Honey Pot Cafe in North Lincolnshire

We did a sponsored walk with 13 children to raise money for autism/mental health. The children had walked 7 miles and was thirsty so we stopped for a drink but the children stayed on the foreshore so I walked . We had 13 bottles of juice to carry I ask for a bag he said no and walked off very rudely the young gent who served us was pleasant but seemed scared of the manager. We went to the lovely lady at the gift shop who gave us a bag for free and he literally saw us struggling. Very rude indeed good job we don’t bring our children up like that

Again some of the other reviews are absurd and entitled. 'I don't like leaving bad reviews'... well don't then! 'This is not how to run a cafe,' sorry, is Gordon Ramsay reviewing? Food great, fabulous choice, desserts amazing.. ALL CREDIT TO THE STAFF WHO MAKE THEM, lovely salads with dishes. Friendly staff. So nice to hear, 'you're welcome' rather than'that's alright. ' The staff are naturals at hard work and service. I'm proud to call this my local cafe.

This is a smallish cafe situated in the modern and large Water's Edge Visitor Centre which is within yards of the River Humber. After a long walk we were looking forward to a nice coffee and cake. We were unlucky to get get behind a punter ponderously ordering 8 drinks and some snacks. 15 minutes later we were still waiting and only half of the drinks had been slowly dispensed. It is not a good look when there are staff nearby who could surely have assisted in some way. The lack of cake and /or biscuits at 2 o'clock on a Saturday afternoon was truly astonishing and appalling - the worst I have ever seen or more accurately not seen. Seriously just four items that all looked the same. We simply gave up and left - needless to say we will not be returning.

Latte is perfect and had alovely panini. Nice to drop in when been for a lovely walk along the riverside, hubby had a cheesecake which he said was really good

The food is really good and the staff are very pleasant will go back again it is good value for money

My family and I visited the cafe as part of our trip to Water's Edge. The menu looked nice as did the displayed food. Service was very slow, waiting for drinks to be made by the same person taking orders despite two others behind the counter was odd. When it was my turn I ordered a breakfast for my husband and tried to order a vegetarian breakfast. The young lady behind the counter initially told me they didn't do a vegetarian breakfast. I showed her the menu which was met by the three ladies shouting to each other about whether or not they do! The order was eventually taken but a few minutes later a disgruntled appearing cook came out telling me its not cooked separately from the meat. What use is offering a vegetarian option if its not vegetarian? On a positive note my husband enjoyed his breakfast and the kids demolished their food. We likely will go back as the park is lovely but may have to rethink our menu choices.

Wow... I visited this place after a walk with friends. I had read the previous reviews but decided to try it for myself. I am so glad I did! The cheesecake here is THE BEST cheesecake I have ever eaten. Its fresh & homemade. And generously portioned. I am so glad I decided to see for myself what this place is like. If you are in the area, please visit. You won't be disappointed!

I don't like leaving negative reviews but I think this is a typical example of how not to run a cafe! Due to COVID19 regulations, we had to queue taking into consideration social distancing, but despite being only the 3rd person waiting, it took about 30 minutes to get served. We only wanted to buy some drinks and ice creams from the freezer, but we were advised by the person in front to put them back into the freezer as she had been waiting for half an hour. I laughed as I thought she was joking but after 5 minutes of waiting, I followed the advice as they were beginning to melt! There was only one person taking the orders and preparing them, but for the sake of efficiency, when someone orders 3 cakes, get 3 plates and prepare them all together, not get a plate then cut a piece of cake, cover the cake back over, then get another plate, uncover the SAME CAKE and so on the the point where it was frustrating to and infuriating to watch. Eventually, after 25 minutes of watching over methodical wiping of knives and surfaces to the point of OCD in between endless treks to obtain individual plates, I was eventually served, reaching to retrieve our now refrozen ice lollies from the adjacent freezer... We took our seats at the table and was constantly irritated by a member of staff shouting at the top of her voice (over food held before her) which food orders were ready for customers to collect from the serving doorway. Many customers were eating outside and could not hear the repeated bellowing at ever increasing volume levels. The only way I could describe the experience is to compare it to a fishmongers wife at a market stall! For heavens sake, get some exercise and take the food to the table like any other civilised establishment!

