The service was very slow. Drinks were sat on the counter for at least 10 minutes. Coffee was luke warm when it finally arrived. Sent a sandwich back as the bread was mouldy. Was told it was from the pack that the bread is delivered in. To be fair they did apologise and make us fresh ones but we had to wait a while. The food was average. Ordered a kids pasta meal and it was more like an adult portion. Far too over-facing for a child to eat. Sat for 5 minutes waiting for cutlery once the food had arrived. Main issue was the service. Very slow and no consistency. Not very pleasant when taking payment, just a nod to tap the machine. Not even a ?thankyou? or ?was everything ok for you today? afterwards. Wouldn?t be in a rush to return again. They need to sort their customer service skills out and be quicker to deliver food and drinks.

The food and service was top notch, I will definitely be returning soon, the staff were very friendly!

A reasonable but not extensive menu with additional seasonal additions However if you are a group, you have to pay as one table. Due to an inflexible payment system the whole party are expected to pay, even if one of the party needs to leave earlier than the group. The staff were quite abrupt regarding this arrangement too.

Just loved it ..the young servers were an absolute delight..we kept them rather busy(even though there were only two of us) but nothing was too much trouble .Have been many times to Dunstan and hopefully many times to

Busy weekend afternoon,called for cake and coffee. This was a much better experience than the last visit. The staff were excellent speedy and pleasant. The drinks were nice and the cake and sausage roll very nice. Plenty outside and inside seating.

We want cake and coffee. No one wiped the table we sat at so there were crumbs from the previous customer plus there was only one gluten free cake option and no gluten free bread to make some toast and jam. Very disappointedDietary restrictions: Not very good for gluten free

Lovely sirloin cob and rhubarb lemonade. Unfortunately, we were 'attacked' by wasps after the meat and couldn't finish our food. Fantastic waitress who noticed and only charged us for one. ?

Came with a friend (GF) for lunch....We both had the Lamb Kofta Flat Bread - It was delicious (and very filling!). It came quickly, good service.The Bistro is always busy...no matter what time of day! Glad we booked a table ?Dietary restrictions: Choices for a gluten - free diet are fantastic!

Service was very poor. Staff seemed untrained to deal with busy times. The cafe wasn't busy but had to attract the attention of a waitress so we could order! Food very average. Nothing to rave about. Had better scones elsewhere. Won't be going back there. ...

My friend and I visited the bistro last week, the staff were very young not professional at all. There was some altercation and the staff were very rude and vocal. They are in hospitality and they should be trained. Children were crying and screaming and parents were ignoring them. We had the fish and chips, not good! A terrible experience. Went to The Peacock this week staff were very professional the food was excellent, try there!

Perfect place to call with my son for an after school treat. Situated in a beautiful garden centre.Bistro staff very friendly, welcoming and all made a fuss of my son when we were at the counter to pay.

Decent food spoiled by lack of staff and poor attitude to service. Booked in advance and on arrival no space to sit at table as it had been crammed in so tightly to maximise number of tables.Wanted to order desserts but after waiting 10 minutes with no menu decided to leave instead. Have been a few times and had mixed service but will not return, its pricey and this isn?t reflected in the experience

Excellent Sunday lunch. We had never heard of here before and not familiar with the area, but following trip advisor reviews booked to meet family. The service was excellent and the food absolutely delicious. Not the cheapest but worth every penny. Meat and veg cooked to perfection, potatoes to die for, and a banging Yorkshire pud!
