Anne of Cleves in South Hams

Although this cafe looks old and unloved the lunch was amazing. My cream tea had a freshly baked scone and the rarebit was the best I have had . The staff were very friendly and we were moved to a nicer table when someone left . Reasonably priced as well . Would definitely return

Can't think of a more dire, grim cafe in such a vibrant town of Totnes! Out dated, overpowering smell of damp, & no atmosphere. Arrogant bosses that clearly lack any understanding with their staff & it shows, which is embarrassing! Nothing special here....

Mum and I are so delighted to have found this spot. The staff/ owners are amazing and the food was heaven - the best scones I have ever had. Couldn’t recommend highly enough!

After completing the Torbay Parkrun my wife and I needed a good Brunch and that is exactly what we got. We had previously been to this restaurant for afternoon tea so we were keen to return. On arrival we were greeted with a smile and seated by a lovely young lady. After looking at the menu I chose the scrambled eggs and smoked salmon on a muffin and my wife had a cream tea. The food was excellent as you can see in the picture, one of the best breakfasts that i have had. The service was also great, we met the owner of 8 years who is a really nice chap, and realised that the lady we first met was the manager. Thank you, we will return.

We had a cream tea on Saturday they were busy but the service was still very good but I have to say the scones freshly made on that day on the premises were the best I’ve had and I’ve had afternoon tea at some amazing places but they really stood out Oh and there was plenty of clotted cream Definatly going back

We used to be regulars at this place but the new owners have now driven away all their regulars (see other reviews) with their verbal abuse of their customers. On a recent visit for simply tea and a slice of cake, (should be simple for even the most incompetent cafe!), after taking our order, the tea eventually arrived but no cake. After another long wait I enquired as to where the cake was which we would have preferred to have with the tea! The response from the so called ''manager'' was astounding. She yelled at us '' I cannot force my waitress to cut a piece of cake'' ! and then asked us to leave as we were ''being critical''! We did......never to return until this business inevitably goes bust and some new owners who understand the meaning of ''hospitality'' take over. Meanwhile best to avoid this place and give your money to the many other cafes in Totnes who will appreciate your custom.

We had lovely crab sandwiches for lunch and enjoyed them very much. There was a couple there who were unhappy about their tea not arriving and they were very rude and arrogant to the owner and the staff. It was a real relief when they were asked to leave, as the other reviewer commented.

A very good lunch, including a fine Welsh rarebit, and friendly service (they were short staffed, but that's true of the whole English hospitality industry). One customer started to be offensive to the staff, and was asked to leave, which he did, threatening to write a negative review. Once he had gone, my sense was that everyone around us was very happy.

I have been to Anne of Cleves twice recently and the salmon, cream cheese and cucumber sandwich is very good. My friend enjoyed the generous helping of apple pie, too. We found the service to be polite and pleasant, even though they were clearly busy.

Absolutely gobsmacked at the smell of mould as soon as I entered the man who runs the place has no sense of manners and must be crazy to think people would pay for the poor quality food at the prices they are! Spoke to a young lady who recently worked for them and was let go due to “not enough business” which is quite ironic really! The way this cafe speaks to their staff is worrying and actually abit sad considering all they need is happy staff to keep that place not looking half as bad as it is! As I over heard a lady talking to a member of staff… It’s too dark in there to really feel like you’re having a happy experience and the cafe just opposite offers nice lighting and a positive atmosphere! At this point boy cott that cafe it’s been running for too long and can’t seem to up it game, time for a change I think.

Small dingy cafe on the high street sticks out like a sore thumb as it’s no where near right vibe for totnes town. No allergen list which is ILLEGAL, but my French friend on holiday had to try a typical English lunch so we went all out and I regret it with all my heart. A lady in there once took sooo long to bring out what they call a “queens tea” About 40 mins whilst training staff to show them how it’s done it cost us just under 50 pounds for the most pathetic sandwiches and scones that were so stale I literally just wanted to eat and get on with my day but ended up being stuck. the quietness was painful and awkward. In other words this place was appalling. I told a lady when I left to train HERSELF with manners and she had none. Felt bad for staff.

