Anybody been to this place recently ?
I went a few weeks ago after vowing to myself not to return. I should have known better because the
mantra ' you only get what you pay for ' holds true in this case. Entrance fee £80 for 4 hours albeit I notice that a reduction has recently been introduced of £60 for two hours. Presumably, this new rate is to satisfy those that can just about tolerate the low grade service for only 2 hours. Alternatively, 2 hours may be the boredom threshold of waiting one's turn in the oversubscribed circus where the ratio is often 5:1.
One has plenty of time during the party to ponder where the blame lays. Is it the mentality of ' a shag is a shag, forget the quality as long as it's cheap ' .....or the owners' dismissive attitude to the customer expectation....or the willingness/desperation of women to be used and abused for an ever decreasing amount of money.
Perhaps the truth is ....all of these.
The breadth of nationalities. colour and creed of men exposes the full glory of the treatment of women. Acceptable punting behaviour, queuing, hygiene and common courtesies all fall under the spotlight for individual consideration.
The unimpressive line-up of 3 ladies initially presented a united front of enthusiasm which quickly dissipated into functionality and disinterest as they were overawed by the impracticality of the ratio that had been imposed upon them. This situation worsened if one or more of them needed to go to the toilet or have a break.......which some men incredibly regarded as unfair on themselves.
I acknowledge that my particular experience may not be representative of the general level of service on offer, however a couple of men expressed the view that the evening was 'par for the course'
I left early not really knowing if I felt sorry or angry regarding the venue, the owners, the men, the women or myself.
I have been regularly punting for 10 years and attended many parties......but Hey ! What do I know ?
