Where does one start to praise Randallās Coffee and Wine Bar in Lightwater? We used this gorgeous intimate venue on Saturday night for a 60th birthday celebration. From the outset, nothing was too much trouble for Viv and her team. They managed all the drink and food supply to perfection. Nothing was wasted, replenishing the delicious platters as necessary, covering all the drink requirements from soft, non alcoholic to spirits and hot drinks. A budget was agreed and strictly adhered to. Nobody went without a drink all night. Viv made sure of this discreetly and without any fuss. Upon arrival the venue was beautifully dressed with pretty lights, accessories, music and tables arranged for eating and drinking. The outside area was cordoned off with notices advising a private party and a welcome sign for guests. All our guests gushed about the service, delicious food, lovely staff and venue. It was truly the perfect setting for a lovely informal celebration. An absolute asset to Lightwater village by day for coffee, cakes, etc and evenings as a wine bar. Great choice of wines, beers and other drinks. Fantastic sharing boards and platters catering for everyone i.e. vegetarians and severe allergies and very reasonably priced - delicious. What more can one say except thank you, thank you, thank you. You really made our celebration...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreMe and my 2 girls unexpectedly came across Randall's Coffee & Wine as we had broken down on the M3 on our long journey home back to Dorset. As you can imagine the situation was pretty stressful but Viv and Helen were so kind and lovely towards us. The hospitality they showed us really helped my kids relax which really helped me arrange a solution to get us back home. They were more than accommodating towards us allowing us to sit in, charge my phone and use their WiFi so I could make a 1,000 calls to get us home safely. The food was delicious and the kids loved the treats! Thank you guys so much for being such lovely people towards a stranger in need of help. Myself and my kids left feeling very warm and grateful for coming across Viv and Helen in Randall's...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreThe coffee can be variable, sometimes really good, sometimes watery. Think the latter is rare but there needs to be a process to check the beans aren't exhausted or whatever causes the watery cups of coffee. Pretty sure they will replace if asked but sometimes you just can't be bothered to go through the motions for that. Generally very good place.
Thank you for your reply, it was this morning, Sunday, the coffee was Americano around 9.40. Usually the coffee is very good, just occasionally a problem. I shall definitely speak up next time rather than be lazy....
