We love our customers and visitors over the summer holidays and appreciate your support in these challenging times 🫶🏼

With all this being said a friendly reminder to everyone at this time;

As we are coming up on the Christmas and holiday season, this is your annual reminder to be nice to hospitality employees, even when they get it wrong.

Working countless hours, eating on your feet, missing out on festivities with friends and family, and wearing yourself thin are things all hospitality workers will be familiar with over the next couple of months.

So, if they do get it wrong, and your coffee comes with the wrong syrup.. or they forget to swap your salad for chips, or, God forbid, you order no ice .. and your drink comes with ice, remember how hard they’re working to try and make your experience special.

Be nice. It costs nothing.
