On the way to the restaurant Ben fell asleep in his buggy which we were pleased about as we figured he would have a nice little nap and we would get to enjoy our special anniversary meal in peace. This was not to be the case though.
As soon as we arrived our bubble was quickly burst by the snooty hostess who informed us that we could not bring the buggy into the restaurant. I could not believe what I was hearing and explained it was our anniversary, pointed to the ample space available alongside the free tables but to no avail. Apparently this restaurant has a "health and safety" policy which does not allow a buggy inside their door. Ridiculous. The farcical thing is we could have brought a highchair which would have taken up far more space than our little lightweight buggy - where is the logic in that?
So parents beware if you are considering going for a meal in Charlotte's Place, don't it is not family friendly. My advice is to avoid at all costs unless you want to feel like a second class citizen by their snobbish staff. Thanks Charlotte's Place for ruining our wedding anniversary.
