We had booked Afternoon Tea for 4 people at 2.30. We arrived at 2.20 and sat down at our table, which had my name on the reservation. We sat there and sat there and sat there, whilst very young members of staff walked past us with orders or were clearing tables, but completely ignored us - not even an acknowledgement that we had arrived. After 1/2 hour I got up to go to order at the counter and was told that someone would come over to the table shortly. 5 minutes later, our orders were taken and drinks finally arrived. The Afternoon Tea arrived after a further 25 minutes. Halfway through eating, we asked another junior member of staff if we could have more tea and another cold drink. We reminded an even more junior member of staff 15 minutes later (who just replied "that's fine"). The additional drinks didn't arrive, and we had finished our Afternoon Tea by this time! I stopped another young girl and asked her to cancel the drinks - she knew nothing about the order! Food was reasonable (if not a little OTT) but service was appalling. Wouldn't go back. Disappointing really, as it was a Christmas voucher and we wanted to support local businesses. Processing the voucher also involved all junior members of staff not knowing what to do with it, and the chef himself was called out to redeem the voucher (which was really just taking it off me!) In my opinion, the cafe needs someone older front facing who can actually welcome in customers and make them feel as though their business is important to the cafe.

Stopped for breakfast when staying in the local travel lodge. Lovely staff, great food and nice to see sausages from the local butcher. Great food presentation. The decor is all very cute but there is a lot of it. Makes it difficult to really see any theme or any nice piece.

ive been to E&R before and the food was very nice, this time me and one of my friends went for tea and cake the tearoom looks very welcoming and on arrival i went up the counter and was looking at the cakes. The young man behind the counter was friendly and chatty as i oggled over all the lovely cakes and treats! the young lady who took our order was friendly and helpful too (all a very young team we noticed) our drinks and cakes were lovely! we were both sad when we've finished our cakes off! I had a slice of the Red Velvet and my friend had the Lemon and Blueberry. The only negative thing we noticed was how sticky the menus were, we had to peel them off the table cloth to be able to read them!! Also the plastic table cloth on the table was very sticky and still had some traces of jam on it from a previous sitting. we saw a gentlemen cleaning the table next to us, using a cleaning spray but the cloth he was using looked very dirty. So overall, great drinks and cakes but we think they need to improve their cleaning. the menus getting a proper wipe down and clean so they're not sticky and also to make them hygienically clean. Also the tables being wiped down properly so they're not sticky either. We'll be back again im sure to E&R as the food is great and the staff all friendly and helpful. They just need up their cleaning standards with the tables etc.

Lovely lunch. Great value for money. Lovely individual setting. We nipped off the M6 and spotted the cafe as we drove through and it was well worth the visit. Need to go back to try out the afternoon tea which looked delicious

Great place to take kids to. Lovely ice cream and well worth the price. Especially the large tubs to take home for the freezer!

This is a regular lunch spot for us as food is very well priced, staff are friendly and always happy to answer questions. Very knowledgeable about the menu and allergies. Only negative is the size of mushy pea portion !!!...

Always a pleasure to visit the Freemasons. From friendly staff, an excellent owner, or takes the time to talk to everyone, to the excellent drinks and delicious food. The atmosphere is always jumping, be it sports day or live music outside. Never dead, always friendly, fun, and the place to be/go. Summer time is "lo mas excelente" 👌

Fairly disappointing really! ### Response to Reply I am sorry you cant take honest feedback! After hundreds of reviews and over 300,000 views on them this is the first time I have be called overbearing, had a bad tone or manner (and which one of the 4 of us are you referring too). This is just to save face and be personal! Our table was polite in the way we raised the numerous issues and I feel that if you can not take honest feedback then this is a shame and it show that you are unwilling to learn from your customers bad experiences! I do however concede that Kilworth house has increased their prices since we last went but it was still a much more pleasant experience regardless of the amount you pay! As for posting on this platform, that is what is here for. Thank you ================================ So 4 of use went for afternoon tea today and was treated by a lovely lady who explained the cakes and what's included. First of all would you pay £36 for this tier of food, 4 triangles of sandwiches, 2 scones, cream, Jam and a choice of cake. Some crisps and a few strawberries and blackberries? This is £18 a head .... hmm The crisps were soft and clearly been opened and stored in the fridge. The filling on and sandwiches was minimal, apart for the tuna. The scone was OK and the Rocky road had a hint of chocolate but not very tasteful. The first server went home sick and we had no check back or water we asked for until the manager came over and offered us £10 off the bill. Which was nice. However when we came to pay we got charged for 5 afternoon teas at £80!!! Ouch We did raise this and was refunded. It was all just a bit hard work. Asking for things several times, soft food! Billed incorrectly! All just very unorganised. I have had much better from Kilworth House ..... sorry!
