Hemswell Antique Centres Coffee Shop in West Lindsey

Went for afternoon tea for a birthday treat . There was lots of choice, had a savoury option and a sweet option . This was amazing and was good value . Would recommend this for an afternoon tea experience. Defitnitely will return.

I wish to thank Tracey and her wonderful Team for the best afternoon tea I have ever had. We booked at short notice and on our arrival our table was set with a pretty tablecloth and lovely china. The food was very fresh, beautifully presented and plenty of it. The Staff were very attentive and friendly and even offered us doggy-bags for the leftovers. Well done !

Went while getting the car sorted and was looked after very well. Very grateful to Katy M and the rest of the team. Nice relaxed spot for cake and drink.

Stale scone. End of cake. Poor flat white coffee. Indifferent Caramel Macchiato. Staff more interested in closing up than serving. It was still two hours until scheduled closing time.

As a couple we visited the cafe for a mid afternoon sandwich. Presenting ourselves at the counter in what was a very quiet cafe, we asked the lady at the till for a sandwich to go with our hot drinks only to be told by the assistant that they don’t serve sandwiches after 3pm. A fair comment, however it was 2.50pm at that time by our phones and watches in fact the cafe clock above the till was showing only 2.46pm. Having pointed this out to the assistant she said that she would ask the kitchen if they were prepared to make a sandwich. Seconds later the assistant said that the kitchen said that would not make a sandwich without any explanation. We naturally assumed that the staff couldn’t be bothered even though the cafe was till open for over another hour. The coffee was good, the fairly ambivalent customer service not so much. At least there are other cafes on site.

The woman on the till is extremely rude. I realise she has to tell people to put their tray in a different place many times a day but it is the manner in which she speaks to people is hostile. She works in hospitality. If she doesn't like talking to people she should find another job

Lovely place been going there for years. Great food, service,coffee and atmosphere and adjoining one of the best antique centres around.

A Friday lunchtime (fish & chip special day) was perhaps not the ideal time to visit but there always seem to be tables available despite being pretty busy. Staff work extremely hard to do the food service and keeping tables cleared. Opted for a coffee, sausage roll (very tasty) and cakes instead of a cooked meal, although we arrived at midday as hot meals were being served.

Popped in for a snack whilst visiting the antiques centre. Plenty of seating inside and out. Good selection of snacks on offer. Coronation chicken sandwich was spot on. Good selection of cakes on offer. Service with a smile and very quick. Good value for money.

Having visited Hemswell Antiques for a browse of the Antiques which I have done a few times, I went in for a coffee and some cake (a bit of a treat) into the coffee shop in building one. I must say there was plenty to choose from I have a bit of a sweet tooth so I could of eaten more. The service was great from the staff and I was greeted with a smile and I had no trouble getting a table. It nice to see that the coffee shop decor was done by one of the dealers and items are available to buy. However I have been looking on trip advisor to see if someone was going to complain as I overheard another customer being very rude to what I heard was the coffee shop manager. I believe it was regarding gluten free. The manager was very polite and was trying to speak to the lady but I don't think anything she said she would of been happy with and personally I thought the lady was down right rude Sandra R . I am very happy with the service and would definitely return. Keep making those gorgeous cakes.

I had a poor experience when I challenged the manager here about the "gluten free" food they provided me. I reacted badly after my meal there. I tried to bring it to the attention of the manager to prevent anyone else having the same issues. She was only interested in denying there was a problem, not in tracking down the source or offering an apology

Visited this venue twice recently with friends after spending many hours browsing around the Antiques Centres. Looking forward to refreshments we were not disappointed …wide fresh variety of choice both savoury & sweet courses & yummy cakes to choose from. Very reasonably priced too! We all enjoyed the lovely, laid-back atmosphere & appreciated the friendly, helpful staff who go out of their way to help. Highly recommend this as a ‘pit-stop’ between browsing the Antiques & Garden Centre. We will return soon…thank you everyone concerned!

