Lincoln's Tea And Coffee Shoppe

Located next to the antique shop, this quaint cafe offers a variety of indulgent treats perfect for a rainy summer day. Although we only popped in for a drink, the homemade cakes and savory dishes looked temptingly delicious, so we plan to return to try them out another time.

Three of us visited Lincoln's for lunch and found the service to be excellent. However, two of the meals we ordered fell short of our expectations. The beef in the steak pie was tough and required a lot of chewing, while the Mushroom Stroganoff lacked seasoning and taste. On the other hand, the Jacket Potato with beans, cheese, and salad was perfect. When we raised our concerns to the waitress, she acknowledged them and said they would be passed on. Unfortunately, when it came time to pay, no discount was offered for the subpar meals. After requesting a discount, we were surprised to be told that no one else had complained that day. This led to a confrontation, where ultimately only a small refund was given. Our dissatisfaction continued when a colleague dismissed our complaints and offered no apology or discount for the poor quality of the food. In the end, one of my friends received a full refund, but the lack of empathy and customer service left us all shocked and disappointed. We won't be returning to Lincoln's after this experience.

I went to the restaurant for Sunday lunch. The beef was very tough and disappointing. I quietly mentioned it to the young waitress, but she didn't offer any solution. The dessert was enjoyable, but the roast beef was a letdown. When it came time to pay, there was no apology or offer of a discount. I would not recommend ordering the beef.

Excellent service. We ordered Chicken Caesar Salad aad a full Engkush breakfast. Both delicious and nicely presented. Lovely location.

Plus points: very good service and plenty of cheese in the cheesy chips. Not so good: mould on the window by our table, the coffee was bitter, the Coke was flat, no granary baguettes and the rest of the food was average They did refund the coffee but we didn't feel comfortable complaining about the other points. The quality and value here used to be very good but over the last few years it has become somewhat average. I'm not sure what has caused this but it's such a shame.
