They were sat directly behind us for 2 hours and behaved like disgusting drunken football hooligans/louts throughout the entire time! At no point did any of the staff attempt to cool this behaviour down and the staff became stroppy when I asked them to deal with the issue! This is not a football café or a pub! The staff was grossly unprofessional in letting this happen and I told them so! This was not a little bit of Xmas high jinx, it was constant loud shouting, screaming, banging on tables etc...for a solid two hours and the staff did nothing! ruined our meal, which wasn't cheap either! Made worse by rude staff attitude when I complained so very unprofessional! Will never go back here and would not recommend it either! pfft!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11797623129202764406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4620769829682448740.post-1625455264271313272011-09-01T20:09:21.588+01:002011-09-01T20:09:21.588+01:00@ Francesca - interestingly I thought the food was...@ Francesca - interestingly I thought the food was a little patchy but was rather taken by the decor.<br /><br />@ Federilli - or maybe not Federilli, if you read between the lines...Luiz Harahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15625648237398242154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4620769829682448740.post-13697770132453527572011-08-30T21:24:23.278+01:002011-08-30T21:24:23.278+01:00The location is great...
