We’ve been coming to Wax most years for the last 10 years (was the Phoenix previously)
We love the fabulous spot on Watergate Bay, the views and chilled vibe.
Noticed a few annoyances this year- hope the owners look to invest in this bar as...it’s a fabulous place and as we know from previous years- has the potential to be outstanding.
The staff are a credit, all warm, friendly and smiling- but you can tell they are under immense pressure (under staffed?)
We arrived early for our table so decided to enjoy a drink first. I went to the downstairs bar to order. I wanted a Prosecco- was told none left. Ok, I’ll have a glass of Sauvignon instead. Was told only have a bit left in a bottle and no time to go to fetch more?! Ok, I’ll just have any white wine then! No wine glasses left, so came in a gin glass.
When ordering our food we wanted starters and mains- told it all has to come together as that’s what they do in summer. If that’s what they ‘have to do’ in Summer to cope with the peak season rush- they need to invest in more staff, in my opinion.
We scrapped the starters off and just had mains. Food was nice- burger, fish and chips and a pizza.
It was the week before Boardmasters, so who knows how they will cope next weekend.More