This place used to be ok some years ago. Popped in for a coffee and something to eat while passing by but was put off by the mouldy smell as you walk in. Dirty tables and in need of a good scrub. Had a quick coffee and left

I visited with a friend. The waiter wasn’t very welcoming and gave the table a cursory wipe with a grubby cloth. It could have done with a proper wash and the floor next to the wall looked like it needed a good vacuum. Some shelves near the door and cakes were very dusty too, and there was a distinct smell of mould. We were shocked to see that cream and jam were charged as extras, as we have never seen this elsewhere. The cappuccino was enjoyable though surprisingly small. We asked to share a piece of cake but were only given one plate and serviette, and no knife to cut it, though they did manage to stretch to two forks. The cake was pleasant, though not the best of carrot cakes. My friend said the toilets were found wanting. Having walked past this tea room many times over the years, with its inviting display of cakes in the window, it was a disappointment to actually experience it. We felt it was over-priced and the staff clearly need further training. Luckily, we later found the Tamarind Tree, which is a gem and their staff are superb!

Good selection of teas and delicious looking cakes, but when asked about allergens, specifically lupin, two staff had never heard of it and could not produce an allergens menu for the cakes we were interested in. Very friendly about it, but it’s the law to have an allergens list!

We ordered a toastie, two cakes and a scone. It was all delicious! The staff were lovely. The next time we’re back in Totnes we’ll have to visit again.

Visting Totnes and thought we would pop in as we were passing for some light lunch and a drink . Found the owner very rude ,self centred ,arrogant and spoke to his female partner infront of customers like she was something he had brought in from the street on the bottom of his shoe. Place very old smells damp and fusty tables all sticky. Feel like I needed a tetanus jab when I came out of the place. No manners what so ever . Food wasn’t worth at least half of what it’s priced at by any means . Seem to cover the fact of small hardly un edible portion with salad to make it look bigger which is bland and not fresh. TOTAL DISSATISFIED AND DISGUSTING BY SERVICE AND FOOD . Would advise no one to go in or give the bloke a penny of their hard earned cash.

A lovely, delightful ‘old fashioned’ looking tea room with lots of beams. I had cappuccino with lemon/blueberry cake which was so moist and tasty. Generous size too - took half away with me. The cafe was constantly busy with two people taking orders, preparing food and collecting payment. They were very efficient and totally unflappable. Well done. BTW their crab sandwiches seemed very popular.

Friendly welcome and service from the staff on duty The lady was helpful,and the man was attentive We both had crab sandwiches...they were superb.. Although we didn't try them..the home made cakes looked out of this world

What a lovely find in Totnes! My son and I came in for lunch as we were having a day out for my birthday. Couldn't of picked a nicer tearoom. Staff were so friendly and we had a long chat with Nashima ( not sure if I have that right!). We liked it so much we went back later for a cup of tea and my son had a gluten free scone. When we went to pay, Nashima wouldn't let us pay, she said it was a treat for my birthday! How kind is that?!! She was very helpful as my son is coeliac, and there was plenty of choice for him. We will definitely be visiting again as lunch was really good. It added to a lovely day out. Highly recommend eating here!!

My wife and her friend went here for lunch today and had a shocking experience!! Apparently it was very busy, but having to wait for almost an hour for a jacket potato and cheese on toast is very poor service. When they asked a member of staff about the wait, they were told "well if you don't like it you can go!"!! They even had to ask more than once for the bill, and when my wife's friend expressed her desire to complain about the service after paying, the chap (owner/chef perhaps) just completely ignored her!! It certainly seems to have changed a lot since I last visited, which was some time ago - and definitely not for the better!! STEER CLEAR - there are plenty of other eateries in the main street!!

There are some lovely places to eat in Totnes, sadly this isn't one of them! The owner and presumably his Manageress couldn't have been ruder to myself and my friend. After waiting over 50 mins for a jacket potato and cheese on toast, when we politely enquired when our food would be coming we were told its got to be cooked, well I would hope so, and if we didn't like it we could leave, I wish we had! When the food came it was awful, low quality, rock hard and over priced. Then we couldn't even pay as no one would even look at us, clear our table, ask if the food was OK or if we wanted anything else. By the time we did pay we tried to inform the owner of the rudeness of his manager but he wasn't interested and just talked over us. Both of them were incredibly rude and ignorant. DO NOT waste your money in this establishment, there's far better in Totnes and if they continue to treat their customers in such a rude and appalling manner then they won't survive!

The owner and staff couldn't have been any more welcoming. Lovely food including the best Welsh Rarebit I have ever had. Please ignore the negative comments, this place is fantastic.

