点评:Gardens are great, like most Cornish gardens at their best in spring.
But the National Trust run cafe is awful. we've been Trust members for many years and visited very many place but this is the worst cafe by a long way.
During our visit over 50% of the outdoor tables were empty but uncleared from previous visitors, the side table that visitors are requested to place trays after eating was piled high with trays containing dirty crockery and part eaten food.
Although we only had coffee and cake the next table complained about the wait for food, after a few minutes part of the food arrived with an apology that the remainder would be just a few minutes, shortly after another part of the order appeared but with the third apology that one item had in fact been sold to another customer, an alternative item was offered and some free drinks as a consolation.
During the entire period of our visit waiting on staff delivered food to visiting customers but went back inside empty handed.
It has to be said that most of the staff were very young but clearly badly trained, eventually a mature member of staff appeared and started to clear tables.
Within the National Trust this cafe is linked to that at Godolphin which in our opinion is much better run.
Come on National Trust get a grip when this cafe was run as a franchise it was run well, regretfully not now.

但是国民托管组织经营的咖啡馆很糟糕。我们加入托管组织很多年了,去过很多地方,但这家咖啡馆绝对是最差的。
在我们访问期间,超过50%的户外桌子都是空的,但之前的客人没有清理过。要求客人在用餐后放置托盘的边桌上堆满了托盘,托盘里装着脏兮兮的餐具和吃了一半的食物。
虽然我们只点了咖啡和蛋糕,但隔壁桌的人抱怨等菜太久。几分钟后,一部分菜来了,服务员道歉说剩下的菜只需几分钟。不久之后,另一部分菜来了,服务员第三次道歉说其中一种菜品实际上已经卖给了另一位顾客,服务员提供了另一种菜品和一些免费饮料作为安慰。
在我们访问期间,服务员一直在给来访的顾客送菜,但最后却空手而归。
不得不说,大多数员工都很年轻,但显然缺乏培训,最终一位经验丰富的员工出现了,开始清理桌子。
这家咖啡馆隶属于国民托管组织,与高多尔芬的那家咖啡馆是连锁店,我们认为后者经营得更好。
拜托,国民托管组织,管好自己吧,这家咖啡馆以前是特许经营的,经营得不错,可惜现在不行了。
