The Hungry Fox, Hempstead

Was looking for a quick easy meal whilt waiting for daughter at nearby Ice Ring. Premises looked unwelcoming and unkept (most of the signage lettering was missing) and we nearly did'nt go in.

However menu looked ok for our requirements and reasonably priced so we entered.

Standard "Select table number and order at bar" process, but unfortunately when I tried to order from the one barmaid/waitress on duty she was more concerned with serving "known" regulars and in fact despite being the only other person at the bar she still served three other people as they came in, at the other end of the bar. This was despite the fact I was standing next to the people she had just served.

I could have accepted this was an error if the place was full and busy but it was not and can only assume she did not want to serve me or my wife who was sitting at the table.

Walked out without placing order (or even uttering a word) and will not return.
