Petite Delice — Restaurant in Gateshead

Dined in earlier on this week with 4 other family members. Portion sizes for a jacket potato with corned beef and onion was dry and was tiny could have been served to a child with a measly side salad priced at around £5-£6 I don’t know the price exactly as I wasn’t given a receipt. My daughters adult sized quiche was tiny too again cold in the middle and boiling hot round the edges, with a measly side salad and a few random tortilla chips. This too was priced around £5-£6 mark The scones were decent sized and tasted nice but had to wait 10 mins for the jam we ordered when placing the order which when it came was a portion of one tiny bowl for three scones and by the time they had waited for it coming they had all ate half of their scone each so was pointless. The waiter who served us made us feel like we were a bother to him that day. Unfriendly, didn’t smile once or thank us for our custom or ask if everything was okay with our order. We just didn’t like his attitude at all. A few of us ordered soft drinks which had came from a can in the fridge next to the entrance these had been poured into a glass before coming to the table with no ice and a £2.60ish price tag too which I find to be extortionate. We thought by coming here it would be helping a small business in this economy especially given the amount of food restaurants in metrocentre we could have chosen instead…. but we won’t be returning again. We didn’t think the £30.40 price tag reflected in the food we were served or service we received. Disappointing as years ago it was bustling cafe which used to...

I called in after a shopping trip for some lunch. I come regularly and Anna who works there is always so welcoming and smiley. It is table service so I took a seat inside. I waited for the young girl to come and take my order however she took the order for a table that came in after me. I waited another 10 minutes but she never came, Anna was in the kitchen extremely busy. So I went up and spoke to the man that was there. He said to take a seat and that his colleague would come when she was ready. He seemed very angry and was really abrupt. Anna heard what was happening and said to me that if I went back to my seat she would send Mya straightway to take my order. When my drink was brought to me it was cold (cappuccino). Anna brought out my food which was nice and hot and very tasty. She then made me my cappuccino which was nice and hot. She seemed to be doing the job of everyone but she was still so happy and smiley. The man is very arrogant. Mya was nice and Anna as...

Used to visit this cafe years ago and was always happy with the service so called in for lunch last week. What a huge disappointment. I had a toasted ham and cheese sandwich. The ham was tinned, the texture was awful. My friend had the full English breakfast, he said the sausage was awful. The young waitress was lovely but the lady who seemed to be in charge was rude. We asked for the bill and she said for us to go inside to pay. She didn't even look at us while totalling up our bill. She was having a conversation with a young guy who seemed to be a relative. Not once did she speak or make eye contact. I advised her we were paying separately. She seemed annoyed and said she would need to void everything and start again. If she had acknowledged us at the till we would have told her but she was too busy with her conversation. We definitely...
