The Wotton Coffee Shop — Restaurant in Stroud

Had a very strange experience here yesterday. Me and my partner ordered two cream teas and sat in the nice garden at the back. When the tea arrived every single piece of crockery had food residue on it, presumably from the dishwasher. Not wanting to cause too much of a fuss, we decided to put up with the dirty teapot, milk jug et cetera, but I went into the café to politely ask if they would replace the cups. The man behind the counter (I’m assuming the owner) seemed very affronted by this, insisted that they were clean and grudgingly gave us some replacements asking me to inspect them to make sure they were up to my standards.

When the scones arrived, they had clearly been microwaved, which is a strange thing to do to a scone I think, and when I opened my pot of clotted cream, it had a very strange texture. I looked on the lid and noticed that the use by date was the 24th of January (three months ago). It smelt rancid and so we decided we would leave.

We told the man about the cream situation at which point he became very angry, insisting that there was nothing wrong with it and that the use by date was irrelevant as the cream had been frozen and defrosted, which I suppose accounts for the texture.

The menu is basic but perfectly fine for a good pot of tea and a coffee, my children loved the banana milkshakes with cream and marshmallows. We will...

Sorry but the food here today was awful. Maybe they were having a bad day, but we ordered full english and all the fried items tasted like the oil used to fry them was old, the beans were tepid, the butter was rancid. We waited 40 minutes for this to arrive which they apologised for and said was because of short staff, so fair enough. Lovely garden out back and dog friendly, hence gets 2...