Fab Devon cream tea and such lovely service. Loved the Victoria Sponge too Traditional and just what we were looking for. Fab scone. Loved it.

Rude, condescending and sarcastic owner/ man serving. Everything was expensive and done as very shabbily. The scones were hard as rock and so dry A tiny pot of clotted cream ( had to pay extra for this!) and £6.00 for a slice of dry cake. An extremely uncomfortable and tense atmosphere- the man was talking to people in such a rude way. Many dirty tables, sticky filthy menus and a dark depressing atmosphere pervaded! We went as a special trip and we all found the experience very negative and very depressing Sugar sachets were not provided and when I asked for some he said ‘ needy!’ Loudly so much so that other customers turned around Dirty trays left on sticky tables I couldn’t wait to get out of there The young lady who took the card payment was sweet I would never return and we all talked about what a horrible place it was on the way home! A couple were turned away despite there being an empty table! ( they were two and the available table was for four!) The most unpleasant man, so rude and really nasty I never normally write reviews but I am astonished this man is still trading ‘ barely there milk’ in the milk jug ( I was too frightened to ask for more because of his sarcasm) Two sachets of sugar Barely any clotted cream ONLY ONE CUP PROVIDED FOR A POT OF TEA! ( I asked for another but he refused, even though my disabled uncle couldn’t pick up the tea cup ONLY one napkin provided! I had to ask for another and given just one of the cheapest nastiest napkin Dirty toilet Avoid avoid!!!!

One of worst scones we ever had and the owner was talking about dog mess while we was eating. And expensive too

Two ladies nearing 80 years old, running out of puff half way up the hill, took refuge in Anne of Cleves for sustenance. So pleased that we did. Lovely toasted sandwich with a little salad and superb honey and mustard dressing (our choice of dressing)....

What a lovely experience at Anne of Cleves. Super service and I had a good cup of coffee and chose from a very big range of fantastic home made cakes. It was superb. Genteel and peaceful,fabulous.

Professional with a light touch and the best apple pie I've ever had. I don't think they've heard of portion control!

Stopped off here as we wanted a proper tea and cake. All homemade cakes and loose tea available, and the setting was in an old type place with sloping ceilings and beams. We had the egg sandwiches, and toasted ham and cheese sandwich. All served...

What a gem! There aren’t many places like this left. Fabulous cream teas, scones and cakes to die for. An all around pleasant experience. We will be back!

We had two sandwich meals both come with a salad garnish and coleslaw. The coleslaw seemed home made. I always like extra salad garnish and ordered a side salad. The young waitress said yes and placed the order. The extra salad was in a small dish containing mixed salad leaves and about 2 cherry tomatoes cut in half.We had a pot of tea for one and ordered a large cappuccino. The meal was enjoyed and then I asked for the bill, I said I would pay by card and the card machine was presented with an amount of £32.55. I had to ask for the bill! The amount seemed a lot for crab sandwich, cheese and tomatoes sandwich and the extra side garnish plus tea and coffee. When the bill arrived I had been charged £6.95 for the extra garnish, the cost of a meal in itself. I was then told the extra salad was not on the menu! The waitress never queried my request. The amount of extra garnish was the equivalent that my wife had with her cheese and tomatoes that cost £7.95. So effectively her cheese and tomato sandwich only really cost £1.00. When I queried it it was though I was in the wrong for asking for something not on the menu,The manager said "I have to charge you something!" which I agreed, he then offered to reduce the amount by £2.00. Which I told him to stick in staff tips. I felt that this part of the meal was a complete rip off!! I will not be going back and I will be advising friends and visitors to Devon to avoid this once happy and pleasant eatery.

Popped in for a late lunch. Ordered a crab sandwich, amazing. also ordered scrambled egg with cream and flaked ham on a muffin. Delicious. Service on the ball. Well worth a visit,

Popped in for some breakfast as had an early appointment in Totnes. No breakfast food available apart from some ham and eggs.We settled on some toast for our daughter and shared a scone and tea between us. Waiting staff didn’t seem overly experienced and waited till everything had been served before asking if we wanted fruit or plain scones, and then popping back to see if we wanted it warmed. No jam served with it. I don’t think we’ll be returning as the whole experience wasn’t great, very dated interior and service to up to scratch.

