I visited here at lunchtime today with 2 family members. The woman who was standing inside the door at the podium asked if we had booked, we said we hadn’t as we were just passing and decided on lunch. She looked around the restaurant as if she was searching for a table for us, despite only 3 tables being occupied! She never once said “good afternoon” or “how are you” The look on her face said it all as she couldn’t even manage a grin, never mind a smile. She took our drink order and went behind the bar to get it. Just then another 3 customers arrived, she hurried from behind the bar to take them to a table and promptly took their drinks order and served it to them while we, having been there at least 10 minutes before them, sat waiting on our drinks! As she served them their drinks she took out her order pad to take their food order, still ignoring us waiting on our drinks. That was enough ignorance for me and I suggested to my company we leave as it seemed like she didn’t want us there. We went elsewhere and spent £120 on food & drinks and were treated with respect. This woman definitely needs a lesson in how to treat paying customers, especially in todays economic climate, as people are making choices of where to spend their money. I have work in the hospitality business myself and visited the Stables many times over the years when Anne was the proprietor and was never treated with such disdain. I don’t live in the area anymore and thought it would be nice to visit a place which in the past was a pleasant experience. This woman is definitely not an asset to your business Smyth family, in fact quite the opposite!
