点评:I love Van Hage as a garden centre. It’s wonderful to walk around and it has lots of interesting sections. Unfortunately, the cafe lets it down. The cafe is large and has lots of tables, but unfortunately not the staff capacity to cope with this. We waited almost an hour for our food only for some of it to arrive cold. We were hungry so could not send it back and risk another hour wait. We saw so many people complaining. Maybe have less tables and let people queue and serve the ones already sitting quicker than taking queues of orders and letting the customer wait hours for a scone! We also visit Aylett garden Centre in St Albans. Their cafe is a quarter of the size and they wait for tables to become empty, but we are always served quicker even after queuing less time.
If you are not in a hurry then use the cafe, but they are cutting into your shopping time and logically surely they want you to shop more!
翻译:我喜欢Van Hage这家花园中心。逛起来很惬意,而且有很多有趣的区域。可惜的是,咖啡馆却令人失望。咖啡馆很大,桌子也很多,但可惜的是,人手不足。我们等了将近一个小时才吃到东西,结果有些菜都凉了。我们当时很饿,所以不敢退回去再等一个小时。我们看到很多人都在抱怨。或许应该减少一些桌子,让顾客排队,这样就能更快地服务已经入座的顾客,而不是让顾客排着长队点餐,然后等几个小时才能吃到一块司康饼!我们还会去圣奥尔本斯的Aylett花园中心。他们的咖啡馆只有Van Hage的四分之一大小,而且他们会等到有空位才上菜,但即使排队时间更短,上菜速度也总是更快。
如果你不赶时间,可以去咖啡馆,但他们确实会占用你的购物时间,而且从逻辑上讲,他们肯定希望你多买东西!
