mazzei cafe in Blackpool

Visited here begging of February for sparkling afternoon tea with my partner . On arrival was greet with a smile and shown to our table, lovely relaxed atmosphere and the staff was friendly and couldn’t do enough for you , sandwich’s and mini cakes was lovely and the scones come with jam and clotted cream .. would highly recommend and great value for £19 each .would definitely visit again if in Blackpool !

popped in for lunch with wife and daughter. my choice was a bowl of soup and was i disappointed ??? You'd better believe i was !!!!! Soup arrived and was COLD, was returned and was told that "someone " had turned urn off and fresh soup would be served when it was warm. so far so good you would think..never . the soup when it came was at best TEPID , but to be told when it was brought to table that i should enjoy it now it was warm... terrible

Treated my mum to sparkling afternoon tea here while visiting from Wales. Beforehand the Winter Gardens put me in touch with Anusha at the cafe because I wanted to make it a little special for her as she was 60. I only expected a little candle stuck in her scone or something but Anusha arranged banners on the table, balloons and was really attentive when we arrived, taking photographs for us. The tea itself was delightful, just the right amount! What a lovely day, it really made our trip. Thanks Anusha and team.

3 out of 10 ....lovely relaxing surroundings for a coffee and cake /toastie etc and is fresh and airy and shows the history of the building from its early beginnings decades ago. Prices are a wee bit on the dearer side as expected...but I was disappointed when I got my coffee and found my spoon was filthy or hadn't been cleaned or whatever....and there was no way I was going to stir my coffee with that! Luckily I used a disposable wooden stirrer but I was surprised that the high standards of this cafe seem to be slipping...I hope it was a one off!

I had lunch here twice whilst visiting the Winter Gardens for a weekend event. The sandwich I had was soggy and tiny for £3.00 which was overpriced but the soup was delicious at £3.50 with a tiny bread roll and butter. Coffee was decent and the cakes looked great but I didn’t try them. Staff were pleasant but seemed disorganised and the wait for coffee was too long and portion sizes inconsistent. One soup we had was full whilst another was half the size. A 500ml bottle of water was £2.50 and all food and drink was served on paper plates/cups/cutlery which is odd given it’s marketed as a high end piano bar café. It’s more cafeteria style I would say, which the prices don’t reflect. It has plenty of tables and good decor.

We had lunch here and were well satisfied with the food price and service in spacious pleasant surroundings

Had coffee and cake on a Thursday afternoon in October. The lattes were very milky and the cake slices were substantial but covered with an overly sweet cream icing. Best thing about the food and drink was the bottle of cola!Live singer from the room next door was a bit loud.The reason to come to this place is the decor. The setting is splendid with lots of interesting things to look at as you drink coke.Disappointing.....but the Winter Gardens is fab!

My friend and I popped in there on the off chance for lunch before we headed home on the train. Fortunately it was quite quiet when we went. The café sells typical fare such as sandwiches, soups, cakes etc. However, the surroundings are very pretty indeed.

This place only does sandwiches, soup and cakes. They have six sandwiches on the menu We arrived at 1 o’clock to find they only had three left!!! I had a tuna mayo sandwich. It was okay but it could have done with more salad inside. Also the only crips available were Pringles ready salted. My companion had the soup of the day. It was meant to be served with a bread roll and butter. It came with a bread roll however there was no butter. Eventually the butter arrived 20 minutes later from another part of the building, after we had finished our meal!!! The soup was beef and tomato. It tasted like leftover Bolognese sauce!!! There are plenty of other cafes next door to the Winter gardens go there instead!!!! Little wonder this Art Deco gem was empty!!!

We called for coffee this afternoon & was appalled at the miserable dark haired waitress that served us. I was kept waiting nearly 5 minutes before being served, in this time she was stood tending to the coffee machines??? She did say begrudgingly, after what seemed a very long time, that she would be with me shortly with no smile & no interest shown. I was then served & waited again more than 5 minutes for the coffee. When it did arrive she handed the tray over saying one latte & one cappuccino, no smile & no thank you. I was mortified by the long & abysmally poor service. We did notice other customers waiting a long time to be served & one lady had to shout for service. Come on Winter Gardens, this is not the first time we have encountered ignorant staff, please please employ staff with good customer service skills, who put their customers first. We will not be returning!

