I ordered soup which was served lukewarm in a cardboard cup with a plastic teaspoon which seemed to be at odds with the ecological message of the tree display. The soup came with sliced bread and no butter. A dismal experience.

Seems to attract eccentrics like people who shout across the cafe to other diners and people who employ their phone on loud speaker thinking that this is acceptable for modern public interaction in britain.
