Unfortunately I have to give a star but honestly it wouldn’t be the case! Having had to wait for a doctor we decided to sit & have a coffee & a bite to eat. Unfortunately myself & my mum had a coffee & a muffin each. My son then decided to have a cake, once queuing we noticed 2 flies floating about the cake counter then one in particular settling on a couple of the cakes, obviously we were put off but continued in the queue as he had a drink to pay for, he was hungry & I said to have a cake from the other counter which he did, when served I asked for a cake from underneath. This was got & we paid. I DID say to the lady that there were flies in the other cake counter & did they not have a way to cover things over. She replied unfortunately there’s nothing we can do & we don’t do that & shrugged her shoulders, this was while a few of her colleagues were staring at me & my son. I wasn’t rude about it just letting them know. Meanwhile I hasten to add there was some kind of work going on by the first cake stand & it didn’t look very hygienic.

I wasn’t impressed by the staff’s attitudes & the whole experience really, it’s not good enough, we are...

Now the cafe was only open about 2hrs before I got there and this around the table is days old, clearly showing they DO NOT pull the tables out and mop the floor after closing time. This is a hospitality place and hygiene is paramount, especially in a hospital. Do your job abd clean the floors. Food great...
Read moreI love a bit of cake with my coffee and would normally have americano with raspberry & almond slice. I was on a short break so that’s what I was going to order and collect. Am I glad I didn’t. The flies around the cakes not refrigerated no doors to protect them. The mess on all the surfaces they lucky I purchased coffee. Not good, they are stressed and I get it but two staff both look like they were done. I’ll get my cake from town and bring it to work with me rather than be subjected to that. I like love in my food even when I’m not the...
