We tried to have refreshments here on Friday 20 Sep at 4:20 pm, having checked their own website which said open until 5 pm. This was also clearly displayed on the door...which was firmly shut. What's the point of publishing opening times if they don't stick to them? Pathetic. Didn't even have the courtesy to put anything in the window to say "closing early" for whatever reason. So they probably operate like this all the time. Appalling customer service. Doesn't deserve to succeed, hopefully someone professional will take over instead.

It was all nice and cozy, and the staff was very polite. The only problem is the cappuccino and iced coffees. The taste of coffee is nowhere. It is like drinking plain water. Maybe it is time to buy proper coffee machines. This is my second visit, and I received plain water and paid for iced coffee/ cappuccino.

Takeaway section totally unprepared for lunchtime. Sold us a pizza which we were subsequently told they didn’t have to sell. Asked for a sausage roll, told it would take 15-20 minutes to heat up because the kitchen was busy because it was lunchtime. Staff openly bickering in front of customers and unhelpful despite clearly having two hungry children with us.

Amazing cream scones. They had extremely good service and everything looked really good. There was a huddle of people waiting before 10 and as it opened everyone went up and there was an amazing atmosphere.

Came here for the first time for lunch, food was okay, panini bread tasted like it was frozen and not fresh and chips didn’t really have any taste, staff were very friendly and it’s a nice place just a shame the food is average.

The place looks nice! However, the staff were not pleasant! The first time I came here was on a very early Sunday morning when the place had just opened, I wanted to have an ice loly and drink outside on the balcony but couldn’t because I was told this was part of the restaurant (at time in the morning seats were empty, which there were many of!). A bit disappointed because it was actually my birthday but hey that’s the rules and I’ll go with it. The second time… I called in advance to check the closing times of the car park and explained I wanted to come down and was worried I may get trapped in at 6:30pm. The lady on the phone was very short and so uninterested in my call that I felt brushed off… she said that she thinks it will be fine. So down I came 👀 arriving to the cafe at 5:27pm… to be told they’re closing the restaurant and cafe! This is a weird time to close. Surely you could have let me buy an ice loly at least in this 27 degree heat within I assume your last 3 mins of being open. Very bad communication. I don’t usually leave bad reviews but felt so disappointed by these encounters, I had to voice this so they can hopefully improve. :(

Nice little restaurant, this was my first time visiting, It was good, I have docked a star on food and service which I will explain below. We came as part of my wife's birthday celebrations for lunch, mainly because we saw the picture of the cream scones and both of us were craving a cream tea. I am disabled and use a mobility scooter so we checked the website to make sure it was accessible as we knew it was upstairs and saw there was a lift. Unfortunately when we got there or was out of order, had we known we probably would have gone elsewhere but we decided to stay and I got myself up the stairs slowly and carefully, there was note to say ask for assistance if needed but we managed, thats why I docked a star on service. Food wise we had Paninis which were great, came with Tortilla chips and salad which was a lovely light lunch and reasonably priced as well. The only slight disappointment was the scones, they looked amazing but were quite dry, not the best scones, the jam and cream were spot on and fresh but the scone let it down a bit. To be honest I think it may have been how they are stored after being prepared in an open cabinet, we may have had one that was sitting for a while as we came well after opening. These things won't put us off coming again though, it's a lovely little restaurant with good friendly staff, the view over the reservoir was great and on a nicer day it would be amazing to sit outside on the balcony. We will be back but may leave it a while so the lift has a chance to get fixed.

Having been to many of the local reservoirs and cafés, this remains one of the best. The café has a good selection of food, prepared freshly, promptly and tastes good. The staff are friendly and some other local cafés could do with sending their staff here to see how it should be done! The reservoir itself has paved walkways all the way round meaning its accessible for everyone. The entire route is open again meaning you can now do the full lap which is a great walk The only thing that let's it down is the cleanliness of the toilets. Doesn't matter when I've been, they have always been disgusting

Went there for coffee, the staff were super friendly, the coffee was good. £6.10 for a black coffee and a cappuccino, so reasonably priced, and £5 for all day parking - which seems a bit steep during the week especially in winter. The selection of pastries and cakes looked pretty appetising and the food seemed reasonable priced, but I tried neither. But I have an excuse to visit again. The view of the reservoir from the restaurant is pretty stunning. Next time I'll

Discovered this place due to work, I have only moved to the Midlands recently from London. Absolutely love it here, dog walkers, joggers, cyclists, calm waters and plenty of wildlife in their natural habitat, it's a place to come to for mental clarity, feed the ducks & go for a walk. Absolutely blissful and wonderful place.

