[[Rowley Birkin QC]] visited on two weekday mornings in February 2019. It was fairly busy, with people coming and going for various periods of time. A few working on laptops (café urges laptop users to allow others to share table). Good WiFi (password is on sugar containers etc.; 20-40 Mbps down). |

[[Rowley Birkin QC]] reports: ''"I had poached eggs (£6) on toasted sourdough, and they were fine. However, something odd: when I ordered, I was directed to a particular table by a staff member. After finishing the food, I noticed there were egg fragments on the floor beneath my table, one or two tablespoons’ worth. I assumed I must have unwittingly dropped some of my poached eggs onto the floor, so when the staff member came through again I pointed it out, apologising for the mess. However, the staff member then said'' "oh no, it wasn’t you, it was already there." ''Now, this was the same staff member each time, so why had he told me to sit at a table where the floor was covered in food detritus? Other tables had been available. Anyway, I assume this was an aberration because the place looked clean and tidy otherwise."'' |
Child friendliness: children’s menu; at least one high chair.; several children present during half term week in February 2019; also mums with babies. Looks like a baby changing table in the toilet. |
