verified email - 24 Apr 2014

We decided to have a catch up here with a few other mums after we had heard it had been renovated & changed owners. I had come here years ago & they have a lot of space outside - good for kids to rum around...used to have a cubby house & toys inside...and the cakes + scones were delicious!

It didn't start off well...they are only open 3 days a week, so I left a message to make booking...was no call back to confirm ok. Turn up on time, lady wasn't overly friendly said table was outside, didn't take me outside to point out which one..go out, no table set up for us, so push a few together to make enough room.

She brings out menus + water, all good. Menu for morning tea not very substantial, no scones, nothing really for kids, and limited cakes (was 3 or 4 choices I think) So we all go to order...no problems, prices are ok.

There was only 4 mums + 2 kids & it took ages (we were the only ones there!) to get everything, coffees were luke warm at best, cake was nice, and one lady was still waiting for her coffee after we had all finished everything....

Service was very poor & she didn't give the impression she was happy to be there!
Not much for little kids to do outside now, cubby was gone, few games to play like quoits that kept them happy for a while.
We wont hurry back I'm afraid...could be a real little gem - so much potential..