We came here for the first time having come for a walk and we were really hungry! We used the lift to get upstairs which was quite honestly terrifying, only to find out you can enter via the slope at the top The ladies were so nice and made sure we had a good table with our buggy. Way more choice then we thought I had a jacket potato with cheese and tuna My husband a burger, food was nice, burger quite expensive but it did look good when it came and the chips, salad and onion rings were yummy Service was brilliant very quick and friendly There is lots of adverts for organised events and walks etc.

To be fair, the breakfast was of good quality, but for the money it's awful value. Nearly £28 for 2 breakfast and 2 coffee's is extortionate. And that is after you pay £3 to park. No wonder it was empty. Also, the facade on the balcony is in desperate need of a good clean.

We had a breakfast wrap each with extra hash browns. We also had a scone and took home a brownie. The breakfast wrap was nice, good quality meat and cheese used. We would order this again if we are in the area again. The scone was okay, a little stale but not too bad. Not sure on the brownie until we have it later. We spent £29. Unfortunately, there was an influx of wasps and my partner is allergic. The staff had covered most of the cakes on display with cling film. One came towards us and was frantically flying around. So, we swiftly left, luckily after eating most of the food. We went on a dreary day and sat inside, but it was still nice to be near to the water.

Ate here recently for the Fathers Day breakfast special but have eaten here many times previously. We chose a table on the outside balcony which gives a great view over the reservoir (where you can watch the dinghy racing and fishermen) and surrounding countryside. The food is always nicely cooked & presented and service is friendly. Prices are reasonable, especially given the scenic location. They also have an extensive gluten free menu which friends have used and said is also good quality.

Poor signposting to state the path loop is not possible around the entire reservoir. It was literally the last 20% or so, but you either backtrack on yourself or take a huge diversion into the surrounding villages and risk walking on the busy road. So you're in for a long walk back. Check the website before you travel. Else, expect the inconvenience.

Nice cafe with good views of the reservoir. But they need far more vegan options. Firstly, customers should not be expected to ask for the vegan menu - the vegan menus should be prominently displayed and available with all other menus. There need to be far more vegan cakes and snacks available - a vegan flapjack is not sufficient. Plenty of the cakes, scones and pastries can and should be converted to a fully vegan/plant-based recipe.

I can't refer to this place as Malancha as it remains forever in my memory as Omars. Last time here I had a very acceptable meal. But, mid week dinner several years later, with a different name on the door not so much. Pre booked a table for x3 at 19.00hrs and on arrival I can honestly say, I've had warmer welcomes from my dentists. Pre booked a table for three, mentioned that we had a reservation and the guy looked at us gone out. Bit like Katie Price in a library. Oh and as a fuller figured gentleman, some may say fat git (& they'd be right!) It'd be nice if they unlocked both the outside doors. So me and my mate sat at the table waiting for our colleague and eventually got offered a drink and poppadoms but we declined the latter until arrival of our friend who had driven from Birmingham to meet us. The cabaret consisted of one of the waiters picking his nose, then inspecting the fruits of his efforts and bashing on with serving the guests. Nice. We all agreed that the food was underwhelming. Cant be bothered to go into detail about the dishes we were served, perfectly edible but yeah, non of us had our taste buds entertained. Couldn't be arsed to have the conversation with them as I suspect any attempt to improve would've been fruitless. Look , try for yourselves, you may have a completely satisfactory meal, I hope you do so please - give it a whirl I was hopeful the son of Omars would be up to par but sadly my search for a good Indian restaurant in the Rugby area, like Lord Sugar looking for his next apprentice, continues.
