Visited the Spinning Jenny Cafe today for afternoon tea with my husband brought from Groupon. We arrived at 2.05p.m. After entering went to counter to inform we had a voucher booking and was told to sit at any table decide which sandwiches we wanted and choice of fruit or cheese scone and go back to counter to order with table number. On the menu we were given for the afternoon tea it also said choose your coffe or tea from their various varieties. We decided to have a Latte, however when ordering was told we could only have tea or filter coffee, obviously no choice. After 10 mins drinks arrived but then waited nearly 1 hour for food to arrive. Ham sandwich was more gristle than ham and very dry as no butter on bread ham also tasteless, second sandwich should have been mixed cheese and spring onion but was egg and cress. I went to the counter to raise my concerns and was told new sandwiches would be bought over. New ham sandwich a little better but still tasteless and a bit gristly . Cheese sandwich better but don't know where the spring onion was. Rest of the tea was nice scone very nice. By this time we needed another drink I went to ask for more but was told you only get one drink and have to pay for more but the young girl did give us a free one for all the problems we had. Definitely would never pay the full price for a cream tea there if that's...

Whilst the food itself was nice the whole experience was blighted by surly staff, bad service, (a 50 minute wait from ordering to the food arriving at the table), how long does it take to load plates for goodness sake, it's not as if the sandwiches were being made to order, I saw them being unwrapped from bought in produce whilst I was at the counter complaining. The staff were awful, 'service with a snarl', when we asked for the sticky table to be wiped it was grudgingly wiped with an overly wet cloth, meaning that it had to dried by my wife and I with a handful of napkins. When the food came it was unceremoniously plonked on the table with a grunt. A great pity, because the cakes and scones were nice, but as an experience I will not be recommending it to friends and I will be informing Groupon of the shabby performance. Could and should do...
Read moreWe are here whilst on a day out at Hatton Adventure World. The menu was basic and prices high for what you get.
It was a very warm day and the inside of the pub was stifling, only one fan situated near the bar for the staff. The service was okay, but not amazing. The food was okay but neither of us finished our meals with gusto. There were no drinks menus on the tables, in order to find out what drinks were available you had to go to the bar and review a list on the counter. I ordered a lime cordial with soda, but it was more cordial than soda, almost illuminous green!
Overall it was aimed at the captive audience there, not much effort was put into the place, but enough to...
