Queens park cafe loughborough in Charnwood

Found this cafe quite by chance and it's lovely. Clean and bright and very good food. Jacket spud cooked to perfection. Scampi and fries had loads on the plate. Service with loads of smiles and laughs. Will definitely come back again when shopping in Loughborough.

We had been here many times before but had recently felt the quality wasn’t so good. However, nice sunny day, so decided to go there for lunch. Queued for ages, only to find that there was no hot food. Basically the only vegetarian option was a cheese scone ( and there wasn’t much for non vegetarians). They would only take cash- the website says they will accept cards. That did not inconvenience us but the cheese scone was so stale and unpalatable that we couldn’t eat it. Decided to cut our losses and find somewhere else to eat. And won’t eat there ever again. But loo was clean. Ps Our visiting crow eventually flew off with a bit of scone.

Ordered a sandwich, scampi and a kids fih fingers and took 40 minutes to serve. When asked how long gonna be the answer was:"another 15 minutes", in which time peoples who ordered after us been served. Never ever again attend this location again as the staff being rude saying : is nothing I can do! In my opinion can do more than accept only cash!!! No receipts released.

This is probably the last venue in Leicestershire that doesn't accept cards! Since covid I dont carry cash very often so I was embarrased to have to count out my coins to buy lunch. I spent 1/3 of what I was planning to and it meant we couldn't order what we wanted. There's a cash machine 10mins walk away but with a hungry toddler this wasn't an option. The food was very basic and disappointing. Lovely setting. Could be a lot better.

Friendly staff, great food. It’s now one of our favourite place’s to eat in Loughborough. Easy disabled access. Serving food from sandwiches, cakes to hot food. Can get busy at times but would definitely recommend

A nice café in the park, kind service and decent quality food at an affordable price. Was a bit low on stock (quiet season) when I went but that didn't prevent them from providing a nice lunch.

Sat listening to the numerous birds in the outdoor avaries whilst having a lovely cuppa tea and oven baked potatoe. Pleasant and helpful staff. Clean cafe.

Lovely park with good facilities, especially the nice cafe by the bird cages. Some hot food and other lunchtime snacks and cakes, with drinks and ice creams. Worth supporting!

We were working to a time so the 45 minutes it took to produce a sandwich was a pain. Presumably they were short staffed but we should have been warned it would take so long.

This is a great location and a lovely place to drop in for refreshments but the cafe although clean, light and airy in this hot weather has not kept up with some of the others in the area. The choice of foods remains rather limited, mostly cakes and sandwiches aimed at young families none of which were very exciting perhaps the choice of breads could be revised. Nothing gluten free for my wife.

Great to have a cafe in the park... sometimes surprised more people don’t use it but good for drinks and snacks, cakes and lunches . Fresh and quickly prepared -staff could be friendlier on occasions!!

Queen’s Park is undoubtedly lovely and has great flowers at the mo.. but made even nicer with a pleasant cafe, which serves drinks snacks ice creams and cake. Salads are especially good and would recommend .

We called in for a cuppa and a sit down whilst walking round the park. Friendly welcome and a good scone to accompany the coffee.

Just what is needed here after a visit to the swings etc. Sells small lunches, snacks, ice cream and drinks at a decent price. Inside and outside seating plus a small museum to look round, I would recommend for all ages 👍

It is a lovely venue for a snack if the sun is shining. We sat outside. We had a baked potato and a toastie, which were both good. We would definitely go back.

Visited after listening to the Carillon in the park. Allow time to visit the museum attached to the Cafe.

Visited here early Saturday morning ordered a coffee and a bacon sandwich. Coffee was good but a capochino doesn't mean 1/2 A CUP OF COFFEE WITH THE OTHER HALF FROTH. However the bacon sandwich was poor cheap sliced bread with very little content. First impressions are vital and unfortunately you made a poor one . Staff seemed ok but not overly bothered to make a good impression.