We called in to get a coffee before doing a walk last week. On seeing the lovely cakes in the window my husband and I decided to have a piece of carrot cake to share. Admittedly we did not check the price first but when the bill came it was £5.50 for the cake. We were a bit horrified and questioned the cost. We were told it was because all the prices of the ingredients had gone up. We are fully aware of increased costs and the need for businesses to recoup there lost income due to the pandemic. However, since going to the Anne of Cleaves we have been to several cafes and had some beautiful home made cakes none anywhere near as expensive. It does seem a shame as the coffee was very nice and reasonable.

Stopped in for afternoon tea at Anne of Cleves today, it has a very old world and charming interior, almost expected Miss Marple to be having tea and scones on the next table.Friendly and welcoming service, had celebration afternoon tea, lovely sandwiches, two huge scones and big slices of the most amazing cake, all home made on the premises. Was far too much to eat and so a box was offered to take away the extra.A lovely treat, that should be visited.

A lovely quaint cafe on the main high street where we received a warm welcome. Lovely cream tea and excellent coffee. The cakes in the window looked very inviting and well deserved after a walk up the hill !

We stopped for a coffee and cake. It was absolutely lovely. My wife had the cream tea. She said that the scone was the loveliest she had ever tasted! It came with lots of clotted cream and jam. I had a slice of Victoria sponge. It was home made, very moist and it was a very large slice! So very tasty.But on top of the lovely food I must say what brilliant service we received from our waitress -I’m so sorry I didn’t get her name. My wife need the toilet, but the ladies is situated upstairs. She does have mobility issues and uses a stick, on noticing this, the waitress suggested my wife use the gents - which is in the ground floor. With that, she went and checked it was empty, got some cleaning stuff, gave it a quick clean, and then called my wife over. That really is going the extra mile to deliver outstanding customer service

This is the best tearoom in the world. Nobody can convince me otherwise. It is perfect in every single way.

We stopped for cake and tea. The interior is very dated and reminds you of your granny's living room and has the Victorian parlour feel. The welcome was warm and the cakes we had were just excellent , my wife who is a real baker was very complimentary , my apple tart with pouring cream was lovely .

in an article for Best Cream Teas in Devon. Excellent fresh and warm scone, lashings of cream and jam served in proper china serving dishes. Lovely looking cakes on display.

Still as good on our last visit some 4 years back!! Great cakes and lose leaf teas. Spaced tables for covid!

Really dated inside. Could majorly do with a redecoration. Was really off putting as people were coming in and going straight upstairs. Loads of noise from up there too which was annoying. Found out later that there is a beauty salon up there. Waitress gave us a drinks menu but no food menu so we were not really sure what was available. Had a cream tea and a piece of cake. Scones were the shape of rock cakes and Victoria sponge was really really dry. Avoid the cake!All cakes are in the window which probably makes them a bit dry. Scones tasted ok and plenty of cream and jam. Not the best experience of afternoon tea I have had

Some time since I tried this place out. It stuck in my mind though, for the wrong reasons. Drawn in by the cakes in the window. I recall what I had being a bit dry. The other person with me said similar. A real shame as Totnes has some amazing independent food places.

Popped in for coffee and cake ended up having sandwich and cream tea. All excellent tasty and cakes home made. What will stop you is the selection of cakes in the window. Owner and staff very nice and wiping down everything in view of C19 virus. Gave us sea food recommendation which was a great idea.

We both had the best almond slices we have ever had Would be there every week If I did not live so far away Staff very helpful

Quaint traditional tearoom in the middle of a lot of other contemporary cafes and restaurants, but given its name, what else could it be?The home made soup was first class - sweet corn chowder served with a large chunk of bread. The display of cakes in the window was so tempting but they weren’t covered so they had probably been gathering dust all day. Such a shame because they looked delicious.

Had lunch, food was excellent along with cake & coffee. A lovely place and will definitely go back again.

Lovely cakes and flat white coffee. I had almond (bakewell type without icing) slide which was awesome. Friendly service. Even the (male) toilet was quaint!

There was something terribly old fashioned about this establishment but the cream tea we had was excellent.The service was first class and the value was undoubted. Will definitely visit again if we find ourselves in wonderful Totnes again.

Through the very old latice windows the wonderful display of homemade cakes draws one to enter and order a slice and they offer varid teas and coffees in the most wonderful sense of history of this lovely old building in Totnes.

