Lovely brunch spoiled by our own naivety & lack of knowledge, experience & or professional. We had a itison voucher & had booked the table no problem through open table. When we arrived we had a warm welcome & asked for our name. The young waitress recognised the name & escorted us to our table. We did not wait long when asked for drinks & our food order. The food was very good & we just had our one drink. When we went to settle our bill, our assumption was no money required as the voucher was for a burger, fries & onion rings to share with wine or beer. As we only had 1 beer & 1 wine we thought it would be a simple transaction….but oh no. It should have been a glass of house wine & only certain beers. So we were charged circa £13.50 for our two drinks. I let the young lady know my feelings but paid up & left. In reality we should have sat back down & said bring us our drinks covered by the voucher & the onion rings that they did not being. An unpleasant end to what should have been a lovely afternoon 😟😟😟
