点评:We visited the Shoemakers Museum café on Bank Holiday Monday as a group of four adults and three children, including a one-year-old, and unfortunately the service was absolutely appalling.
The first meal arrived around 1 hour and 10 minutes after we ordered, with the rest of the food then coming out at different times. One of the simplest things we ordered was toast for our one-year-old, which took 1 hour and 20 minutes to arrive.
A jacket potato was brought out incorrectly twice before finally arriving correctly on the third attempt, around 1 hour and 30 minutes after ordering. When it did arrive, it was frozen in the middle.
There was also a side salad that never arrived at all.
The food that did eventually arrive correctly was actually nice, and the drinks were fine, which makes the experience even more frustrating. The problem was entirely the incredibly long waits and poor organisation.
We asked for a refund and explained that we were perfectly happy to pay for the drinks. However, we were only refunded for the toast, the missing side salad and the jacket potato. We still paid for the other meals despite waiting over an hour for them to arrive.
What makes this even more disappointing is that the museum was running a special Bank Holiday event, so you would expect the café to have planned appropriately for increased visitor numbers and ensured they had sufficient staffing and kitchen capacity.
Waiting over an hour for the first food to arrive, over an hour for toast for a one-year-old, and around an hour and a half for a frozen jacket potato is simply unacceptable.
Sadly, based on our experience, I would not recommend the café.
翻译:我们一行四人成年人和三个孩子(其中包括一个一岁的幼儿)在银行假日星期一去光顾了鞋匠博物馆咖啡馆,但遗憾的是,那里的服务糟糕透顶。
我们点餐后大约1小时10分钟,第一道菜才送上;其余的食物则陆陆续续在不同时间才上桌。我们为一岁大的孩子点的最简单的食物就是吐司,结果这道菜等了整整1小时20分钟才送到。一个裹有酱料的烤土豆在第三次尝试时才终于被正确送上,此时距离下单已过去了约1小时30分钟。送来的时候,土豆中间部分还是冻着的。
另外,有一份配菜沙拉则根本没送过来。
最终顺利送到的食物其实挺美味的,饮料也不错,这就使得整个体验更加令人沮丧了。问题完全出在漫长得离谱的等待时间以及糟糕的组织的管理上。我们要求退款,并说明我们完全乐意为那些饮料付费。然而,我们只得到了烤面包、缺失的配菜沙拉以及薯仔的退款。尽管等了一个多小时才见到其他餐食上桌,我们还是照价付了款。
更令人失望的是,当时博物馆正在举办特别的银行假日活动。因此,你理应期望这家咖啡馆能针对访客数量的增加做好相应准备,确保有足够的工作人员以及厨房运作能力。
然而,第一份食物等了一个多小时才送上,给一岁大的孩子准备的吐司也等了一个多小时,至于冷冻薯饼则等了大约一个半小时——这种情况实在不可接受。
很遗憾,根据我们的体验,我不推荐这家咖啡馆。
