The Moorings — Restaurant in England

Stopped here for lunch on a Sunday afternoon. It was very busy as it was the Bank Holiday weekend.

It is a lovely spot next to the river, perfect on a sunny day.

Unfortunately the food was very disappointing. I opted for the Hallumi Fries from the Light Bites section and my elderly aunt went for a Ham sandwich.

Whilst my Hallumi fries were quite tasty the portion size was miserly! 4 small fries with a little pot of chilli sauce and a spoonful of salad for £7.45! Daylight robbery!

My aunt's sandwich was very disappointing- the ham had large areas of fat and really wasn't to her liking. The knife she had been given was so blunt she couldn't cut through the sandwich!

Her tea was as weak as a wet Wednesday! My coffee was the other extreme - so strong it was bracing!

The service was pleasant enough although we had to wait a while for cutlery after the food arrived and no one checked if all was OK with the food.

Food was very poor value for money, even given the prime location. A lovely place for a drink but I wouldn't go here...

This cafe will rip you off, we paid almost £20 for two cans of pop and two bland paninis that tasted like they had come straight from a primary school canteen. For the price we paid we expected them to come served with at least some side salad or garnish but they were on their own, slung carelessly into a plastic tray. The outside seating area is extremely cramped - social distancing is impossible and we were practically sat on the laps of total strangers. A shame that the owners are clearly trying to maximise footfall and profit over quality customer experience, as the welcoming staff and great location give it so much potential. A really...

Really disappointing experience. Lovely location and the staff seemed really nice (even though they were rushed off their feet and seemed understaffed), but there was no social distancing atall in the seating area and very overpriced. I paid £19 for 2 paninis and 2 cans of coke - the quality of those paninis was not worth a fiver, never mind the extortionate price of £8. The paninis were small, and lacked filling and the filling itself was cheap and poor quality. Most places that charge over £4 for a panini provide chips or salad, this cafe does not. You're better off getting a meal deal from a supermarket and sitting on the bench next to the cafe (so you dont miss out on the...
