Platta Cafe Bar Bistro

I went to Platta for a drink and something to eat with friends today. We all have little ones, and every time I have been before, I’ve always felt welcome to have my child present. Platta has always seemed on the ‘pricey’ side, but the reception and feel of luxury and comfort had seemed worth it for a treat. What a shame that my experience today left a lot to be desired. Firstly, the menu seems to have shrunk in terms of options, and the prices have rocketed. Myself and one of my friends felt it necessary to order from the children’s menu, as the prices of anything on the main menu were out of our range. In all fairness, the child’s portion sizes were spot on for us - we certainly weren’t left hungry. It was pretty shocking that one of the staff felt it necessary to come and collect several plates and cups from our table before we’d all even finished - without so much as checking in. Next, the staff member brought our bill to us, completely unrequested. My friend was only halfway through her drink at this point, but she felt too uncomfortable to finish it. There was no notification that the table was required, and the place itself wasn’t busy at all. As mothers of young children, it is usually a real treat for us to go for lunch or a coffee. This time, we were made to feel shoved out and as though we had outstayed our welcome. Another one of my friends had reported a terrible experience recently at Platta, but I decided to overlook their advice and give it another chance. However, this has assured me that the essence of the place has changed to a point where I no longer desire to return.

Lovely Latte and hot cross bun!!

Lovely breakfast, parking was easy and the service was good friends had garlic mushrooms on toast and I had the full breakfast overall very happy
