"We are a family of four who wanted a meal out together. We came into the pub around 6:00pm to be greeted by a bingo game and quiz that made the place feel like an old people 's home. The quiz host was trying his best to create atmosphere but fell way short with sexist statements about birds of the feathered variety and asking people to shout house in their best Irish accent! Sexism and racism that would be better suited to the 1970 and should be have been left there. The meals came and three of the four were burnt. 2 burgers that were barely recognisable, burger buns black on the inside and a mixed grill with every meat component massively over cooked and the egg was so over done it could be snapped in half. The meals were replaced with an apology and an offer of a round of drinks. As we had just ordered more drinks we declined them and awaited our food. When the second set of meals arrived, two of the three were OK but the mixed grill still had an issue with the steak, this time it was ****** and under cooked. My wife went to complain again to the person who served us who in turn referred her to the manager who was sat at a table with his family. My wife said we had already sent the meals back once but the steak on this was rare. The manager argued that it was medium rare. (no argument really since that 's still not what we asked for At this point the Manager said he was on his day off and didn 't know why we were having a go at him . The fact was we had complained to someone in charge and was passed to him, we didn 't know he wasn 't on duty. The manager was unbending and refused to admit they were at all at fault. He just repeated Why are you in my face . He could see that we were clearly upset by the situation but offered no way to de-ecallate, in fact when we asked to go above him and talk to his boss, we were told that all complaints come to him first so it won 't go anywhere anyway. (apparently he will get in front of it with his boss and smooth things over, only adding to our frustration. We got our coats and left. On the way out he muttered have a nice evening , clearly a sarcastic provocation which in this day and age of customer service was totally transparent and unnecessary but caused an outburst from my wife which is totally out of character. We have been customers of the woodman since it opened and have had the odd bad experience but never as bad as this. I have never seen a manager argue the toss over a steak being Medium rare not rare, the fact is it wasn 't what we asked for and just wanted recompense for the poor quality of service. There has been a steady decline in food standards over recent months but this evening 's meal was appalling. If you are looking for a low rent atmosphere then you have hit the mark. It 's certainly not we have come to expect from this place or Marston but it 's where we are."

"wow, what a place! just before some weeks were first impressions of the place great, the caffe smells delicious as soon as they go in and the decor is beautiful as being on a tropical island. because it was...unny outside it was nice to come into a shadow and the place was nice and cool. had the double decker pipe that was sooo good! nice and chilled with a really creamy moussey texture, not to chocolate, as diseased, absolutely massive disc. and a soy latte, which was so creamy, no need sugar. the worker who served me was absolutely beautiful, could not do enough for me, so polite and friendly and extremely courteous for vegans, brought me over a vegan menu to check for the next time and me about everything they offer. Finally, I couldn't believe how cheap it was. a five for a huge piece of homemade vegan cake / cheesecake and a latte. have found my new favorite Hunt in rotherham and cannot wait to go back! so excited that we are this place and grateful for their efforts in creating beautiful vegan foods. the love for detail in this place is incredible, so many beautiful little touches that they feel as if they were in the outland in a hot land that goes out from the sun for a sunset and a cool descent. the coffee is delicious, service is not one, very affordable and beautiful desserts, I was a handful of times since my first visit alone, as part of a couple and friends and everyone was impressed."

"We were recommended this by one of our friends who has family in the area. The place we were staying, Cardiff Arms Hotel and Bistro don't serve breakfast! So we went to this place at about 9.15am as it opened up at 9am. Sign on the door saying cash only. Good job we had some! Very deceiving from the outside as it looked quite small, but when you walk in it went right the way back and there was an upstairs space for over 18's. Two ladies were working and the place was already busy. One lady brought the menus over and said to come to the counter to order. I asked was it too early for a salad. She smiled and said everything on the menu is served from 9am. Because I have horrendous dietary need. GF, DF and coeliac it is hard to eat out. But there was a quite a lot I could have. I opted for a chicken salad. My husband went for poached eggs on toast with a sausage. The menu wasn't too long, but had a good selection to choose from. I went to the counter. Ordered our food. The lady went though all the things I could have in the salad in bowls by the counter. I pointed out 2 things I couldn't have. We sat by the window, the place was light spacious and clean. Tables not sticky or dirty. The lady came over to me again and offered more things to have as I wasn't having all the things in the chiller cabinet. Nice of her to ask, but I declined. Food turned up. An amazing bowl quite large filled to the brim with salad and chicken strips on top. The chicken was very succulent thankfully. Not dry like in a lot of places. My husbands eggs must have been free range as they had extremely orange yolks. He said they were lovely. The sausage didn't look too great, a bit insipid and he said it didn't really taste of anything. The experience was pleasant and VERY good value. The food and cappuccino came to £12....or so. If we come back to this area, we will definitely go again. Maybe for lunch next time"
