We visited a local restaurant and were promptly seated. However, the staff member then walked away. It took about 30 minutes for someone to come and ask if we wanted drinks, despite the place being quite empty on that early Wednesday evening. There were a couple of patrons at the bar, and although I considered approaching them, my partner advised against it. Eventually, a waitress came over to take our food order without any apology. My meal was decent, but the black pudding was a small, tasteless piece with a rubbery texture. When I asked the waitress to check with the chef, she just smiled. I requested some English mustard, and a vintage plastic squeeze bottle arrived, with the “American” mustard being nearly solid. The lid fell into my plate, releasing some old mustard that probably hadn’t been used in years. After finishing our meals, I went to the restroom, which required a long walk upstairs. I had asked my partner to order another beer while she got dessert. When I returned, there was still no beer. The dessert arrived, but still no beer. After my partner finished her dessert, we requested the bill. I mentioned the mustard issue to the same waitress, who offered a nervous smile. I then pointed out that the beer, which was still on her tablet, hadn’t been ordered. Another nervous smile followed, and we paid and left. Throughout the visit, we remained polite and didn’t cause any fuss. Restaurants like this aren’t expensive, yet customers expect courteous service and decent food.
