点评:I found this place by accident a few years ago and absolutely loved it. So on a recent trip to Mid Wales , feeling hungry , I told my son we would detour out of our way especially to have lunch there as it had special memories for me.
Well, the layout of the place has changed ( previously the cafe was set within a different barn and incorporated with a small art gallery) but that wasn’t a problem .
We ordered our lunch - the lady serving seemed slightly harassed even though it was only relatively busy.
My hot chocolate was served - a very , powedery hot chocolate of very poor quality
Giving allowances , we waited and waited and after 45 minutes I went back in to enquire about our food, and saw the staff chatting with nothing to do.
In short , they had completely forgotten about our order even though they’d walked past us about 10 times serving others and must have seen us sitting there with nothing .
By then we had to leave , I wasn’t charged for the hot chocolate.
Needless to say we were left very hungry , had lost an hour on our journey and had to get a stale sandwich in a petrol station instead .
They say you should never return to a place that once seemed magical - this ruined my memory of the place and we won’t be back.
翻译:几年前我偶然发现了这个地方,非常喜欢它。所以在最近一次去威尔士中部的旅行中,我饿了,我告诉我的儿子我们要绕道去那里吃午饭,因为它给我留下了特别的回忆。
好吧,这个地方的布局已经改变了(以前咖啡馆位于另一个谷仓内,并设有一个小型艺术画廊),但这不是问题。
我们点了午餐——服务员似乎有点烦躁,尽管只是相对繁忙。
我的热巧克力被端上了——一种非常粉状的热巧克力,质量很差
考虑到津贴,我们等了又等,45 分钟后我回去询问我们的食物,看到工作人员在聊天,无事可做。
简而言之,他们完全忘记了我们的订单,尽管他们走过我们身边大约 10 次为其他人服务,一定看到我们坐在那里什么都没有。
到那时我们不得不离开,我没有支付热巧克力的费用。
不用说,我们离开时非常饥饿,在旅途中浪费了一个小时,不得不在加油站买一个不新鲜的三明治。
他们说你永远不应该回到一个曾经看起来很神奇的地方——这毁了我对这个地方的记忆,我们不会再回来了。