I am sure some will think that the Decor in this establishment is Dated, Dark and Dingy. I Disagree. To me Mazzei Cafe is quite classy, with a1920s feel to it.We visited at a quiet time, so there were no speed of Service Issues. The brews we had were most acceptable and reasonably priced for the locality.If you are visiting the Winter Gardens then you will obviously come across Mazzei Cafe. If you are in Blackpool and passing near the WinterGardens, then you might consider dropping in and enjoying the ambience, and some suitable refreshment.Major Credit Cards are accepted.

We came to an afternoon show ,& decided to grab a sandwich before it started. There was one table occupied when we sat down so we thought service wouldhave been quick. How wrong we were . Four of us decided on cheese & onion toasties. They came after a long wait with the thinnest slice of tomato I have ever seen a couple of lettuce leaves & a spoonful of coleslaw. It got really busy so how long these people had to wait I don't know. Would not go again.

Ordered 2 Black Forest hot chocolates, what did we get, cheap cherry syrup, nothing like Black Forest. Abysmal service, staff standing around, counter staff member on hot drinks worked at snails pace ( sorry insulting snails, she was slower) and for what it was, better off going to Costa down the road. And it smells damp avoid at all costs

Quiet on arrival then suddenly very busy as Motown the musical was on across the road - service collapsed- we left after a drink and one course after 65 minutes! and had our dessert & coffee elsewhere - very disappointing

Found this cafe by chance and have now visited it several times. Staff are very helpful food is lovely and great value. Plenty of space between the tables!!

Popped into this restaurant for afternoon tea, the atmosphere was so lovely, soft piano music played in the background, looked around groups of people having a glass of wine and snacks I could have stayed for hours, and the tea and scone was tasty too

It's a lovely Cafe where you can almost step back in time with the art deco surroundings and a resident pianist. The food is nice and the staff are very friendly and helpful.

Very stylish art deco cafe within the Winter gardens complex. Complete with piano playing. Cafe reminds me of a couple in style I visited in Porto. Very quiet when I went which is a shame

Food choices very limited - soup, sandwiches and toasties basically. Had to wait a long time to be served even though there was nobody else waiting, then got charged more for what I ordered than the displayed price.

Visited twice for lunch while on holiday, menu basic but quality good as was service. Good value for money and lovely surroundings

A good place to call in for a relxed snack or drink. Splendid interior design. Friendly staff and overall good surroundings to `sit a while`.

Called just after 12 noon thought this would be a nice place for an appetiser before seeing a daytime show at the opera house across the other side of the winter gardens but was surprised to be told the soup of the day can not be named until it’s delivered but no sign of any deliveries so had to leave very disappointed will not visit again also the tables were dirty.

Went in for 3 coffees and a toasted tea cake for my mum who is 85, my wife and I waited 10 minutes at the counter for the drinks to be done and 45 minutes! for the 1 tea cake , twice my wife went up about it ..... absolutely ridiculous I could have had a 3 course meal elsewhere in that time, staff standing around and not helpful at all!!!!

Visited with a party of 13 ladies lovely room though quite cold and soulless,order your meal at counter 1 person serving who was rude and totally uninterested in any of the customers,her manner was rude and extremely unhelpful.Serving of food was slow even though 2 of us were first to order mine appeared last which was only a cheeses toasty

Visited many times and has been great but will no longer visit. The offers available appear good value but if you vary the offer price, for example choosing a hot chocolate rather than tea or coffee you pay twice. The simple bacon bap at £3.00 Including tea is cheap but the quality is poor. If you change the tea for hot chocolate it costs £5.60. Healthy options are unavailable due to buterless baps not existing.

Popped in middle of December for coffee and snack.

Having booked afternoon tea at the cafe via email for a very special family occasion, Valerie and the rest of the staff made it a fantastic day for myself and family.

Stopped here whilst walking through the Winter Gardens. Very spacious and nicely set out. Ordered coffee and cake which arrived promptly. Staff were very polite and courteous. There was a pianist playing which was a nice change from sitting at tiny cramped tables in the likes of Costa or Starbucks.

The venue is stunning. The café has lovely area to sit down to have a quite cup of coffee. The staff couldn't of been anymore helpful and always smiling. Special thanks to the lady called Val who made us feel welcome and told us about other places to visit in Blackpool as we are new to this area

We were visiting the dance competition/ exhibition with friends and stopped for lunch. Food and service was ok but they seemed to be a bit short staffed and we had to wait a little while to get served. The place was very busy and the staff seemed a little disinterested. It's ok for sandwiches, snacks and drinks. On the day we were there it was cash only at the counter.