Took a group of clients to visit the Honey pot, in the middle of serving our group, one of the staff said “no more, we’re closed, we have to get home sometime” to the rest of the group, in a very brusque tone. No warning etc was given, and it was said in a very rude tone. Such a shame, because it looks like it has great facilities.

Clean, attentive staff. Good quality food quick service. We had a selection of Toastie with chips, Soup and Sandwich, plus a traditional Fish n Chips.

Our January visit left us unimpressed with the training and enthusiasm of the staff. It was obvious that these were employees with no suitable training and no interest in the appearance or cleanliness of the place. My first impression was made when the server at the counter reached up to get a mug down from on top of the coffee machine and held it with one finger fully inserted inside the mug. We sat in the window on the soft chairs but were faced with a caddy on the table holding sugar and the like, with old food scraps stuck to it. The standard of cleaning left a lot to be desired, The pillars to the building were in desparate need of a good clean. The partial ceiling in way of the door to the decked area had paper hanging down. We arrived and there was one worker sat at a table, but there were dirty tables with dirty plates and cutlery all around. After being there 20 minutes this rather old employee staggered to his feet and went to clean one table (of 4 that were needing clearing). At no time did he use a sanitiser spray or cloth to wipe the table down.

I asked for a top up of hot water simply because the tea pot is quite small. The charge was 50p this is a complete rip off and very expensive for a pot of tea. I just want bother in the future.

Called in gad to wait 50 mins for a baggetee and toastie both with chips. We had had and drunk our drinks some 45 mins before. All 4 tables were waiting same amount of time. Since when does a baggete a toastie and 2 hot drinks cost £16+. Imo not value for money

More than two quid for a cup of tea -dearer even than places like the NEC. And when you do stump up, you get one of those Godawful tiny steel pots that doesn't dispense even a full cup, let alone enough for a refill. Went to the counter and asked them to top up the pot with hot water, and they charged another 50p!

Love this little cafe, visit many times. Menu is very varied with senior choices.. prices are great.

Firstly I have to say that after visiting today and then reading some of the reviews I was surprised by how bad some were. Me and my hubby stopped in for some lunch. The cafe was very clean and the staff polite. We both had some homemade soup and a warm baguette. My hubby had the potato and leek and I had the minestrone soup. The soup was absolutely delicious. I cannot reccomend it highly enough. It's the best homemade minestrone that I've ever had. The tea and decaff latte we had were both totally fine. The teapot is more than adequate to provide a cup of tea, which is what you pay for. As for eating your own food.... there are signs on all the tables stating that this isn't allowed but you'll always get people who think the rules don't apply to them . Don't be put off by the negative reviews. This is a perfectly good cafe that serves some lovely food. I will certainly be back when I'm next in the area.

Awful, nasty, aggressive staff to me and my family after purchasing drinks from the cafe sitting outside we had to come inside after a huge downpour, we were told we couldn't sit at a table and let the children finish their packet of crisps as they weren't bought from the cafe and was actually shouted at by both the man and women infront of my 6 year old and 3 year old. Absolutely disgusting, poor children were so cold and shaken up. I really do hope karma gets them back

Popped in for a cup of tea. Wasn’t going to risk eating as we’d read the reviews. However, we sat out on the decking and watched others having food and decided it looked good. There were a couple of men working who were clearly under pressure but served us efficiently, with a smile and the food was delicious!

