Oh Marks what a disaster . We waited for the refurb but whoever designed this should be made to work there for a week . Staff running around like headless chickens . We ordered tea and toast with marmalade and poached egg on toast .Tea arrived 10 mins later a slice of warm bread with no butter or marmalade 5 mins later cold eggs on cold toast asked again for marmalade by now tea was drank and we left such a shame as it was always a lovely place with lovely chatty staff until the dreaded refurb .Marks you have really messed up this time won't be back

Staff very friendly but refurb is terrible. You can only order via touch screen machines - this would scare my in-laws and parents to the extent they would not feel able to use the cafe. It’s not McDonalds with teens using Apple Pay. It’s a cafe used by a wide range of ages INCLUDING older people. To introduce a system that excludes them is disgusting. M&S should be ashamed of themselves as should the swanky designers. Every one gets old eventually, I wonder how you’ll feel when it’s you left behind by society?!?

BIG THUMBS DOWN to M & S Tamworth. After refurb. the cafe is order on machine, card only, huge queues with staff trying to help people use machines. Staff tell me there's been lots of complaints. Won't be visiting again unless things change. (We used to go every couple of weeks, buying clothes, food and using the restaurant.)

Just opened after a complete redesign and expansion. No more going to the friendly staff at the tills to order and exchange a few words. No - it’s McDonalds type ordering screens and orders are brought to the table. You can order toast, no options for white or brown. Brown toast now not available and the white toast is just warm bread - they wouldn’t put it through the toaster again. A disappointing experience yet our weekly visit was always enjoyable. Sad!!

Decided to have the big breakfast here whilst doing some shopping. £9.50 for 2 hash browns, 2 sausages, bacon, beans, mushroom, one piece of toast and 2 poached eggs. We'd barely sat down at our table when the food arrived. Clearly presented on cold plates, the food was cold on arrival. Poached eggs whilst cold was the best bit as they were runny. You can tell the breakfast is mass produced and kept warm and dished out quickly on cold plates. 2 pots of tea but no saucer for the cup or teaspoons. Won't bother again and will go elsewhere for breakfast.

Stopped off for pots of tea, sandwiches and scones. Busy with customers queuing to be served. Sandwiched were fresh. Cheese scone tasty. Plain scone dry. Tables could do with a sanding down and re varnish as they are looking tatty. Disappointing not to have saucers with the tea cups. No excuse for the chipped crockery….

We decided to pop in for breakfast and ordered 2 x Big Breakfasts at £8.95 each and a single pot of tea at £2.60. On the menu, it stated 'prepared to order'. I wrongly assumed this meant cooked to order. The sausage and bacon was frazzled (the bacon was solid) and the rosti just tepid. The eggs (poached - no other options available) were good but the mushroom was slimey and tasted off. Not an enjoyable experience so we won't be returning.

Nipped in for some shopping, and decided to pop in for a light bite and a coffee. No trays to put anything on, so had to stack all we took off the shelves. Ordered the coffees, to which we were constantly asked what we had ordered. No clean tables. My partner took a toasted sandwich and hot crossed bun, which took over 15 minutes to be “warmed up”. The place was a mess. No clean tables, trays stacked with previous people’s items on. The amount of food on the floor was discussing. I then nipped back a little later for a bottle of drink, and found a massive que forming due to 2 of the staff messing around with a coffee machine and no one else serving.

In here now, the place is absolutely filthy, food on the tables, seats & floor, litter everywhere, wanted a full english with scrambled egg only to be told sorry no can't change the egg option from poached, although omelettes are on the menu ! Will never visit this dirty hole again, shocking!

We went here for a coffee while shopping. The service was good but the coffee was awful. We had two very weak Americano’s, they were like water! We won’t go there again!

M & S cafe, its typical quality with friendly staff who are attentive to your needs, the food is varied and good tasty bites are available, with good drinks choices both hot and cold on offer, its a good stop off whilst doing your shopping exploits.

Gets busy at peak times but good quality produce and drinks! It's M & S! Can be a queue for hot drinks at times but not too long. A second smaller coffee snack shop is now right by the food hall which is handy!

Good place for a snack - tea is very nice. Can get very busy and at times a wait on the hot food. Having said that it is busy because it is very good!

The food I ordered was satisfactory, although not the most generous of portions. However the cutlery I was given was not clean. The knife had a lump of greasy food on it. There needs to be greater attention paid to basic hygiene at this cafe.

