点评:Lovely setting and excellent food, all totally let down by exceedingly poor service. Our party of five sat down to a meal in The Barn restaurant and right from the word go, service was slow and disinterested. The options for a side dish with the burger were fries, roasted veg or salad. I asked our server what sort of vegetables they were and she simply said "mixed vegetables". When pressed to know exactly what was in the mixture, she told me there was broccoli and cucumber. I expressed my disbelief that anyone would roast a cucumber but she just looked rather confused. I decided to play it safe and stick to chips as we all know what those are. One of our party of five was then served her meal but the other four orders took so long , that our companion was almost finished eating and I had to get up and enquire as to the whereabouts of the other meals. Service was very unfriendly and cannot really be called service at all. We then waited and waited and waited and waited for a bill. All this in a restaurant that was almost empty...only about three occupied tables! I dread to think of a busy day. Given that it is not cheap to eat out and this was certainly no bargain meal, the whole experience was just a let down, which is a real pity because the food really is excellent. Portion sizes are good, food quality is excellent and the location is just so pretty, but would I recommend or return? Never! All the serving staff are very mediocre and unprofessional but our server has to have been one of the worst. The only saving grace is the chef and the wonderful smiling security guard in the car park...he was a breath of fresh air.
翻译:环境优美,食物美味,但服务却非常差,完全让人失望。我们一行五人在 The Barn 餐厅用餐,从一开始,服务就很慢,而且很冷漠。汉堡的配菜有薯条、烤蔬菜或沙拉。我问服务员是什么蔬菜,她只是说“混合蔬菜”。当我问她混合的蔬菜里到底是什么时,她告诉我有西兰花和黄瓜。我表示不相信有人会烤黄瓜,但她看起来有点困惑。我决定稳妥行事,只吃薯条,因为我们都知道薯条是什么。我们一行五人中的一个人随后得到了她的餐点,但其他四个订单花了很长时间,我们的同伴几乎吃完了,我不得不起身询问其他餐点在哪里。服务非常不友好,根本不能称之为服务。然后我们等了又等,等了又等,等了又等,才拿到账单。这一切都发生在一家几乎空无一人的餐厅里……只有大约三张桌子有人!我害怕想象忙碌的一天。考虑到外出就餐并不便宜,这绝对不是一顿便宜的饭,整个体验令人失望,这真的很遗憾,因为食物真的很好吃。份量不错,食物质量很好,位置也很漂亮,但我会推荐或再来吗?永远不会!所有的服务人员都很平庸和不专业,但我们的服务员一定是最差的。唯一的救命稻草是厨师和停车场里面带微笑的保安……他让人耳目一新。
