Ray took our order and even returned to ask what kind of bread we wanted with our meal. Then came a group of five men into the restaurant and, without so much as a by your leave, proceeded to move empty table around and in doing so, encroaching on our space. They were very loud and "pushy".
This was the only issue we had as the food was of an acceptable quality. The scampi and white bait was out of the freezer but was "O.K" the portions were good and the salad fresh. The coleslaw tasted good and so as far as the food was concerned, it was fine.
It was just the manner in which the restaurant allowed these men to move tables around willy nilly and not even an excuse me from anybody. Yes, I would return but there are so many Bistros, Cafes and restaurants close by so it would be a while!
The menu was great, with specials on offer. Our choices were delicious and made with no wait at all. The cake we had was also delicious & a generous size.
Thank you to Ray who answered my email question within minutes of me sending it & then greeted us and asked after our journey so far.
Friendly, welcoming service.
Excellent value. To put this into context, my husband and I had two meals from the all-day breakfast menu, plus a big pot of tea for two, all for £11.00. Later that afternoon, we went to a certain well-known chain of coffee shops and paid £7 just for two coffees. It's a no-brainer.
Dog-friendly.
Well done Lacemaker's Cafe, and thank you. We don't visit Honiton that often, but when we do, we wouldn't eat anywhere else.
The Bacon cooked, but dry - the black pudding, very similar, which sort of spoilt the meal a little bit.
Having not been there for somewhile because of the restrictions, the premises seemed a little tired and in need of a spruce up, and the toilet area was the same.
I'm not sure if it may have changed hands as the last time we visited, it was run by a father and daughter.
However, the two ladies running it today were attentive and polite, but the decor let it down, although it was totally clean and tidy as you would expect
