Went to Swallownest Elmwood today.
Waited for around 10 minutes for a drink. Saw the manager and quite a number of staff flitting around. Asked the manager if anyone was going to be serving at the bar today. She replied that she had a low level of staff today (Valentine's Day). I said well we have been waiting a while to be served and several people got fed up of waiting and just walked out.
Eventually we were served. Went a little while later for another drink, was charged for two drinks, was only given one! Eventually saw another member of staff, who finally gave us the remainder of our drinks order.
When we went to eat, we were told we could only eat in the far end of the restaurant, where the children's screaming area is, as all other tables were reserved (we were told by another customer, they had been setting the reserved tables up for 3 hours).
We eventually got a dirty table that we cleaned ourselves and ordered our food. Thankfully there were no issues with that.
Not normally someone who writes negative reviews, but I think they truly deserve a mention.
Please go here if you wish to dehydrate and waste your life waiting for bar staff who would rather faff around, than serve the customers who pay their wages!
