The Meeting Place — Restaurant in Sheffield

The food is usually if good standards. The coffee delicious. Staff and the owners are always lovely and friendly.

However this is not the most oiled engine of efficiency. The standards of delivering the food are atrocious.

The meeting place opened and me and the wife thought we'd try it 2 years ago... Our first experience was terrible. How can one get a sausage and cheese sandwich wrong and take 30 mins to get it. My meal was ready before the sandwich and so we ate seperatly. The owner did give us our drinks For free to make amends.

I have taken the children in several times since and it's been fine.

However. I've been twice this week.

The first experience this week was taking our daughter for breakfast. I waited 40 mins for our food to arrive. They had taken too many orders and couldn't keep up but kept the customers at the tables waiting whilst people collected their sandwich orders.

Both times I've waited more than 30 mins for our food to arrive.

The biggest insult was this.

A builder or handy man was doing some work for the owner.

He arrived after me and my family.

We ordered promptly. Our drinks arrived.

Then ten mins later the owner then placed the builders breakfast on an empty table right begind us when we ready waited 20 mins.

I kept seeing people turn up for a takeaway sandwich and leave withing 5 or ten mins whilst me and my family sat and waited whilst the owner fed the handy man.

25 mins wait, I started to become impatient after the conduct of the owner. He may not have realised that feeding his handyman before a paying customer thst had been waiting now 30 mins might have upset the customer. It did. Enough to not want to go back ever. I may order a takeaway sandwich Me and the family won't be back.

My wife was sceptical about going but I said give it chance they were really busy.

I put the first day down to things starting to open backnup and the shop being in high demand. But to ha R the same experience when there was no one else there re enforces that they cant run a piss up in a brewery.

Today it was empty. Except the takeaway service.

If the cafe cannot keep up with the demand of people eating in then in shouldnt be a cafe. It should be a takeaway. Its a real shame Because the owners are really lovely people and starting the cafe in the village is a great thing.

However they missed the target on the cafe.

I don't know if there is a new cook in there or what but whatever has changed is defo not a good thing. Such a shame I feel I've had to write this review Becuase the people are so lovely. But being nice...

If I could give 10 stars then the meeting place would get the lot! The staff in there are second to non, welcoming on the ball and very polite. It is the heart of the village the name meeting place is spot on the mark perfect for that get together and catch up over some beautiful food or just a pot of tea or a cup of coffee kids are welcome with there own menu to choose from high chairs provided for the toddlers and colouring books the keep there occupied. A wide range of food is then the meny from a breakfast to the specials, Make that visit take a look what the meeting place has to offer you wont be...

Just finished eating one of the nicest cooked breakfasts I’ve ever had. Their Brunch Breakfast had Good quality bacon & sausage cooked to perfection. Scrambled eggs were perfectly fluffy and beans were a nice consistency, the toast was perfect and chips were also a nice addition.

My girlfriend had a lighter option of a jacket potato and side salad and gave high praise to the potato and freshness of the salad.

Two meals and two drinks for less then £15 was a bargain, will definitely be...
