Blendworth Furnishings cafe and Terrace Garden in East Hampshire

My friend & I went for lunch at The Crookley today & being a vegetarian, I had mushroom & cheese quiche, my friend had Bacon & cheese quiche, well, l must say, I have never had a quiche so tasty, it was gorgeous! My friend said the same about her quiche. We came away happy & satisfied. I believe it was Emma who made them, so, thank you Emma, for a superb meal. Trish Jones

Two friends and I had a superb 'special tea' today. Everything was freshly made on the premises and absolutely delicious. The mini cakes in particular deserve a mention. The staff were helpful and very pleasant. A splendid afternoon!

We went for a ladies who lunch. The offer of the lunchtime menu we thought was quite a small choice. They had no jacket potatoes or coronation chicken. The prawn salad had a very basic salad mainly iceberg lettuce The chicken salad was lovely. The salad was nice,why not have the same salad with the prawn salad. The specialised was lovely. We had to wait 40minutes for are food. The surroundings was lovely

Absolutely a gem of a place beautiful clean friendly stuff food amazing will be going back very soon will recommend a family and friends

Second visit in as many weeks and we couldn't have been happier. The jacket potato with both Coronation Chicken and Prawn Mayonnaise were gorgeous. The flat bread with feta (rather than mozzarella) was also gorgeous. Lovely welcoming staff and when the weather is kind the tables outside are gorgeous.

For anyone who hasn't been to the Crookley Park Estate, my goodness, you're really missing out! They are the absolute best coffee shop I've ever been to. Food & coffee is first class & the staff are the most friendly people you have ever met. Each & every member of staff make you feel welcome & valued. Personally, I'd like to thank everyone there who is friendly personified. You really, really are the best. Trish Jones.

my mum won afternoon tea in a raffle and we booked up and had it today. The presentation was lovely, cute pink cups n saucers. The food was delicious, the cakes were amazing, little bundles of deliciousness. The ladies in the tea room are so lovely and friendly, really made us feel welcome. Is defined worth a visit if you've not been yet. Defo worth a 5/5

What a wonderful afternoon tea. Ten friends went for a leaving party and the staff , food and setting were all divine… excellent afternoon tea, best I’ve had .. lovely time had by all. I will be returning.

Lovely afternoon tea. Nice selection of cakes and sandwiches served by Lovely ladies. And a good cuppa. Would highly recommend

Crookley park, cafe & shop are a must if you want, first class service, combined with friendliness & professionalism. Whenever I go for a coffee, (which is really good by the way) I am always greeted warmly, where nothing is too much trouble. I sincerely hope people do vote for this lovely place, both cafe & shop, because they deserve to win an award for being the best cafe/shop you can visit! Trish.

We visit this spot often and its recent refurb is really beautifully done. We visited the cafe and I ordered the veggie breakfast. It was hot, delicious and everything was cooked to perfection. Truly one of the best brekkies I’ve had in a long time. The staff are friendly, welcoming, and efficient. Their coffee is also very good. The shop too, besides fabrics, stocks a small range of quality gifts. Highly recommend on all counts.

Blendworth is a first class cafe. The coffee is so, so nice & the staff are amazing. I've started to go there most days & the staff always give you a warm welcome, a lovely smile & quite honestly, nothing is too much trouble for them, so, if you want a first class coffee, then go to a first class coffee shop. Incidentally, they do other drinks & various foods on their menu. Trish Jones.

Always a very friendly spot, my friend and I use it at least once a week. Good value and wholesome food.

Lovely staff,nothing is to much trouble. Great coffee and super cakes.Warm and attractive building

This cafe changed management some months ago which we were not aware of. The latte and espresso were undrinkable, with one of the worst coffee taste we have ever had. The cheese scone did not fare well either and came stodgy. We felt we were served cheap food and drink, to our disappointment, even though prices were similar to all other outlets. The menu has been reduced significantly to what it used to be. I do not feel confident to return, as it is likely breakfast or lunch could be as bad. However on the positive side, the cafeteria has been redecorated and transformed, and is appealing to sit in. The staff were helpful and friendly.

