Northern Cobbler, Billesdon in Harborough

What a shame , a lovely venue with great coffee and so much potential near a beautiful village location. However, so poorly managed. Clearly very hardworking staff on shift but not valued and not trained as they deserve to be. Worse than this, poor treatment of staff going on when the vibe of the place purports to be about spreading 'kindness'. Much of the food is actually supplied from ASDA and is over priced. Taking the custom of local people for granted because they can get away with it? 😔😪

Visited for lunch hoping for some nice food. Paid £10 for a mediocre toasted cheese sandwich with a couple of girkin slices. Really bland and uninspiring food. My children had the same experience. We could have gone elsewhere and had a much nicer meal for the same cost. The cafe is soulless and noisy, and the staff, although polite, don't seem very interested in creating a welcoming environment. We won't be back.

The management has chosen to turn this place into a children’s play centre. Consequently those of us who do not come as a family with small children are neglected. Coffee is served without serviettes or spoons. Request for spoons was met by the excuse that they only had one. The promise of a second came to nothing. We were also left waiting for the ordered scone. There was no decaf tea. We were told that food was not available for 30 minutes….but others who arrived after us were served with lunch. We have been supporting this cafe since it opened, but our loyalty is now severely strained. It is likely to become popular with young families, but they have lost our custom, as they probably intended. Pity! We will go elsewhere if you like.

Not a particularly inviting place for coffee. We were served the smallest flat white known to man in something similar to an egg cup and it wasn't very hot

Came across Northern Cobbler by chance and what a find! The menu is fairly limited but the dishes we had were delicious! Can highly recommend the coffee too! Friendly staff, attractive interior as well as outdoor seating - we’ll definitely be back!