We had lunch here today, we discussed that the Toasted Sandwich was the best we have ever had, it was well presented, with quality and quantity ingredients, all the staff were friendly and polite, nice atmosphere. The only down side, was the fact lunch filled so well, we did not any room to sample the wonderful array of cakes, so will have to return

Really nice cream tea with huge scones and plenty of cream and jam. The scones were perfectly made and so tasty. This place is a great little find in Totnes, thoroughly enjoyed and would recommend

One of our regular places for a snack when visiting Totnes. Quiet old English ambience and the home-made cakes are delicious. Reasonable prices and friendly staff. Service is slow at times but Totnes is not a place to rush.

During a recent visit to Devon and Totnes, my wife and I looked in at this lovely tea room. The welcome and service was excellent only surpassed by the amazing Apple pie served warm with ice cream. Absolutely delicious.

We visited Totnes while exploring this part of the Devon coast and were drawn in by the lovely looking cakes in the window. There were various tea and cake places on the main street, but this one in particular caught our eye as the most appealing.

I visited Totnes for the first time yesterday with my Mum, Sister and Auntie. As per usual, the first thing we did on a day out is go for coffee and a snack. We came in here as it looked inviting. It was fairly quiet and we managed to easily get a table and were served fairly quickly by a smiling young waitress.

We stopped here for a cream tea. The restaurant is very nice, comfortable seating in a traditional setting. The waitresses are very friendly. The cream tea with scones was very good. Their own type of breakfast tea was good. Prices were very reasonable.

This is a really nice place to come friendly and welcoming the food is really nice and no waiting around.Great dressing for your side salad.Saw a lot of different meals COMING OUT while there and all looked good.Just have to add one thing the ladies loo is not good needs to be decorated and fixed up.This won't stop me from COMING back just won't use there loo.

We are a local and live in Torbay and visit Totnes often.

What a delight - a proper Devonshire cream tea in the most traditional surroundings. The only sound to accompany you is the conversation of other guests and the sound of cutlery on crockery. This is like stepping into another age where manners matter and service is all. Please visit this tea room, it will revive your soul as well as satisfy your hunger.

Anne of Cleves cooked breakfast and Salmon Brunch come highly recommended. Fresh cakes in the window to choose from. Friendly/attentive staff.

We arrived in Totnes by the South Devon Steam Railway and after walking into town needed a coffee and a scone. The lady who served us was very pleasant and the drink and food arrived shortly after and that was well received.

We popped in for a cup of tea and a slice of cake. I had a huge piece of Victoria sponge and my wife had chocolate fudge cake. A nice cup of tea and both cakes were lovely and moist. Great service too.

It was the display of cakes in the window that drew us in! On our visit to Devon I was intent of having a crab sandwich and they made these too. The sandwich was sublime! We were told the crab was fresh that morning and it tasted so clean and juicy. Accompanied by a salad and coleslaw. Husband had the haddock fish cakes which he said was good too. We didn’t need the cakes afterwards, but we couldn’t resist! A slice of the huge Victoria sponge and the moist almond slice. Delicious! There are several places to eat in this town but you won’t be disappointed if you choose this one.

We came out for brunch. The eggs were plentiful and all cooked to perfection. We had a choice of bread and the amount we wanted.

Mooching around the shops we saw the cakes in the window and that was that!

Best egg and chips I've had for a very long time. The quiche salad was also excellent. Quality little restaurant with friendly and efficient staff. A credit to Totnes.

Had a late breakfast here. High quality ingredients, well cooked and friendly service with reasonable prices.

This is a really quaint cafe serving excellent food and the staff really friendly. Well worth a visit and good value.

We went here twice in the 5 days we were in Totnes. They could not have been more welcoming. We had a 3 year old with us and she was allowed to ‘help’ the waitress folding napkins, bringing our bill and the card machine. The second time although the food service had finished for the day, they very kindly made her sandwiches and chips.

Carrot cake was Brill tea,coffee,very nice As well.the young ladies where very pleasant well worth a visit

Cafe looked attractive from the outside and I was looking forward to treating myself to morning coffee but the man serving (presumably owner) was condescending and rude. Coffee was fine but scone was like a brick and was too sweet to eat – as if it was made by somebody who had never tasted a scone. Owner seemed to feel he was doing me a favour by serving me. I felt so uncomfortable I just bolted my coffee and left. What a disappointment!