We were recommended by friends to try this cafe and were not disappointed. The staff were very friendly and could not do another for you, we were shown to our table and handed menus and advised they had Gluten free options to the menu. We both had Gluten free sandwiches which came with a side salad, which was very well presented and tasty. I would highly recommend this cafe to anyone in the area to try. We will certainly return again.

Welcoming staff and good food make it popular but could be even more charming with right decor, lacking a little style.

This place is such a fabulous find and I had the very best Bacon Sandwich I have ever had, cooked by Carol. Peaceful terrace cafe and great to unwind and enjoy such fantastic food and lovely hot coffee. You will not be disappointed. Thank you …

Lovely lunch is beautiful tranquil surrounds and reasonably priced. With good choice of food. Thoroughly recommend.

First time visiting since the refurb of the cafe and we weren’t disappointed. Chef was very accommodating in cooking breakfast for us despite us ordering a few minutes after breakfast service. Husband said the full English was spot on. We sat outside on the sunny terrace. Staff very friendly and a lovely atmosphere. Will definitely visit again.

First visit since refurnishment in the cafe, which has also been extended/expanded. Staff very pleasant and whilst a limited menu, we could find something for a late lunch that was adequate. Sadly, though, one of the two water glasses and both teacups were not completely clean ... we changed the glass and drank from the opposite side of the cups to save time. Food arrived relatively quickly by a pleasant waitress. My jacket potato was "warm" but surely should have been hot? The waitress happily brought us a pot of hot water to top up our teapot without question, which was appreciated. We ordered a slice of cake each to follow on and waited for other tables, who had placed their order before us, to be served - fair enough. However, we continued waiting until my husband investigated. Our order had simply been left on the counter and ot actioned. Eventually we were served our cakes BUT, and this is the biggest no-no working in hospitality myself, we were served by a (pleasant) waitress who had one hand bandaged and no blue gloves on. Bandages and dressings become dirty and grubby and are a breeding ground for bacteria. Surely, everyone in the hospitality industry had done a food hygiene course and know you MUST wear a protective blue glove if you have an injury, plaster or dressing on? For this reason alone, we have no desire to return. So sad as a lovely setting at the cafe.

Wonderful service. Afternoon tea was made to order and tailored to our dietary needs and likes. A beautiful environment, spacious, clean and exceptionally well presented. Nothing was too much. Everyone attentive with bottomless pots of tea. Food was delicious, with spare to bring home for later. Thank you

After coming before and having fabulous time. I decided to take my dad for lunch. Superb time had by both of us. Quiche was beautiful and service with a smile and chat. Fantastic atmosphere very pretty setting.

Absolutely brilliant café. What a lovely choice on the menu. Charming chef came out to see us and check everyone was happy. Very reasonable prices and great quality served so quickly. Love the pots of tea just quality. Thank you

On arriving in Blendworth we had a very friendly warm welcome with a smile. On entering the cafe after waiting for the lady serving to finish talking to the chef ! We was welcomed with have you reserved a table , although there was only one table with people sat at , it must of been a busy lunch as several tables had not been cleared , we ordered our tea and I had a good catch up with a friend. Unfortunately the till was not working paid cash but no receipt, on departure the lady in the fabric area was very friendly again. Have not visited the cafe before all in all a strange experience.

Went yesterday to get some fabrics and got hopelessly lost Satnav didn’t recognize the post code In desperation we rang and an amazing staff member and her colleague guided us to The shop between serving customers On arrival they were very welcoming and we headed of for a well deserved coffee The staff in the cafe were also welcoming and had us served in no time Thank you Jo !!!! Cake was to die for coffee and walnut Coffee really good We were so impressed we booked to come back for lunch Rarely do we get the kind of service we enjoyed today from all aspects of this treasure of a shop tucked away in Blendworth Lane Well worth a visit

Absolutely beautiful experience. Food was exquisite,reasonable and plenty of it. Would advise to book as quite busy. The view from the terrace over the mature gardens is to die for. Eat your meal and enjoy from a vast selection of drinks whilst feeding your soul with the view xxxxxx.

Excellent service lovely food and friendly staff. A hidden gem I am surprised nmore people don't come here.

