Knead Food in East Hertfordshire

The place is really lovely and the building is quirky so on first impressions, a great start. The food looked amazing and the home made cake selection was off the chart good. What made this experience less than amazing was the service was so cold and impersonal. I was ignored firstly by no less than 4 people, when someone eventually asked if they could help, I said I wanted to order and she pointed to the till down at the end hidden by 2 large guys ordering and told me to order there and off she went. I ordered and no smiles, not pleasantries. I then orders cakes to takeaway and again, nothing. I tried to engage in a smile and chat but nothing. My takeaway sandwich was ready on the pass and ignored until eventually, the girl on the till brought it to me. She passed it to me with no words, no thank you and no smiles. In my experience, when so many people are void of pleasant customer service it tells me this isn’t a fun and happy place to work. Owners - take a look at your working culture and instil some fun into it!

Wow !!! What a lovely place to eat. I had chicken burger with chips and salad and the chips were amazing, the best chips I have ever had, please never change them. An array of cakes and lovely in house made bread. My daughter had a home made sausage roll and said the pastry was lush. My partner had a BLT and he said the bacon was superb. I will be re visiting here very soon 👌🏼

A un precio razonable, con un menú bastante estándar: - día el desayuno, sándwiches y patatas de la chaqueta, por ejemplo. Las patatas chaqueta eran buenos pero el guarnición ensalada de hojas era pobre (en su mayoría) y arrojadas en el aliño balsámico: no es del gusto de todo el mundo. El servicio era amable pero lento y no particularmente proactivo.

Disfrutamos de su sándwich club sin embargo encontramos el lugar muy fría y demasiado caro para lo que te dan. El servicio era nada especial

Descubrí este lugar por accidente, aunque rápidamente se convirtió en el período para el almuerzo. La comida es generalmente muy bueno, con unas ensaladas y tartas caseras. El problema con este lugar es la disponibilidad en el menú. Hicieron un gran oferta de ensaladas con tres elementos para aproximadamente 8 libras, con comida como garbanzos al curry, setas de ajo, tomate y mozzarella ensaladas para elegir. El problema es que no tienen estas en cada momento, limitar la selección disponible. baguettes y foccacia bocadillos eran geniales, pero se llevan mucho tiempo para hacer que ellos incluso cuando no están tan lleno, y el servicio puede llegar a ser lento incluso llegar al punto donde estás esperando para cocinar. Más de 20 minutos para una sopa casera parecía esperar una excesiva y hasta 15 minutos para calentar un pre-foccacia preparados con pollo, ensalada y salsa barbacoa (muy lindo desde aquí). Fuimos a almorzar aquí de nuevo en 2015 Marzo y toda la amasar comida señales han desaparecido y todos los camareros del anterior que faltaban. El menú y los pasteles todos parecen ser todavía hay sin embargo, así que no estoy seguro de si tienen tomada o si el menú cambiará completamente.

We have been here several times before and usually it's fine and we enjoy the food. However today we walked in and no-one acknowledged us. We found a table and sat down right in front of the kitchen area but despite it not being particularly busy, and being in full view of at least three staff we were ignored and not even given any menus. We waited several minutes and some other people came in, who were immediately greeted and given menus, on the table next to us! That was the final straw so we left, seemingly unnoticed by the staff. Had a lovely meal in Baroosh instead!

We visited the cafe for lunch, food was lovely but the service was terrible. The staff were slow, took ages to clear our table and for the drinks to arrive. We piled up the plates for them but still they preferred to wipe a high chair, right next to us rather than clear our table.

Had seen this café while passing by and finally decided to try it. I wasn't disappointed. Service was prompt and friendly and the open plan lay-out added to a buzzing atmosphere. The menu is very tempting and it took a while to decide. Eventually, I ordered a wrap with roasted vegetables and brie - divine! Cakes and desserts looked very tasty. Will be returning.

This little café is a bit hidden away in Florence Walk so we only found it by accident. It's obviously a locals favourite as it was very busy. This is probably due to the friendly service and great food. Everything we saw just looked so good. Unfortunately we are not locals so wont be able to go back and try some more. But if you're in Bishops Stortford I would recommend finding this place it's well worth it.

