点评:Incredibly disappointed with our visit today. I booked a table for 14 of my family members for our belated Xmas catch up. 6 adults and 8 kids.
I booked online & requested to be seated near the kids area.
I rang the pub to double check our booking had been received and reiterated that we had 8 kids with us and we wanted to be seated near the kids area. The man said we would be seated on the deck as there is a function booked on the grass area but the kids outdoor area would be accessible.
When we arrived we were taken to our table & told to keep it down due to a wake being held down on the grass area. I thought this was an unusual request as we were at a pub. We were also seated inside above the area of the wake.
We had 8 kids who desperately wanted to play in the outdoor kids area, but were told we weren’t allowed to go there as the kids might be too loud.
We were told another 4x to be quiet by staff members as there is a wake on and to be more respectful. Also staff were telling the kids their voices travelled and to shoosh. (But they chose to seat us in a room that echoed above the wake).
The adults could not relax the entire time as we constantly had to try and keep our kids from talking too loud and sit still, even desperately had to pull out our iPhones for them.
I was constantly apologising to my family, who I had not seen in months because of how uncomfortable and inconvenient we felt. I was so embarrassed. We ended up leaving the table and standing out the front (smokers area) to finish our drinks, as this was the only area we felt we could talk without being told off.
I would’ve preferred my booking cancelled and being told the play area was going to be out of bounds due to a wake. I would’ve 100 percent booked somewhere else.
It just felt like the pub wanted our money and didn’t care about our experience there. The meals were not cheap either. I personally think it would’ve been more respectful to the wake guests, if the pub booked the entire place just for them. Young kids aren’t to know or understand what a wake is, they were under the impression there would be a kids/grass area to play on & were excited to see their cousins. Very unfair.
翻译:对我们今天的访问感到非常失望。我为 14 名家人预订了一张桌子,以庆祝我们迟来的圣诞节聚会。 6名成人和8名儿童。
我在网上预订并要求坐在儿童区附近。
我打电话给酒吧,再次确认我们的预订是否已收到,并重申我们有 8 个孩子,我们想坐在儿童区附近。该男子说我们将坐在甲板上,因为草地区域预订了一项活动,但儿童户外区域可以使用。
当我们到达时,我们被带到我们的桌子旁,并被告知要保持安静,因为草地上有守灵。我认为这是一个不寻常的要求,因为我们是在酒吧。我们还坐在守灵区上方的位置。
我们有 8 个孩子,他们非常想在户外儿童区玩耍,但被告知我们不可以去那里,因为孩子们可能太大声了。
工作人员告诉我们另外 4 个人要保持安静,因为要叫醒,并且要更加尊重。工作人员还告诉孩子们他们的声音传播并发出呼啸声。 (但他们选择让我们坐在一个在尾迹上方回声的房间里)。
大人们始终无法放松,我们必须不断地阻止孩子们大声说话并安静地坐着,甚至拼命地为他们掏出iPhone。
我一直在向我的家人道歉,我已经几个月没有见到他们了,因为我们感到多么不舒服和不方便。我很尴尬。我们最终离开桌子,站在前面(吸烟区)喝完饮料,因为这是我们觉得我们可以交谈而不会被告知的唯一区域。
我希望我的预订被取消,并被告知游乐区由于唤醒而将超出范围。我百分百会在其他地方预订。
感觉就像酒吧想要我们的钱并且不关心我们在那里的经历。饭菜也不便宜。我个人认为,如果酒吧专门为守灵客人预订整个地方,那就更尊重他们了。年幼的孩子不知道或理解守灵是什么,他们的印象是会有一个儿童/草地可以玩耍,并且很高兴看到他们的表兄弟姐妹。非常不公平。
