Fintons Cafe & Bakehouse — Restaurant in Erewash

Unfortunately we can't comment on the food as we left before trying any due to poor customer service and general lack of consideration for customers. We weren't allowed to sit on a table for 4 as there were only 2 of us and yet there were quite a few of them available! We were then offered a table for 2 but there was about a 3 inch gap between the tables and we would have felt we were having lunch with strangers especially as we wanted to have a private conversation. We then did get a table for 2 but we were near the door and it was left wide open and it was very cold so we asked politely if the door could be closed, and another table had also said they were cold, but we were told that it couldn't be shut because the kitchen staff wouldn't like it as they were hot in the kitchen!!!! Surely they must have had a back door they could leave open or a fan they could put on. Goodness knows what will happen in the depths of winter but fortunately we won't know as we don't intend to return. We then went to the lovely Canal Cottages cafe in Draycott and had a lovely meal with good customer service. Plus it was lovely and warm on a cold...

SO glad I visited here today with a good friend of mine. I found it on Google maps...!!! Such delicious food , with a very good quality and taste to it. I had garlic mushrooms on sourdough toast , with a poached egg on top, and lots of lovely fresh rocket. My friend had a lovely brown sourdough with a blend of very tasty cheeses on top of it - we both loved our food...😋😋😋. The desserts and cakes are to die for, my friend had a piece of a "triple layer victoria sponge", and I had a piece of "blueberry & lemon sponge" to take away, with me... Coffees were also 👌👌👌👌👌 excellent. Staff were very helpful and friendly, too... 🥰🥰👍👍. Would definitely recommend this place for breakfast, brunch, & lunch...👍👍👍 Amazing...!! You can also reserve a table in advance, to make sure you get a seat, when it's busy....👌👌Visited again with 2 other friends today (12/9/24 - it's still as busy , and as good food as ever....👍👍👍 Gets SO very busy, it's good that you can reserve...

It was recommended we try Fintons because my partner is a coeliac. They had plenty of options for lunch and breakfast - we had lunch. My partner had a BLT with added sausages (the kitchen were impressed with his ambition) I had a cheese and ham ploughmans (option to swap the ham for brie) This came with a DELICIOUS homemade cheese scone instead of crackers which was actually my reason for choosing it! Both lunches came with a side salad and delicious homemade coleslaw. Even my partner liked it and he generally isn't keen. We had pudding to take away because we were both so full from our lunch! There was a selection of 9 cakes with 3 of them being GF. My partner had a chocolate brownie (his favourite) but they also had banana loaf and coffee&caramel cake. I brought home some chocolate&orange cake. The staff were wonderful, friendly and helpful. Will definitely revisit and would very much recommend other people try it...