Went as a family treat & booked a table and was given away minutes before we arrived! Rude & unhelpful staff stated ‘you weren’t here we have given your table away!’ No apology from them or alternatives offered. We were then informed that you have 15 mins to arrive. I appreciate it is a busy cafe - hence why we booked. Car issues Delayed our trip & I had Tried to call cafe twice, no one ever picks up the phone. They also take your mobile no, but no call to see if we were on our way. Have been before & never been treated like this! No alternative was offered or when another table would be available. Will give this place a wide berth too, like another reviewer mentioned - really poor service from staff.

I'm not sure why we were treated as VIPs, but we loved our experience. Ieuan bakes delicious homemade cakes and scones. The finger sandwiches couldn't have been fresher and we were given so much food and endless extra tea. The staff are so lovely and...

My friend and I was very disappointed with with our visit to the Cafe. The pot of tea for two was not very hot at all and we both ordered the mushroom soup, made on the premises so I understand. It was like water, very...

Visited on a Friday lunchtime with a friend and had a lovely bacon and Brie panini. We never feel rushed when we visit and the staff are always so friendly. Always book in advance as it gets so busy.

I visited this outstanding cafe for afternoon tea with 2 friends. I had requested a vegan afternoon tea and when I was presented with a tower of beautiful snacks, sandwiches, salad and large and small cakes I was astonished. The selection was amazing and delicious....

Wat a lovelly ((is it a cafe )) the staff are brilliant. . And so friendly the food is really nice been a few times now the scones creamy the sandwiches are on nice thick bread and worth the money .. great value. .

Just had the most amazing freshly cooked breakfast at Blendworth (All Covid secure). Plenty to eat and wonderful service, they couldn’t do enough for us. Have been many times and always delicious food for lunch as well. Would highly recommend for anytime.

What a lovely experience we have just had here, we felt like the food was personally cooked just for us and tea kept topped up, perfect! The food was delicious and nothing was too much trouble for any of the staff, even the chef whom...

Went for lunch with my daughter today, food lovely and staff very pleasant EXCEPT the man in the kitchen was far too loud, no need for it - otherwise lovely

Jacket Potato & a HUGE portion of tasty home-made chicken curry for £7 / Come On! Another super lunch, served quickly in nice surroundings.

Great experience and great food. Went to look at curtains and furnishings and had a very hearty jacket potato. Staff were really friendly and great atmosphere. A real family feel

Myself and my wife visit this cafe at least once a week, we have always found the service, food and atmosphere here excellent. A must visit if you are ever in the area.

Paying a visit to one of my favourite cafe, I was enjoying my sandwich when I noticed a cat strolling near the entrance to the cafe, a waitress then bent done and started to stroke the cat. She then went back into the kitchen, I...

This is probably a fine enough place for a cup of coffee... but lunch here was very disappointing. And I'm not sure how reviewers rave about the service: you order at the counter, pay, and then your food is brought to you.

We have been here many times for lunch and the food is always very good and so is the service. I would suggest booking a table to ensure you can get in as it is a popular place to eat.

This is a sweet place where people go for a nice bit of lunch of cake. I went today with my mother who had just come out of hospital. The food was nice but my goodness, why was the man in the kitchen shouting so...

We entertained our good friends here and enjoyed a pleasant lunch and plenty of time to chat uninterrupted. The quiches are particularly good and the salad is always crisp and fresh.

I haven’t visited Blendworth cafe for quite a few years and was pleasantly surprised that things haven’t changed too much . This was always a reassuring place to have a quality simple meal of quality what ever the time of day . My friend and I enjoyed a lovely lunch of Jacket potatoes and toasted sandwiches both were served with a very fresh salad . As always the staff are friendly and the service is excellent. I didn’t know that they serve afternoon tea it looked delicious. I would definitely recommend this lovely cafe with its shop especially at Christmas and all the trimmings.

We had two friends joining us for lunch, and on a damp October day, we were looking for somewhere a little different to take them. We suddenly remembered the Blendworth cafe which we had not visited in a while but has the added advantage of the interior furnishings showroom after we had eaten. It proved a very good choice, we booked in advance and three of us enjoyed home made Lasagne, the fourth opting for a jacket potato. These items were from the standard menu although there are also daily specials. The staff were welcoming and efficient and the meal well prepared and presented. The attractive setting and dining area, plus the interesting grounds that could have been enjoyed more in better weather added to our experience. There is ample free parking.

