"We arrived bank holiday Monday at 13.10. There were some free tables outside (dirty) and it was clear that the staff had had a very busy morning. The outside area was really pretty and I really liked the feel of the space. There were dog water bowls and a box of dog treats and all the guests seemed to be very happy. We sat down before going inside to ask for a menu. I was instructed that they were not serving lunch only breakfast. Fair enough. I ordered inside a few minutes later. This was slightly painful with a member of staff calling out for a colleague to assist him as he was busy. Again, fair enough. After sitting back down, the same member of staff came over a few minutes later to tell me that they were no longer serving food. I commented that he had just charged me £29 for food. I was slightly baffled as he hadn’t told me this a few minutes before. He apologised to me and asked me if I had paid to which I replied yes. He then moved over to another table and told them that they were out of key ingredients for food and so couldn’t serve them. I appreciate it must’ve been a busier day than anticipated so they were running out of food perhaps? More people sat themselves down outside. Got menus. Got comfortable. Went inside to order and then were disappointed to be told that the venue was not serving food after 13.30. I would have personally liked to see a member of staff approaching these potential customers rather than allowing them sit and settle. It also baffled me that a venue that regularly serves lunch and is open some evenings would close on a potentially busy bank holiday with lots of foot fall. But I’m sure they have their valid reasons. However, I believe we saw at least 5 groups be turned away in 30 minutes. It was especially awkward when said groups would stare at us and another table eating! Our food arrived. In fairness it was delicious. We both ordered the full breakfasts. The sausages and bacon were great quality and the toasted sourdough was incredible. The beans could have used a little less time in the microwave or some water as they were dried out but no complaints. I was very impressed. No napkins were put down with the food so we had to go inside to ask for these but I believe the staff were getting ready to close. By the end of our experience there was only one table left inside. After they had left and our plates had been cleared I heard the front door slam and looked up to see it closed. I couldn’t help but giggle at this not to subtle sign of closure which did kind of sum up my experience. Overall the food was very tasty and the feel of the restaurant is lovely but I did feel slightly uncomfortable. This would not stop me from visiting again if I was ever in the area."