Nos encantó este café durante años y aún contentos el parque tiene una cafetería, pero podría hacer mucho mejor en términos de servicio. Contador es difícil ya que sirven de 2 lados, así nadie sabe dónde hacer cola. . Por lo tanto estaba esperando a un lado mientras el servidor individual sirve al otro lado. . Necesidades mirando pero bueno tener bebidas y helados, especialmente para los niños - no pasarlo tan bien pasteles estos días!

Great little café with friendly staff.Ideal for a slice of cake and a cup of coffee. After walking round the park.

Una agradable cafetería, amplia que hace comida sin gluten, así que está en mi lista. El personal es agradable y excelente ambiente en el parque al lado de la pequeña pero niño - museo amable. Tiene una esquina kutchen jugar y libros para niños y una terraza que es especialmente bonito en verano. Los precios un poco inflados.

I asked the price of a milkshake to be told £1.70. We went ahead and ordered 2. For this price I expected something much better than we got. For a start, was only a small tumbler glass, and to add to this initial disappointment, it was powdered milkshake that had barely even been stirred and dissolved when it was served. Staff were still very nice though. Just felt like I had been ripped off.

No es especialmente barato! Tienen patatas al horno, pero no conseguimos ningún al mediodía del sábado??? Tienen opciones sin gluten, pero sólo genio sándwiches loaf. Sin embargo, una salchicha, tocino, frijoles, dos tomates y un huevo no constituye un desayuno completo inglés en mi libro!!

Queen's Park Cafe es un gran lugar para visitar. El personal es muy amable y la comida y la bebida es buena y no es caro. Está al lado del museo que merece una visita, y también el parque

Lovely to have a cafe in the park. It's right next to the museum and has seating indoor and outside too. Good selection of snacks and cakes and the pot of tea hit the mark after walking round the town for a while. A great place to relax and take a break.

The café is next door to the town museum. The museum is excellent for social history for local people and visitors too. It also has the history of Ladybird books which brought back happy memories. We took a break and had a cheese and coleslaw and a ham and lettuce sandwich in the garden of the café. Both were fresh and reasonably priced. The café is next to the park which is well laid out with some interesting sculptures.

Queen's Park Cafe serves good quality food and a good range of drinks. If you order tea, it is served in individual teapots, and they don't offer you extra water unless you ask for it. Cakes are good.It's in a good location, sited at the top end of Charnwood Museum, the whole building having once been a swimming pool. There is outside seating which is near the part of the park where the tropical birds are kept, so there are often a lot of tweets and squawks to be heard! Nice view across the park when sitting outside

A nice setting for this park cafe in the summer with its outdoor terrace next to the he town museum. Good service, clean but the food is nothing out of the ordinary. Bacon sandwich good. tasty scones. Child friendly.

Great to have a cafe in the park although staff often seem overstretched and not very happy! Scones are good although some cakes are not so tempting... Other food is good and has options for children. The layout is a mess and people never know where to queue although that's not the cafes fault but really needs a makeover and sorting out properly -not two sides to queue/pay!

Called in for a sandwich and coffee. Very busy. Had decent enough bacon sandwich and regular coffee. Staff were friendly. Nice relaxed setting in the park.

near park, nice drink, dont take card, but no worrys was a good day and went here on way back. not a lot to add sorry

Went here randomly. It is a nice cafe, staff could have been slightly more cheerful though. But it was pleasant and clean. Better cafes in lough though

Beverages and snack following Charnwood museum visit, rounded off a great morning in town. Quick and friendly service in pleasant surroundings

This is a great little place whether it is for a coffee or a lunchtime treat.The staff are super friendly and have regular customers as well as passing trade.

Just dropped in for a quick lunch today and treated myself to a home made cottage pie . I have to say it makes a refreshing change and it was absolutely delicious. What an excellent idea ! All staff extremely polite would thoroughly recommend , 5 stars !!!!