My group of friends and I have been coming here regularly but this last visit was really disappointing.

Very dissapointed with lunch today. Very cold centre but obviously partially heated quiche. When I mentioned this I was told they don't warm quiche! Completely untrue as I visited around 3 - 4 weeks ago and was served warmed quiche. I have never been dissatisfied here before and I often take friends and relatives here and recommended it to others. I will think twice before I go or recommend again.

I booked a table a week in advance. The setting is lovely and the staff are very attentive.

Booked & pre ordered supper for sale event. Salmon was very overcooked & dry. Potatoes poor too. We ordered drinks but they didn't come until we had nearly finished our meal. Very disappointing as it is such a lovely setting.

I booked an afternoon tea for my birthday. I booked it for 3pm for 4 people. I said 3 would have the afternoon tea and one would choose from the menu. I was told this was absolutely fine. We arrived at 3 my daughter ordered a panini. We were told the kitchen closed at 3 and everything had been put away. It was suggested that she could maybe have some of our cake as there would be so much of it. Our waitress went off to ask if we could have a panini and came back saying they had a jacket potato left or would make a sandwich. I'm a bit disappointed they didn't mention when I booked that the kitchen would be closed.

Visited Blendworth Furnishings Cafe this week for afternoon tea, service was good and cream tea was up to standard. What I didn’t like and didn’t understand were the hats the staff were wearing - Why? They never have before. They looked like they should be in a scene from Acorn Antiques or the Dinner Ladies. Please who ever is responsible for this think again! You have a lovely setting for your cafe, perfect for a quiet coffee, lunch or tea don’t spoil it making your staff wear this ridiculous head attire!

This attractive cafe is hidden at the back of the furnishings shop. There is plenty of parking at the front of the building.

We have been here lots of times now. Tables do get reserved for busy times so try to book in advance if you can, otherwise you may be disappointed or have a long wait for a table. All food seems to be cooked fresh for you. Also it is nice to go somewhere different. When you walk through the shop to get to coffee shop it’s very hard to resist all the lovely shiny trinkets... well worth a visit. It’s also out of the way so it is a hidden gem.

We eat here at least once a fortnight and are never disappointed, the food is fresh, reasonable priced, & delicious. Service is fast, friendly & efficient.

A friend and I visited the cafe for lunch as it had been recommended to me. The cafe is at the back of the furnishings and gift shop, set in a beautiful old house and overlooking the garden. My friend had a Ploughman's and I had Smoked Salmon and Avocado salad in a bowl. Wow! Very generous portion size, fresh and delicious. Staff friendly and polite. Will certainly be returning and recommending to others.

Won a voucher in a raffle for afternoon tea here. Fabulous. Ample, well filled sandwiches followed by fresh, dainty scones with clotted cream and jam together with a selection of cakes and pastries. Plenty of tea to accompany the delights and friendly, helpful and attentive staff. One of the best afternoon teas we've had.

Came here for lunch. The quiche was horrible. I don't know if it had been previously frozen, but it had been microwaved to death and the pastry was like soggy blotting paper. Worst I've ever had. The salad that came with it was ok.

Lunch with a friend but sadly disappointed hot food needs to be hot, having to send back food to be reheated not nice. Tasty once done but does not inspire a revisit!

Visited here expecting the usual high standards and was very very disappointed! Not sure if it’s the fault of Christmas but very disappointed. Turkey special was gristly and supposed to be served with bubble and squeak, but arrived with pale roast potatoes, stuffing and what appeared to be rosti and thento finish it off cold potato salad! Is the chef in his Irish phase or is there a cheap deal on potatoes? Where was a hint of vegetables? Also the friend I went with has food issues and despite requests they still served what she had not asked for! Serving staff amazing and helpful so thinkit was a kitchen issue. Please please go back to what you used to do, plain and sim0le butgood and fresh?

Was recommended to try this little restaurant out- very impressed, food very good so was service. Worth a visit

We'd heard about this cafe and today got around to visiting. It's in lovely surroundings, both inside and outside. The cheese and baked bean jacket potato with salad was what I call a 'proper job'. It was hot, tasty and what tasted like Heinz baked beans. They sell alcohol in addition to the usual hot and cold drinks. Food wise, it's breakfasts, lunches and cream teas. The staff were very good too. You walk through the Blendworth furnishings shop with lovely materials and gift items, to reach the cafe. It's going to become a regular for us now. What would be even better is if they could open during the evenings for dinners. How about it Blendworth Furnishings Cafe?

