I wouldn’t typically review a place like Spoons because I feel as if on some sense you know what you’re going to get. Decent food for a decent price - however, after the experience I had in this restaurant I feel compelled to review. I, and some others planned to meet some friends and decided to gather here and eat. However, one of my friends had a mcdonalds voucher so decided to get small fries and a coke and eat inside spoons since that’s where everybody else was eating anyways. We had all sat down for about 5-6 minutes before a member of staff came over and started SHOUTING at my friend saying how disrespectful it was for her to be eating something else in the building (as if this grotty pub was some fine establishment), my friend, being non-confrontational and trying to diffuse the situation was instantly apologetic and politely asks if she could just put the mcdonalds in her bag and continue to sit down with us, to which he replied, (now standing over her and once again shouting) ‘no! You need to get up right now before I ban all of you!’ and ‘you leave right now or you’re never leaving!’ (which sounded like a light threat) as she picks up her bag and coat, getting up to leave, he continues to verbally berate her saying ‘Come on! It’s now or never!’. And motioning her angrily to pack up faster. (The whole restaurant now quiet watching him scream at this poor woman.) This situation could easily of been handled by him politely telling her that if she wanted to sit in the building, she had to get rid of her food and order, (even silently and politely asking her to leave would be okay!) but I guess that a grown man yelling at and humiliating a young woman over a small mcdonalds fries and coke is acceptable(?). As I had already ordered, I couldn’t leave, however some people went with her (out of pure disgust for the way she was treated). When my food arrived on the table by the man, he spat out the sentence ‘here’s your food. Thanks for ordering, unlike some of your friends.’ with a rude tone and disgusted look on his face. Being a server should always be about diffusing difficult situations, it should NEVER be about starting difficult situations. I am so dissatisfied with the member of staff and do not recommend at all.
