"Person on the phone refused to answer and told me to look on the website."
"I wasn’t allowed to speak to anyone despite explaining my question wasn’t answered on the website."
"We were so disappointed and surprised to get the standard, cut-and-paste response to our requests to be able to perhaps go another day."
"Not long after and without any prior notice we were told that they were closing and the Hostess practically took the seat cushions from under us and we were made to feel that we had to finish our drinks straight away."

"Their was hardly any hot food and there wasn't a choice of cheeses in the mixed slithers."
"More crackers should also be available."
"Did find the cheese rather expensive for the price."
