New Lanark Mill Cafe — Restaurant in Scotland

This was a truly terrible experience. We arrived at an almost empty cafe around three pm on easter sunday with two children. A couple of soups, two hotdogs, a scone and a cake for the youngest were ordered and approx 15 mins later these were brought to our table. In all honesty neither I nor the eldest child had the stomach for what was presented as "soup". I have rinsed better from my washing up bowl. Not even served with a roll but rather with a slice of bread presumably from a staff members personal shopping but at least it was cut diagonally The hotdogs had been hot for a long time, by the look and texture of them a very very very long time.The poor scone faired no better and had also seen better days (at least yesterday) as had the cake for the youngest in our party.

I don't know where it was going wrong as all the staff were busy the whole time and weren't skiving but all the customers were throughly upset. Maybe more staff need to be employed...
