Came in here for lunch and I have to admit that the staff are not very inviting. At 1230hrs (lunch time) there were no steak pies ! Why ? They have an attached shop . They don’t make anything at all I asked if the lasagne was fresh and was told it was frozen. A burger was bought. No salad at all just bland and tasteless

Asda Cafe in Forfar don't have anything when I have been in. No choice of sandwiches. When you go for breakfast, there is always someyhing they don't have. As a supermarket, why can't they go to the shop to get stuff. Expensive also. Staff not very happy looking. Needing to employ staff that have catering experirnce

Very grumpy staff, very small portion sizes indeed. If the staff were nicer and they were not so stingy with the food and if they had enough cutlery to go around, then this place would be okay. If I could give a negative rating, I would probably chose -9. Two words to sum this place up and that would be "STAY CLEAR"!

Don't expect to be satiated if you are very hungry. My portion was tiny. I know it is relatively cheap, but still not good value for money.Also, would be good if the staff could speak at a volume that can be heard, instead of in inaudible muttering.Not impressed.

This is an okay place for a quick cuppa whilst doing your shopping but we thought we'd have lunch before travelling through to Dundee to save time. Always a good cup of tea but the batter on my fish was uncooked. I probably would have said something if we'd had time to wait but as we were pushed for time, I didn't. A bit disappointing even at £5.

Hadn't been here for quite a while for Sunday breakfast. Wish we hadn't bothered. Format has changed for service. Everything seemed to be dried up, it was quite early in service too, so no excuse for it being later in the morning. Bacon like leather, there is a difference between crispy and cremated, Lorne, square sausage, was dry and of a cardboard texture, eggs were like bullets. The only thing that was freshly made was the toast.,this used to be a really busy place on a Sunday, this particular day it was almost empty. Not surprised. On the plus side the staff were friendly. Won't be back

I did read about good selection of meals and quality food. I don't think there is a good selection of meals. 4 meals to choose from and some choice of Italian sandwiches. Been waiting ages for meals. Chips came dark, cold, soggy and covered in grease. Lasagne ok, daughter's sousage joke, like sitting in a hot place for hours and partner's chicken tikka? Portion was joke as well. Never ever again. Only one plus side, staff was nice.

Popped in for a quick lunch after shopping.We were the only people in the queue but Stood for 5 minutes while 2 members of staff totally ignored the fact we were waiting to be served.Ordered 2 toasties. Sat and waited 15 minutes before they came despite the fact that there was only one hot order before us, very few people came in after us, and there were now 3 members of staff behind the counter.The girl who brought our order also stood holding it while she had a conversation with another member of staff.Won't be back!

Popped in for an after shopping trip cuppa. The place was really busy and there was only one poor guy serving. Have to say, he kept his cool and cooked breakfasts in between making toasted sandwiches, etc., I can only imagine his stress levels inwardly at the ever growing queue of hungry/thirsty people following him steadily with their eyes, willing him to "get a move on". Come on Asda, you can do better than this. At elevenses leading to lunch time, surely you can afford to have at least 2 people serving.

There is no reason to imagine that such a huge national company should be left to avoid the scrutiny of Trip Advisor. It is high time these supposedly customer friendly conglomerates made good this wee corner of their business model and be shamed, if necessary, into beginning a nationwide purge upon the worst of their consumer comfort offerings. I have been to and reviewed big store customer cafes at Debenham's and elsewhere, finding them more than fit for purpose. If Morrison's and M&S can do it... Why not Asda? I had a 'Meal Deal' of some kind of chicken and spinach panini-type thing with tea and chips. The main was almost inedible, the tea OK, and the chips pretty mediocre. Looking around there was a smattering of fairly miserable diners in this restaurant-set-up one could only describe as utilitarian. The staff, though helpful, looked apprehensive of their fare as they served. It could all be so much better. Not happy bunnies. Nor, as their paying customer, was I.

although the staff are generally friendly the food is left to be desired. There has been a recent revamp in the cafe which has left no room for trays as you collect your food. The food on the menu is rarely available, There's only a small selection to choose from and your lucky if its not overcooked in the microwave. the new service procedure is a disappointment. there has been a drop in food quality.

