Workshop 55

Appalling service. Seated in the empty gin bar (barring two other tables), two people in our group of 5 ordered tapas dishes. They were told they had to eat outside and that it was heated. When the food arrived after a 40 minute wait, we went outside to eat but realised "outside" was a closed veranda for smoking and unheated, despite 7 degree cold. We brought the four small dishes inside to be able to eat in normal conditions, the manager aggressively prevented this, resulting in a shouting match while the food went cold. He was extremely belligerent and made no effort to accommodate us despite an almost empty bar area. When we asked for a table in the restaurant area, he insisted on taking the food away whilst we had to wait another long while to be seated. Finally, when the bill arrived, it emerged that we had been charged for doubles whilst singles were requested. Dishonest, agressive staff. Avoid this place if you are looking for a pleasant evening out.
