Bando Bar in Spelthorne

Food ok and parking easy … but incredibly slow service .. plus so many barking dogs inside as it was raining … wouldn’t rush back there

I have been going to Noel’s with my friend once a week for years, in my opinion it’s the best cafe/ breakfast place around Feltham for many a year.. Around 18 quid for two full breakfasts, never had a complaint in their service or food. Best thing you can say about an eating house is, if the locals use it, you got a good reputation. And I’m a local. Recommend a visit. 👍.

I visited here for the first time despite living here for 10+ years. I decided to go for some lunch as I fancied something different from a traditional cafe and wanted to support an independent trader. We chose a toasted sandwich of brie, bacon and cranberry, sweet potato fries, a beef burger, a cappuccino and a lemonade. I was rather disappointed and found the food a little underwhelming. The sandwich, on what appeared to be ordinary sliced wholemeal bread and fries cost about £13, which I felt was rather expensive as the overall taste, presentation and ingredients were very average and the fries were rather salty(salt can always be added by the customer if needed).The burger again was very simplistic. While I can't remember all the individual costs of the food and drinks the bill came too just over £35.00, which for what we had felt was quite pricey. I feel they could make some quick and simple tweaks to the food, which would elevate it into a more 'premier' product which their price point suggests. Overall the inside is great, the choice of seating areas is interesting and different, also having an alcohol licence is great but the food could be improved to offer better valve for money.

Visited this cafe for a light brunch, I ordered the smashed avocado on sourdough toast with poached eggs. What I was actually served was poached eggs on sliced white bread toast with a smear of guacamole. I would suggest in the future if certain items from the menu are not available it would be better to inform the customer rather than substitute with much inferior ingredients and hoping that this goes unnoticed.

Food not that great,My wife had yhe steak pie,A lot of it was chewy grisel, Expensive as well.Staff were great though. Very good.
