点评:We use Houghton Hall regularly for a stop and on our latest visit it was just a run out and some lunch on a miserable cold day, we joined the queue which was a fair length and seem to take for ever to be served I think in total 15 minutes we waited, after we ordered our food we were then told it would be a 20 minute wait which was acceptable but may I add that some people were leaving due to the wait, when we sat down twice we seen people complaining about their food and one person got food he didn’t order, I must state that it was very busy but obviously they were having trouble coping, eventually after 35 minutes our food arrived I ordered a battered fish gourmet ciabatta sandwich , it looked very nice but I could not get my teeth through it due to it being over toasted and resembling a brick either that or it had been sitting so long it just giving up life, my wife had a baked potato which she enjoyed, when I complained I was offered a free cake which I rejected , we then asked for a refund on my meal which I think was the only acceptable outcome as it was totally inedible because to be honest what i received was very poor and at the end of it all i ended up having no lunch as I certainly was not going to wait another near 40 mins.
翻译:我们经常去霍顿庄园 (Houghton Hall) 歇脚,最近一次去只是在寒冷的冬日里匆匆忙忙地吃个午饭。我们排了很长的队,感觉等了很久才轮到我们,总共等了15分钟。点完餐后,服务员告诉我们还要等20分钟,这倒也还能接受。不过,有些人因为等得太久而离开了。我们坐下两次,都看到有人抱怨食物,还有一个人拿到了自己没点的菜。餐厅当时确实很忙,但显然他们忙不过来。最后,等了35分钟,我们的菜终于上来了。我点了一份炸鱼恰巴塔三明治,看起来很诱人,但因为烤得太硬,像块砖头一样,根本咬不动。要么就是放太久,已经失去生机了。我妻子点了一份烤土豆,她很喜欢。我投诉之后,服务员提出送我一块蛋糕,但我拒绝了。然后我们要求退还我那份餐费,我觉得……唯一可以接受的结果就是它完全无法下咽,因为说实话,我收到的东西非常糟糕,最后我没吃午饭,因为我肯定不会再等将近 40 分钟了。
