If I could give 0 stars I would, especially for the service. Decided to try this place today, when ordering I asked for no Mushy peas with my corned beef pie and chips, my daughter asked for peas and our friend asked for a jacket potato with cheese. When our food arrived I had mushy peas on my plate, my daughter had no peas and our friend was brought a jacket potato with Tuna… they made a new jacket potato and brought out my daughter some peas, however when it came to mine they refused to do anything about it. Fair enough if it was normal peas but it wasn’t. All of the other parts of the meal were submerged in mushy peas 🤢 when I complained I was just told “there’s no corned beef pie left” didn’t offer something else for there mistake, didn’t even offer a refund, tbh she was so rude and I wish I knew her name. Will not be coming here in the future and I think you need to train your staff on hospitality and work on the communication within your workplace because the service was just shocking. I wouldn’t even treat someone like that when I’m off work, let alone when I’m at work and someone is paying for...
Read moreSat in for lunch. We have called into this lovely cafe on the mezzanine above Durham market before for full english breakfasts, which never disappoints for the past 15 years. Food is always cooked fresh to order, and a pot of tea for 2, which provides a refill for both teacups. Five of us called in today. We ordered a full English breakfast with fried bread, a bowl of carrot & coriander soup with a slice of farmhouse style bread, a large fish (from Whitby) & chips portion with peas, bread & butter, which is part of the dish. a fruit scone & two slices of old school cake. two pots of tea for two and a 500ml coke zero. We waited 15-20 minutes for the two main dishes and a further 5 minutes for the soup. Food all cooked well & presentation excellent. Old school cake soft to bite and very tasty just how it sits in my memories of this classic dessert. No complaints from the rest of our table. Our food bill came to £51.65 so there is not much difference here to cafe prices at...
Read moreWifey out while G at golf, looking for a nice breakfast so called into Cafe Cenno which has been in Durham Market for many years and has a great reputation for good, home cooked food. Staff were very welcoming and friendly. I chose the lighter option of the 5 item breakfast as the full English looked huge! Drinks are done at the counter and there was a short wait for the food while it was freshly prepared. Everything was hot and tasty, breakfast came with a round of toast or fried bread if you prefer. Pot of tea was generously sized for one and counter was stuffed with delicious looking pies, cakes and sweet treats. Cafe overlooks the bustling market and has a nice vibe. Daily papers available and well situated for access to toilets and lifts. G very jealous as golf score not worth reporting! However he soon cheered up when I revealed that I had brought home two cherry and walnut scones which went...
