On the first occasion we just had a cheese and ham toasty and were amused by the bossy lady behind the counter and the ‘cheesed off’ younger lady doing all the work. The food was fine and off we went. The following day back we went back, my husband had a toastie and I had a salad, which took forever to prepare and again we watched in amusement at the staff who obviously can’t work together. A young boy and his mother came in, must have been family members who walked behind the counter and helped themselves to pizza and whatever else they fancied or they may have just fancied eating the profits. Just for a laugh we went back the 3rd day just to see if relationships had improved. Oh my word it hadn’t, the younger lady just scowled st everyone, the bossy lady went and hid behind the wall, a man came out from behind the wall and took over the preparation. We had our snack, but then it took for ever to pay, eventually I just left €10 on the counter and walked out saying never again. In all fairness, there was nothing wrong with the food they provided, the cakes were all homemade and looked delicious but they need Gordon Ramsey in there to sort out their staff personalities.
