"I was impressed (as a Coeliac) to see there were tongs for cakes etc, labelled as gluten free tongs. The choice of gluten free cakes unwrapped and wrapped was good. Because of the gluten free tongs I felt safe having the unwrapped cake slices. However, the waitress who brought our tray put it on our table quite forcefully, did not make eye contact with us and did not utter a word to us. We were so taken aback. As she walked away my friend called out thank you but we received no response. Neither my friend nor I have ever experienced anything like this before. Even in the busiest of places (and this wasn't busy) you always get a comment such as here is your tray or hope you enjoy. The other waiting staff engaged with the people on tables they took trays to. Maybe this girl didn't like serving tables and doesn't like the public much. My suggestion is that she may be happier and more comfortable doing something different, maybe in the kitchen. We are hoping she didn't mean to be rude but just may have felt uncomfortable. We joined the Diamond Club and received an email invitation to comment/make suggestions about the garden centre and cafe. I reviewed both my review of the cafe (this one) was ignored but they were pleased I had enjoyed the garden centre. I was hoping they'd show some concern that their waitress came across rude since they'd invited the opportunity to hear about our experience."
