"Last weekend for the first time dropped into the Cafe for tea for him and coffee for her, and a cake which was very good. The decor and ambience pleasant and well thought out, staff wecoming and efficient.This sunny morning we decided to drive there for breakfast, having seen what was available on the menu which looked tasty.We both ordered the Full On breakfast, mine with an addition of an extra egg instead of potatoes, plus some black pudding, which was readily accepted for me.The breakfasts duly arrived as ordered, but the toast looked rather odd, a light brown bread with grains in it. My wife likes brown bread, I am a fresh crusty white myself (the bread not me) After a few minutes the waitress passed by and asked if everything was as we liked it, I asked her if they had white bread, I felt from her expression I had said a rude word, she said sorry we don't, when asked why she didn't have an answwer other than we just dont but would pass on my request to the owner, which is as much as could be expected from her.The cafe is very vegan/gluten free orientated, which is fine, if there is a demand for it, and obviously there is then give them what they prefer.However, not having white bread does smack of the ownwers, or whoever decides what to order, preferences. Usually, in cafes and restaurants, toast, when ordered, is offered in either brown or white by the waitress at the time.Here the toast is a part of the breakfast, which I feel should not prevent brown or white being offered. To presume, and it is clear that seems to be thee case, that everyone who visits the cafe, surely must follow the latest fads of what is and what is not healthy for ones consumption.In that resperct, I have been eating fresh crusty loaves, often still warm, so the real butter which I prefer, melts on contact with it, for some 84 years now, surely a testimony of some sort to my diet, which includes full cream jersey milk with my morning porrige and in my multiple cups of tea daily. I continue to be very active, medication free, my correct weight etc. so please no more presumptions, instead please provide for all of your customers, so I may enjoy my next visit more fully, and with some marmalade please."
