Nothing changed. Staff still not welcoming or friendly even when loyalty card shows we are regulars. Guessing something in pipeline to close due to low numbers??? Not sure why things changed so much since Pre Covid shut down. Staff used to be so nice and make you feel valid. The lady in charge took great pride in knowing her customers. Cooked breakfast always popular for water sport people too. I See question about are there any toilets. Yes there are toilets but only accessible through the hanger. You used to be allowed through door from cafe by their till. Now sent long way round. As others say it is unique and a place with huge potential. Only simple things like the staff’s sullen manner needs to change????? Shame and not sure why??? HCC let it out to caterers I guess???? Neither interested in upping game from reviews? Oh still a fight to get proper cup. They prefer paper ones.

Absolutely dire on every level, but an amazing location. Could be fantastic. Food very very limited and our choices tasteless. Tea and coffee were not finished.. Cold building, sticky tables and miserable staff. The place has the potential to be really something special What a lost opportunity. It could be a destination!

So glad to have Trip Adviser to stop us thinking we are moaning alone. Queued to order coffee at 10.30 ish today. Although like numerous other reviewers I have wrote a couple of times to say simple things are bad here, I had no response from management or staff!!!!! I used to love this place, coffee was good. Service was good. Now today the indoor cafe area empty as everyone outside. We asked for coffee and cashier asked where we were sitting? I said outside but we want mugs or cups not disposable ones. It now seems sitting outside we are not trusted to either not steal or break their cups??!!!! We have been visiting here weekly for years and always sat outside, winter or summer??! We said No Thanks we always have China/ceramic cups or mugs. Personal service gone. No one even noticed we are regulars and not tourists or one of hanger visitors!!!!!

What no full English! Visited this morning fancied a full English breakfast, my friend also wanted the same. Been before and the breakfast was good, looked at new menu, no mention of breakfasts, beans on toast, egg on toast, bacon sandwich, all the breakfast ingredients but no full breakfast. WHY? Sorry we don’t do breakfasts anymore. WHY! We visited again as they advertise as being dog friendly and the breakfast before hand had been nice and plentiful. We also got told off for bringing the dog through the hanger to the cafe, as no dogs allowed in the hanger this is new. While in the cafe I noticed only fire or emergency exit doors, with no way of getting in from outside so how can I take my dog with me if I can’t get in? Very Very disappointing, this is the second review I’ve posted for this cafe NOT going to be a third as I’m never going again. What a shame as its in a lovely location

Oh dear oh dear, what on earth is the County council doing, this cafe could be a gold mine but its terrible, no cooked breakfasts anymore, lunch is either a pasty, sausage roll and or chips and even that takes nearly half an hour. They might as well close it completely if they can't do any better.

Terrible visit, 40 minute wait for Cornish pasty and chips with not many other customers causing any delay that I could see. Over priced and underwhelming food. We will definitely not be visiting again. Wish I'd read the reviews before going. Not a great menu choice no really healthy options considering it's in an activity centre. A change tomout order was refused which I thought meant it was already being cooked but we waited 40 minutes which means our order could easily have been changed. Would not recommend to anyone to eat there.

A visit to the cafe at Calshot used to be a great way to spend a couple of hours. Not so now if today's experience is anything to go by. Overpriced food of poor quality, the offering seemed to be cornish pasty, sausage roll or cheesy chips. The first 2 at least just warmed up in the microwave. What happened to the lunches, jacket potatoes etc that used to be on the menu. We won't bother again - there's other places to go where the customer is not ripped off. Get your act together HCC!!!

Great spot, brilliant potential but what a disappointment. Menu was extremely limited and quality poor and very overpriced. £16.50 for cold sausage roll, some fries and an uncooked bagel with tiny bit of tuna. Fries were meant to be reduced when brought with something else, but we were still charged full price. Didn't say anything because was treating an elderly friend and didn't want to make a fuss. Staff friendly enough but won't be coming back in a hurry.

Oh dear, one of my favourite seaside cafes has really gone downhill. I visited today and the entire lunch menu choice was either a pasty, two types of small sausage roll or a bagel. That's it, no soup, no cooked food and no sandwiches or rolls. Really sad as we have so enjoyed being there for lunch over many years in the past, today was a total disappointment especially as a simple small sausage roll and a coffee was around £8

Despite many very poor reviews during the last year, no improvements have been made. The very limited menu has been reduced further. Last Sunday 17th September 2023 Coffee - No run out of coffee beans How about a finger sandwich - No we have run out of fish fingers OK - Jacket Potato with Cheese - No you can only have beans. Also the attitude form an unapologetic member of staff really boiled my p**s Get you act together FFS

