"First visit stopped off for a tea at the end of a 10 mile walk along the Manifold Trail. As you walk in there is basically one long table down the left hand side and two rows of tables down the right. The table on the left appeared to be occupied by some locals and, as we would later find out, staff, whilst of the 6 ? tables down the right one was occupied, 4 had dishes and trays on them which had not been cleared, and one was clear, clean and empty where we sat . I notice an earlier comment about a member of staff playing with her nails, and whilst there was no evidence of that, the place just didn 't seem to have that spark, that cleanliness, that marks out a place where you 'd really want to return to from an average place where you wouldn 't go out of your way to return. A couple of previous reviewers have done 'then and now ' type reviews people who clearly visited under a previous owner but as a first time visitor all I 'd say is: you 've got a fantastic venue at the end of a popular walking and cycle route first impressions count, so you need to make sure that tables are kept clean. There 's really no excuse for tables having trays of old food on them for 15 20 minutes when there are customers coming in and, as we found out, one member of staff had been sitting down and chatting to locals on the long table whilst all this had been going on."