The best Aternoon Tea I’ve ever had and the cost was such great value. A visit is a must! When you book in advance the staff will ask what you would like. It is catered to your requirements and everything is homemade and not just pulled out of a freezer.

My husband took me here for a treat and it was lovely! I had avocado on sourdough toast with poached eggs and they kindly let me have mushrooms too, hubby on the veggie breakfast. Great service, friendly staff, beautiful surroundings, both inside and out - and the lovely antiques shop at the rear for a browse after eating. 10/10!

Stopped for a snack prior to shopping at Hemswell. Sandwiches sounded tempting, choice of thick brown or white bread and deep filled. At just over £5 what we actually got was not deep filled, thick bread. The bread appeared to be the sort of brown sliced ‘value’ loaf from a budget supermarket, averagely filled. Accompanied by a mean portion of coleslaw and salad devoid of any type of dressing. Next time I won’t buy anything that I can’t actually see at the counter. Disappointing.

We visited at the end of January and breaded chicken ,veg and roast potatoes was the main meal, we both had it and it was lovely and worth the money, our veg was fresh. We got ours just as they were putting out more vegetables. The cake counter was full of choice ,we did manage to resist... but maybe next time. Staff were all polite but it was quite busy but served quickly.

Considering how this café used to be run it's such a disappointment now. Poor quality food, obviously pre-prepared and warmed up - not good. Their sliced ham many years ago and choice of good quality cuisine was worth our journey there but that is many eons ago. Times have changed but not for the better. Antique centre itself still excellent. Also, toilets were in poor condition and due a makeover. Considering the lockdown you would think the owners would have taken the opportunity to give them a good clean but pipes are rusty/dirty and tiles and grout which edge nearest to the floor were filthy.

What a waste of good money, roast pork, roasties and veg all stone cold, roasties were like leather, mash lumpy, broccoli raw, some carrots cooked others raw, minute amount of pork but hey the gravy was tasty, what do you expect for £7.45. Won’t be eating there again

I usually do a half day at Hemswell every few months. I'd not stopped for tea and cake before, but as it looked fairly quiet I took advantage. Given it was quiet, and social distancing in mind, I couldn't immediately get to the counter as a member of staff had chosen that moment to tidy up the display. I stood for several minutes before being noticed and eventually able to collect a tray. Earl Grey is available if you ask. Small selection of cakes under glass domes, I opted for Lincolnshire Plum Bread (new to me !). Contactless Card / Phone Payment available. Great seating area outside.

Popped in to have a look around at the antiques. Decided to visit the Hemswell antique coffee shop. We weren’t disappointed. We enjoyed a pot of tea for two! One with semi skimmed milk the other with soya. My Son is vegan he loved the chocolate and orange vegan tart that they recommended. Good to see a vegan option. Excellent service from the cheerful staff. Thank you all x

Hemswell is an old RAF base that as a collective of Antique Centres requires best part of a day to do it justice. That being the case you will require a break and this is the more established of the cafes on site. There is a good selection of refectory fare, hot meals, soup, salads, sandwiches and cake with a good selection of hot and cold drinks. Select a table, indoors or out, order and pay at the till, take your number grab your cutlery etc and wait for the food to be delivered to your table. Service is usually prompt and efficient and the food is well prepared.

Have been before, love looking at the antiques and collectables. Had coffee in the cafe. A lovely couple of hours spent

We visited the antique centre and stopped off for tea and cakeThe egg custard was the best I have ever hadThe stuff and friendlyI will definitely visit again

Great value for money, with good homemade fare on sale. Scones are FAB. Relaxing atmosphere along with some delightful works of art by Doddington Art Group to peruse and take home?

We visited last wednesday and both my wife and I had a lunch, nothing fancy just a home cooked pie, thoroughly enjoyable and reasonably priced, although quite a big room it was busy but still had a nice feel about it. Will call in again

Popped in here for a spot of lunch, food was very nice but a bit overpriced, service was quick and staff polite, would return again if in the area

Wij bestelden 2 panini met bbq chicken. Er werd niet vermeld dat de bbq chicken er niet was. Er lagen 4 stukjes gekookte kip in een ondefineerbare saus en dit voor Pond 6.25. Een grote aanfluiting en kraak nog smaak.

