"We went in for Sunday lunch and decided to have the carvery. They'd only just opened so there were plenty of tables available and we were told to choose any available table before ordering. We ordered the carverys and beers and then took our tokens through to where the carvery was being served. A pleasant young man expertly carved the meat and we helped ourselves to the veg. We asked where we'd find cutlery, and we were told that it would be brought to our table. No cutlery was at our table when we returned with our plate of hot food, so I went in search of some. I found some near the coffee machine and we started eating our meal. At least 5 minutes later, a waitress brought us some cutlery, and she looked surprised that we'd started eating. She asked us to lift our plates off the table so she could put some place mats under them. In the process, she managed to knock my wife's half pint of bitter all over the table and my leg. Nice. She did apologise though, and replaced the spilled drink without question. Two ladies had come in after us and ordered the same carvery. They too sat down with their plates of hot food and no sign of cutlery. When the waitress was asked for some, she again asked them to lift their plates so she could put place mats down. My concern with this is that having people lift their plates while the waitress tries to slide place mats in between multiple drinks, seems like a needlessly risky process. And for what? The tables don't look like they need protecting, and we certainly weren't asking for them. And if they ARE necessary, why not place them on the table, WITH cutlery, immediately after the food has been ordered? In the end, it was a reasonably pleasant meal, marred by having to find our own cutlery, some clumsy table serving and an unnecessary requirement for place mats."
