点评:Was keen to revisit as have been regular visitors in the past and were sad to see the cafe standards deteriorating. Had high hopes with the revamped seating and two serving tills but.... oh dear, there was no wait on food when I ordered. Just as I was leaving the till area, they put a notice out to say a 30 min wait on food despite the cafe being only 1/3rd full. We only started to mind when, after 45 minutes we noticed other tables who ordered well after us were getting their food. When I enquired, I was advised that our order would take more time if it was complex dishes! We had two jacket potatoes and a bowl of chips! When I explained that others with the same food had got their order, I was told very sharply "well, we're busy and it's a 45 minute wait now". No comprehension that we'd already waited beyond that time at this stage. Absolutely no apology for the wait, just a shrug of the shoulders by the lady who was a previous staff member and has always been a bit short with customers.
I think we'll wait a while before we return and hope that, with the new kitchens and some staff training, service will be much improved and more alike their Launceston store.
翻译:和过去的常客一样,我很想再次光临,但看到咖啡馆的标准越来越差,我感到很难过。对重新装修的座位和两个收银台寄予厚望,但是……天哪,我点餐时无需等待。就在我离开收银台时,他们贴出一张通知,说上菜需要等待 30 分钟,尽管咖啡馆只有三分之一满。45 分钟后,我们注意到其他桌的点餐时间比我们晚,但他们也开始上菜了,我们这才开始介意。当我询问时,他们告诉我,如果是复杂的菜肴,我们的订单需要更多时间!我们点了两个烤土豆和一碗薯条!当我解释说其他点了同样食物的人已经上菜时,他们非常严厉地告诉我:“嗯,我们很忙,现在需要等 45 分钟”。完全没有理解我们此时已经等了超过 45 分钟。他们完全没有为等待道歉,只是耸了耸肩,之前那位女士是我们的工作人员,对顾客总是有点不耐烦。
我想我们会等一段时间再来,希望随着新厨房和一些员工培训的到来,服务会大大改善,更像他们在朗塞斯顿的店。