We visited for coffee and cake on August 28th a Wednesday afternoon. My husband chose plum bread and I chose a fruit scone. My scone was very hard to cut. It was solid and very dry on the inside. When I took it back the assistant said ‘well I don’t know why it was fresh this morning!’ I make scones myself and that scone was about 2 days old, if it was a supermarket it would have been removed from sale! Rather than start an argument I said ‘can I have plum bread instead please?’Not only should this scone never have been on sale. I should have been treated with courtesy, and been given an apology. I should not have been treated as if I was at fault. We also noticed several tables had not been cleared. All in all a most unsatisfactory experience!

Cafe in number 1 was very disappointing last week when a friend travelled from Oxfordshire to visit. Years and years we have been visiting and buying from here - and using the cafe: and it saddened me to have staff seem so uninterested and less than helpful .. verging on rude! ! All we wanted was a soup and sandwich and service with a smile! I was embarrassed to have my friend and I spoken to and treated so brusquely by cafe counter staff. My friend just laughed and said “well that’s Lincolnshire for you” .. stuck in a rut! .. wouldn’t happen anywhere else! “ Good manners and politeness don’t cost a thing! Impressions last forever. Some customer care refresher training wouldn’t go amiss! Sadly the cafe in number 1 building let Hemswell antiques centre down on this occasion.

We had coffee in both the coffee shop and the restaurant, which was very good,even though I do think it's a little over priced at £2.90 for a large latte/cappuccino (even though I don't think we were given a large in the coffee shop) My only concern was the sizes of the coffee's did differ in the 2 cafe's?? They were completely different sizes, but the same price? Why are there latte glasses but they weren't used for the lattes in the coffee shop, there were plenty clean. Nice and clean in both places and nice service. Could do with some newspapers.

Two coffee shops in different parts of the antiques centre, as we were here a good few hours, we spent time in both. Service friendly, teas and coffees ok, cheese scones not very cheesey but edible. I thought a little pricey at £9.40 for two scones and two teas.

We called in here for the Sunday roast dinner, which is served carvery style. The meal was hot and the range of vegetables etc was good. The veggies are self serve, which is a good idea as you can get as much/little as you want.

Have been to this cafe a few times over the years. No previous problems. This morning stopped by for a hot drink and tea cake. We were the first customers in there, The lady who served us was not welcoming at all, mo smile, no welcome, she took our order a coffee and 2 cappuccinos, 2 teacakes and a lemon cake. It came across that she didnt want to be there at all. So we got the cake and the 2 cappuccinos. My daughter went up for the other coffee, which she accused us of not ordering, which we did, this was treated with unhelpfulness like we were a nuisance. So we got the other coffee and sat down for the tea cakes to come, they came and they were both very dry, my daughters being stale. I went up and complained about my daughters - explaining that it was stale, to which the lady said they were fresh this morning, she finished serving some customers, and snatched out their recipt from the till, and thumped it on the counter in a moody way, i thought her comment was rude and uncalled for, instead of saying, oh I'm sorry what would you like instead. With great disgust she gave me a piece of cake for my daughter. This was my day off and was shocked and upset to be treated like this. My teacake was so dry I couldn't eat it, but didnt bother going to complain as I was not going to be treated in such a disgusting way again. I expect customer service to be at least acceptable, if not fantastic, not dismissive and insulting

This is a pleasant cafe in the middle of the antiques centre,nothing spectacular but nothing wrong. The room seemed clean and tidy, tea was fine but my latte was a bit tasteless. A useful facility in this location.

The Café was clean and tidy, The food was cooked to order and the Quality was good. We had three different Panini's and two types of Coffee all of which arrived Hot

Lovely lunch time meal in very pleasant surroundings. Well presented and swiftly served. All in all a very good experience.

We paid a visit to the antiques centre and popped in to the cafe before we started.

Hemswell Antiques centre is a massive place with something for everyone, the choice is endless.

