Let’s start with the good, the menu is a decent size for a tea room with plenty of options and food served was tasty, cakes have always been a staple, toasties are of a good sizing with a side salad to fill you. Prompt service was a bonus.
Now for the bad, the mess, not a single table outside was cleared, leaving rubbish being blown everywhere, spills, crumbs, leftovers all over the place, and with the bins overflowing with dog waste, the place left a lot to be desired. Especially in the current climate where cleanliness is very important, it leaves a bad taste in the mouth.
If you managed to stomach the mess of outside, you did get a warm, clean place to eat, but as dogs are a no go, this is not a pleasant venue for the hound hikers landing midway through a walk. Suffice to say, across the court was clean and busy and will be the first stop on the next round trip.
Food was good, service not so much.
Ordered 3 slices of cake that were already baked and 3 hot chocolates. All to take away. Never payed attention what I payed for.
Half an hour later people that ordered ahead of me were having their hot cobs and sandwiches and meals served already.
I walked in to ask what is going on to be told to wait another 5 minutes. For 3 slices of cake to be put in a box? Absolutely disgusting.
And on top of that I was brought back only one hot chocolate not 3. And it wasn’t to take away either. The girl at the till never payed attention when I asked for 3 hot chocolates , not one.
When I said I have been waiting for half an hour and I have to go as my baby is crying I was told well that was your order.
Never again will walk in this coffee shop.
Will visit again soon :) thank you
Definitely worth a visit , you won't be disappointed.
Situated in the beautiful surroundings of Staunton Harold Hall 💛🙌
