The food was good. In fact excellent, I had a couple of cakes and coffee. The table service was great. The hosting was the letdown. I was spoken to in an impatient way, because I wasn’t sure how it worked given that I wasn’t here for a sitdown meal, I was here to grab a couple of snacks out of the pantry and have a coffee. Just the impatient, high pitched “yeah yeah yeah someone will help you! yeah yeah yeah take a seat! yeah yeah there’s your table!” tone by the hosts. After I had selected my cakes, I couldn’t remember which was my table, and that led to the inpatient redirection, for example.

I’m a woman of colour who came in with my friend’s little African child, so I’m sadly used to being treated this way by certain people, and that was disappointing. Once you spend the money and clearly a normal member of society, the attitude shifts, but I shouldn’t have to earn that. Should be default.

I would like to come back, but I’m going to be honest about my experience here.
