Copper Cogs — Restaurant in Erewash

Visited Copper Cogs for the first time on a weekday at around 3pm, it was quite busy when we entered but we must have caught the end of the lunch rush as it soon quietened down. The service, whilst okay once at the table, was very slow throughout. We weren't informed on what wasn't available, weren't offered dessert menus after our table was cleared of mains and weren't offered drinks after our initial first one.

I ordered the world's smallest gluten free panini ever (for £8/£9 I'd really have expected two, considering the usual size of a normal panini) which came with a salad and whilst it was nice the portion size was so small if we hadn't had a dessert I'd have gone home and eaten another lunch.

My mum on the other hand ordered the Greek Salad which looked absolutely incredible - it was a huge portion and tasted lovely. She also ordered a slice of cake for dessert which again, looked and tasted lovely but was a little on the small side considering the price point.

Considering I was still starving following panini-gate, I felt I had no option but to order the biggest dessert I could to make up for it. I ordered the strawberry & nutella loaded pancakes which when they came were about 4x the size of my main and they tasted incredible. These pancakes definitely saved Copper Cogs from a disappointing review but I don't think I'll be making a return visit.

The slow service and lack of attentiveness following the initial order as well as the tiny main portion for GF were definite negatives however they did redeem themselves slightly with the Greek Salad and the Loaded Pancakes. Also the last waiter who served us was lovely and made up ever so slightly for the lack of attentiveness from...

I wish I had taken some photos of this place, because it's without a doubt fabulous! My mum and I often frequent here for a coffee and a slice of cake, whenever we visit Long Eaton. I think we came across Copper Cogs a while back, after trying to look for somewhere that was gluten free. This place came up, so we gave it a shot and loved it! The atmosphere is great and the quirky, vintage vibe is awesome (the lights really help to give it that cosy atmosphere). The service is always fab and the staff are ever so friendly. Their Bad Apple cider is superbly refreshing and their hot chocolate is exquisite. They always have a gluten free cake available, which changes often (the variety is great!) And then they also have other cakes available too, which always look super yummy. Although we've not really tried much of the food, the soups have always been wonderful with some bread on the side to accompany. Their burger selection is great, with the Van Helsing being my number one favourite! Without a doubt, I'd recommend Copper Cogs as a fun place to unwind, relax and have a cuppa and a cake whilst watching the world go by. We'd love to stop by for an evening meal sometime, so will certainly be doing that in the future. Many thanks to you all, keep up the...

First time experience today. Copper Cogs really did not disappoint. Centrally located in Long Eaton. Parking is available in surrounding areas all within a 100m walking distance. Copper Cogs was much more popular than we imagined, therefore I’d recommend booking a table. I chose to have the full English Breakfast and it was probably the best Breakfast I’ve ever had. Freshly cooked and served with ‘proper tea’ with Tea leaves. Just WOW! Each waiter/waitress was friendly and professional. Throughly enjoyed our Copper Cogs experience and will definitely be returning and recommending. If your after a proper breakfast experience with a great vibe, almost American Diner…ish. Copper Cogs is a MUST. The Menu is extensive with a wide variety of choices and they’re cocktail menu is huge too!!! Definitely worth a try if your in/around the area. Thank you Copper Cogs. 💫

Second Review:

I visited here again as I enjoyed it so much the first time, except I booked for 20 via the website. The night before, my table got cancelled. I received no phone call, no explanation as to why. I then had to look the disorganised one and inform 19 other people our table had been...
