The best restaurants serving Other european-cuisines food in Brereton Rural Cheshire East North West

On arrival I asked if a table was available for two people, “ have you booked ?” I replied I would not be asking if you had a table available if I had booked. After the receptionist spent a considerable time searching through various screens on her desktop we were eventually shown to our table. Drinks orders duly taken and arrived shortly. We waited for our meal order to be taken and waited and waited eventually a young lady arrived and took our meal order and again this was delivered after a wait. The food was very tasty well presented and the staff very pleasant and polite but painfully slow, why ? During our meal there must have been at least 40 tables vacant during the time we were there so what was all the looking and searching for an available table for. No offer to see if more drinks were required and no offer of a sweet menu ( management due to lack of training are missing out here). On paying my bill a staff tip ie service charge of 7.5% was added and due to the poor service I declined. I assume the Bears Paw tip everyone who delivers to them or collects refuse or dray men I think not.
