点评:Monday 20th July, we popped in for lunch only to be told the cafe was closed and there was a pop up alternative in the shop. No lunch, just soup, scone and a cake or two. Not for the first time this has happened. Previously the kitchen was closed for a deep clean. I didn’t bother asking on this occasion but did ask if it would be open on the 21st. YES, it would be open.
Tuesday 21st July, we arrived around mid day. All set for a light lunch only to be disappointed once again. Cafe closed due to private event. We spoke to some other patrons who also expressed their disappointment and like us left. Good news was that the nearby KINGSBARNS Inn has started doing lunches. I guess that will be tomorrow’s lunch stop.
Over the last several months we have noticed a decline in the staff attitude at Cambo, from a welcoming and friendly manner to one lacking any care whatsoever. When asked about who runs the Cafe, the young waiter said it was the TRUST. Maybe the TRUST should have a look at the what previously created a pleasurable experience to what is now no longer something to we look forward to.
Will the Cafe be open on the 22nd July, who knows, none of the staff we asked could confirm one way or the other. ‘An alien invasion’ or some other excuse may close what was a much loved Cafe for lunch when in this area.
翻译:7月20日星期一,我们去那里吃午饭,却被告知咖啡馆关门了,店里有个临时开张的替代店铺。没能吃到午饭,只买了些汤、司康饼和一两块蛋糕。这种事已经不是第一次发生了。之前厨房也曾因彻底清洁而关闭。这次我没再询问,不过问了21日是否会营业。答案是:会的,会开门。
7月21日星期二,我们在中午左右到达。本准备吃顿简单的午餐,结果又失望而归。咖啡馆因举办私人活动而关门。我们与其他几位顾客交谈过,他们都和我们一样感到失望,随后也离开了。好消息是,附近的KINGSBARNS客栈开始提供午餐服务了。我想明天我们就会在那里吃午饭。
过去几个月里,我们注意到Cambo咖啡馆员工的服务态度有所下滑:从以往热情友善的态度变成了漠不关心、毫无善意的表现。当我们询问是谁在经营这家咖啡馆时,那位年轻的服务员回答说是“信托机构”。或许TRUST应该研究一下:是什么曾经造就了愉悦的体验,而现在却不再能让我们心生期待了。
7月22日咖啡馆会开门吗?谁知道呢,我们询问的每一位员工都无法确定。或许是“外星人入侵”或者别的什么借口,导致这家曾深受当地人喜爱的午餐场所不得不关门停业。
