It's always a pleasure to meet friends after work, and do you know that the only cafe venue we could find open was M&S Kitchen (there was S**r*ucks but that doesn't count)! Seems you can be in town after 5 but not if you want a cup of tea. The Kitchen setting is nice, well spaced tables and chairs, light and bright decor, and it goes without saying that the selection of cakes is second to none.
We blithely ignored the 'wait here to be seated' notice and installed ourselves at a table near the counter. It seemed natural to go to the counter to choose and order, but we were told it was table service and so sat back and waited. It was a slightly long wait, in fact the whole thing was a bit clunky, involving the poor waitress going back and forward several times to take each order individually, take payment, bring the food. Surely the place doesn't operate like this at busy times?
But such niggles are banished by good company and huge slices of Victoria Sandwich. Hurrah for both and hurrah for M&S!