We were in the winter gardens for Illuminasia, and called in here for a bite to eat for lunch. Hugh place, very impressive decor, a pianist was playing, so we thought nice...but the menu was very small, ended up being a rather grand coffee shop. Nice selection of cakes, and sandwiches however, which was ok for us. Only did about 5 meals to speak of. Found it all a bit strange. Took over 5 mins to get my coffees, and buy my sandwiches, although the staff did apologise... Prices are ok however, and the sandwiches were ok.

You would expect better, always short staffed, poor layout at the counter, limited food due to staffing issues. when the pianist is playing it has a lovely atmosphere you would expect from the location

Ambiance nil, staff uninterested and unhelpful, no pianist,food mediocre,drinks on par with dishwater! Please , please, please sack the washerupper as the tea pots had the dirtiest spouts I have ever seen. This coffee shop does nothing to promote the beautiful setting of the Winter Gardens and being a hotelier in the town I will not be recommending this venue to any of my guests. This could be a wonderful experience to tourists but to the party I was with it was a total let down.

My sister and I was on holiday , we popped in on Thursday for a light lunch to be greeted by this dull faced young lady it was like a effort take an Order , Anyways we got our food I must say the food was very well presented and delicious it's a beautiful place Art Deco , however when there staff like that it can put people right off returning !!!

Small party of 7, hardly anyone in I ordered several coffee`s, staff ignorant, I tried to relate to the staff, but they were so rude, I couldn't believe my ears had our drinks and left, never again

The teas and coffees were very nice and the scones and double cream really nice! It is nice to sit in a lovely room with an atmosphere such as could more readily be found in times gone by. It is well furnished with a grand piano as a centre-piece and I understand that there is a pianist at certain times to complete the afternoon tea experience.

We booked afternoon tea for ourselves & guests for our wedding reception on Saturday 1st July 2017.

Very well laid out, with comfy chairs. It was so nice to have a relaxing cold drink with a toasted cheese and bacon sandwich, with side salad. With such a hot day it was nice to sit down in a cool environment and have a chat.

Lunch and afternoon teas with friends. Ham and cheese toasty lovely and served with coleslaw and salad, well presented. Roast potato with cheese also great. Chocolate cup cake lovely but after tasting the lemon cake (in packaging) I would have chosen that. It was devine. Moist with a nice thick slab of icing. Great prices so we came back for lunch. Live panio lovely in the background. I loved winter gardens and the Ballroom dancing. My girlfriends daughter was representing Australia :) Very warm in Winter Gardens compared to the outside temp so wear a jacket you can take off

Visited for a cup of tea, came with teapots, cups and saucers all quite normal and enjoyed. After a while we thought we would order some food, girl,asked other staff oh! we are not doing hot food or any of the food on the menu!! Only the cakes and sandwiches on display. Staff attitudes were abissmal. Ordered more tea arrived in paper cups no explanation why obviously couldn't be bothered to wash up. Still charged the same price absolutely appalling.

We made two visits, the musician got a round of applause. It is spacious, finely decorated to look as if it has gold lame' drapes. They also serve food through to the bar next door, where we were entertained by 2 musicians.

Went here for lunch having not been in quite some time. The only good thing was that the pianist was in playing hits from the musicals. There was no hot food available and no explanation offered, simply 'we aren't doing hot food today', we had two toasted sandwiches, some cakes and some drinks. I could have made nicer toasties at home, the cakes were just ok, the coffee was terrible. Worst of all, however was the attitude of the staff, I genuinely felt that we were annoying them by ordering anything at all. We are local and, though I love going to listen to the piano, we will not be going back in a hurry.

Went to this cafe and ordered coffee and a minute steak on ciabatta sandwich. Sandwich took over 45 minutes to be delivered to my table. Food was excellent when it eventually arrived but what a wait. Good job I wasn't in a hurry.

