点评:Another excellent visit to Paddock Farm; we travel here most weekends from Bishop Auckland so that's a good sign !! As always a lovely, warm welcome from all staff. I was disappointed in the cafe but by no means anything to do with the staff or food but the extremely rude customers on the bank holiday !! The staff explained there would be a long delay which gave us the option to go elsewhere but everyone said they were okay waiting. I could not believe the way those customers spoke to the cafe staff; totally unacceptable. Emma is always accommodating and explains if she's working alone and/or if there will be a delay serving food. Why do customers think if their order is "just a coffee/sandwich" that they should get their food first ?!! The food is always of good quality, great portion sizes and very fresh and hot. We then proceeded to buy some beautiful flowers and plants which again are in the main excellent quality and definitely well priced. A lovely range of fountains too, many solar options which are extremely well priced. Staff always go above and beyond and if they don't know the answer to a question they'll ask their colleagues or even look it up !! You would not get that in a commercial garden centre that's for sure !! I personally can't thank all of the staff enough. I always leave there feeling relaxed, refreshed and with a smile on my face
翻译:又一次精彩的帕多克农场之旅!我们几乎每个周末都会从奥克兰主教区来这里,这足以说明它一直很棒!一如既往,所有员工都热情友好地欢迎我们。我对咖啡馆有点失望,但这绝对不是因为员工或食物的问题,而是因为节假日那天遇到的顾客极其粗鲁!员工解释说会耽搁很长时间,让我们选择去别的地方,但每个人都说他们可以等。我简直不敢相信那些顾客对咖啡馆员工的态度,完全不可接受。艾玛总是很热情周到,她会解释自己是否独自工作,或者上菜是否会延迟。为什么有些顾客觉得,如果他们点的只是“一杯咖啡/一个三明治”,就应该先吃到食物呢?!这里的食物品质一如既往地好,分量足,而且非常新鲜热乎。之后我们又买了一些漂亮的花卉和植物,大部分品质都很好,价格也很合理。这里还有各种各样的喷泉,很多都是太阳能的,价格也非常实惠。员工总是尽心尽力,如果他们不知道问题的答案,他们会问同事,甚至会上网查找!这在商业园艺中心绝对找不到!我个人对所有员工感激不尽。每次离开那里,我都感觉身心放松、神清气爽,脸上总是挂着笑容。