I recently visited Water’s Edge Visitor Centre with my husband and sister. My husband dropped me off right outside as I have rheumatoid arthritis and a bad back and cannot stand or walk for long. We went to the cafe for a drink and were disappointed to find at 3.20pm it was already closed although there were still some people there. We went outside onto the decked area and as soon as we were outside a member of staff went to the door. I thought that she was just checking that I had closed it properly as it is a heavy sliding door. A little later on my sister said that we had better go in as it was now empty inside and they had switched the lights off. My husband tried the door and found that it had been locked. He knocked on the door and got the attention of a member of staff. She raised her hand in acknowledgment and disappeared, we thought for the key. However, despite more knocking no one appeared. We were therefore forced to walk all the way around the building which I found very difficult. Luckily there was a wall so that I could sit down on a few occasions or I don’t know what I would have done. We are furious that the member of staff did not tell us she was locking the door - if she had I would have gone straight back in. We are equally as angry that at least one member of staff knew we were outside knocking to be allowed in but ignored us. This is disgraceful and unacceptable customer service. My sister went in to complain but there was obviously no one left in the cafe. Water’s Edge were very helpful and although they said that the cafe was separate to them they asked her to fill in a complaint form and followed it up with an email. Not surprisingly, she has heard nothing from the cafe.

My wife and I together with her sister and husband decided to call in here for lunch en- route to see another of her sisters who lives nearby. The cafe is part of a visitor centre situated on the banks of the river with fantastic views of the Humber Bridge on one side and a landscaped large duck pond on the other. My wife and I only wanted a light lunch so we decided on a toastie and ham baguette. Her sister noticed a large specials board offering large cod and chips as the special of the day which she and her husband decided on. We ordered the food at the bar together three teas and a coffee. the hot drinks were served to us straight away. The coffee was served in a large mug and was ok but the teas were served in very small teapots which looked as the had been taken from a dolls tea service. We took the drinks back to the table and on pouring the tea out found it to be very strong and hardly filling the cup. On lifting the lids of the teapots we found that two teabags had been mistakenly put in the pots by the young waitress which not only made the tea far too strong but the teabags displaced most of the water. We asked for another pot of hot water to weaken the tea and to our utter amazement and disbelief we were charged another 50 pence. My wife only drinks very weak black tea and in all the cafes we have been in we have never ever been charged for extra hot water. We really thought this was rubbing salt into the wounds. Although the cafe was not very busy we were waiting over 30 minutes for the food to be served by which time we had drank our tea and extra hot water but decided on principle not to order any more. My wife's toastie and my baguette were ok but the cod was a complete let down. It was obvious that the cod had come from Iceland - Iceland Frozen Foods that is and had been frozen many days before after coming off the production line at Birdseye. Although the cod was palatable, the batter was rock hard and the fish inside the batter was very dry. To say this cod was the special of the day is very misleading as it leads you to expect a freshly battered deep fried piece of fish and not a bake in the oven pre-battered piece of fish..My sister-in-law did not want to make a fuss and complain but needless to say both her and husband were very disappointed in the meal. On principle, we shall not be making a return visit to this cafe until the scandalous charge for extra hot water is dropped and also a bit more honest in describing their daily special meals.

We ordered two coffees and a hot sandwich, after half an hour these hadn't come and when we asked the order had been "lost", waitress seemed totally disinterested with her job and didn't offer an apology. The food was OK when it finally came but I dont think we were the only ones that had orders messed up.

Good views over the nature reserve. However the tea pots are tiny - you struggle to get one and a half small cups out of one and they charge 50p extra for hot water!

Called here after walking along the banks of the Humber and had a cup of tea.We didn’t eat here but looking at the menu there seemed to be plenty of choices and reasonably priced too.The staff were very friendly and welcoming.Next visit here we will make sure we haven’t eaten prior to our visit as looking at the meals they looked and smelt delicious.The Honey Pot cafe is situated inside Waters Edge visitor centre of which I have reviewed separately.

Came here at lunch time on Tuesday, ordered coffee and full english breakfast. Everything was cooked ok.

