I visited the old bakery on a busy Saturday, and had a great experience. I had the frittata, my daughter had the grilled cheese brioche and my friend had a bacon sandwich, finished off by a slice of freshly baked chocolate cake each (DELICIOUS). You can tell everything is freshly made each day with quality ingredients. This was our first visit but can’t wait to come back again!
Called in just after new owners had taken over and it offering a limited menu (which was fine). Service was a little chaotic and slow, but it can take time to get staff trained and processes in place. Food was a little disappointing in that a small scone sat alone in the middle of a large plate. However hopefully as they find their feet, these little issues will be ironed out.
Best place we visit at Newark for afternoon coffe and cake. The fruit tart is Godlike as well as the coffe, the service really good.
100% recommended.
Frittata was lovely also tried the Ham and eggs with Homemade chips loved the chips..lovely little place to eat and the Staff were very nice
I went a couple of days ago to what I thought would be a nice afternoon tea experience. No. I don't know what this new management has done to the food, but I don't want dog hair in my afternoon tea, thanks. Also, I didn't pay this much for a £4 scone that's clearly from Morissons?? I've been previously under the old management, and at least the service was decent. But where's that gone?
We have used this restaurant many times in the past and was looking forward to our visit today, however half the menu was crossed out and then when we did order it was We only have two pieces of this or One piece of that so we found it difficult to order. We eventually end up with a warm quiche and ice cold new potatoes and a dismal salad. The scones were ok but the so called jam was discusting and was more like jelly and very cheap and nasty. I suggest the owner goes back to her previous job and get the professional in to get the place back on track.
Have been to this place many times when the lovely Italian man owned it. However it now has a new owner the menu is rubbish with not much choice like jacket potato we ordered a sausage cob sausage barely warm and bread looked as though it had been cut with a blunt knife not even nicely presented hubby had breakfast cob and saidcthe same thing undercooked bacon cold sausage and no runny yoke on egg bread just fell to pieces. We had to wait quite a while for food as well. The only redeeming factor was the tea was nice. All staff need more training cook defo does and needs to learn how to present food so it looks at least appetising. Too many staff crowding out the kitchen and yelling upstairs to staff. Suffice it to say we definitely will not be returning such a shame as the previous owner had a belting little place with a fab menu and tasty food and polite friendly staff. I appreciate the new owner has only been there for a few weeks so fairly new but definitely needs to pull out all the stops to improve everything. Quite expensive as we for what we had.
I've eaten here twice and both times the food was delicious, good tea, and the service was fast and friendly. The prices are reasonable. The location is great but the outside seating is a bit uncomfortable.
The menu has a good selection of food and drinks including some vegetarian dishes but no vegan options. Inside there's a good selection of cakes which all look delicious.
