Lynwood & Co Burford — Restaurant in West Oxfordshire

I was excited to try this place while on holiday in the Cotswolds, looked cute from the outside, managed to find a table pretty easily, it was dog friendly which were a bonus, however the table was dirty, the service was just ok, not particularly happy or friendly as some of the other reviews suggested, but we were offered a dog treat which was nice. I had a really nice lunch - the Reuben grilled sandwich, that was lovely, but my friend had a shakshuka which usually comes with eggs that are poached in the mixture of tomatoes, bell peppers, onions, and garlic. but this had a fried egg on top and had a very strong taste of anise seed, maybe fennel, which isn't usually found in this kind of dish and perhaps should be notified on the menu like the fennel sausage roll is. when my friend mentioned it, that was met with an ok thanks response. no empathy for...

Being a dog owner myself I am all for dog friendly establishments, but this...

UPDATE

After a kind gesture and an apology from Rob, I have to change my review and give 5 stars. The highest value for me is the owner's efforts to correct the staff's mistakes, even though it wasn't his fault.

I love the story of the Lynwood cafe, so when we were planning our trip to the Cotswolds, we had to visit the cafe in Burford.

First impression was great, HOWEVER the foreign lady who served us was incredibly rude. Also the tables were dirty (crumbs etc.).

Such a shame as the cafe is in a lovely location and is beautiful in its own right.

FOOD We had four meals that were great, except for one...
