Hi folks, hope you’ve had a good week. We’ve made it to Friday and half term!
It has been a tricky week for our restaurant team who have been very busy (thank you) but have a few *tricky* customers, so I’ve resorted to a note, Bridgerton style in order that I don’t sound like I am having too much of a moan!
Dearest gentle reader,
It is the beginning of half term and the weather is wet and blustery which can lead to some of us feeling frustrated and more than a little discombobulated.
One has however been left feeling a little dismayed when upon checking in to see how today has progressed, there have been several instances where our normally wonderful customers could have been rather kinder when interacting with the fabulous restaurant and shop team.
When visiting the restaurant, please bear in mind that we do have bookings to factor in so whilst it may seem that several tables are available it may well be that they are already spoken for.
Please do not simply seat yourselves else we may have to ask you to move which is less than ideal. You also run the risk that if you do seat yourself that we will not see you - you may feel that you have been left unattended, languishing, hungry, desolate and unloved but this is not the case. Unfortunately we are not yet psychic so it is essential to ensure that you communicate with our team when you arrive in order that we can find you a suitable table for the size of your party.
Remember that kindness costs nothing, a smile can really change someone’s day for the better, and you’re never TOO important to be nice to people.
Many thanks as always,
Rebecca (aka Lady Moosledown)
