Mulberry & Thyme Restaurant Weyhill in Test Valley

Can't praise Catherine and the team enough in the restaurant. Had an amazing breakfast served hot and quickly. Staff alway pleasant and table clean. Only small downside, please please go back to using teapots! I'm sure it's easier to wash up etc but a teabag in a mug is never as nice as a pot of tea!!

Usually meet for tea and cake each week. Tea this week was served as teabag in hot mug of water, when we asked why it wasn't in teapot as it had previously been, told it was to save on washing up. Not acceptable for price, need to decide if you are a restaurant or roadside cafe and price accordingly. Get 3 stars as lady taking orders was amazing and friendly as always.

Unfortunately, due to the weather the kitchen was shut, so it was coffee only. However, I’m concerned how the staff would cope normally, as they were completely incapable of making a few coffees and putting a cake on a plate. We waited 20 minutes for 2 cappuccinos, with no sign of it being made. When I asked what was up, I was made to feel guilty for even questioning the staff. 5 minutes later, still nothing and staff stood around chatting. Incapable, young staff and over inflated prices. Wouldn’t revisit.

This place has gone downhill massively. I'm not sure I would feed my dog what they're now serving. It has gone from lovely local produce, roast dinners, and good food....to some of the worst generic cafe food I've eaten, still at the same premium prices.

Quality of food has drastically decreased since I last came here. If you want a meal, don't come here. Overpriced and quite disgusting. Coffee and cake is probably fine. Though my coffee came out after I had finished eating. I likely won't be back.

Don’t bother coming here at lunchtime if you’re not booked for afternoon tea. Half of Andover is either unemployed or elderly, and you can expect to find the restaurant filled to the brim, with a long queue that the staff don’t bother tending too as they’re too busy flirting around serving the afternoon teas. FUMING! At this point the business might as well only have lunch open for afternoon tea. Thanks for wasting my lunch break queuing!

The food is very good quality but sadly, that’s where the good news ends. We ordered breakfast & ‘extra hot’ coffees via the app. After a 25min wait, our luke-warm coffees arrived. My wife’s bacon sandwich came on a grease-filled plate and with cold bacon. They did, at least change it for a clean plate and warm bacon. My ‘full English’ was at best ‘warm’. This is a complete contrast to our stop here yesterday for lunch. The fish finger sandwich was hot and a very tasty Coronation chicken baguette and HOT tea. Such a shame that what is clearly good quality, locally-sourced food is not served hot.

Cheap and easy. Very chilled out nothing extravagant but pleasing nonetheless.

An amazing place, Fantastic range of goodies from finest fresh food to gifts and trinkets. Restaurant food was Top notch, Staff were great and the atmosphere was calm and relaxing. Would recommend to anybody.

Writing this review after queueing for 25 mins and still sitting at my table 25 mins later. All I want is a cuppa and cake, but the place is so busy and customers are just waiting ages. Ooh.. just had coffee delivered at the 50 min mark, but no cake. Waiting....waiting...another 7 mins and the cake arrives at last after I've already finished my Cuppa. Never had to wait this long in any Cafe in my life. Staff are pleasant and food is decent, but the wait is unforgivable. After this experience I doubt I will ever return.

Cappuccino and pastry/cheese scone was good when it arrived, but waited half an hour for two beverages and the pastries.

Atmosphere pleasant and staff are helpful but the food quality and choice is so much worse than Rosebourne used to offer and yet the prices are sky high and are just not worth it. Won't be back anytime soon. If you have a food allergy they leave you with a giant folder akin to a logic puzzle rather than labeling any info directly on the menu.

Overpriced for quality of food and slow service.

Stopped here for lunch and even though it was busy, we found a table quickly. Food was delicious, we had the shepherd's pie, chicken burger and roast beef. We had to wait quiet a while for the food to arrive but staff we really friendly and polite.

Very good afternoon tea deal at half price. We’ve been twice now and very delicious they were. I had the savoury and the wife had the sweet one. Couple of weeks ago we had the equally delicious cream tea (savoury and sweet) at half price. With deals like these the restaurant seemed quite busy. Very good service as usual. Going again next week.

Jo......you are a star🌟and a credit to the cafe. Always welcoming with a smile and nothing is too much trouble! Everything seems so much better with that personal touch. A true role model. We thoroughly enjoy our afternoon teas and visit regularly both before and after the change of ownership.

Lovely food but the room was to hot

First visit for us since taken over by Hilliers and had high hopes having viewed the menu online prior. Sadly, there was no flexibility on ordering whether via the app or at the tills for food. One of our party wanted to order scramble rather than fried eggs, this was politely declined by staff, then we asked for sourdough toast (as this is on menu for other breakfast items), again politely declined, one of the party wished to have an extra egg added and was happy to pay for, but how on earth do you justify £1.50 for one egg!? . The food itself once it arrived was of a good quality and enjoyed by all. Just a shame that there is such rigidity on the menu choices as I don’t think our requests for alternatives were outrageous and led to a disappointing first try of the restaurant.

Our first visit here after the inevitable demise of the previous incumbents. Service excellent, pricing ok. It being time for second breakfast when we arrived, I opted for the roll filled with 3 breakfast items. 3 sausages was too much for the rather flimsy and fluffy roll which instantly fell apart. I should have dismantled it first. My companions had scones which they said were delicious. People around us seemed to be enjoying their food and the restaurant was busy. We will come again as the savoury afternoon tea has taken my fancy. This has always been a popular restaurant for meeting friends and long may it do so.
