We have been lots of times and always spent over £250. We have always been impressed with the friendly staff and ability to taste all of the wines. But this has changed significantly. The French staff were abrupt and unhelpful. I asked to try a fizzy wine Te Hua. Cost £3.99 she refused because we said we wanted 6 bottles. Instead she wanted to give me champagne because it was open. But I didn't want to buy it or taste it. Then we asked to try a wine called Motte. Cost £1.99. Again the answer was no. We spent £350 and felt very irked by the attitude. It's not like we asked to try expensive wines or that we weren't spending a significant amount. The woman in particular was rude.
