This rookie mistake meant that we would have to eat cold food for the next 2/3 days, which was a devastating realization. I needed to find a restaurant where we could enjoy a hot meal.

We decided to order the veggie burger with fries, which was delicious with its sauce and pickles, as well as the salmon and guacamole tacos - three of them with plenty of dips.

HOWEVER the wheelchair access was rediculous, the man at the bar was very rude and spoke down to us as I was taking my gran (in a wheelchair) to the toilet she forgot her mask outside and he was raising his voice to us saying “it will be you that gets charged £1000 not us” I explained it was a MISTAKE that everyone does! He changed his tone after I changed mine. Absolutely rediculous the way he spoke down to us. One of the lovely waitresses asked my gran if she would like her to get her a mask. But the man behind the bar expected me to go all the way back outside when I struggled even getting her though the doorways. There was just no need for the attitude and the rudeness he spoke to her over a mistake. People will forget things, he will make mistakes in his life. Don’t jump down someone’s throat.
