A lovely little cafe, the gingerbread latte was the best I have had so far this year! The prices are rather steep, especially as it seems a busy little coffee shop!

Disappointing. Coffee cold. Added 50p for oat milk and 20p for decaf. Total £4.20 for a very small cup!

This coffee house looks impressive from the outside but be warned it is very pricey. We ordered to lattes + two small mince pies, total cost: £14.00 The service was very good but there were no individual prices shown on the display as you walked in. We couldn’t find anywhere displaying the price of the small mince pies anywhere. Couldn’t believe it when we came to pay even the receipt only showed total cost no individual prices of what we had. We shall not be frequenting this coffee house again.

Nice food👍🏻 We ordered all day breakfast and Pate, which were good , and the pumpkin spiced latte was very nice! The apple pie we took away was delicious, not too sweet and still can taste the hint of sour from the apple.

Not sure I could call this a coffee house. Ordered a flat white - wasn’t a flat white at all and when asked where the beans are from I was just show a bag and told “from this bag”. No excuses in todays game to not produce a good coffee. Source your beans from a local(ish) roaster. Train staff on the coffee machine. Sausage and bacon sandwich had one sausage in it cut in half with 2 rashers of bacon. Must have been short of sausages on that day.

A right con job! They offer coffee and a mince tart for £5.25 and then when you order two they tell you when you come to pay it’s only if you buy Kenco coffee! So they sell you a coffee with no real taste and a dried up mince tart but your bill is almost £13! A right rip off!!! Don’t worry there are plenty of cafes in Southwell!

This looked like a nice independent cafe. It appeared promising when we went inside. We ordered coffee from a waitress. A couple of other waiting staff also came to our table. The coffee arrived. It was weak and barely drinkable- we all agreed. Surely a cafe can serve nice coffee?

Jacket potato was very dry throughout. Definitely cooked for too long. Chilli tasted ok but the rice was very watery. The waitress was very polite but the girl behind the counter lacked customer service skills. I’d say this place was more of a tea room than a lunch time cafe.

My husband and I visited Gossips on Friday 21st July 2023 at around 10am for breakfast. We have visited Gossips for the last 10 years and like to support local businesses. However our experience this time was disappointing. My husband and I found a table and waited to be served. The lady waitress who was in charge proceeded to clear the tables and did not acknowledge us…she continued to clear and wipe the tables. There were no other customers waiting to be served! Approx 10 mins went by…then a younger girl came to take our order. We had our breakfast then proceeded to the counter to pay. ( we were the only ones at the counter paying). The waitress who ignored us earlier then said ‘was everything ok sorry for the wait’ before taking payment. So my husband and I both came to the conclusion that the waitress knew we were waiting and consciously made a decision to ignore us! We were not impressed at all.

We called into Gossips for lunch when shopping in Southwell. First impressions were very good, very clean and well ventilated with well spaced out tables and chairs. It was good to see a menu with more than one vegetarian option as well as choices on the lunch time specials board. We both chose the nut roast which was served with a jacket potato and salad and was excellent. Friendly efficient service and great value for money. Although one toilet appeared to be out of use to accommodate the outdoor seating the one next to it was in operation and didn't create a problem

I was looking for a vegan option in Southwell and this was the only eatery with a vegan option on their menu online. I had the baked potato with beans which was fine but others in my group had a disappointing small portion of bland pate and toast and a lasagne with contained peas, sweetcorn and celery?! It seemed like they just threw in some leftovers and covered it in thick greasy melted cheese. The staff seemed fed up when we tried to order food (apart from a very cheerful waitress who was lovely) and the toilets were out of order. We were directed to the most disgusting public toilet I've ever seen. Disappointing all round.

Been to this place several times over the years for a hot drink and a cake, and never had any previous complaints as the cakes are home- made, very nice and plenty of choice.However, visited Southwell with my wife yesterday and we decided to call in for cake and cup of tea. They have reduced the number of tables to allow more distance between them and there were only two other couples besides us. We were getting close to leaving but my wife needed the toilet and it was only at that point that the manager said they were closed and we would have to use the toilets in the public car park, a very brisk 7 or 8 minute walk. My wife has previous experience of these, they are far from clean and cramped. Had we known when entering the building that the toilets were closed, then we would not have given them our custom, and gone elsewhere. Why not have a prominent sign in the café saying the toilets are not in use? Why are they not in use? Hardly a social distancing problem as I think there is one toilet for ladies and one for gents. When will they be in use again? Once the virus has disappeared? Which could be years. They were hardly overwhelmed with customers, so there wouldn't have been a queue. We felt it was an appalling situation and we had been deceived. Consequently, on principle, we won't be giving them any more of our custom on future visits to Southwell. This rating is for the toilet situation and not for the food/drink.

Excellent find. Extensive menu covering breakfast,lunch and afternoon tea. We chose omelette and chilli con carne. Excellent, good service and not too long await for food. Reasonable access for less able customers as you enter but access to toilets would be more of a challenge. These are situated outside across a yard, ok for dry sunny days but not ideal. Changes are difficult in a conservation area with neighbours having access across the yard. Plenty of seating upstairs. Well worth a visit, you won’t be disappointed.

Been visiting Gossips for years at least once or twice a month since I was a teenager. I’ve always liked its old fashioned charm. However the past 2/3 visits I’ve been really disappointed. I visit mainly with my toddler these days who is extremely well behaved. No tantrums or misbehaving just to be very clear.However the staff have not made us feel unwelcomed. The older lady who used to smile now frowns as soon as she sees I have a child with me. One of the younger male waiters was abrupt with me on my last visit, I actually felt myself go red with embarrassment with his tone to me with other customers in ear reach. The children’s menu I feel compared to other establishments is very small. I could not see any cold options. No sandwiches etc which is odd for a cafe. I asked if I could have just a plain simple sandwich for my daughter only to be told that I could have a sandwich but would be charged the full price for a adults sized one. I just wanted basically 1 slice of ham and white bread. Nothing fancy. Knowing that she was hungry and it was raining I agreed, but £5 for what arrived was and is appalling! I do hope the manager takes note and adds a few more cold options to the children’s menu and whilst I appreciate the majority of clientele are of the older generation it is the younger generation that will one day become the older. And if you keep mis treating them simply we will go elsewhere with our money. The total bill came to £12/13 which for 2 below average plain sandwiches and a coffee is far to high compared to other local venues and in truth I will definitely think twice before coming back.

All good, nothing to light up the world, a little canteen like with the food cellophane wrapped at the counter and metal teapots. Individually wrapped sugar portions show it’s due some contemporary thinking. The two girls who served us were great, the guy was a little sullen but maybe it’d been a long day. Great homemade scone with proper cream and generous on the jam and an excellent location - a lot of competition around there!

Visited here today after a walk along the river, was very disappointed. I had a latte which was bitter and my partner a tea which was undrinkable and we both had a scone each,with jam and cream, no butter,which had obviously been frozen and then defrosted, they were hard and crumbly. The most disappointing part was that everything was served in cardboard trays and cups and there were no trays to carry the food out on. This meant that I had to take everything out in two trips, this was not a problem in itself but this all suggests to me that the staff are too lazy to do things properly and to use proper plates, cups and cutlery. So for two virtually inedible scones and two drinks we paid £12 which is daylight robbery and if the staff continue in an this way I can't be see them having a business for much longer especially as all the other cafes etc we saw were very busy.