We had decided to go to the craft fair at waters edge on the Sunday afternoon.we had finished walking around and our girls had asked if we could go for a drink in the cafe .we found a table and it was soaking wet after being wiped by a member of staff my friend went to get napkins to wipe the table dry .The people at the till serving were hurried as understandably it was busy and they were rushing to get people served .

We called in for a snack lunch after a morning out ‘over the bridge’ from Hessle where we live. The cafe is situated inside the Water’s Edge visitors centre where there is an amazing tourist information centre which we also wanted to visit.

Its been a very long time since I've been to drink and eat and certainly wasn't disappointed at all. The food was delicious, tasty and well presented. it was such great value for money and served by friendly staff. We certainly be going again and very well worth the visit.

Called in for lunch and ordered what we used to make a bee-line for a few years ago - the meat and potato pie. We used to giggle like kids when it came because it was a big, 'proper' pie and a real treat. Not so now tho, what arrived instead of the lovely big plateful of yor, was a plate with overcooked, wrinkled peas, that had obviously been sat for a while, chips, gravy and a small piece of pie that was a shadow of its former self. On sliding away the top layer of pastry I found 4 pieces of swede, a piece of carrot and a single piece of meat. Yes, I should've said something, but it was an impromptu visit to celebrate some good news and I didn't want to spoil my day. Lesson learnt - I'll stick to coffee and cake IF I visit in future.

A lovely setting only spoilt by the food. Not as good as it used to be. The till staff were polite and friendly though.

Situated inside the Waters-Edge visitor centre (separate review), this is a child and pensioner friendly cafe! Our 3 year old enjoyed choosing from the children’s menu and we had 2 pensioner’s specials. My husband had ham and egg, I had scampi and our little one had spaghetti Bolognese. Our pensioner’s specials had a choice of pudding included but not the children’s meal. I should have thought that just a scoop of ice-cream would have been something.

Great place to take the kids plenty of things to keep them interested, nice to visit on sunny days and sit outside, nice friendly cafe

Lovely little cafe, lots to do and see. Great views of the Humber bridge and the Humber first visit will go again lo loved feeding the ducks

We are occasional visitors to Barton and this was our first time to this place. The setting is delightful amongst the wildlife. We chose some sandwiches which were a very generous size and came with a lovely colourful salad. Tea and coffee were also good. Good value for money. The attached visitor centre and shop are also well worth a visit.

The Honey is a pleasant cafe in a wonderful setting. The food is varied but portion size of salad needs to be bigger. I had a nice meal and sat outside looking on to lovely pond area with lots of wildlife.

Good friendly cafe, reasonably priced, handy if your visiting the waterside center. Unfortunately when we visited had run out of s lot of things due to it being an open day and extremely busy.

Although there is a new de outdoor area, the internal part of the cafe is pretty bland and uninspiring. It is certainly a decent enough place to have a snack and cuppa, but there are much nicer tearooms up in town.

Bien después de llegar aquí a las 3:15. Estábamos siendo limpiado alrededor y cosas encerrado y un aviso en la barra tenía un cartel cerrado en 3:23. Esta es la primera vez que hemos ido y planeado alimentar los niños como en línea dice abre hasta las 5. Muy decepcionado. Sentir que nos empujaba fuera de Lima.

En el pasado he sido muy feliz con este café, cuando era uno de los pocos lugares que para dietas sin gluten. En mi reciente visita fue decepcionante - les expliqué que yo no podía comer sin gluten, y pedí un sándwich en pan novia. Llegó con ensalada y cuscús. Les pregunté a sustituir la comida sin el cuscús, que lo hicieron muy rápidamente. Me di cuenta después de que había comido más de lo que el plato era untado con los restos del cuscús, que evidentemente ha sido vaciado de la placa. Uno de los rastros de cuscús sándwiches tenía en él. Muchas personas son muy sensibles a la contaminación; por suerte me cruce no comer cualquier cuscús, o al menos no lo suficiente para hacer que me enfermo. Me lo tomé más tarde con el gerente, que dijo que tenía completamente reemplazado la comida. No acepto este- sólo desearía que podría haber tenido la buena gracia para ofrecer un mejor servicio en el futuro. No se confía en ellos de nuevo.

