The Cafe At The River And Rowing Museum

When this was run by the Chocolate Cafe it was good, but I've been twice since it reopened under new management and both times the service has been terrible. The waitress was packing up and ignored me until she'd finished packing away the cakes and pastries. Then when the coffee arrived, it was weak and the flapjack I ordered (unseen, since it was packed away) was covered in sticky coffee goo. Apparently they don't do plain flapjack. Next time I may park at the R&R museum (now free for one hour), but I'll walk back to the Chocolate Cafe in the town.

Had to wait 15 mins for them to sort the till out.......no apology until next customer came who asked to pay cash apperently they don 't take cash.I asked to order pay when till problem sorted she ignored me.I got to order after another 20mins (she not got very good people skills) they served the customer after me first no sign of our coffee.i 'd had enough so asked for a refund which she seemed to find difficult to do.Think £20 for 2 coffee scones a bit pricey i 'll never know what they taste like!!

My friend, my dad from Malta and I all went to the cafe' yesterday for a warm me up cuppa. The cappuchino my friend had was spot on and he loved it very much. My father had a chilli hot chocolate which tickled his taste buds whilst quenching his thirst. I settled for the less exciting mint tea, which was deliciously served in a big pot most definately enough for two. Staff were very friendly and attended to us with a smile. Tables, chairs and floor meticulously clean.

Social distancing measures were excellent. There were a number of volunteers for the museum who guided us to the cafe. My wife is gluten free and the staff went out of their way to ensure her meal was indeed gluten free. I had hot dogs and chips whilst my wife had jacket potato with Tuna Mayo . We followed that with salted caramel ice cream and hot chocolate sauce. The chocolate was melted and came in a small pouring container. Altogether a very satisfactory lunch in an ideal outdoor setting.

An hours wait, with young chldren, for overpriced mediocre food and it wasn't even busy my last visit!
