We turned up for a reservation of six people for 11.30 breakfast at this venue. We ordered about 20 mins after arrival. We had to wait quite some time for our food, which I didn't mind too much. I accept they were busy and I was enjoying the company of my family. What annoyed me was having waited nearly half an hour for our food at this point, a waitress came and told us we would have to vacate our table in an hour because it was reserved for another booking. So we had ordered, not eaten and we were being told when we had to leave. We pointed out any potential hold up would be based on the arrival time of our food, which we hadn't queried at that time. It seemed unnecessary, to be quite honest. If we had eaten and were just hanging about, I'd accept it, but that wasn't the case. I couldn't fault the food, though. But if there are going to be delays try and keep customers informed and there's no need for "the hurry up" when customers haven't even eaten.

A late lunch at 'Abattoir Blues'...after a recommendation from a friend we decided to try this cafe, so glad we did...the food was delicious, the staff very pleasant and the venue very interesting! We would definitely recommend 'Abattoir Blues' and will have an 'early' lunch next time, so we can stay longer! Thank you.