This cafe boasts a nice decking area over looking the pond, however the food is only just average and certainly doesn't warrant the prices they charge. It's absolutely extortionate!

Queríamos almorzar fuera y pensó en aquí. Me encanta. El personal es muy amable y acogedor y atún liberar es genial. La ensalada que no es simplemente deja como muchos establecimientos llamada una ensalada pero muchas verduras de color. Por favor, no cambiar nada.

I love this place. Fabulous cakes and caramel shortbread is yummy. All home made. Salad is delicious too. Ive never had anything horrible here so fully recommend.

We popped to take a look at the venue, as we plan to do some walking locally and enjoy the wild life, lovely place to visit, good parking, and good views of the Humber Bridge, River Humber. Yes, we will use this as a base to retreat to for a coffee etc when were here again.

On a recent trip to Barton Upon Humber we walked along the humber bank to the Waters'edge visitors centre, in which we stumbled upon the Honeypot Cafe. As 11 am was too early for lunch we had toasted tea cakes and cappucchino's, and thouroughly enjoyed them the tea cakes were well buttered and the frothy coffe was a delight, We enjoyed it so much we strolled along the bank then returned for lunch, The steak pie was crispy and packed with beef, and the lasagne was garlicy and yummy. we both enjoyed it very much and would highly recommend you give it a try.

We ordered a Sausage Ciabatta and a Tuna Melt with chips along with two black coffees at £14.65. The sausage was marketed as 'Lincolnshire' and the Cafe suggests all it's food is cooked fresh using local ingredients - no it is not! The sausage is mass produced precooked which is microwaved to heat up...probably made in a factory in Glasgow. The Ciabatta was doughy in the centre and inedible.The Tuna melt only melted because it was heated up in the microwave - it was spewing out the edge of the bread!We now have indigestion which is acting as a poor memory.If you are planning eating there tomorrow night whilst Hull have their fireworks we suggest you eat at home first!

Stopped by here after walking along the banks of the Humber, good cafe and reasonable prices. Play area for children, also does food.

When warm you can sit outside and watch the wildlife. Very good menu with generous portions. For us older persons the "pensioners choice" options are very good value. Can get noisy inside with adjacent children's play area, dependant on parental control.

Fab little cafe good inexpensive menu and very fast service eveytime we have visited even when full.Cheesy chips are amazing!! Hidden little gem

Lovely outdoor seating area next to the water, childrens play and table seating area inside. Nice snacks, soup main meals and hot drinks. Water for dogs

Every time I come here the staff couldn't be more polite and friendly. The food is really good with some vegetarian options. The accompanying salad with my lasagne was very fresh and delicious. Yes, this is a cafe and maybe not a restaurant, the tablecloths are plastic wipe clean, but they WERE clean and I can't understand people complaining. Pensioners meal- two course, with cups of tea for £7.00 or £7.50. Good value I'd say. I will definitely return again!

Delicious every time we come and nothing to complain about, very polite gentleman always serves us on a Sunday morning. Lovely salad with panini which makes a change to the packet of leaves in Wetherspoons. Quick to serve and lovely coffee. Can't understand grumpy reviews but there you go can't please a lot of people. I always think I'm having a lovely meal out and I aren't cooking it , will be back soon,.

Very dry cakes and crumbly scones. The worst I have tried in my life. Very nice scenery which more than made up for it

Following our long walk we were going to look for somewhere to eat in Barton but time was getting on so when we came across the centre we decided to have something to eat. I did have to wait to be served as the staff were having their lunch. However once the food came it was fine. We had a chilli and a lasange and plenty of it, I felt it was reasonable for the price and did the job. The eating area is quite basic but there is a lovely outdoor area looking over the pond. The tables were clean and the chef was very friendly. The cafe closes at 3.3.30pm. This cafe is fine for what it is and serves it's customers well at a reasonable cost.

