Could just be they are short staffed so reducing numbers to an amount they can cope with.
Some old person with a dog I assume.
If I’m going out for lunch to a place where there’s dog friendly seating, I’ll reserve my spot.
Our local garden centre is always rammed and getting a dog seat is a ballache.
Dog scatting area? Gross
Maybe the table is just more introverted.
But surely bangers and mash for £11 is the crime here?

Could be a small group of cyclists
Old people or disabled people with a dog. Sometimes it’s not possible for people to be stood around waiting for a table but they don’t necessarily have a wheelchair. Better to know you can go straight from the car to the cafe table in those instances.
That might be an elderly or less mobile person’s treat outing for the week and now they know they will have a table and won’t have to stress that they’ll have to wait for one.
Wish I could, got beaten to a six person table, yesterday by a little old lady and her cup of tea.
She was fucking rude when I asked if she minded moving to a nearby two person table, so the four of us could sit together.
My granny is 90, I’m not taking her out somewhere that I can’t guarantee she’ll get a seat.
No idea if this is standard, but theres a garden centre near me with a large food area. When you enter, they give you a card to place on a table to reserve it while you go and get your food. Might be something similar here.

The two garden centres near me do pretty good food. They’re always busy and there’s always a bunch of tables reserved
I saw a mini bus from the local care home drop a dozen old people off at the garden centre the other day.
Perfect place to do some slow-paced shopping (it has clothes shops, a pet shop, etc inside, as well as garden stuff) and then grab some Sausage and Mash after.
People who want to have lunch at a specific garden centre at a specific time and want to be sure there will be a table available.
I realise this is a pretty out there guess but hopefully I’m at least close to the truth.
Garden centres do the best brunches. Old people know what’s up
