点评:Our visit was a Garden Club excursion of 42 Senior members. We all found the staff on entry, at the cafe and in the gardens very friendly and helpful. There was free admission for Seniors in October which we were not made aware of, but the venue refunded us with no problem. There were mixed reviews from the members with regards to the gardens. While there were some interesting and pretty plants the overall feeling was that the gardens looked "tired" and some sections "neglected". The cafe was simply a disaster. They were understaffed and they were aware that a bus load of people were coming (2 bus loads actually turned up) on that day and there wasn't enough food on offer and the menu was very limited (no sandwiches). None of the tables were cleared up after the meals and some of the visitors cleared up all the tables so that other people could use them. "Disaster" aptly describes the Garden Cafe. We spent 4 hours there which was 1 to 2 hours too long.
翻译:我们这次参观是花园俱乐部42位老年会员的一次短途旅行。我们都觉得入口处、咖啡馆和花园里的工作人员都非常友好和乐于助人。十月份老年人可以免费入场,我们当时并不知道,但场地方面毫无问题地退了款。会员们对花园的评价褒贬不一。虽然有一些有趣又漂亮的植物,但总体感觉花园看起来“陈旧”,有些区域“被忽视了”。咖啡馆简直是一场灾难。他们人手不足,而且他们知道那天会有满满一车人来(实际上来了两车),但提供的食物却不够,菜单也非常有限(没有三明治)。餐后没有一张桌子被清理干净,有些游客把所有桌子都收拾干净,好让其他人使用。“灾难”这个词恰如其分地描述了花园咖啡馆。我们在那里待了4个小时,比预期多待了一到两个小时。
