点评:The House was lovely, although overpriced to see only 4 or 5 rooms. The room guides were lovely too - very informative and friendly. The gardens too were great.
But the visit was spoiled by an underwhelming catering experience. First of all, the Stables cafe was not serving until half an hour after the gates opened. “Please come back in 15 minutes - we are not ready yet”.
Then, the restaurant turned us away for lunch at 12 noon, saying “we are at capacity and are not allowing anyone else in, try again in an hour”. This was despite only half the tables being occupied. We then asked to make a reservation for later and were told “we don’t take reservations, just try again in an hour”.
I understand that they want to avoid long waits after customers are seated but this feels like it needs some serious leadership improvement so that they can operate at full capacity.
I now realise that I should have read the reviews for Sandringham Restaurant elsewhere on Trip Advisor and then I would have known what to expect. What worries me is that the management are not reading the reviews either.
翻译:房子很漂亮,虽然只参观四五个房间价格有点高。房间导游也很热情,信息丰富,而且很友好。花园也很棒。
但这次参观被糟糕的餐饮体验破坏了。首先,Stables 咖啡馆在大门打开半小时后才开始营业。“请15分钟后再来——我们还没准备好。”
然后,餐厅在中午12点拒绝了我们,说“我们已经满员了,不允许其他人进来,请一小时后再来”。尽管只有一半的桌子有人,他们还是拒绝了我们。之后我们要求预订稍后的座位,却被告知“我们不接受预订,请一小时后再来。”
我理解他们想避免顾客入座后长时间等待,但这感觉需要认真改进领导层,才能让他们满负荷运转。
我现在意识到我应该在TripAdvisor上看看Sandringham餐厅的评论,这样我就能知道会发生什么了。让我担心的是,管理层也不看评论。
