The review has caused much mirth on social media with one wag imagining how the same customer might have reacted to the scene of the world’s most famous nuclear disaster.
"Chernobyl: Visited, but shut. Probably because of thermonuclear meltdown. One star,” they wrote.
Thankfully, it appears the reviewer is very much in the minority.
Steam Yard boasts a very healthy 4.7-star rating on Google reviews, with customers raving about the quality of its coffee and food as well as the service.
