They give your table away, mediocre food, in the middle of nowhere, there are better tearooms out there
Whitmore Tearooms的点评
点评:We live 25+ minutes away from here, travelling in Friday traffic is a nightmare as it is. We arrived barely 15 minutes late and they gave our table to someone else. They never called to ask if we were still coming, which is extremely unprofessional of them. So, we had to sit outside instead of on the table we had booked well in advance. It's unfair as the people who took our table could have been sat outside instead and they could have kept our table open for a bit longer. We were sat on a table barely big enough for 3 people let alone two, initially our party was 4 people, it would have been impossible to fit us all on the table.
The food was okay, nothing special but I suppose it beats making it yourself. The cake was sickly and there wasn't enough savoury food to balance out the sweet. Sandwiches are cheap to make so I'm sure they could have added a few more to the selection. Or perhaps made it more savoury with mince pies, scotch eggs, sausage rolls, etc.
The rabbit hole is considerably better and closer so we would rather go there than travel out to here. Especially considering the fact that they will not hold your table for you. I'm disappointed as it was supposed to be a nice day out for a birthday but the table incident ruined the whole vibe.
翻译:我们住的地方离这里25多分钟路程,周五堵车简直就是噩梦。我们到的时候只迟到了15分钟,他们就把我们的桌子让给了别人。他们甚至都没打电话问我们是否还会来,这太不专业了。所以我们只能坐在外面,而不是提前订好的桌子上。这太不公平了,因为占了我们桌子的人本来可以坐在外面,这样他们就可以把我们的桌子多留一会儿。我们坐在一张勉强能坐三个人的桌子上,更别说两个人了,我们一开始一行有四个人,根本不可能坐下所有人。
食物还可以,没什么特别的,但我想总比自己做要好。蛋糕味道太淡了,咸味的也不够中和甜味。三明治做起来很便宜,所以我觉得他们应该多提供一些选择。或者用肉馅饼、苏格兰蛋、香肠卷等等来让它更美味。
兔子洞餐厅好得多,也更近,所以我们宁愿去那里也不愿跑到这儿来。尤其是考虑到他们不会为你保留桌子。我很失望,本来应该是一个美好的生日聚会,但桌子事件毁了整个氛围。
