Cons:

Food & Dining

Pros:

  • "Coffee had to go back because it was barely warm."
  • "Been a regular visitor to cafe and always been happy. Had a visit today and very disappointed. How they can warranty £7 odd for a sandwich is disgusting the bread was hard and salad consisted of a handful of mix leaves."
  • "The cakes and sweets are extortionate so this is why I have only given 3 star because I thought this was not fair on parents as children mostly ask for a slice of cake or something sweet."

  • "Went for a carvery, admittedly, we were later than usual... there was no choice besides a few overcooked pieces of beef and a small chicken breast."