Top notch! Booked afternoon tea for a 70th birthday treat for 6 adults and 2 children. We booked for the stunning art deco surroundings but to be honest we expected average to poor food as our expectations of Blackpool are pretty low but we were delighted with what we received. Beautifully presented on contemporary 3 tier stands, we enjoyed delicate sandwiches with lovely soft, fresh bread and generous, tasty fillings, fresh that day fruited scones with clotted cream and good jam, and a top layer of exquisite-looking cupcakes, all served with decent tea and coffee. All this was less than £50 for all of us which we thought was incredible value. The staff were helpful and pleasant and the manager of the Grill opposite was very helpful on the phone when we booked. We could not fault our experience at all and would thoroughly recommend. If this was anywhere other than Blackpool, it would be treasured and busy all year. I would put this cafe's afternoon tea (and a tour of the Winter Gardens if you can) at the top of any visitor's itinerary. Thanks for making us feel that there is hope for Blackpool yet!

went to the Winter Gardens to shelter from the rain , and found the Mezzei Cafe , lovely service which brightened our day

First time eat here. Had lasagne salad and garlic bread. £5.50. It was lovely. It was very pleasant, step back in time with the decor. Only down fall was 30 minutes wait for food. Much cook to order, well worth it. Will revisit

Food was good, no issues around this but what was poor was the staff. Slow service, miserable as you like, coffee all over the show unfortunately would go and a sit on the pier. In the winter, on a rainy day, with howling winds instead.

having loved the winter gardens all my life we have never missed going in there when in blackpool....however the service in this café was the worst ever and a total let down to this fabulous building.... we ordered tea and scones the tea was almost cold and on cutting the scone it just broke into what you could only call sawdust on the plate no point trying to spread butter on it....taking it back to the counter the I said how am I supposed to eat this and was met by a....I didn't give it you like that....yes they changed it but then we were met by continuing scowels from the waitress.so very disappointing......we won't be going in there again.

Always love a stroll through the Winter Gardens when we visit Blackpool and a stop off here for a cup of tea. It is so peaceful and quiet and a nice change from the hustle and bustle of the shops and streets.

Nice place badly let down by poor service and disorganised staff. Wouldn't visit again, long wait for 2 coffees and staff disinterested. Disappointing

We regularly stop by for tea/coffee and a scone/cake.Great place to unwind and watch the world go by.Piano music is often played and very pleasant.We have always found staff to be attentive.Lovely art deco features in the cafe.Well worth a visit.

I think the term café gives the wrong impression for this place. It is a huge room with an art deco look about it and a pianist in the middle of the room playing a selection of show songs. That's not something you get in the average Blackpool café. My friend and I had a coffee and cake which was delicious. They do meals as well and the prices on the menu looked reasonable. A group of people on the table next to us had the afternoon tea with sandwiches and cakes. The menu states that you have to pre-book this. On the wall there is a screen which shows pictures of old Blackpool. If you are looking for somewhere relaxing to eat and drink away from the town centre this is a good place. However it does get very busy especially when there are shows on at the Winter Gardens. There is also the added advantage of the beauty of the Winter Gardens building itself.

3rd visit to Blackpool, and never been inside the Winter Gardens until today. Lovely little cafe-not too expensive either. Cheese and onion toastie was lovely! Staff could have done with a little cheering up though....

A tea room in the winter gardens , gave me the idea that it would be like the old styles Lyons tea house but sadly not , it was nice but not what I expected instead of it being waitress service it was like a fast food/coffee shop , where in that you order food and take a number and they come to look for you. So didn't go back for the afternoon tea , buy saying that the lunchtime coffee was ok and had live piano playing background music.

A great atmosphere and not too busy for a Sunday afternoon lunch. The club chicken and bacon sandwich was huge and tasty. It came with a bucket of chips too for £5. I was stuffed! Loved the mix of people here and buzzing atmosphere in the winter gardens a great find.

we went into winter gardens and found cafe by chance. excellent value steak ciabatta £6.50 and chicken and bacon club sandwich with fries £5.00. very relaxing atmosphere and excellent value. food well presented ,would defiantly visit again. staff friendly and polite.

The young lady who works here is such a nice addition & hell of a hard worker ! We were there for 4 days & she seemed to be their constantly. Food is good but very overpriced .Service is good & friendly enough.

Called in here a couple of times for a cup of tea which I really enjoyed. The staff were polite, and the prices were reasonable. The atmosphere was very relaxing, and I enjoyed watching the old clips of the winter gardens on the television. Will definitely be visiting again.

very nice had the club sandwich with chips and a hot chocolate and cappuccino. beverages were hot and good taste. Food was good value, £5 for a chicken and bacon club sandwich and fries. good service but the ordering and paying service was slow.