Its a great little café and the food is warming and good quality each time you go. I had a toasted tea cake and coffee this time and enjoyed it. The view outside from the bench table over the duck ponds was lovely.

Came here after a long bike ride over the Humber bridge and were unfortunately disappointed. Wanted a cool drink and ice cream as it was a hot day, nothing special as they were just regular supermarket items and came to about £4 which is ridiculous for something I could buy at the corner shop for half the price. Coffee, tea and cakes were available, although the latter was horrendously expensive at nearly £4 a slice and wrapped up in cling film it didn't seem particularly appealing. The only redeeming factor was the lovely outdoor area which overlooked a pond. However, we were lucky the weather was so nice as the inside cafe was very poorly decorated.

A little overpriced but clean and lovely setting on the riverbank. The council need to tidy the bins and graffiti of the nearby playground but not bad overall. Cake my friend had was good quality.

Called for lunch and was surprisingly nice. Panini's were lovely and the side salad was really fresh. Would go again.

Place is much like a transport cafe with plastic table cloths.....Food average quality, nothing to write home about other than expensive!

We stopped for cake and coffee on a sunday morning. Lots of seating and choice. We had the dog with us and water was provided. Unfortunately there was no shade so we had to drink up quickly and go.

We visited here for a light lunch. There is a good selection of foods & drinks available although the slushy machine didn't appear to be working. There is plenty of indoor & outdoor seating. The food was nice. The only downside was that the service was very slow despite nobody else waiting whilst we were ordering so don't come here if you are in any kind of rush. There is a large kids play area which can easily be seen from the cafe.

Whilst visiting the waters edge it was a nice stop for a coffee and cake,they do serve full meals and snacks. I think they was slightly over priced.

Scottish couple that work there are wonderful, I always have the lasagne. The salad is great and the place is lovely and clean

My husband and I popped here for lunch after a run over the bridge. I was craving a salad and was disappointed to only see a warm chicken and bacon salad on the menu. Well, I thought - nothing to lose, I'll ask if they do any other types. I ended up with an amazing salad that completely hit the spot. Cheese, ham, tuna mayo, couscous, coleslaw, lettuce, beetroot, peppers, cucumber, celery and tomatoes. The service was friendly, the setting gorgeous and the price reasonable. My husband had a breakfast baguette which he really enjoyed too and we had a good cuppa. We will be back.

Had a walk over the Humber Bridge to the Honey Pot for cake and supreme hot chocolate, the service was slightly slow, but that was only down to the making of the supreme hot chocolate. The staff did apologies for this and were friendly. Lovely views from the cafe.

We decided to go take some photos of the Humber Estuary and decided to go to the Humber Bridge viewing area. After taking a few photos of the Bridge it wax lunch time and came across the Honey Pot Cafe. We had our Cocker Spaniel with us as always and the weather was very nice for the time of year, there is an outside dining area. Dogs are welcome and there are plenty of water bowls for the dog to drink from along with the other water fowl. There was plenty to choose from on the menu and at a reasonable price. The even do a pensioners special where you get a dinner and pudding fro around £6 very reasonable I thought, but we are not of that age yet so didn't apply to us. We knew we were having a cooked tea so decided to have Baguettes my wife had a Prawn and Mayo and I had Brie and Bacon £5.60, I was told they would bring it out to us when it was ready, so I got a tray and took our drinks which I may add were excellent my wife had a Hot Chocolate and I had a Latte both large and cost £2.50 each well worth the cost. We were sat waiting for our lunch for only a few minutes when we saw 2 huge plates appear out of the sliding doors, I thought it must be for the people sat behind us but no they were ours. I took one look at the amount of food on the plate and said to my wife I don't I will be having a cooked tea. On the plate was a huge Baguette with Bacon, Brie and Mushrooms along with a large side salad. I had to go back into the Cafe to get some knives and forks, I can honestly say I was stuffed after eating my lunch and needed another walk to work it off. The lunch was excellent really tasty and definitely worth every penny.

