Shocking experience just now. Went in and asked if there was anywhere we could sit as our 2 year old was in the car and we didn’t want to go through the hassle of getting her out of the car to find out there wasn’t somewhere to sit. We were informed there was a table free in the bar, so I ran back out to the car with a thumbs up. We then went to the bar where the member of the team was good enough to clean a high chair and seat us.

After having a good look through the menu’s we were ready to order, a bearded man appears not to take our order, but to ask us if we had a booking and that we could no longer sit there and would a sofa be okay? Now, having a 2 year old in a high chair and already being seated who was already hungry and thinking she was about to eat and had asked for broccoli. (no reserve sign on the table may I add where there were on numerous other tables). Feeling a little miffed due to the situation I then explained that we had checked before sitting and we’re told that this table was fine to sit at, the bearded man then said “sorry, that’s not my problem”.

Absolutely appalling service and I left very upset and hungry. To add to that, we had to put our now confused (and hungry) 2 year old back in the car and drive home.

From a nice Sunday lunch treat for the family (let’s face it, the prices The Moorings charge it’s exactly that!) I’m now at home drinking a protein shake.

My daughter however got her broccoli! The only positive that came out of this quite frankly shocking experience.

A real shame.
