Visited on Thursday teatime (17/9/2015) for a quick bite to eat. No real gripes about the food at these prices, except that portion sizes have been cut down of late. However, as there's a drink included in the price, it's hard to complain. It is what it is for the price. My complaints relate to staff attitude, which I've encountered on previous visits and found to be a bit cocky and not particularly helpful. I must add that my experiences relate only to male staff.I asked at the bar for a wheat beer, only to be told by the young barman, rather dismissively, that he'd never heard of it (despite the fact that it's on the drinks menu). I explained that it was a bottled beer but he stared blankly and said "No, sorry. Is that it or do you want something else?" To cap it all, I ordered a glass of the house rose for my wife. She said it had a strange taste but as she'd been drinking a sweet soft drink prior to this, she put it down to her palate. I had a sip to taste, but as I'd been drinking a pint of beer (not wheat variety sadly!) I couldn't really tell if it was good or not. However, both of us were sick during the night, so I can only assume it was a tainted wine, as we'd eaten different food; therefore the glass of wine was the common factor. And, no we weren't drunk either!Final point relates to kids running around, whilst their couldn't-care-less parents enjoy their evening, because the kids are off annoying everybody else! Too common in this venue I'm afraid.Disappointing evening. and, whilst the wine issue could be forgiven as a one-off I would suggest that JD's management team pay a little attention to knocking the arrogance out of some of their younger male staff, whilst also training them a little more on product knowledge.