Visited with friends recently and we are regulars to The antique centre so coffee and cake are always welcome but on our last couple of visits here the cake has been disappointing. It looks lovely in the display cabinet but the red velvet cake I had and a cream tea were very poor, scones were so thin they couldn't be sliced in two to allow for jam and cream and the red velvet cake was stodgy and solid. Very unpalatable. We have never had full meals here so can only comment on what we have purchased.

All I can say is that if you want a really good feed for your money, this is the place. The beef pie is spectacular.

The coffee shop in located in Building 1. It is a comfortable place with a nice view of the outside lawn. The food can be sandwiches or fresh cooked roasts. The prices are very reasonable and a good place to rest while shopping.

Called in for Sunday roast (we have visited before) and enjoyed the meal vegetables roast potatoes gravy all excellent but my beef was fairly tough (and that goes for the lamb as well I'm told) being either poorly cooked or of poor quality meat not sure which so raise your game and test it out on yourselves before serving. Service here is very good by the way and worth a visit.

Visiting the centre with adult family we enjoyed an unexpectedly good lunch. Two of us had scones which we're excellent- substantial, fresh and served with proper clotted cream and jam (£3.95 version). I also had a latté which was above average. Our two guests both had freshly made sandwiches which were heartily enjoyed. Served with a nice looking side salad and homemade slaw.

Vastly over priced, lacking choice and stale scones ......head for the nearby garden centre better food better price! Another case of rip off Britain rip off the visitors !!! A disgrace

Chose cheese scones - which turned out to be dry and lacked flavour. Bakewell slice which shot across the table when we tried to cut it - it was so dry. Earl Grey tea which was so old it tasted like nothing I have ever experienced and certainly no hint of that true Earl Grey taste of bergamot. We will not be returning!

Friendly service, clean facilities and a nice satisfying lunch. Made even better by the weather, glorious sunshine and lovely outside area. Ok it wasn’t a pub garden but it was pleasant and convenient break from the office!

We enjoy visiting this cafeafter looking round the antique Centre's. The surroundings are pleasant but the items on the menu seem expensive for the portion sizes. Since our last visit it seems to have put the prices up. The drinks could have been cheaper too.

Here today sole diner. Al fresco...delightful. excellent quiche and salad. Could not fault it. Have eaten here several times. Good experiences.

Unfortunately we stopped here for a pit stop and ordered 2 slices of cake and 2 drinks.

I had to bypass the cakes; but they looked fantastic and quite possibly the BIGGEST SCONES I have EVER SEEN. I was also very impressed with my RAF Bomber plane cappuccino.

Gave this place another go after disappointing visit last time.

Enjoyable cottage pie with all the veg so tasty on a very cold winter's day. Pleasant surroundings and polite, helpful staff

A large room with plenty of tables but not impersonal in any way. The staff are friendly and polite and everywhere seems to be spotlessly clean. The home-made scones (which we always have) are definitely home-made (in the best possible way), the coffee is good and the prices are reasonable. Recommended.

Lovely atmosphere and pleasant staff. The coffee was fresh and the cake deliciously home made. Very clean and we enjoyed our visit

Always have to have tea and cake when visiting the antiques centres to refuel, and this one is the best. Chocolate Orange cheesecake is fabulous - just as nice as the blueberry and oreo ones I had in the past - and really tasted of chocolate orange! Hope they have more nice cakes when I visit again within next few months.

Very pleasant visit. Lovely tea and cake. Staff very friendly. Good value and nice selection of sweet and savoury.

Having explored lots of buildings crammed with interesting items, the Hemswell Antique Centres' Coffee Shop was a relaxing break to...

visited antiques centre spotted the sign for coffee shop thought we would have a drink ended up ordering a hot...

We have been to hemswell centre many times, but this is first time we have tried the coffee shop. Friendly...

Visited the antiques centre and stopped off in the café for lunch...the café is large, clean and bright with lots...