Went to cafe at Blendworth furnishings with my sister to look around. We walked from my home in Horndean which proved to be a good afternoon out. The cafe was quiet and quaint, we felt very much at home. They also sold gluten free cake which is rare as I am gluten intolerant. The staff were friendly and we didn't have to queue for our drinks and cake. We will go back as we were very impressed.

Treated to a birthday lunch here having never heard of the place. Food, staff and atmosphere first class. Quiches and salad were delicious. I'll be back!

Popped in to purchase some fabric and stopped of for tea and cake, a nice pot of tea, and gluten-free drizzle cake which melted in your mouth, delicious.

Came here for lunch with a friend a couple of months ago and have been back several times. Anything from a cake and coffee, sandwich, salad or hot meal. Good value and food delicious , staff friendly and new system of ordering at till makes it more efficient. Need to book as always busy

You have to know where to find Blendworth Furnishings and it might not be where you would expect to get a nice lunch or afternoon tea. Limited choice - but very tasty, especially the selection of cakes. Don't expect fish and chips! Lovely fabric shop and homeware.

Good choice of snacks and lunches served in a light and airy space. Good service and friendly staff.

This is a super venue for an intimate lunch with friends or family. I had a quiche with a variety of salads and a pot of tea. All nicely presented and served with a smile. Plenty of staff so we did not have to wait long. Neither were we rushed to leave our table, although it was surprisingly busy for a Monday.

Visited whilst down south visiting family. Have been in a few times in the past and have been greeted by friendly staff in the cafe and also offered top up coffee. However this time staff member a bit distant and matter of fact and there was no offer of a top up. The coffee cup was very small and nothing accompanied what was a plain sandwich. It would have been nice if the coffee was a little larger and the sandwich was not quite as plain considering the cost.

A friend and I had the bacon roll and filter coffee. The bacon was of good quality and the roll delicious. The filter coffee was excellent and there was a free refill. The staff were very friendly and attentive. We will be returning soon.

I went to Blendworth Cafe for a girly lunch with friends and had such a lovely time! I had a Carmel Latte with a Brie, Bacon and Cranberry toastie, both of which were delicious and the portion size was spot on.

This used to be a fabulous little cafe but they seem to have lost their oomph! Cakes are dry, food is rarely home cooked as claimed (staff told me the fish cakes came from Lidl) and it isn't as friend as it used to be. Come on guys. Get back to how you used to be.

Cakes looked amazing though not the best place to be on a diet day. Will go back for a slice...

This cafe offers the most delicious food whether it is a quiche, casserole, cakes and it is worth every single...

My wife and I went out for lunch with friends at this cafe, and had a delicious lunch. Two of us, including myself, had the rather wonderful mac & cheese, which may well have been the best I've ever had. My wife had an asparagus quiche, which came on a pizza-size plate filled with salad etc., and was a lot more than we were expecting for the modest price.

We had no idea this place existed until recently, despite living in the area for a few years now. We happened to see the sign mentioning a cafe and thought we would give it a go. So pleased we did. The food is lovely and fresh and we have never been disappointed with anything we have ordered.

I went to Blendworth with a friend to shop and have a cup of tea. We couldn't resist the fruit scones which were delicious. The staff are always friendly too.

Excelente lugar para comprar la tela para mi cortinas nuevas y un montón de otros muebles y regalos inusuales/adornos. Sería un lugar encantador en el verano para comer fuera, pero estaba lloviendo. Sin embargo, el restaurante era cómoda y tenía una buena elección. El servicio era bueno y la comida muy sabrosa. Tuve sopa de verduras caseras y luego un bocadillo tostado, que era fantástica y no grasienta. Chaqueta de patata de mi amigo también era bueno. La taza de té era muy agradable, nos pidieron que se mezclan. Precio muy razonable, así que, en general, un buen par de horas mientras llovía afuera!

