Cannot believe most of these reviews on the restaurant side of this eatery. Have been here twice for breakfast and they were reasonable but a bit expensive.

In actual fact, the waitress had been lovely and it...

The Lady replied with 'its for customers only". First of all we are customers and order for collection all the time, I was completly taken back by her response as she is only a child. Secondly my daughter has just done a 4 day stint on QMC due to a kidney infection, my point being you never know what people are going through! Thirdly we all know how horrible it is when you need the toilet and cant get to one! Finally what happened to being kind especially to children. Made me upset so i sent my daughter to the toilet anyway. BE KIND AND HAVE...