I placed an order for tea and 3 toasted sandwiches. The tea was the strangest colour and flavour, we thought it was green tea. After 15 minutes wait, I enquired how long the toasted sandwiches take to arrive. Another 15 minutes I was told. We couldn't wait any longer so we asked for a refund of our money. We were then rudely kept waiting for our £9. Not impressed with service, quality or politeness of staff. We would not return.

Blackpool was very busy when we visited and we have walked past Mazzei on previous occasions and noticed it was never full. I suspected this might be a good stop for lunch to avoid the usual crowded places.

Had a beautiful meal here, very quick service with a smile. Called in without booking and was offered a table right away even though they were very busy, excellent.

Visited with my husband . Decided to go here as wanted something different from usual same old high street coffee shops . And it certainly was different ! Firstly there were no trays available to use, and people were all wandering around aimlessly looking . Then the elderly couple in front of us had ordered 2 club sandwiches and their drinks and, after a good 5 minutes waiting to pay, were told no club sandwiches were available . They then pondered the menu for a few minutes and decided to order 2 meat and potato pies as a second choice . The totally uninterested assistant informed them that wasn't on today's menu - when the pleasant gentleman indicated to where he had seen it he was told " oh that's the weekend menu - it should have been changed !" - it's Tuesday !! No apology ! The poor old lady then browsed the very limited choice of ready made sandwiches and decided to leave it at a cup of tea ! I could almost hear her stomach rumbling under her obvious disappointment ! So I guess it was no surprise when I requested the clotted cream to go with our scones ( as clearly advertised ) to be told they didn't have any !! The final straw came when I produced my debit card to pay to be told it was cash only !! No sign to tell you this and it's very unusual for me to carry cash ! The whole experience was very disappointing for such a lovely setting and we will not visit again . The assistant was uninteresting , far from apologetic and not really very polite . I never saw even a mild suggestion of a smile !! I work with the public and have for 30 plus years and hope I never treat anyone like this .

This cafe is very opulent gorgeous little haven I have visited many times good drinks cakes and food reasnobly priced .

plenty of seating. friendly staff, was very busy when we went. as the pigeon show was on. the cafe was clean and had plenty of staff.

It is so nice to relax in a cosy and wonderfully stylish place as the Winter Gardens, without the hefty price tag. Good quality and affordable.

They only use take away cups which is disappointing and they are very small - bread for sandwiches was stale.

Me & her ladyship called in Mazzei Cafe after good reports off some friends. We ordered Tea & Coffee + two toasted teacakes we did not require much food as we just wanted a snack. We found a table & waited for the food 20 minutes had gone by & no teacakes we asked where they were & was told that they had burnt them & were doing some more. Its not rocket science to come & tell us what was going on & there was a delay. Once they did come they were excellent & of a large size.

We called to the Mazzei last night before the show

Called in Mazzei whilst on a shopping trip with Family & Friends, What a lovely place it is, large and plenty of space between tables, was expecting over the top prices but they are very reasonable, we had Tea, Latte's & Cappuccinos & Toasties which were all very nice, would definitely call in again.

Went in here for afternoon tea after going into the Illuminasia Exhibition. Was really lovely, choice of sandwiches which were very tasty. Scones were so light and quite big. There was six of us and they have us a huge pot of tea, and topped it up for us too. Love the Art Drco in there, also in the adjoining bar there was a singer too which was an added extra. Highly recommend this venue for Afternoon Tea or any other meal

This is a lovely cafe -art deco style. It features a Grand piano which was utilised by the lovely Juan Lazano when I had my lunch. I found the staff to be nice and polite. The toasted sandwiches and drinks we had were served promptly and were really tasty. It has a chilled vibe about it.

Called in for coffee with my wife. Ordered a latte and a hot chocolate. I got a tea and a hot chocolate. When I said I ordered coffee she checked on the till rolled her eyes and gave me a cold latte. Heard another lady complain and was told they not allowed to make it hot. Mine was luke warm. Also got a stale cherry scone and a slice of dry fruit cake. Normally I would have taken them back but I can't blame the girls who work there they are just following orders. I won't be returning so if the boss happens to read this shame on you for selling such rubbish in an establishment like the Winter Gardens. We expect more

Milk can go off, and anyone can make a mistake - it's how you put it right that counts. The cafe is in a truly lovely setting - it was a shame that it's self service, and more of a shame that the milk that went into my husband's tea was off. When he took it back, the waitress gave him some new milk and a new cup, but didn't offer to refill the teapot until requested!!!! Quite bizarre. Possibly a one off mistake after a long weekend, but even so!!!

