Not one of my best experiences at this cafe. Short of staff . Tables needed to be cleared. One girl doing orders & making the drinks . She did apologise for wait. Floors needed cleaning ,food left by children not brushed up

Went for coffee with my wife. The coffee was appalling. Very thin, no body no taste. Returned it for another to be made which was just as bad. If you are a coffee lover, then this place should be avoided. Got a full refund. Jeff

Ordered large breakfast but informed no bacon so extra sausages added. Served on cold plate tepid sausages cold poached eggs the size of human eyeball. Cold hash brown come potato mash thing. Large flat mushroom floating in oil. Pipping hot baked beans in dish obviously microwave. One slice of toast from smallest loaf . Mentioned my observation to server clearing table who returned to say she had passed the message on to powers in charge. Problem is person in charge allowed my breakfast out ot the kitchen. As to not having bacon available when the store is full of it makes no sense. Unless cafe is not M&S but a franchise facility. Totally dissatisfied and disappointed as I'm a regular in the food Hall frequently recommend produce yo family and friends

Simple place, next to the food section, if you go early it's calm and quiet, not too much queuing. Large selection of made cake and coffees.

Cups are a lot smaller, too small, but at least they can supply a slice of lemon occasionally. Not sure why the have removed all saucers. Choices are limited and almost nothing for celiacs. Often many menu options are not available.

M & S food is very good quality but served from the cafe it’s very poor. I had a full breakfast it wasn’t very hot and seemed to have been cooked a couple of hours before being ordered. Please M & S can we have it as it was a couple of years ago

Dissappointing cooked breakfast, all items were cold, except sausage, and the bacon is of a poor standard. cold poached eggs are not very appealing Would expect more for £8.95, best to stick to cake in future.

Very good quality of food and drinks. However, it's not cheap. I would highly recommend the cream tea.

Yet again a very disappointing meal, when will the managers at this store ever learn. It’s about time a number of your senior management team reviewed the cafe, maybe undercover to really appreciate my points. The tables are in drastic need of renovation and glossing, they are always sticky and dirty (I always have my own wipes handy thankfully, but shouldn’t have to clean them myself). The tables and floor are always covered in food and dirt, please look at cleaning more frequently. The breakfast was cold and we ended up getting a refund. The staff on the other hand are lovely and always happy to help, it’s the finer details from above that need to be looked at. More than happy to meet senior teams to discuss my points.

It's been a while since M&S got rid of their bar cafe at their store in Culverhouse Cross and that's a shame since the cafe now is a sad offering. It's a nice space, but the menu is uninspiring, and ordering food, equally so. The staff were courteous but their systems were hopeless. The food was something to forget. And like a prior reviewer, they ran out of avocado (uh, there's more in the store, surely)

Very busy today, food is fine but not outstanding and staff friendly. But we've been here half an hour, and no one has done anything about the state of the floors. The photos are just examples, there are bits of food on the floor everywhere.

I ordered a breakfast and coffee but don't eat carbs I had a plate with two small sausages, two poached eggs and a mushroom. The bacon was smoked which I didn't eat. This cost me nearly 12 pounds. Feel totally ripped off. Also there was only one member of staff taking orders and 7 staff stood around chatting. Very disappointing.

They ran out of avocado early lunchtime, so I opted for poached egg on sourdough toast. It came with a pot of baked beans, 2 eggs and a small single piece of bread toasted with no butter. It would have been impossible to balance all the beans and egg on the toast at the best of times, but it came in a bowl! The other food ordered was good and cafe has a reasonable ambience.

Pleasant efficient staff. Extremely expensive non alcoholic drinks with two bottles of Stella 0.0 amounting to £9.30 for just over a pint. Not inclusive or good for the hospitality sector. This is nearly a 7 times mark up on the £1.50 retail price. Marstons claim this to be competitive, but Cedar Tree Farm has Heineken 0.0 on draught for £4.65

This used to be our go to Chinese... Atleast weekly... for over a year! NEVER EVER AGAIN ordered our usual including a chicken curry. What arrived can only be explained as a broth of curry coloured water, a few mushrooms, few carrots and a cube of chicken. Phoned to say wasn't happy (have never had to complain before) and was told they were happy with what they had sent out. We sent a video of the pot that was sent and even the lady on the phone (Rachael) said "oh christ that's awful" and said she would speak to the manager/chef. She spoke to them and their response was "tough, not sending anymore out and you must have eaten the chicken"!!! Absolutely disgusting customer service, even the lady on the phone was embarrassed at how awful they were, said they have had lots of complaints recently. Only good thing going for them was Rachael who was the poor middleman dealing with this. Never ever thought I'd post this but AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE!!!! Video posted to FB page of the disgusting slop they sent out.

As a regular customer, never had a problem, and knew with the young lad, serving, there wouldn't be a problem. Sadly on Friday 29.11.24, was completely different with service. Older lady served. We waited approx 45 min for plain chowmein, salt and pepper chips, and curry. We accept it was busy, and pressure for staff to prep and cook food safely. But to see customers arrive after us paying/placing large orders, after us, and leaving with their food before us, was unfair. The end result at almost 7.50pm we finally got our takeaway, after a woman came in with son, asking for chips, poppadom, curry and saveloy, and served immediately with their food. After they left, we were only ones there. Still waiting. I felt light headed and physically sick, due to being so hungry and thirsty. If lady serving again. I will not be getting a takeaway again from golden star.

Can be nice.. can be disappointing. Have decided to stop eating here because it's too hit and miss. Owner seems to rant in the Google comments that it's all "fresh" and "piping hot", but it seems I'm not the only one. So I guess it won't improve if the owner is so in denial and stubborn about that. Quality also seems to be guaranteed to be poor on a Sunday, when the chips on a few Sundays have seemed like they're either over done, or they're just old ones. Price is expensive despite (again) the owner's protests in the comments. Plenty of chip shops in the area selling bags of chips for much less than the £3.50 mark. Never had a problem with the customer service, although weird to hear the owner in the comments saying how everyone was rude, yet they seem to be the only one coming across as being rude and sarcastic to people. Makes this place even less appealing to hear an owner like that. Doesn't make me want to support their establishment. Edit: It's been a few months and thought I'd come back and comment, since it's a Saturday night and the chips are pants. All over done or old, not sure which. Took another star off. Also, nice of the owner to prove me right about their attitude with their reply below (oh they've deleted it now🤦🏻😂🐔) I wasn't even complaining about the quality of the potato... It's the inconsistency with the standard of preparation that's the problem. Shame they don't just take feedback on board. Guess I will have to 'go somewhere else'. Funny thing is, they think they've won by telling me to go elsewhere. Oh and thanks for letting me know about foodhub, I'll be sure to head over there now and give you 1 star, since you "only take those ones seriously"😘