I am sorry to have to write this but hopefully the establishment will take note of my concerns and observations.

I had the best piece of Victoria Sponge ever, with some lovely latte. The staff are friendly and attentive and I would recommend a visit if you find yourself in Totnes.

Most of us chose lunch here but the menu allowed for breakfast as well. We are not sure what happened with the breakfast, but it didn't arrive with our other meals so my son-in-law just had to wait. The meals were all tasty and the milkshakes were excellent. My daughter had a lovely ploughman's lunch with a great selection of cheeses. The cakes in the window all looked delicious but we didn't have room for any treats after we'd eaten our meals.

Average cream tea. Scone crumbled and the jam tasted very cheap. Nice staff though. My husband had the crab sandwich which he loved.

My husband and I went for lunch here. The staff were friendly and service was good. The food was tasty and didn’t have to wait long at all. A lovely tea rooms a nice place very quaint.

Arrived and sat down and was promptly handed a menu. The breakfast was expensive but decided to try it. If you are going to charge for a premium breakfast at least get it right. The Sausages were over cooked and dry and my partner could not even cut hers. Although it was replaced with a freshly cooked one. Which just showed they could cook them properly. We had to ask for butter to go with the toast. The tomato’s still has their stalks attached. Over all over priced and not worth the premium price. Shall avoid this place in the future.

we live at trusham and have had the best cream tea we have ever had . we have been unable to eat scones at many other places because of them being over baked and dry . these scones were soft and absolutely delicious with lots of jam and cream , the coffee was also very good and the service was excellent and caring . the owner was a really nice person and we shall certainly be going back kind regards susan and peter Chittenden .

My favourite in Totnes! Ignore the recent critical comments! I have always found both the food and the service very good! Always greeted with a smile and attentive service! The cakes look very tempting, and apple pie is delicious! Cosy, warm and friendly!

Nobody seems to know what they are doing! S-L-O-W service and don't seem to hang on to their staff - waited FOREVER just for a black coffee - I could've flown and picked the beans and ground them myself quicker! Seating not the best - people bump into your chair when they are coming in and out

Poor service in several aspects:

We visited this cafe earlier today and were seated quickly, the table was cleaned and menus provided. However, it went downhill from there..we watched other people come in and be served while we sat waiting for our order to be taken. Staff looked at us but no one took our order. After watching a couple, who had arrived after us, be served and tuck into their food, we decided to up and leave after 15 mins of being seemingly ignored by staff.

We were tempted in by the display of delicious looking cakes, and were not disappointed. The chocolate cake was deliciously fudgy and the Victoria sponge perfectly sweet. Both slices were huge! The house blend tea is very good and served at a nice temperature. Plus the tearoom itself is comfortable and cozy, with lovely staff.

Dropped in very close to closing time. However we were warmly welcomed by the staff (more so than the other two cafes we tried). Coffee and a cake in very convivial surroundings. Once again grateful thanks to the staff for your welcome.

Popped in to escape the rain and couldn’t have chosen a better cafe. Amazing cakes, lots of choice and very reasonably priced. The coffee was also really good and the owner was so friendly. Would definitely recommend and will be returning!

So much choice in this beautiful town really could have gone to any of the quirky tea rooms & cafes but the Ann of Cleves took our fancy

We, a mature couple on a day visiting Totnes, decided to try Anne of Cleves for a light lunch. We were not disappointed. The service was very good. There is a fairly extensive menu with 'Light Bites' and more filling combinations. Everything we ordered was to our complete satisfaction.

We had fruit scones and coffee . The coffee was on the bitter side but drinkable but it’s the scones !!

We decided to have the Queen Ann cream tea, firstly told you can only have 2 types of sandwiches and only one can be meat. The cakes that came out were far to large for afternoon tea and I could have knocked someone out with the rocky road. The scones were heavy and come with jam and cream applied (really) but what disappointed most of all was the service no smiles, no customer service, surprised it was busy. Won’t be going back. Wish I had read the reviews before entering.

The food was awful. All 3 meals said it came with rustic cobs and homemade coleslaw, it didn’t so I asked for it and they brought one out for myself and not the rest of my family and when they did it was shop brought coleslaw and a slice of bread not a rustic cob. £10 for ham egg and chips and it was awful not good quality food or worth that price. Very disappointed will not be returning
