The Eatery — Restaurant in England

Had our first and last meal here today. We only went in as I'm pregnant and had a turn and realised I hadn't had breakfast. It looks nice and is designed well but that's as good as it gets. I can only assume you're paying for the location as the food we had was not worth the price.

Went in with our 3 year old and got a table straight away. Limited range available but all looked fairly standard with paninis, bagels, sandwiches and a fry up. On the pricey side I thought as £5 for a tuna sandwich but i expected something pretty tasty that I couldn't make at home and that's what makes the difference.

Anyway my partner went to pay, they took the order and money and THEN told him it would be a wait as yet. Didn't specify how long until my partner said 20 mins is ok but if it's an hour we're off. To which someone then said 20 mins. Instantly put him in a bad mood as we should have been given that info before handing over our money. If we had known we'd of likely went away as our little one wouldn't wait that long. Luckily we had a game for her in the car so went and got it and it kept her occupied. After the half hour wait I was praying the sandwich was amazing. It was a massive disappointment. Advertised as tuna mayo and cucumber on white and it really was a sad Looking plate. Cheap bloomer bread and a tuna mayo mix that's likely out of a tub with no cucumber. A really sad little pile of side salad that's pre packed from a salad bag (very obvious by the strings of dry beetroot and carrot) with a splash of balsamic vinegar with one piece of tomato the size of a 20p. Not even a fresh salad and it tasted like it sounds. My partner has a bagel with scrambled eggs and a long winded title to the bacon I cannot remember. Apart from the bagel itself looking cheap and flat the filling looked nice to me but apparently the eggs were bland and the title the bacon had was not deserved. Total waste of money and time for us. Maybe it's better for a coffee and a cake but who knows. We won't be back and i like to give places a second chance. I Could have made a more appetising meal at home and not had to wait. Lesson learned. Just go to Sainsbury's instead.

The Eatery is hands down one of the best places I’ve visited in a long time. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and everything about the place feels thoughtfully done. It’s clear that the team really care about what they do.

A very dull egg mayonnaise sandwich came with no garnish on warm plate (who does that?). Dried out my bread. No interaction from staff. Cafe clean and in good decor but bill was 6.70. Pricey for what I had. Some social pleasantries would make it feel more welcoming. I've been up and out since 5.15am so a good tea and sandwich was deserved. It was not worth the wait and should have gone to Sainsburys nearby. Seems popular for parents dropping in with children after school for a milkshake at 3.30pm. I can buy a vegetable biriani for...
