The Cafe Next Door - Charnwood

Wasn't particularly busy, but waited ages for my cake order to arrive, so long infact I had to go chase it up, my friend had actually finished hers by the time mine came, should have had them both together really, girls behind counter seemed pretty...miserable, impression was they didn't want us there. Very disappointed.

We were travelling from London to York and needed a lunch stopover. Using Tripadvisor we opted to detour here rather than use the various service stations. Very sound choice! Nearly came unstuck as they were full. However a table came free as we were walking...away phew! Really attentive service from the girls. The home made quiche and salad were superb.

We were in this caffe for the years, but not again, after we were completely ignored how all around us were served, we just stood up and went and felt completely invisible and ignored...not the good way to run a caffe that needs personal. to be aware of their customers!

We had been given an afternoon tea for two as a treat some time earlier, but because of covid ...... We went with an open mind, having not long been to Highgrove for afternoon tea. Highgrove watch out Good food, Pleasant surroundings, attentive Service, polite...and cheery staff. Well done under unusual circumstances

Excellent service from the 2 students dame for caffe plus connected is a beautiful gift shop. the pupils helped me very well, the ladies helped me with the postcards. beautiful big business.