Pedimos un desayuno inglés completo y un bacon y salchichas un buen sándwich ubicada a 7 minutos antes de las 12. 00 corte para servir el desayuno. Sin embargo, a pesar de que antes la corte anunciado en el que parecía ser un problema de orden y nos hicieron sentir como si estaba siendo hecho un favor de proporcionar la comida. En la justicia el desayuno estaba bien, pero llego a lo que considera una placa de tamaño. para niños El tocino y salchichas con bacon no vino sándwich ubicada! Lección aprendida para la próxima vez que vaya a Hemswell.

Después de una hora en coche, y luego otro par de horas de navegación, el café está justo en el lugar adecuado en el momento adecuado.

visited the cafe at the weekend was a little surprised to find they don't do sausage rolls nor do you get milk with your coffee only plastic cream and flora was the only option no butter available, service was ok and the cafe itself was up to scratch i just feel they could try a bit harder

We typically visit the Hemswell Centre once every couple of months for a look through all the fab little rooms and will pop in to the cafe for a bite to eat and a coffee at some point in the day.Prices are reasonable and the staff are friendly enough.They do have a calvery and soup of the day but we tend to have a sandwich and one of the slices of cake or scones on offer, all very tasty.

Called in for a sandwich during a trip to the antiques shops. Cafe was pleasant and clean. Ordered sausage bap that came freshly cooked after a 10 minute wait.The cafe was clean, well run and food good. Toilets were clean and tidy.

Very dirty, had to take our tea cups back twice as they were dirty. The trays are dirty. The table could be cleaner. The salt and pepper on table were dirty. The chairs have an inch of dust. Not impressed at all. Bring a flask next time is my advice.

We visited the coffee shop for a light snack while at the antiques centre. It is clean and pleasant, with a good selection of sandwiches, light meals, cakes etc.

Lovely Roast Dinner with the family, seasonal vegetables were a little over cooked and lacking in colour, all the meats were lovely and well cut and a reasonable pice for the region. It was Avery busy afternoon but that was to be expected the £2 adult door fee is refunded with coffee shop purchase so you may as well grab a drink while your here.

A proper Antique center plenty to see and all very well laid out with room to walk around without banging in to stuff as you go , you could easily spend the day here , there's plenty of parking good toilets , places to get a snack or a main meal definitely gets a big thumbs up from me ..

We ate great muffins, and drank great coffee here, on several occasions over a 2 day visit. Very impressive.

After some strenuous antique hunting in the various centres at Hemswell it was good to head for the Coffee Shop for something to eat and drink. A busy day at the centres, but the Coffee Shop was not too crowded, and we arrived just after 12.00 midday which is when the lunchtime specials start. The range on the standard menu is good, but we opted for the Liver & Sausage with Mash special, and we were encouraged to serve ourselves with a range of vegetables. A large latte and a toffee and pecan slice to follow meant we were very pleasantly full after an enjoyable lunch. Nice setting, nice food and an ideal place to rest weary feet when trudging around the antiques centres.

Hemswell Cliff antiques centre is a great place to visit with a number of buildings to explore and at some stage you're gonna need a drink and perhaps something to eat and The Coffee Pot provides a much needed "pit stop". Whether it's just a cup of tea/coffee a fruit juice or something a little stronger you can't go wrong. If you need something more substantial you can take you're pick from a very varied menu and there's usually a special of the day (my wife was particularly taken with the cottage pie with its cheesy topping while i had the beef salad mmmmm delicious).

We visited Hemswell Centre to have a relaxing few hours wandering amongst the antique stalls and, as is usual, got a bit hungry so visited the Cafe/Coffee shop for lunch, going in about 1pm.There were plenty of tables and our group pushed two together to make one table for the 7 of us.Though it didn't seem particularly busy, the staff were struggling to keep up with the orders, so the queue was quite slow moving. The orders didn't come out together as some items were kept in carvery or buffet style warmers and others, like paninis and hot baps, were prepared to order.The food itself was OK. Not brilliant, but not terrible either. Pretty much standard cafeteria fare. Pricing was about average, so I suppose that's the level to rate it - average.One point in their favour, it was clean!Maybe a quieter day would be better to eat here, when the staff can keep up.

