Good evening we have a table booked in the name of ...... for 6 people. Long pause, one moment please, cafufle, for 6people sir? Yes 6.
Now I know from a text from TB that there may have been a communication issue when booking, but booked it certainly was, so I'm expecting a donkey somewhere along the line, and as usual, like a donkey magnet I found him.
Finally, this way sir, and shows us to our table ......and he waits for us to sit down at the table, which we don't, ho looks at us, we look at him.....that's a table for 4! I tell him. Yes sir. He says confidently. We booked a table for 6!I tell him for the third time, while staring directly at the table next to us set for 6 people. Oh oh so sorry sir, and he moves to pass us presumably to check the booking list again, I block his path and noting that there is only one six seater in the room I enquire, I wonder, could this be our table? Ooooh yyyyyes sir, certainly sir.
I mean ffs, there was us 3 and one other couple in the entire room.
We sit, drinks? Yes what lager do you have? Lager? He says, like it's some sort of potion. After a 30 second pause, carling? .......cobra?YES COBRA that's fine one large cobra please and white wine for the Lady. "Large" cobra sir? Oh just bring us a drink will you!!!!!!....and off he runs, disappearing for 10minutes at least.
On return he asks if we want popadoms, yes but when the rest of our party arrive, mean time could we have our drinks please?
getting stroppy now I am! Dribks finally arrive. Would you like popadoms ? ....looking round the table at 4 empty seats I fix him with my best padington bear and he leaves again.
Mr and Mrs TB arrive. We where early btw. Drinks sorted, would you like popadoms, we all politely decine again. Mr and Mrs Wood arrive, Kev asks what lager they have and he immediately directs Kev to the drinks menu as he still can't remember and the rest of us crack up discretely as I've told them the history. Drinks sorted again and off he trots.....er before you go,almost in unison"CAN WE HAVE SOME POPADOMS PLEASE" as he has clearly forgotten that we are a table for six and we now have six people
If it wasn't so funny towards the end we might have left for fear of poisoning or something.
Luckily other waiters arrived and the rest of the meal and service was very good. If a little mild.
