It’s unprofitable to have a section of the restaurant dining area which cannot generate revenue.

Customers who do not wish to be seated near to the lavatories can ask when booking not to sit there or can refuse the table if offered it as a casual walk-in diner, but with no guarantee of other tables it’s often a case of “take it or leave it”.... Show More
