Really amazing find. The food and service was fantastic. It?s a walk-in service but we were seated quickly. Table ordering via an App so it was seamless. We are really happy to have moved to 5 mins away from this place and will be back.

Amazing food (pancakes are the best I've ever had!) Lovely staff, friendly and very helpful. Atmosphere is great! Such a lovely little place. I only discovered it a few months ago and it's now become a regular place my mum and I visit for breakfast?

I fear this place is becoming a victim of it's success. It used to be fabulous and couldnt find a fault but the last couple of times the service has been slow, wait times have been incredibly long (still dont understand why we cant book - would happily pay deposit or leave card details) - one small gift shop isn't very entertaining enough and when you've been once or twice, it's the same stuff. Yesterday the staff seemed run ragged and unable to remember simple requests for a top up of water or a takeaway box. The people who work there are lovely but just seem unable to cope at times. It's also frustrating that despite customers having to manage their own orders, which takes a big job away from staff, they still seem so rushed off their feet and unable to give a decent level of customer service. The only interaction you have with the staff is when you're having your order delivered.
I think there should be an option to make swaps on breakfast - it cost £18 for a breakfast yesterday. I removed an item and added an item on - didnt save any money from taking something off, but charged £3 to add something on! Doesn't make sense and in all honesty Macknade do a much nicer breakfast, better quality and cheaper! I am a bit hesitant to go back after yesterday.
No toilet roll in the toilets either. It's such a shame - used to be the best place around but unfortunately their competitors are more realistic with prices, give better customer service and you can book / dont have to wait long.

Disappointing first visit to Oad Street.
We arrived around 11am on a Saturday, explaining we would like an outdoor seat as we had our dog with us. There were multiple outdoor seats available so I couldn?t see this being an issue, especially as the venue doesn?t take bookings for food.
The staff member explained that even though there were multiple free tables outside, we couldn?t sit down and that we must join a waiting list to help the kitchen. We then waited 45 minutes for a table, I don?t think we would?ve been seated if it wasn?t for the same staff member who noticed us still waiting and instructed her colleagues that we were waiting for an outdoor seat not indoor.
45 minutes later we finally were seated on a table that had been free since we entered 45 minutes prior. This was really disappointing, I don?t understand why you?d make customers wait and sit on the side/floor for 45 mins rather than sitting them down on a choice of multiple free tables.
We?d much rather wait for 45 minutes at a table knowing our food was on its way, rather than standing in the walk way to the car park. I wouldn?t return due to the lack of customer service, the system just didn?t make any sense and wasn?t enjoyable.

Went for an afternoon tea for my mums 70th birthday today, an I was very disappointed, the only nice thing was the scones , we were a party of 4 and none of us enjoyed it unfortunately.
We went three years ago for my mother in-laws 85th Birthday and it was fantastic, but unfortunately I would never go back , Dobbies afternoon tea is much better now

Lovely food and location. Friendly staff although could be a bit more attentive (e.g. come and ask if we needed anything else)

Disappointed place geared for food and weddings. Craft centre greatly reduced. Parking now in a field behind the building. Ground wet and muddy. Needs gravel or similar

My go-to place to meet friends for lunch. It's a little oasis in the countryside with a great menu, great service and a wonderful atmosphere!
