What a superb little cafe this is. Nestled in the village of Harlington. First time here & I wonder how it’s taken me so long to find it. A long time friend suggested it as it’s owned by Sue, a previous boss of ours & Rob. As soon as we arrived, we felt so welcome. You could also tell it is favoured by many people and not just the locals. The menu was very extensive & included an array of things, including sourdough pizza, sausage rolls, salads, cake and even more cake! Not forgetting tea, coffee, hot chocolate, indulgent milkshakes & nutritious smoothies! We were impressed with the choice of vegetarian, vegan and gluten free offerings too.There’s certainly something for most people! We opted for the pizzas. My funghi i tartufi pizza was hot, fresh & delicious! From the sounds coming from other people on our table, it seems theirs was too! So much so, I forgot to take a photo! We all finished off with a selection of yummy cakes. Mine was the millionaires shortbread. The caramel was just perfect! Not stopping there, we even took cakes home! All in all a wonderful afternoon and great to catch up. I’ve already told other friends and they now want to visit! Thank you so much Sue! And to Rob and the rest of the team! Can’t...
Read moreWhat do you get when you have the King of Pizzas and the Queen of Cakes? Well, the Hub & Spoke Café, that’s what. It seemed a bit cruel to keep this lovely gem to ourselves, so we arranged to meet some friends here for lunch. It was busy, and the place was filled with the warm, relaxed hubbub (see what I did there!) of happy chatting and even happier eating. And it wasn’t just two-legged customers who’ve made this café their go-to destination; in the time we were there we saw a few dogs popping in (owners in tow) for a biscuit from the special jar. There’s SO much choice on the menu, a return visit is a must … and another … and another. On this occasion we had a veggie pizza (me) and a very spicy Diavola (him) which from the frequent ‘yummming’ I could tell was absolutely corking. Cake was a must, but choosing which to have was probably the most difficult decision we’ve made this month. As it turned out, we didn’t have to miss out on anything, thanks to the marvels of take-home boxes. Now in its third year, the Hub & Spoke is a wonderful business, and it’s owners Sue and Rob, take great pride in sourcing fabulous ingredients, offering wonderful service, and welcoming one and all.

Read moreI'm giving this one star for the purpose of being able to submit a review, otherwise it would be no star. I am saying this not to be vindictive, but to offer a genuine appraisal from which you can strive to sell a product of a quality that every customer expects as standard. On my visit I noticed you sold sausage rolls. I was unaware, until after I had ordered the product, that the sausage roll was displayed in it's raw, uncooked state, which was "cooked" to order ( notice that I chose not to describe it as baked). It was then taken in its raw form and placed in some kind of small oven and cooked ( not baked) for a short period, maybe two minutes, then bagged and presented to me to take away. I've never seen before a sausage roll cooked in this way and I was right to be suspicious that this would produce the product I was expecting ie a sausage roll with light, flaky pastry and soft, juicy sausage interior. What I received, however, was a sausage roll with a hard, chewy shell and tough, rubbery meat interior. It was absolutely terrible and undoubtedly the worst sausage roll I have ever eaten. If other people find this acceptable, more fool them. This is...