Went there with my mother and only one person working, she was rushed off her feet, behind the counter covered in dirty dishes, tables all used and not cleared, she just didn’t have time to turn around. Also do not have the hot chocolate as a drink, it tastes like hot water with a bit of flavour, very disappointing especially as the cost is quite expensive. Shall not be visiting there In a hurry

Visit every weekend for lunch when shopping at Ventura Retail Park. Considering that it’s not a chain the coffee is good; the cappuccinos are usually nice & frothy. You used to get an oat biscuit with each cup but you have to ask for a biscuit now as they wanted to reduce wastage. I always have hot food, a toasted sandwich which arrives promptly & they have improved the system by giving you a tracker so they know where to bring it. They do a few regular cakes, coffee, carrot & Victoria Sandwich plus feature cakes which change periodically. They’ve had a lovely rainbow cake this year but they have options with less calories too e.g. packs of biscuits, bakewell tart slices & cookies. They also have fresh scones both cheese & plain with accompanying butter/jam/cream. We go quite early as it can get crowded in terms of queuing & finding a table. There is now a smaller new cafe near the food hall for any overflow with slightly less selection of food. The staff are very good on the whole & will help you find a table if they see you wandering around, they help people with pushchairs/wheelchairs etc. We have tested them a few times asking for extra cold milk & no tomato or cucumber in my side salad but nothing is too much trouble. A few weeks ago Mum took her coffee back because it was not the right colour or consistency & they remade it with no problems. It’s nice to be greeted by people who know we are regulars there as well, we will keep returning. Special thanks to Janet, Stacey, Ben & Amanda.

Busy cafe in this Tamworth store. Sometimes it does seem take a while to get drinks done but that's the nature of today with the coffees being fresh! Good selection hot snacks and selection cakes always available. A second smaller cafe has now opened up by the food hall.

I met my sister for lunch here for one of our birthdays.I had a toasted sandwich which was fine,while she ordered a jacket potato.twice it came undercooked and hard in the middle.In the end she changed it for a sandwich.But what was most annoying was the attitude of the staff.There was no apology and they behaved as if it was our fault for daring to complain and this included the restaurant manager.This also wasted valuable time out of our day when we only have the opportunity to meet quite rarely.Next time we certainly won't eat in M&S.

We ordered three coffees. One small cappuccino, one large americano and one americano with hazelnut syrup. It took three complete rounds to get it almost right! Even then, the hot milk requested came cold, but by then we were past caring. Whilst we drank the coffee, three members of staff loudly discussed their wages, and their dissatisfaction with the age levels within it.

I was looking for a product and i phoned and on the phone it asks customers to visit the store to see if the product is available , THAT MEANS ASDA DO NOT CARE ABOUT PEOPLE TRAVEL TO STORE TO SEE THE PRODUCT IS NOT AVAILABLE . SIMPLE AS THAT YOU DO NOT CARE . NOW , WHOEVER READ THIS REVIEW FROM ASDA I AM TELLING IF YOU GO TO AN INDEPENDENT SMALL OR MICRO BUSINESS THEN DO NOT COMPLAIN ABOUT A BAD SERVICE TO THEM BECAUSE YOU AS LARGE BUSINESS HAVE NO SIMPLE CUSTOMER SERVICE . LOOK DO NOT REPLY TO ME AND APOLOGISE . I AM NOT BRAIN WASHED AS TOO MANY OTHERS . Apology IS JUST A WORD THAT DOES NOT HAVE ANY AFFECT ON YOUR NON Existence SIMPLE SERVICE . JUST HAD A QUESTION . BECAUSE I HAVE SMALL BUSINESS AND SOMETIMES WHEN I AM BUSY CUSTOMERS COMPLAIN ABOUT THE TIME BUT THEY DO NOT REALISE THAT AS A SMALL BUSINESS WE HAVE SERVE CUSTOMERS WHO ORDERED BEFORE . SO BECAUSE ASDA IS A LARGE BUSINESS THEN YOU TREAT PEOPLE Whatever WAY YOU LIKE . OK AND I Repeat THIS TO YOU WHO READ THIS THAT WHEN YOU VISIT SMALL BUSINESS DO NOT GIVE THEM GUIDANCE OR MAKE A COMPLAINT BECAUSE YOU ARE EXACTLY THE SAME . IF CUSTOMER WANT TO MAKE A COMPLAINT THEN THE COMPLAINT GOES TO India . BUT SMALLER BUSINESS COMPLAINT SERVICE IS IN UK . HONESTLY YOU HAVE NO RESPECT TO ANYONE . SARCASTIC APOLOGIES AND THAT IS END WITH THAT BUT YOU NEVER LISTEN TO Peoples FEEDBACK TO IMPROVE . IT DOES NOT MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE TO YOU . I LIVE IN the REAL WORLD AND NOT A BRAIN WASHED MAN AND WHAT I SEE I Believe IT SO DO NOT Apologise AGAINST MY COMPLAINT . YOU ONLY APOLOGISE BECAUSE YOU WANT OTHERS TO Believe YOU CARE BUT YOU SIMPLY DONT . IT TOOK ME 35 MINUTES TO TRAVEL TO STORE TO ASK IF A PRODUCT WAS AVAILABLE AND IT WAS NOT . AFTER YOUR APLOGY TO MY COMMENT YOUR SERVICE WILL STILL REMAIN THE SAME AND THAT IS WHY I SAID DO NOT GIVE PEOPLE SARCASTIC APOLOGY . I LIVE IN THE REAL WORLD BUT YOU ARE NOT .

⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Had my son’s 2nd birthday party here and the staff could not be anymore accommodating. Really reasonably priced, great service and nothing was too much trouble. Would 100% recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
