We went in with our little dog, no signs to say āno dogsā. The busy body local lady, who the staff knew by first name, in the queue said we couldnāt have our dog inside as it was somewhere that served food. We pointed out there there were no signs to the contrary, so ignored her. We ordered food and sat at the last table available. The busy body ordered after us and loudly said she couldnāt have her drink in as there were no seats. She obviously told the staff about our dog and we had to leave. The girl ejecting us was rude and humiliated us in-front of the queue of people waiting to be served and didnāt even offer a refund, but did say we could sit outside in the rain.
Utterly disgusted with out experience and will not be returning to 221B in Framingham again. The busy body held the door open for us to leave- you always remember places by how people make you feel and we felt...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreThis has been my favourite cafe for years, but yesterday was an absolute shambles. Unfortunately they had some sort of power issue which meant no coffee, and certain hot food.

I donāt know whoās in charge of staffing but each day there was not a single manner or polite word between them! Awful, ignorant, rude staff. Latest purchase was a bacon sandwich thrown across the counter with no sauce like Iād asked, two barely cooked fatty slices between co-opās budge thin sliced loaf! They couldnāt even be bothered to cut it in half. Never never again avoid, also worth noting that every evening Iād walk past the window and see all the āfreshā items sat there on display. Everything is tasteless and microwaved trust me just try the bacon cheese turnover, itās just air and microwave condensation. Cakes look amazing but I assure you they are as bland as everything else. I wish I could give this dump...