My husband and I often call in for a coffee when we are out shopping as its such a lovely place to spend awhile having a coffee.The tables have plenty of room between them and the surroundings are beautiful and very quiet considering where it is..Its like stepping back in time.Occasionaly there has been someone gently playing the grand piano which sits in the middle of the floor which is lovely.It would be nice though to hear just a little bit of background music from the era that this old place represents.......but not too loud I hasten to add.The staff are always friendly and chatty and helpful aswell.

Tucked away inside the Winter Gardens is this fabulous cafe away from the hustle and bustle and noise of Blackpool Centre. Here you can step back in time and relax and enjoy a good lunch at a very decently cheap price compared to the coffee shops in the centre.

It's hard to believe a few years ago the splendid 1930 s features were hidden by fruit machines ! This once tacky arcade is now a splendid place to have tea and cake or a snack .... Visited today and a guy was playing the piano it was a lovely atmosphere away from hustle and bustle of Blackpool... Pot of tea £1.75 made 2 cups good value the toasted sandwiches are basic but good value too ... Hope this just the start of the upgrade of the winter gardens

We had a light lunch after visiting the illuminasia display. The food was good and there was a gentleman playing the piano so we ended up lingering. It was a cold wet afternoon outside but you could just forget it and go back in time to 1920's elegance. Lovely.

We went in here pre-theatre and had coffee,which was really nice.We were tempted to indulge in a cake(which looked delicious)but decided not to,but will give in to temptation next time!

I am no stranger to the Winter Gardens, I have been to a few conferences and shows, I was surprised by the cafe, it is a quaint walk back in time.

Traditional old time, clean, open and relaxed environment. Prices very competitive. Well worth a pop in away from the bustle of the busy blackpool high streets

This restaurant really has a nice relaxing feel to it. the decor is beautiful, following the theme of the elegance seen in the theatres and opera house in the Winter Gardens. It has a piano in the centre which wasn''t being used when we visited, though this would make it even more classy and relaxing. Though we only had a snack here, it was lovely and freshly prepared.

This is Blackpool, not a southern spar town! Usually people go to Blackpool, or used to, to enjoy themselves. We visited at lunchtime with old friends from college and found the café very quiet but the snacks were good and at very good prices, half what you would pay south of Watford anyway. We were in a good mood and enjoyed a little banter with the staff who responded well and served well. The facilities in the building are excellent, toilets very clean. The room next door had a live band playing and two of our party took the opportunity for a jive (much to the surprise of some of the others there). Much has and is changing in Blackpool but the old atmosphere is still there. Relax, enjoy. Look for fun and you will find it. May be different in the night but if you want a quick break in the middle of the day I would recommend you give the Mazzei Café a try.

What a shame. Lovely building but payed more than other more popular cafés for coffee to be put in plastic cups. After refusing to pay the waitress poured them into proper cups explaining that there was a show on - there were only 3 other customers in and the staff were standing around. Not pleasant, slow and took there time to acknowledge me in the first place.

Would recommend a visit to the winter gardens but definitely not Mazzei cafe. Staff are awful. No urgency. Waited for 2 pots of tea for 45 minutes before walking out after complaining to the manager. It was not busy, there were plenty of staff very slowly taking orders, had to queue for 15 minutes to give order. Appalling.

Right inside the newly refurbished Winter Gardens - go see them and try and get on a tour! Visited this place four times - first day at weekend it was waitress service - had green tea - rest of the week it wasn't and they didn't have green tea! Great decor and very tranquil. I don't personally think they should leave milk on the tables (sugar cubes, well fair enough). Place needs a piano :) Still its a great loacation, drinks are made to oder - one day we ordered by waitress, another at the counter and they borught them over, another at the counter and we waited for them to give us a tray. Manager was experimenting they said. I wonder what the annswer is? There is a stunning spanish bar next door, looks like a galleon.. but I digress. This place is pretty good.

Perhaps we caught them on an off-day.Perhaps they were short-staffed.You get your tea served in a plastic cup-you get soup served in a plastic cup.The toasties were truly awful.My experience was a really poor experience.
