Oaks Park Cafe — Restaurant in London

DO NOT READ GOOD REVIEWS

I seriously don’t believe this is under new and better management. There was one girl running between two tills and the wait for food advertised was 40 minutes.

We asked if we could go for a walk in the park while we wait for our food and she said this was fine,be back in 30 minutes to be safe.

We arrived back after 25 minutes and sat and waited for our food. 20 minutes after that still no food so my mum went in to ask.

They said they brought the food out after 30 minutes and we weren’t there so they threw it in the bin! No apology and tried to suggest we were wrong about ours times. She then asked her colleague “did she tell you she was going to be wandering off?” in a very rude manner. My mum replied “no, we went for a walk as we agreed”. We luckily got a refund but wow. Shocking. I am amazed some people work in retail/customer facing roles and I feel sorry for the staff that probably get a lot of abuse due to the poor management here.

Girl at the till made a nice mocha which can...

This place is an absolute GEM. A stunning cafe in beautiful surroundings with extraordinarily good and varied menu for a café. E.g. Just for the burgers (let alone other food), there's a choice of 6 or 7 types, from vegan to meat. Whoever heard of THAT? And the food and service is EXCELLENT. With a drink, a meal will probably cost £9 to £13.

Beautifully designed light and airy cafe where even the roof can be retracted. Lots of seating outside in lovely sylvan shade. Plenty of tables but not at all overbearing.

The atmosphere is wonderful. V dog friendly. Doggie ice cream and even free (I think) doggie sticks.

People love it, and I'm not surprised.

Whoever created this has turned arun-downn little cafe into a little paradise. Good job 👏👏👏

And the park is wonderful too with shadey walks and open areas. Ample parking. What's not to like?

This is my 2nd visit. Even though this place is right out of my way, I have just got to keep...

Managed to get a big table for a large group of us fairly well on a bank holiday Monday. There was a 30min wait for food which was advertised in advance of ordering. Everyone's food came apart from mine which they said was on the way. 15mins later I went to ask at the till as most people had already finished on my table at this point. I then asked where it was and they said I could have it to takeaway as the kids had already gone outside I agreed. When my takeaway lasagne came after waiting another 10mins. The waitress said here's your food and just left. I had just the lasagne without the salad and chips I had paid for. I waited at the till for another 10mins to complain and was just ignored by waitresses and staff. Left feeling disappointed by the service, upset I didn't get what I paid for and ignored as a customer. I had previously had a good experience but today left me not wanting...