Had the beef dinner. Bland tasteless undercooked veg watery gravy not even a york's pud. Quiche slimy at least it tasted of something. At least they got the grotty ceiling renovated

Good choice, plenty of room, no,problem finding tables. Menu changes regularly and is always interes and tasty.

Always have to have tea and cakes here when we are visiting Hemswell and when we visited it was not too busy so plenty of seating available. Tea was excellent and the cakes were very nice as well, just a shame that there was not any of their cheesecake selection available as I used to love their Oreo and Blueberry ones - that's why I did not give this coffee shop a 5/5 this time but still excellent though!

This is another must visit while at the antique centre. Good food cooked to order with a very good choice. Prices are very reasonable. Can eat outside in pleasant venue when it's warmer. Restaurant is a very pleasant place to eat and drink. Staff are friendly and attentive. Enjoyable placde to get your breath back during the tour of the centres

Visited here today with my girlfriend whilst taking in the fantastic antiques centres at Hemswell Cliff.Got in the cafe for a quick sandwich before travelling home and was met with rude service whilst we were in the queue about them stopping serving food now, 15 mins before their advertised closing time. I offered to take our business elsewhere - and I wish I had now!- and was told sullenly that it would be ok. The food is overpriced - £4 for a sausage and onion sandwich that I think could have been cooked in any greasy spoon better!My girlfriends tuna and cheese potato was ok though.Decidedly unimpressed at their service and attitude!

Called here en route from a shopping expedition! The cafe is bright clean and pleasant with outdoor seating if weather suitable. Food was very good -Jacket potato and salad and panini and salad, both cost around £5. Carvery would have been £7.50. Service was excellent with pleasant staff all the time.

We have been visiting Hemswell antiques centre for over 20 years now and on last 3 visits have been thoroughly disappointed with the coffee shop in building number 1.The teapots seem to have shrunk in the dishwasher (now a pot for 1 is what you get for a pot for 2 and are charged for 2 people!)I witenessed that the teapot size was exactly the same for 1 person as it is for 2,how can that be fair?!!Why do we now have to have egg with a bacon cob and onions with a sausage cob and if you don't want the add ons you will be charged for them anyway!I had the beef chilli with rice today which was dreadful too,chewy lumps of beef in a wishy washy sauce(mostly water from the boiled rice!) Was charged £5.95 for the mean and cheap tasting offering! Get your act together or sack the manager who came up with these changes they do not work and the only reason you get the custom is because there is nowhere else to eat on the site.Other than that Hemswell continues to be a good antique venue and worth a visit ,but take a packed lunch!!

Took a stop at the coffee shop on a day out at Hemswell had a very nice sandwich which included soup so was great value, soup was piping hot and very tasty sandwiches well made and and chunky so overall brilliant value. Great service and a nice break from the vast range of antiques and collectables. We will be back..

Called in to take a break from viewing all the wonderful antiques and collectables. What a lovely cafe. Clean, spacious and the food was great. Both my Husband and I had a sandwich with soup. Tried both varieties of the soup, tomato and basil and I had the carrot and corriander. Hot and very tasty. The sandwiches were freshly prepared and huge! Well worth a visit while you are at the antique centre.orth a visit

Fantastic place with buildings full of antiques dealers specializing in every kind of antique and collectibles good cafes and you could spend days here just looking and drooling over the items for sale. Really well worth a visit.

We popped in for a drink and snack whilst browsing through the abundance of treasures. We didn't have to wait to be served. The lady was very polite and helpful. We had one hot drink, one can of drink and 2 slices of cake. It came to just over £8, then the lady asked it we had our entrance ticket, this saved us £1 off the bill. The was a party sat outside, then one inside as well as ourselves, so the staff were not busy. However the tables were not clean and two still had plates etc left on them. The drinks and snacks were ok. I wouldn't be in a rush to return but it was ok for what we wanted.

fantastic upgrade to the restaurant, about time really as those sagging drabby coverings on the ceiling was well stained and dirty looking. Now wow so big and bright, mind you the prices could be a little cheaper for a lunch snacking menu. Good food anyway

Great new look!! Have been numerous times over the years. Plenty of choice..sandwiches, cakes, jackets and even Sunday Lunch!!

