The surprise was twofold: the good weather failed to materialise and we had a busy lunchtime.
Two members of the coach party came in early. They had their tea. their soup, their sandwiches. Two more arrived. They had their coffee, their soup, their sandwiches (this is going well, I thought). Unusually we'd made two seasonal soups: parsnip & apple and cream of spicy cauliflower. Both delicious. But I wish I hadn't bothered to give a choice. The problem was that 95% of the coach party wanted the first one. Which meant we ran out. So the people we served last got the raw end of the deal - we served them last and they didn't have a soup choice.
With one particular table this didn't go down well.
Still, the organiser (who DID get her choice of soup. Yes. Parsnip & Apple) was very happy.