Not only does this place have wonderful fabrics and curtains - it also has a wonderful restaurant in which the chef serves home made quiches, lunches, sandwiches etc - I love coming to this place

Went there last week end as a birthday surprise and was delighted by the afternoon tea and service would recommend

Back for my second visit with my Nan today, had a lovely time sitting out in the sun in the lovely outside seating area overlooking trees and a beautiful green. The lemon drizzle cake is amazing! It's a must have and all the other cakes look pretty good too (I always go for the lemon drizzle). The staff are so accommodating, always friendly and bend over backwards to accommodate your needs. They are never too busy for a chat with my Nan and I which is lovely. We will definitely be back again and would advise anyone to try this place for lovely tea, cake and people :) xxx

Great service, lovely coffee and cakes. A little pricey but a wonderful treat if you fancy a coffee and a chat. Then peruse the goodies.

What a shame. We had lunch here on a number of occasions and the food is very pricey but to a high standard so I don't mind paying a little extra.However, the service is awful with only one person talking your order who is also on the till, talking to everyone.Its my last time unfortunately - I only get an hour for lunch and its a 10 min drive each way. I can honestly say, it reminds me of the woman who served you in Acorn Antiques......its that bad.Get more staff please !

Nice licensed cafe serving light-bites & specials located in Blendworth Furnishings. We go here regularly & have not been disappointed.It can get busy at certain times of the week.

We have had lunch here several times, but today our experience was not good. Always very busy but today there was a total lack of staff. Consequently the service was appalling.. I ordered quiche it was very runny and not pleasant. My husband had a fish cake which was of a poor standard and not very nice. We sat for over half an hour waiting to have our plates removed and to place our dessert order. It never happened so we paid and left. The waitress who had from the start given the opinion she would prefer to be any where other than at blendworth. She asked if every thing was ok I explained our disappointment she grunted and said no more. An apology obviously never entered her head. It will be some time if we ever go back there. Very disappointing to say the least

This place is usually a favourite. However, it now appears to be a victim of it's own success.Promising my friends that this was a great place to eat, we visited on a Friday a couple of weeks ago, and regretfully, we had to send our meals back to the kitchen. We ordered the lasagne. It was disgusting. A huge portion of slop, with tomato ketchup slathered all over the top! It had obviously been reheated, but the meat was cold/Luke warm in the middle. Thankfully, the young staff on duty that day were apologetic and didn't charge us for our meals, though we did think that maybe it was a different cook in the kitchen?? The older (very surly) waitress was not working that day, so at least we were served with a smile instead of a scowl. Wouldn't risk more than a coffee here now.

It had been a while since we visited this venue and was hoping it had improved. However, it took over 10 mins. for someone to serve us, 25 mins. for tea/coffee to arrive and then the food arrived a few mins. later. My salmon salad had one slice of salmon hidden under two large slices of lemon, some discoloured avocado and raddichio leaves and a couscous and sweetcorn mix with zero seasoning - £10.95!!! We asked to speak to the manager who was quite slow at coming out to see us, and after I had expressed my disappointment with the various points mentioned he told me that the food was fresh in that morning and asked the waitress not to charge us. No sympathetic understanding, no interest and when I said that I wouldnt return to the tea rooms he was completely indifferent! What a shame that such a lovely venue is totally let down by such appalling service. Just wouldnt recommend to anybody, in fact would warn to avoid.

Visited here today chose from the special board quiche of the day which was cheddar cheese and asparagus. When it came out I was amazed, huge piece of homemade quiche with a plateful of lovely salad and cous cous. Was the size of a proper dinner and was delightful and fresh. Have been here before and will definitely go again. Gets very busy worth booking in advance to ensure a table.

I have had varied experiences here.Food is quite good but on several occasions I have found service slow and staff not particularly forthcoming or friendly .