This café is normally busy when I pass by. Now I know why. Most of the tables were taken, but found a table for two. Greeted by a friendly waitress, who soon took our order. Ordered Tea, coffee, Bakewell tart, and a sausage sandwich. Within 10 minutes the order was served. Wow! the sandwich was large. They do not scrimp on the filling. Plenty of sausage and tasty too. The tart was also very tasty. Tea was a bit weak, but coffee good and strong. Total cost about £10 that I think is good value. Well worth a visit. Service and food quality above average.

Found this today by accident when visiting Bishops Stortford for the first time. The service really was incredible for a cafe and much better than we'd received the night before in a 4 star hotel restaurant where we'd paid £50 each for a meal. We tried the Hallouimi salad with curried chick peas which was beautifully presented, generously sized and very tasty. There's a good choice of vegetarian and gluten free dishes and cakes. We bought 6 different ones to share with the office! What a gem!

Delighted I found this gem , without a doubt the best carrot cake I ever tasted and a nice brew too served by a lovely friendly Irish girl who really made me feel welcome. Will definitely be visiting again

Go here every one and again for a change. Lovely area to sit outside undercover. Nice place. Coffee is ok and I love the Carrot cake - huge portions always

Have been here a number of times and have never been disappointed. Food is always good, great coffee and fantastic homemade cakes. This time we had the vegetable soup which was delicious and was served with freshly baked thick sliced bread and butter, absolutely gorgeous. Minor point is tables are a little drab and sometimes difficult to place your feet and could probably do with a Kirsty Allsop makeover inside and then it would be 100%. But don't be put off by decor as the food more than makes up for it and we have always had very pleasant service too.

I always go here because I want a cake, but up to now I've never been able to manage one as the sandwiches are so big! Not only big but tasty with it. I can recommend the Cajun chicken club, but today I had a chilli wrap with sour cream and cheese, I wasn't disappointed as it tasted as good as it looked and I still couldn't manage a cake!!

I used to be a regular customer way back when it was Gluttons. I would eat here with my children and friends and the food and service was always really good and staff were very inviting. So when it changed management and became Knead Food, I went back to this central place but I have to admit, it just wasn't the same. The food was really good and we never had to wait long for our order but the staff seemed to be uninterested and not too friendly. So after many visits of the same, I decided just to buy the food and take out...however, they still couldn't manage a smile or appreciate the custom and so I found other places to meet friends in Bishops Stortford.Management / staff - it really does mean a lot to smile and greet your customers.

This is a great Day- time restaurant come coffee shop serving the most delicious salads, cakes and great coffee. If you are visiting Bishops Stortford this place is a must.

Excellent service, food and value for money.Best coffee in Bishops Stortford and catering for people with food allergiesAttentive and polite staff who always make you welcomeA must

The food here is delicious, especially the cakes! But it wouldn't hurt them to review their customer service. I go in regularly and never recieve a smile and there is often a mistake with my order.But... i still go back! Best sandwiches and cakes in bishop's stortford.

By far the best choice of gluten free cakes I have ever seen (and tasted!)......staff are always really helpful and they even have a separate gluten free menu - LOVE IT!!!! Recommend a visit here!

Popped in here for a cake and a coffee. Had an outstanding millionaires shortbread, which was not only delicious but enormous, and not too expensive. I struggled to finish it, but I perserved to ensure I sent my plate back empty! All of the cakes look really good, and the portions are very generous. Coffee also good, and the service quick and efficient.

Some of the best sandwiches I have ever had, the staff looked after my family, always working with a smile. Thanks very much. I will come back.

delightful little cafe/restaurant in bishops stortford. Yummy yummy cakes and a lovely selection of lunches and bread (to purchase). Will go there whenever in the town.

I had a selection of 3 salads today and it was excellent! I had to wait a little bit (I was a bit early for lunch), but it came with plenty of apologies and the food was certainly worth waiting for! My 2 year old son had this fresh made banana / walnut bread: 2 toasted slices with butter for only £1.50. Delicious! (yes, I tried some too...)The tables are well spread out, so no worries regarding pushchairs.I love this place!

Visiting Bishops Stortford on a Saturday and desperate for refreshments on a freezing cold afternoon we happened upon this superb establishment in the town centre.The window display of freshly baked cakes, home made filled rolls, breads and general bustle inside showed how popular this cafe was - and it proved great. We had the best warm apple pie, sticky toffee tart, again warmed up we have ever had plus good service and value. We will recommend it to any friends visiting the town.
