Sails Cafe — Restaurant in England

My partner and I have just returned from our visit to Sails Cafe we decided to eat there as the Skidyl Mill was unfortunately closed hence our decision to eat at the Cafe. We decided to eat outside mainly due to it being very noisy, however as it started to rain we decided to move inside despite the noise. I ordered a quiche with salad and my partner ordered a Ploughmans I specifically made it clear that I did not want or require any coleslaw or anything else. However, when it arrived it was daubed with salad cream, grated carrot, chopped beetroot, and a potato salad, all of which I did not want. The quiche was hard, the whole plate was a mess and looked very unappetising My partners Ploughmans was also pretty much the same which included a whole apple,a load of ham, also daubed with salad cream which again he did not want. As neither of us enjoyed our food and as the noise was increasing we decided to pay up and leave. It is fortunate that we are on holiday and so do not live in the area, as we would not return and may I suggest that if people wish to have extras on their food that it is served separately so they can have as more or less as they require rather than having it daubed all...

Brilliant place! Adjoining Sails Café is the most resplendent, towering windmill overlooking you in the courtyard. This place is well worth visiting. The 1821 windmill is a Grade 2 listed building and is the last working windmill in East Yorkshire. The windmill wasn't open when I visited though. The council bought the mill in 1969 for £1! After renovations it was opened in 1974 as a working museum. The courtyard acts like a walled garden trapping in the heat, but fortunately the outdoor seating is shaded. There is indoor seating too. The staff are friendly and efficient. There is a fantastic range of homemade cakes. I can heartily recommend the carrot cake. It is juicy, moist, deliciously tasty, one of the best I've had. Good, chunky portion too. Definitely revisiting here. Great setting....

Such a shame

Went for the first time today and had lunch. Mine was delicious. My husband's lunch was sadly lacking. He asked for a ham sandwich in wholemeal, with lettuce and red onions The ham was cut in small bits and dry, looked like a lot of end bits. The lettuce was chopped ends of an iceberg lettuce, not the lovely mixed salad leaves I had in my sandwich. The red onion was chopped so small it kept falling out of the sandwich. He also ordered a side of wedges, which when they arrived were soggy and extremely greasy. Such a shame, we left feeling deflated as it was something we both should have enjoyed. The coffee and tea were great, the young lady who served us was lovely. The bill came and they had deducted the price of the wedges.
