"Visited Sat 23rd Dec 23, first thing to say is young lady behind the bar and young waitress serving us were eabsolutely lovely. Ordered a rump steak for myself and Mexican chicken burger for my wife. My steak arrived and was so tough not only could I not eat it, I couldn’t even cut it with a steak knife! The onion rings were so overcooked they shattered when I cut into them, peppercorn sauce was obviously from a packet and full of MSG, chips were delicious! When the older “head waitress” asked if everything was ok I said no it wasn’t, that my steak was tough as old boots, she said wasn’t it cooked to my liking and i showed her you couldn’t cut it with a steak knife, she offered to “change it” I said no thanks I didn’t want to wait for a replacement to be cooked. I have eaten hundreds of steaks, I know rump is not the tenderest of cuts but should at least be edible. She said she would let the chef know. I’m sure this lady is an institution in the place but obviously not employed for her sunny disposition, scintillating personality or people skills in general! Anyway I left 90% of my meal. My wife chicken burger thing was tasteless and had the consistency of cardboard! The prices were very reasonable but obviously achieved by using poor quality ingredients and management who care little about customer satisfaction. When my wife went to pay our bill, there was no apology or reduction, in fact throughout the whole process we never heard the word “ sorry” although disgusted with the “head waitress’s attitude, having had a particularly stressful week at work, she couldn’t be bothered haggling so paid the bill in full and left. We will never visit again and actively discourage anyone else from doing so."

"Went for afternoon tea with my wife, using an 'experience ' voucher from a well known site, costing £35.99 absolute disaster! The description said 'sit down in the sophisticated dining room and tuck into a section of finger sandwiches, tantalising cakes, pastries, macarons and scones with clotted cream and jam. You won 't want this afternoon to end! ' Trust me, we could not get out of their quick enough and go and find somewhere to get something to eat. The sophisticated dining room was a large, cold room with only a couple of other diners, sticky wooden tables, with no table cloths, just a flimsy paper napkin and a knife and fork. We ordered a coffee and a tea, which came in the smallest teapot, I have ever seen. Later in the meal, when we asked for another drink, we were told that was extra and were charged another £5.70. The food was nothing like as described or pictured on the website. A sad looking selection of sandwiches four quarters each of thin sliced bread one containing a very small piece of processed ham, a second mashed up egg, third was some sort of fish, not sure if it was salmon or tuna; and finally some sort of green leaf with something wet on top it looked like the sandwich had been made days earlier and then sat upon! No pastries or macarons but the two scones with clotted cream and two little pots of jam were OK, however the remaining small cakes were dreadful, none of them were fresh there were two eclairs that were inedible, either the cream or chocolate was off and they were very dry; two little red velvet cakes, which again were dry and horrible; and finally two small pieces of carrot cake that were the least objectionable but again very dry. When we told the waitress the eclairs, she said she would tell the chef but no offer of an alternative. True, it was an unforgettable experience, but not in the way we had expected! We have had afternoon teas in top hotels, pubs, cafes and well known garden centres and nothing came close to being as bad as this meal. Needless to say we will never return and would strongly advise caution if anyone is thinking of going here."

"Me and my grandma decided to visit loggerheads as she hadn’t been in a while and we we hoping to enjoy a drink and sandwich outside in the sun. When we arrived the queue was out the door and it seemed the cafe was severely understaffed. We waited in the queue for around 20 minutes before being served. The cakes and sugar cubes were being surrounded by wasps from outside. We ordered a tea, iced coffee and 2 sandwiches (avoided the wasp cakes) which came to a huge £21.10. The tea was way too strong (pouring out black) and only a tiny amount of milk was given. We were told the coffee would be brought to us along with the sandwiches. We sat outside in the sun and when our sandwiches arrived we were rudely told we couldn’t sit on the table we were sitting on as it was too far on the grass area (about 30m) and all other seats outside were either taken or overrun by wasps. We then decided to sit inside. There was no coffee brought to the table so we then had to ask for them to make it again. It was served in a plastic ice cream sundae dish with about 70% of it being ice. My grandma asked a kind worker (seemed to be from Liverpool) if she could have a new tea and she was absolutely lovely and happily fetched a new one. She was probably the only pleasant worker we spoke to. The sandwiches were on really thick bread with a dark and thick stem salad. There was no cutlery provided which we had to ask for again. We felt rude having to push in the queue just to keep asking for things we hadn’t been given. We were both in agreement that we wouldn’t be rushing back there again. The cafe has so much potential but just seems to be doing everything wrong."