This cafe enjoys a prime position over the Humber which might be one reason why it is so expensive... but it is the only reason. Its a basic bog standard cafe, no frills no luxury just hard wooden chairs, plastic covers on the tables, with minimum staff. The food is tasty, and the portions large, but the prices keep creeping up. Just a stones throw away is the town of Barton with so many reasonable priced cafes it is hard to justify spending so much. Take a walk into the town, save yourself a fair amount of money.

We had spent a lovely afternoon on Mother's Day doing a 3 mile walk along Humber Estuary & Waters Edge Nature Reserve. We first went to The Ropewalk but it was too busy so we decided try The Honey Pot Cafe & weren't disappointed. The cakes are all homemade, I chose the carrot cake it was delicious with only a little frosting which was just how I like it, they even had peppermint tea!! Will return.

First trip to the honey pot, but a good one! Had a tasty Mother's Day lunch after cycling across the Humber Bridge! Great home cooked food, reasonable price and friendly staff.

Captive audience and all that and it is expensive for what you get although the food is OK albeit a limited menu.

Have been eating at the Honey Pot Cafe regularly over the last month my review is based on that time span. Every meal I have eaten there has been very good quality be it an omelette, a Brie and red grape baguette or just a leek and potato soup. At times they are very busy and service may be on the slow side but I would rather wait and have the food served fresh and hot.

Just been here for a coffee whilst out walking over from hull and must say I shall definitely be back. The cafe looks out to the waterside and seems very clean. I only had a coffee but the food being served looked delicious and heard some very positive remarks. All this with a really pleasant girl serving mean I shall return.

What can I say other than to apologise to the 7 visitors who had a less than perfect experience with us. I cannot comment on the specific occasions as my husband and I had our first holiday in 10 yrs . We had the last 2weeks in October. We strive very hard to offer good quality locally sourced food in a very competitive market. We take great pride in the service we offer and to see these less than ideal reviews is somewhat disheartening . All I can ask is that you do try to eat with us again and please if everything is not as you would expect then please please do come and speak to us where we will do everything to correct any mistakes etc. We are not a greasy spoon cafe but we are a cafe and not a restaurant, we offer hot and Cold meals, sandwiches, braggetts and Paninis. Please accept my humble apology to anyone who has had a less than perfect eating experience with us. To the six cyclists the chef we had on when you visited is new and still gaining experience, this is not an excuse in any sense but is a factor as to why you had a unacceptable wait for your meals. We use a local butcher for all our meat so I am at a loss as to why the quality was as poor as you described, but I will look into this and certify any issues. We are a small family run business working hard to give a warm and friendly eating experience and to have failed for these individuals does not sit well with me and I give my personal assurance that this will not happen again. Please please accept my unreserved apologies

Have eaten here before and the food was fabulous, great value for money and good service however I don't know what has happened as it is now awful, just got seated and saw the state of the food that was being served to the table next to us and we immediately left!! Such a shame as it's a lovely setting for a bite to eat but take your own food and eat in your car not the cafe!!

Terrible service, a group of 6 of us came in (cyclists) and all ordered a full breakfast. It took nearly half an hour between the first one coming out and the last one arriving.When they finally arrived the breakfasts were terrible. Cold sausages, stringy fatty bacon and burnt toast.If I owned this cafe I'd be embarrassed at the quality of food and terrible service they give.My cycling group will be heading to either the ropewalk or the tilery cafes to start our sunday rides from now on.

