Great day out at Edinburgh zoo then ruined by awful food by this cafe. I ordered a kids box & soup with a bread roll, the bread roll was in a paper bag & it beyond hard & stale, the soup was put in to a plastic cup, wooden utensils, when I asked for a proper spoon the server looked at me like I had 5 heads. The kids box was disgusting the sandwich was brick hard and they don't even get to pick the crisps or sweetie that's in them, £21 wasted, it all went in the bin. Staff need to improve their attitude.
