Suffice to say after 1 hour 20 minute wait for my food and then being basically called a liar by the new owner, I wont be returning! <br /><br />On the food front, some of the ciabatta (my favourite) was stale and the sausages seem to have changed as they tasted gritty. So disappointing.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04028195748155013335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1190068840984601731.post-5073686168835553862015-07-27T16:35:03.688+01:002015-07-27T16:35:03.688+01:00Your comment about Bentalls really took me back to...Your comment about Bentalls really took me back too...the Silver Cafe and an ice cream in a silver dish...this would have been an immense treat in the lat 50s.

I think generous salted butter on that ciabatta really nailed it. Though whilst sat here, I have seen the feckless staff turn more business away than sense - tip: ask the female staff for things, approach the male staff as you would a highland cow; expect little sensible response.
