It is rare in my experience to find many local staff in English properties, the vast majority are Eastern European and whilst a sweeping generalisation it might be said that they lack "warmth".

Whether this changes following our Great Escape from the EU, remains to be seen. I do notice a big difference in those places I regularly visit which do tend to deploy local staff so there are grounds for cautious optimism.