We arrived at about 12:20 on a Monday in early Feb alongside another couple. Specials menu looked good, café wasn’t full. A special treat on my day off beckoned. Once the other couple were seated on the sofa , an unsmiling, older waitress indicated to us the table we were to sit at . No cheery hello from her. We settled in and studied the menu . The unsmiling waitress told a couple who had sat at the only vacant table next to us to move to a table for two now that it had ‘become available’. We both felt she could have asked them in a nicer manner. We saw some food brought out to another table. There were other waitresses around and we tried to catch their eye too but they were having none of it. After about 15 mins we saw the same waitress come to take the order of the sofa couple – great, we thought, we would be next. The unsmiling waitress then came out twice in quick succession to the table next to us but scurried past us, so still no luck. At about 12:40 having waited in vain, we’d had enough and I decided to fill in a customer feedback form which took a few more minutes. We walked out past the unsmiling waitress who said nothing and I posted the form in what seemed to be quite a full feedback box .Neither of us have EVER walked out of an eatery before and I have never felt compelled to provide feedback but this was a truly awful experience. No ‘can I bring you some drinks’ , not even ‘I’ll be with you in a few moments ‘. No acknowledgement whatsoever.Twenty minutes of being completely ignored is totally unacceptable. Talk to your customers & be pleasant to them, a smile now and again would be good and if there are ‘issues’ like food delays just tell them. A very poor, very disappointing experience which quite spoilt my day off. We will not be returning and will not recommend the café to anyone

Myself and my daughter visited the shop and cafe. The shop had a small sale so managed to pick up a few bargains. We then had lunch in the cafe, which was very busy. It appeared they struggled a bit with the number of customers, so the service was a bit slow. The food was really good.The lady who appeared to run the cafe was seen to be quite stressed when customers arrived who hadn't booked, making one customer clearly feel like it was too much trouble to find her a table and so left, clearly unhappy with how she was treated.Our overall experience was good and it is far better than the keydell's cafe.We will visit again.Thank you

We visited late one afternoon and the service staff were delayed in attending to us. The lady seemed distracted by friends that were sat at another table. The order for desserts only came out with great delays so we were all eating at didn't times. Not enjoyable experience we had believed it was going to be.

My mother and I who had travelled over an hour to visit me, visited Blendworth after she had read a number of good reviews from Tripadvisor. Well I have to say we were both very disappointed.The only good part of out experience was walking into the furnishings shop and been given a warm welcome by the ladies from the shop. This sadly changed once we entered the cafe, as we were scowled at by the older female waitress, with no warm welcome in sight!It was pretty quiet with only two other tables occupied, but despite this we were forced to wait whilst the two members of staff seemed more interested in rearranging the furniture than taking our order. So 20 minutes later our order was finally taken and we hoped to be enjoying our treats shortly. Sadly we were disappointed once again as we waited 'patiently' for our order. My mum's flapjack turned up, which she patiently pushed to one side wrongly assuming that my mincepie and our drinks would follow shortly (when she did tuck into the flatjack she was very disappointed to taste a very sugary snack). Well how wrong we both were, despite no other customers arriving it was at least another 15 minutes before my mincepie turned up delivered by one of the waitress's. Thankfully our hot drinks followed shortly after. Despite the long wait the mincepie was pretty poor, very soggy and lacking in taste.Safe to say I will not be revisiting Blendworth cafe again.

This is a regular treat for breakfast. Wonderful selection of dishes (but no fry ups) using quality ingredients. The lunch menu looks very tempting but I haven't been there at that time. It is a popular place to go and rightly so. Great service and great food. Amazing selection of cakes of different sorts.

I was very disappointed when I asked for a table with my husband. We were told we could use a 4 seater, but we may have to "share" the table with other customers! We were shocked and decided to leave. I emailed Blendworths and hoped to receive some feedback, but received no response.

Snap decision to pop into this cafe. We were hungry and ready for something to eat. It wasn't busy so we had the pick of the tables. The waitress came to take our drinks order straight away and when another waitress brought the teas to us she said the food would be about 10 minutes. It was no longer than that. Scrambled eggs on two slices of toast each my husband had bacon with his (three rashers) and I had smoked salmon. All I can say is delicious. Good quality produce, excellently cooked and presented. Friendly staff and we intend to return.

Lovely cafe, very busy , you need to book, staff are really helpful, lovely home cooked cakes, sandwiches, quiches, soup, and not too expensive, lovely place to meet friends

Called into Blendworth Fabrics and found they had a fantastic cafe. The menu was basic but plenty of choice. The presentation of the food was good and the table service was first class. We will set be coming back. As an added bonus there is lots to see in the shopping half of the venue.
