Fresh Naan in Peterborough

A lovely place for a coffee and recharge .

Visited Saturday afternoon for a cold drink and scone. Wanted to sit outside as it was such a nice afternoon. The only free table was literally stacked with dirty plates,glasses,cups,cans. I went inside and although the entire place was empty EVERY table was also stacked with dirty crockery!! Half eaten meals,flies everywhere. One of the tables outside became vacant so I ordered my coke and scone and asked that the table be cleared.. A very reluctant lad came out and cleared the debris,didn’t bother to wipe the spilt salt,ketchup and general mess up. Another customer was loading dirty plates from her table onto another but still nobody bothered to clear up. My scone came out like molten rock,it had clearly been zapped too long in the microwave. When it had cooled down enough to hold I tried to cut the scone,it was rock hard. By this time the staff were out enjoying the chaos that was happening in the grounds of the cathedral and clearly weren’t interested in customers. Definitely won’t be returning,the whole place was dirty.

Not the greatest at all, too many large vehicles weaving in and out of you whilst shopping and not sounding horn was so close to the pallet that it was carrying hitting me. Also seen lots of meat In the halal section that appeared to have bad freezer burn. Flies everywhere , fruit and veg unpriced. The bitcher section had joints of meat with labels torn so couldn't see use by date or price. The scales at the check out were filthy. The staff just laugh at you when you ask them a question...

I have read previous reviews of this cafe so can only hope this was just a bad day. After looking around the lovely cathedral this seemed the ideal place for refreshments. My partner joined the queue for food only to be told when he eventually got to be served he was in the wrong queue as we only wanted soup. There were no signs to tell us this. We then sat for at least 25 minutes for it to be brought to us. When it finally arrived after we had asked twice where it was, it was barely warm. Im not sure what had happened on the next table but before the food even arrived they asked for a refund. After tasting the almost cold soup we did the same and promply left, leaving our uneaten food on the table. The only explanation they offered was that there had been a rush on. There was certainly no rush when we left and Im not sure why that would be the reason for serving cold food. It is such a shame as it is letting the cathedral down which I have to say was very impressive. My advice would be to avoid this cafe at all costs

Excellent night in Henry Royce with a couple of friends. Excellent staff, friendly and good, best priced beer in town. A classic pub! In ptown.