I've visited this café on numerous occasions and, despite a revamp of the serving area and the menu the food leaves a lot to be desired. The menu is poor: and the quality of the food is poor - the grilled sausages I were practically impossible to cut with a knife! Every time I've visited one of my party has had to make fresh choices due to items being off the menu - basic items such as ham and sausage! Avoid this establishment - there are much better places in the town.

Came in for a spot of lunch with my friend to be faced with a very limited choice of hot food. The options we were faced with were chips that were refries,mashed potato & peas. There was however a slim choice of paninis & 1 wrap. They clearly have a sign stating that every sandwich, wrap or panini you can add chips for 50p so we ordered 2 wraps to be "toasted" & 2 portions of chips. We then made way across the filthy pit of a floor to our table to only then realise that we had been charged full price for our chips, when queried we were met with a very snippy response stating that because the wraps were reduced we might not be entitled to receive out chips at the price stated & that they would have to query with management & in the event of being refunded the money owed it would need to be dealt with at asda customer service desk & they weren't authorised from their till!! I wouldn't mind letting the 80p slip usually however when you're served barely warm let alone toasted wraps & refried "16" chips I draw the line!! At the time of writing this I am still awaiting the decision regarding my query!!! I WOULD NOT recommend...

My husband and I have been here many times when shopping. Sometimes on a Sunday we have been known to pop in for breakfast with Grandkids. Used to be great until they changed the breakfasts. Since the change the choice is really disappointing. There is a very friendly young man there who is great with customers sadly the ladies who work there at the weekend could do with customer service training. This is a shame as most of the Asda staff in Forfar go above and beyond to help you.

What can I say...Asda, how could you have got it sooooooo wrong! Visited this "eaterie" recently with my partner at lunch time on a week day. Sorry we wasted our time and money. Don't get me wrong, the cafe is not expensive. It is however, utterly rubbish. No menu board to let you know what hot/cold food is available, you have to ask. Even then the selection is poor. Tables were filthy, cutlery/napkin area was a mess. This has got to be the worst Asda cafe I've been in. Having had some really terrific breakfast's at Asda cafe's down in Glasgow, I can't understand why all the cafe's are not the same...with same menu choices etc. What's the problem Asda/Wal-Mart??? You're a multi billion dollar company...so why are you short changing your customers like this?Will NEVER use this place again.

asda cafe in forfar, Angus. We visited for a cup of tea, the women who worked there was plastered in make up and it did not look very hygienic or professional. I ordered a chocolate cream cupcake which had been in the fridge for a very long time it was stale and tasteless. The cups were all marked. And we had to ask for more milk as there was none left on the shelf or in the machine the tables and chairs hadnt been wiped and we were left to clean our table and chair before we sat down ourselves, the chair legs were covered in dirty dried marks and food, the surrounding tables also were left messy the tray stands were full. The bin was left open and broken. The floor looked like it had been cleaned with a dirty machine and dirty marks were just rubbed into the floor, The lady who was opening fruit packages didn't wear gloves and was opening packaging with her pen. The two ladies behind the counter were to busy talking about there life to notice to elderly lady's who were waiting to be served and had to asked to be served. I find this appalling, unhygienic service and if a hygeine inspecter was to walk in to asda cafe in forfar, Asda would be in serious trouble. I will never go back here. I would recommend saddlers in forfar for a cup of tea or Morrisons in dundee.

So glad we didn’t read some of these reviews before we went or might not have bothered. After a google search of places to eat “near me” the Speckled Hen came up. We loved it. Nice area, lovely views. Big open airy restaurant. Nothing fancy but clean and homely feel. Lovely selection of homemade sandwiches, cakes etc. My other half had bacon and egg roll which was delivered in a large roll with plenty filling while I had soup n sandwich. Salad and coleslaw with sandwich which was fresh and tasty. Delicious! The waitress also did the cooking so realised it may take longer to arrive than other places but was well worth the wait. Very relaxed and enjoyable. Service was lovely and other half saying he will be back with work colleagues!
