LONDON -- What's the best way to handle a one-star TripAdvisor review? Send a carefully worded response? Ignore it and hope it gets buried among the more positive ones?

"The idea was just to try and do something a bit different," Nook manager Arlo Calderbank was quoted as saying in the Manchester Evening News.

"The lady's comment was quite disappointing because we try to provide the best service at all times. Seeing the comment pop up on TripAdvisor was a bit of a shame."

Calderbank went on to say that the cafe normally receives positive feedback, but people occasionally not liking the food "is part of it all".

He said he was "gobsmacked" by the huge reaction the chalkboard has received on social media.
