Very dissapointing wine and cheese tasting …
We booked a cheese and wine tasting for the 11 November for four of us at £75 a head . Very disappointing evening . The shop is beautiful we given a glass of bubbly to start with . We were then taken into the cheese room which is chilled and stayed there for at least 90 mins. The guide was knowledgeable but very softly spoken . With a large group of about 20 it was very difficult to hear the explanations . The guide was cutting the cheese by hand so it took forever. I work as a London blue badge tourist guide , guides need to project their voice or use a whispers or vox system. Half of the group were offered a second glass of bubbly the rest of us were ignored despite two of us asking for a refill.
When we finally sat down the platters took forever to arrive which could of been prepared before. The staff had no charisma friendliness or charm. My friend got his platter a good 15 mins after everybody else . Once the two staff had served us they dissapeared into the cheese room. No drinks were recharged and no thank you when we left . You really need to rethink this whole evening . I will definitely not be recommending your tour to my American guests this was shoddy hospitality!