The food is not a good standard. I've eaten here a couple of times and have been disappointed on each occasion. The salad was not fresh. The food is over priced. It becomes too crowded at times with people squeezing past whilst you are eating. I had a man hold/carry boiling hot tea over my new baby. Try the rope walk museum cafe instead.

After a lovely walk in the nature reserve we hoped to grab some lunch but just ended up having a drink as the menu seemed more greasy spoon than country park cafe, it reminded me of something we would have gone to back in the 1990's.The staff were pleasant and the surrounds fine in the very eco friendly visitors center but maybe the menu could be updated to suit the times and £7.50 for a cooked breakfast that can be had locally for £5 seems a little expensive?

Good food - clean but often busy and full especially when children are visiting the visitor centre nice outside seating area looking over the pond with ducks and geese to feed

I've been a long-time customer of the Honey Pot, but just lately I've been left wanting. The service is efficient, but not what I would call friendly and the food is OK, but that's it, nothing to write home about. I've kept coming because of the views and at one time there were two friendly ladies running the place, during the week anyway. I've felt the last couple of times as if the staff have inwardly groaned at the appearance of customers.I'm not done with this place, but I'm going in search of pastures new for the time being for my odd cooked breakfast or lunchtime treat.

Lovely freshly made food at a resonable price , with friendly staff , what more could you ask for ! There are seats outside with a fabulous view of the lake and birds

really good food and especially for pensioners good value staff excellent Set in lovely surrounding. The home made cakes are lovely

Stopped off after a walk for lunch. We had soup and a chicken salad with coffee and a cake. The soup and salad were very good. The cake and coffee were poor. A bit pricey for what it is but its in a nice location. The service was fine and the food was delivered quickly.

We were not at all impressed by the service or the food today. Firstly I had to clean the high chair before I could put my grandson into it. Our order eventually arrived - not correct - omelette very greasy- you could taste the oil and the chips were inedible - rock hard - overlooked - greasy! The salad did not look or taste fresh. This happened once before but we were prepared to give a second chance - don't think we will be eating there again.

We came across this cafe unexpectedly when exploring Barton and the Humber. It was really lovely and my wife had a salad she asked for extra salad because she has a potato allergy and chips were included with th meal . The staff could not have been more helpful and the salad was extraordinarily good . I had a jacket potato with curry and it was lovely and properly baked not microwaved. A really great experience that we will repeat.

We went to the honeypot at 3.30 saw it was closed asked what time does it close we were told and then were told why do you have a problem with that, to which we replied we just couldn't believe a coffee shop shut so early only to be told "we have lives too you know" needless to say we will not be going back. We have been before and have not been impressed with the food or prices and this bad visit has confirmed to us we WILL NOT be going back

The Honey Pot Cafe is part of the waters edge visitors centre & Country Park, we visited the Country Park and popped in for a lite bite and were a little disappointed, the service was fine but found both the printed and special wall menu somewhat confusing? lite bites including any prices are nowhere to be seen and were only available on request at the self service counter, in all a little disorganised and not particularly cheap. It was also off putting to see a very small child clearing tables with overload trays a definite health & safety issue. It was also noted that the cafe was closing at 15.00 not sure if this is a regular practice? as the heading suggests a little disappointing!! however the location and scenery are superb so perhaps you can not have it all.

I still find it hard to believe that 2 slices of coffee cake and 2 coffee's came to a grand total of £10.90 is it just me is that over priced ?

Took the kids to waters edge to feed the ducks on a recent visit to the area and went to the honey pot cafe for lunch it was incredibly busy and had a real family friendly atmosphere. The owner's Mike and Beth couldn't have been nicer and the food was amazing. Totally recommend the brie bacon and mushroom baguette. It was delicious. Kids meals had large portions and was great value money and included a desert and a drink. Will definately return :)

Set in a local authroity visitor centre. Good range in menu and generally well cooked, big portions but all rather cafeteria/IKEA style and service is rather unfriendly and disinterested. Prices raised recently too so not as good value as it was.
