Excellent British style restaurant where quality and service come first .

Sadly, this cafe within the Co-Op Quadrant has lost its way. As soon as you reach the counter, the male assistant who I think is the owner tries his best to rush you into choosing something to eat. I ordered a ham salad panini. What a disappointment. Paper thin value ham. One thin slice in a very lukewarm panini. I would have been embarrassed to give that to anyone. A couple of cheap tomatoes and a limp piece of lettuce going brown at edges qualified for a side salad. I took the panini back and said that I was slightly underwhelmed by the whole package. It came back with margarine pretending to be butter to make up for the £7 I had just spent on it. So lesson learnt. Avoid and go to the lovely cafe nearby called Recess and enjoy a better quality meal.

I would give this a c. Service was slow, food was mediocre. We had the NY strip a pizza and the half chicken and all was fine just not really worth the price .

The service was ok and our drinks came quickly however was quite expensive when it came to food it was a disaster me and my family came here and when our food arrived it was completely wrong must have been someone else’s when we said it was wrong they quickly replaced it but when it came my shepherds pie was really under cooked borderline raw and the rest of my meal was soggy like it had been sitting in the Amazon rainforest for weeks there was also a funny smell in the restaurant that we couldn’t quite pin Costs way too much to justify eating in this poor excuse for a restaurant wouldn’t recommend

if your after traditional old fashioned food, plenty of veg, lots of good quality meat. You cant beat Brambles. Staff are great. Its a cafe and most people seem to be over 50 , but who cares if the foods good . If youre looking for a restaurant and maybe dress up its not for you . If youre looking for good food, clean tidy and nothing too much trouble for the staff , you're out shopping and dont want to spend a fortune , id definitely recommend

The food here is very good...typical British grub...but it's the service that is absolutely outstanding! All the staff are helpful and on the ball. Quick and efficient service and the tables are cleared immediately. Well done to all!

The food here has always been good and reasonably priced. On certain days is packed. Good traditional food and large portions

Large choice of fresh hot home cooked food, staff very helpful and perlite My third time of eating here and I give it 10/10 you will not be disappointed
I recommend the Sunday roast! Very helpful staff and really good food served in generous portions. Very clean and plenty of tables. Wish they had a bigger range of snacks and cakes but it's more than made up for by the great food. Love the store too!
