Hmm there was a time when it was a pleasure to go into this Caffe Nero but todays experience was somewhat lacking.im trying to make allowances for the fact that everywhere is just re-opening and staff are under pressure in a lot of ways but I just thought there was something missing today.i wouldn't say the service was friendly more sort of going through the motions.i had to clear the previous customers tray from our table and it was clear that tables were NOT being cleaned in between customers.coupled with that there was no active promotion of test and trace being operated.with the exception of posters on the wall with a QR code that u were supposed to scan, which I didnt see one customer doing.my son enjoyed his panini but my bar of chocolate was on the point of melting amd my daughters gluten free cake was soggy!!Compared to other cafes and hospitality outlets Caffe Nero needs to think a wee bit about pulling its socks up based on this visit.definite room for...
