I can't think of a time I have been made to feel more unwelcome in a cafe. We walked in just before 3 and noticed all of the empty tables had reserved signs on them, a little bit odd but we thought they'd prepped them for the next day. We ordered drinks and cakes and when asked where we sitting we asked where we were allowed to sit as all of the tables were either occupied or had reserved signs on them. We were told we couldn't sit at any table with a reserved sign on it because the table was closed. A table became available but it was full of dirty crockery and the height of the chairs wasn't suitable for those in our party with reduced mobility. We eventually negotiated a reserved picnic bench which I had to wipe down myself because it was covered in other people's food. Our drinks came out and were slammed on the table, with the latte nearly toppling over as the picnic bench wasn't quite level. The milk for my tea came in a tea cup which makes it difficult to pour without spilling it. As we weren't given any napkins I had to wipe spillages up with a tissue. Throughout our time there we were subjected to the sound of chairs noisily being slammed on top of the table as they closed more and more tables. Two parties of four left bemused without buying anything at 3:15 because they were told there were no tables available. There were plenty of tables available and the cafe is advertised as being open until 4. The cakes were nice, but the staff don't seem to like customers. We won't be returning. It's a real shame. We like the garden centre that it's attached to and like a coffee and a cake when we're out so we're probably just go to a different garden centre instead.
