Utterly feral............
Had dinner here with my wife, mil and 3 children. We picked it because it was close to where we were staying and because it looked good for kids.
We ordered some drinks at the bar, then ordered our meals. There is a play area for kids that two of ours (5 & 7) went into and were having a lot of fun.
There was a large group a few tables behind us 30+ adults and kids. They adults sat at the table while their children ran riot throughout the place. To the point where we removed our children from the play area because it was not safe. The children were throwing and kicking balls around. The staff attempted to stop them, but unless the parents also step in, it is difficult for a staff member to stop a child doing anything, but at least they tried.
After 45min of waiting for our meal we asked if it would be much longer. Once we confirmed what we ordered the staff member told us the order had put our order on the wrong check and they would need to redo it. We offered us a free drinks to compensate. Given we had already waited and had three hungry and increasingly grumpy kids to feed, we decided to wait.
The children belonging to the large tables behind us continued to get more rowdy, spilling out of the playroom into the restaurant, without any intervention from the parents at all. The staff did try their best to avoid standing on them while bringing out food, which was nice. It very much appeared that this type of thing was a normal occurance
There was a complete absence of any management at all. The play area was unsafe with the number of kids in there and the activity going on. Our food, when it finally arrived was terrible. I.e. Fish and Chips was a frozen and reheated fish fillet with no chips.
Please do not eat here, there are plenty of other great choices in the area, where the food is much better and the clientele far less feral. read more
