The Lamppost Cafe Burrs Country Park

The takeaway prices at this restaurant were deemed too high - £20 for two sandwiches and drinks. The quality of the sandwiches was good, with the bread standing out as particularly better than average. However, the price of £1.70 for an egg was excessive, making a bacon and egg sandwich cost £6.70 to take out. The drinks were disappointing, with a barely hot £3.50 Hot Chocolate and a poorly made tea. The tea was made incorrectly with the teabag added first, then hot water and immediately milk, all served in a takeaway paper cup for £3. Not the proper way to make tea, especially for that price. Surprisingly, even McDonald's can make a better tea for only 99p.

The restaurant is visually appealing and has a decent menu, but I was left waiting for service without anyone coming to take my order. Eventually, I was informed that I had to order at the till, which I found frustrating and decided to leave. In response to the owner's comment, I did not seat myself but was directed to table 7 and given a menu by one of the staff. I was not informed that I needed to go back to the counter to place my order. My "staring" was actually just my attempt to get the attention of the staff to order. It would be helpful to make the ordering system more clear for non-regular customers.

Always a great place for a stop after walking round Burrs. Mostly outdoor seating, which is fine in summer but beware on a rainy day. Lovely food and drinks, better than average. Lots of doggie options too.

I enjoyed dining at this café, the staff was friendly and helpful, the food was delicious, and we especially liked the ginger and lemon drink.
