"I was notified 2 hours before arriving that if my group were to exceed 8 people, the company policy requires a minimum spend pP of 45 pounds. This was not indicated on the website where I booked. There was no way I was going to ask my guests (exceeding 8 after half an hour because other friends were brought along, as it often happens for birthday celebrations) for this with such short notice. It was impossible to find a solution with the manager where this rule would not apply. We ended up having to leave after 1 hour, resulting in the bistro missing out on the drinks and food 11 people would have ordered. Kind of a shame, given that it is nicely designed and has a good ambiente. Imo, the manager should have been flexible and handled this differently, allowing us to stay. In all fairness, we enjoyed a couple of pints in the hour we stayed!"