We visited on a Wednesday mid-morning and tried both the cafe in the Guardsroom centre and also the cafe in Building 1 antiques centre. Excellent coffee in both and a very tempting choice of cakes/scones at the second cafe. It wasn't busy, where presumably a weekend will be, so we were served straight away and plenty of tables to choose from. Nice and relaxing, excellent refreshments.

The food sounded great but was very disappointing. The homemade vegetable soup was totally tasteless and the dessert, when it finally arrived, was microwaved to boiling. The server handed us a burning plate from the hands of her oven gloves, spilled molten syrup on my hand and left with no words of warning. The pudding was microwaved so long it was rock hard. Such a shame to gave such poor servings at such a great venue

This is a cafe in the centre "H Block" in Hemswell Antiques Centre.They have a good lunch menu which is reasonably priced with a good choice of drinks.On Sunday they serve a Sunday Lunch for £7.50 which is very good although it can get busy.The lunch menu is mainly sandwiches, rolls and panini's. They have a choice of soups and a couple of main courses.It is fairly large place with plenty of tables and you note your table number and order at the till.This is a good place to eat and drink.

well priced and presented, stopped for refreshment after the car boot sale. Lots of choice and nice staff

Top antique centre . Lots to see across all the buildings. Really liked the antique fireplace collection in the Guardroom is was really different to see items like this . Nicely laid out buildings and good quality items for sale. Cafe was nice and food good. Enough choice of cake to keep,the kids amused and a nice place to relax after the monumental antique shop.

Popped in for a quick bite in Building one whilst working our way around the Antique centres. it was unclear whether we had to order then find a seat or find a seat first. We both ordered soup ( different kinds) the tables were fairly close together and getting amongst them when people were seated was tricky even for the slimmer customers! the soup was hot and peppery and a good price for what it was. The tented ceiling was stained suggesting that the roof leaks. I didn't see where the cutlery was as it wasn't supplied with the food on asking I was given a bit of an impatient 'over there' from a staff member, most places the staff point out to you where the cutlery can be obtained when they hand over the food.

Popped in here for a latte and full english before looking around all the antiques centres. Reasonably priced and very tasty - great start to our day :)

Excellent coffee and cake shame there is no soap in the gents toilets. Great way to spread germs on the back of the tightly packed coffee shop. Plus trays covered in gravy yuk! And nothing to wash you hands with.

Just the place to sit and relax with a coffee or a delicious meal after spending several hours walking around Hemswell Antiques.

After queuing I reached the service point asking what sandwiches they had - there were no signs up behind the self service bar. ' the menus are on the table' was the reply. Presumably I was expected to find a menu and start queuing again. To save time I asked for a cheese Sandwick - ' we only do it with chutney' I finally persuaded this off hand rude woman to provide my simple snack. Whilst eating it she was rude and aloof to every customer she served generating a poor atmosphere in the cafe. The food was average and expensive. Avoid

Have often stopped by for Coffee and Cake but recently had the Carvery. Excellent food and very reasonably priced.

Crowded cramped seating Limited menu Paninis sandwiches jacket potatoes and cakes Good selection of hot and cold drinks When busy slow service We had chicken paninis Good portion of chicken sad salad Next visit to centre will bring packed lunch eat in car park and use cafe for afternoon tea and scones !!!

Staff are very unhelpful we had two scones which I think the council could use for the roads that hard could not eat them The roof of the restaurant is dirty never been cleaned since the day it went upFood all over the floor which could of been cleaned up as staff just sat at tables on phone my be on a breaksShould keep the floor cleanDon't think I will go back

Inside the Centre No 1 - nice decor - clean and tidy - various foods on offer including sunday lunch. Proper tea in a proper pot - good coffee, nice fresh scones,