Visited the cafe on Sunday, often meet up with friends for lunch on a Sunday, service is always a bit hit and miss but we like the location. First thing we noticed was the menu had been vastly reduced, but that is okay if they are trying to simplify things to provide a decent service. Lunch menu consists mainly of paninis or jacket potatoes, the chicken curry and chicken burgers now removed from the menu. My partner ordered a fish finger sandwich. Sorry - can't do that. A jacket potato with cheese instead? Sorry, only have beans. Okay - we'll just have a coffee. Sorry, no coffee beans! At this point we left, went to a local cafe in Hythe, where we had good food, excellent service and a better price. The cafe at Calshot could be a gold mine, why can't someone please sort it out? I have heard of customers waiting 45 minutes just for a cup of coffee (at least they had some that day) Very disappointing all round.

Like ma y locals, we have been coming here for a number of years and it has steadily got worse Today was a shambles, very very limited lunch menu, just about managed to serve 2 coffees, a cornish pasty, sausage roll and some chips (chips were good!) A chap came in from the patio and asked for an umbrella for outside table but was told they don't use them anymore as it's too windy - perfectly still day with temperatures in high 20s, more like couldn't be bother to put them out, we especially noticed the members of staff he talked to all laughed when he left! When we left at 12.30pm we noticed an abundance of staff, 3 of whom were sitting around one of the tables presumably having a meeting as 2 of them had their laptops in use. Wasn't a problem for them taking up one of the tables though as we were the last customers there so place was empty of customers once we had left Such a shame it is so badly managed, it's a great location with potential if only decent management was put in place and a much better menu offered The only good point as far as we are concerned, the young ladies serving were very friendly and polite so credit to them

Have been visiting here for a number of years. Views are great, staff are friendly and coffee is decent. However, the management and organisation is a shambles. This time there weren’t any sandwiches, kitchen was closed so no hot food and drinks fridge was empty so no soft drinks! Previously we have had issues with a limited menu being available - you can’t have a bacon and egg bap, but you can have a bacon bap or an egg bap. Someone needs to get a grip of how this place is run. Will pick up a ‘meal deal’ on the way down next time!

Popped in last Friday lunchtime for a snack. A bit out our or way, and our last visit was 20 yrs ago! We had a dog with us, so sat outside in the covered area. Everything very clean, and the BLT Panini's were made with fresh ingredients, and very tasty. Outside , so tea was in a cardboard cup, but decent nevertheless. Could not leave without having an Ice Cream, so had a large cone with 4 scoops of different flavoured ice cream,(For the reviewer who complained it is watery, it is gelato, kind of halfway between ice cream and sorbet). Very good indeed, well prepared fresh food, and great value. Staff were helpful, and would certainly make a detour to visit again

Absolutely wonderful food. I've been here countless times and I've never been dissapointed. Lived in Thailand for 2 years and I've always struggled to find a good pad Thai since. Then I found here and it's honestly fantastic. Hard workers creating great food. Thank you team ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Thank God KFC Holbury is shut! The food was always disappointing – the chips were consistently cold, and the overall quality just wasn’t up to par with other locations. It’s a real shame because the staff were always friendly and did their best, but unfortunately, they had to find other work. Despite their efforts, this wasn’t one of the better KFC franchises. Hopefully, something better will take its place in the future.

We arrived for lunch and weren’t sure which way to enter the restaurant. There is a front door but no sign or anything intimating it was the main entrance or whether it was the door for the hotel or the restaurant or both; so we opted for the side gate but still weren’t sure if we were going the correct way. Still not sure whether we had entered the restaurant via the correct route we were seated quickly and my young daughter needed the bathroom: we went to the bathroom leaving my partner at the table and by the time we came back there were still no menus on the table. I did wonder if it was the start of things to come. However, thankfully, I was wrong. Everything after that was seamless. Service was good and food was great. My partner had the burger, I had eggs Benedict and my daughter had pizza. My only personal preference with the eggs Benedict would be to have a thick slice of ham, but as I say, that’s my personal preference. All the food was good quality. We liked the seating arrangements too; tables weren’t squeezed in and there was plenty of space between tables. We’ve already recommended this place to friends and family and will return ourselves in the area.

I would give this tea room a zero, i asked for gluten free options, none offered ever, i asked for a can of lemonade i had just done a 7 mile walk with friends, i was refused as they only my offer a cream tea minimun spend £4.80. My friends ordered a cream tea each i asked for my lemonade to go on there order, the lady RUDELY said no can't do that either. So i sat thirsty and hungry while my friends ate there cream tea. I will never go back there, neither will my friends, why i could not have a can of lemonade is beyond me, do they not want customers?
