What is going on with Duck Egg lately?? I've been going since it opened and eaten there loads and loads of times. The service has always been questionable - but the last time I went in there I had to wait ages, got a luke warm breakfast (bubble and squeak) which was the first time I hadn't enjoyed what I'd been served, pretty disappointed.

Not to be put off I went back today and as I was by myself, asked for a table for one. Ignoring all the nicely placed empty tables, they suggested I sit on a table shoved in the corner facing away from the rest of the customers, looking at their fridge!!! I asked to sit at one of the multiple empty tables (some for two which I find an acceptable request). And was told that they were 'saving' all these tables for customers of more than one as they had queues out the door last week.

It was half empty!!

I walked out -- after being a loyal customer for years I'm pretty shocked!!! Eating alone is something I enjoy but it's also quite an effort for some people. You shouldn't be shoved in a corner just because you are a party of one.

You already posted this 10 mins earlier on the duck egg cafe thread, so why the need for another, separate, ADDITIONAL thread ?!

The information's already been put out there, right ?

Is it a vendetta now ?

I had to ask for the mustard three, yes THREE, times yesterday in a local cafe.

But feck it, I think the place should still be allowed to continue trading. Even though they completely ruined my day (if not, week).

Mmmmph. No reason not to air a grievance widely. And not all who might be interested visit all fora. So -- KK, simmer down.

How do you manage to be a loyal customer for years when it hasn't been open for years?
