The British cafe experience is surely one of the most depressing ways to spend leisure time

Queues and queues of folk in beige all wanting 'three lattes, four hot chocolates and two cappucinos'. One feckless soul preparing it all, thus huge backlog.
Shuffle with tray and variety of horrid stainless steel jugs and teapots to checkout, with said items sliding all over the place, risking giving their degree burns to all and sundry.
Shuffle to filthy sticky table.
Pay through the nose for the experience.

Totally shit.
This was Dunham Massey (NT) last week. I avoid any sort of café generally but dd wanted something hot and said she was happy to wait.

God, it is so depressing. And why do British folk have such an extraordinary fondness for sticky milky drinks?
Bleurgh.

Lots of lovely cafes around here but I have to say a local pub is where I bring us (myself and baby) as it has great changing facilities, is quiet in the day, does a mean hot chocolote and lots of free papers to read.

Yabu because you clearly didn't come to my cafe/deli, we don't have Ques, backlog of drinks or sticky tables because we are well trained, work hard and have plenty of staff working each shift!

Sounds lovely Catflap. Tell us where it is and what it is called!
