点评:Went to the Artisan Show at Arley Hall yesterday - it was a superb artisan market with really top notch makers and businesses. The gardens...as always... were beautiful and the garden nursery was well stocked with the most wonderful plants.
However, the cafe in the courtyard left a great deal to be desired and this soured our visit, I'm afraid. Whilst queuing for a cream tea we observed a lady return hers and ask to speak to the manager - the cream she had been given was past its use by date and when opened had green mould on it. Noticing the same date on ours ( and most of the tubs in the display) we asked for an exchange...the staff member said that they had been frozen and would be fine to eat but when we asked to speak to the manager she was 'unavailable' to see us. We asked for a full refund which the staff found difficult to do. This is not ok....stock control and review should be a daily task and ANY item that is past its use by date - particularly cream - should be disposed of there and then. It led us to wonder what else was being served in there that was past its date. I expected better.

然而,庭院里的咖啡馆有很多不足之处,恐怕这让我们的参观体验很不愉快。排队买奶茶的时候,我们看到一位女士把她的奶茶退了,并要求和经理谈话——她拿到的奶茶已经过期了,而且打开后上面还有绿色的霉斑。我们注意到我们的奶茶(以及展厅里大多数奶茶)上的日期都一样,于是要求换货……工作人员说奶茶已经冷冻了,可以食用,但当我们要求和经理谈话时,她却“没空”接待我们。我们要求全额退款,但工作人员却很难做到。这可不行……库存管理和检查应该成为日常工作,任何过期的商品——尤其是奶油——都应该当场处理掉。这让我们不禁好奇,里面还有什么过期的商品。我本来以为会更好。
