Accessibility
Pros:
"Once inside apart from the doors being a little heavy all is accessible."
"Accessibility is pretty good here, there is a ramp to the main door or some small steps with a rail."
Cons:
"Getting around the Bottle Kiln is difficult if you're disabled in either a wheelchair or using a walker."
"No tables outside so we sat inside."
"There are two levels to the cafe so wheelchair users may struggle to get there without going back outside and I believe the toilets are also in the upper part so there must be a way for wheelchair users to get there."
Service
Pros:
"The staff are a dream! Lots of ideas for presents ranging from low to high prices."
"The staff were really helpful with helping me and super understanding."
"Service was friendly and it was clear many of the customers were regulars."
"Really friendly people working there especially Diane who looked after us so well."
"The staff are extremely friendly, well mannered and helpful, there is no pressure to move on so you can enjoy your visit."
Cons:
"No apology when we raised this and it took about 5 minutes for the last piece of cake to come as there was no rush from the staff to cut it or bring it over."
"The assistant was rude to my best friend with such a mightier than thou attitude my best friend put back what she was going to purchase on principle."
"The miserable sales assistant in the shop (lady with curly hair) couldn’t have been more unfriendly."
"Was spoken to like we were children and told a dozen times about the covid procedures by the same very bossy lady."
"Atrocious attitude by Diane who served us."
"The staff in the eating area were slightly less enthusiastic than in the shop but still polite and friendly."
"They do not make you feel welcome to the shop just stare at you like you are a criminal about to rob them."
Food Quality
Pros:
"The cafe has really nice quiches / pies served with salad - it's they're known for."
"Highly Recommended.... Don't forget to take a slice of cake home 😋 😉"
"We ate a EOTHO meal this evening which was of the highest quality."
"You will not find a nicer tasting quiche anywhere else."
"The BK specialises in quiches, frittatas and pies... all home made and all delicious."
"Food fantastic but they really ought to hide the 🍰."
"The food is beautiful and definitely worth it."
Cons:
"Food portions were enormous which is recommend they cut down, or share food for sure!"
"My husband's mushrooms on toast were fine, but the three of us who had Welsh Rarebit were disappointed."
"Breakfast is non existent unless you want healthy or cake??!"
"Our order was simple but it took 3 visits to our table before it was correct."
"The kitchen had run out of quite a lot of key elements to their menu offer ... at 1pm?"
"We had quiche and salad which we've had many times before, but was very disappointed this time."
"Quiche was soggy from too long in microwave and salad not as good as previous times."