This little cafe is a little gem if you want to go somewhere to eat with a family...stuff for kids to play with while you wait for you order...and there are bird a varies outside with some lovely birds on show and it's free!

stoped at this little cafe for a coffee but ended up having lunch. Meals are very simple but still has taste. we finished off with a chocolate cake and coffee, coffee is actually better than most places in town. staff are very friendly. Will be returning soon.

This a small cafe with friendly staff, attached to the town's museum it is the perfect cafe for families with young children. also situated in the park, you can often hear the bands playing on Sundays while enjoying a cup of tea and cake.

Not anything fancy, simple and very pleasant meal, very friendly staff, also very helpfull inlight of my dietry requirements. finished our meal with coffee and cake which im sure we shall be returning for again.

Just spent a nice hour or two visiting the Queens Park (in my wheelchair) and the Queens Park Cafe where I had a fab cooked breakfast with a cuppa, I also noticed a great selection of other food and drink also available on the menu, with seating and tables available inside and outdoors it's a lovely cafe. Great service with a smile. Thanks 10/10 :)

Lovely cafe which was spotlessly clean. Had a delicious cherry scone and drink here and sat outside looking at the beautiful scenery. The staff were lovely and they had a great selection at reasonable prices. Would definitely go again if I was in the area.

We had asked the Queen's Park Cafe to provide tea, coffee, sandwiches, scones & cake for a group of 26 family & friends aged from 7 months to over 80. (Tea in a park... get it?).The weather was on our side and we arrived to find the staff had reserved all of the outside furniture for us despite the fact we'd told them we were happy to mingle with their other customers.Prompt service, pleasant staff. Wife & I were very happy.

This is an amazing spot for tea and a quick meal. It is right by the bird enclosures and the lake, which is really nice.

Enjoy a very good cuppa, cake and cream tea whilst sitting outside and listening to the birds in the aviaries in Queens Park.

A perfect place to take young children when visiting Queens Park or the centre of Loughborough. Right next door to Charnwood Museum. Good choice of food for our grandchildren and reasonably priced. We enjoyed the sandwiches too!Highly recommended.

Right in the heart of Queens Park this cafe has a lot to offer: a sizeable patio perfect for a coffee and cake on a summer's morning and hearty specials such as cottage pie in the winter. The food is affordable, tasty and the salads particularly are generous and fresh. When I visited recently I had a sandwich and a coffee, both of which were really good. The selection of food and snacks on offer is great and the staff are always helpful. I recommend Queens Park Cafe for a meet with a friend over a drink and lunch, the surroundings are perfect and you can while away the hours in the sunshine outside beside the aviary.

Came here for lunch with some friends recently and had a great time! The staff are friendly and chatty which made the environment of the cafe happy and relaxed. Thoroughly enjoyed my lunch (and so did my friends) and will 100% be coming back soon. I have recommended the cafe to members of my family and other friends as I really enjoyed my time there. Will definitely be returning soon.

Just had the displeasure of visiting this cafe for the first time. We were scowled at by one of the staff as she opened up, got told off for daring to try to open the door 2 minutes before it opened and then were told we would have to wait whilst they set up. The worst thing was her general manner, incredibly rude, like we were ruining her day by being there. We just turned around and walked out, it was not the kind of attitude and behaviour we want our 2 year old son to witness.we would have made visiting here part of our weekly routine but won't bother now, customer service at its worst

Great place to take the kids for chips or for a panini for yourself. Nothing flash but great for the kids to run around outside. Situated next to the Avery.

Informal cafe with an excellent choice for snacks, cakes, drinks and ice-creams. Both adults and children enjoyed the food, drinks and cakes along with the opportunity to have an interlude in the connecting Loughborough Museum, which was both interesting and informative for a with a wide range of ages.

Especially nice in the summer, sitting outside overlooking the park. The sandwiches are fresh and filled with plenty , and the cakes are lovely and home made. The service is friendly, quick and very reasonable. It luckily has a children's area inside and even accommodates with fresh bowl of water for the pooch. It does get busy but I will come back when visiting again :)

Very simple but friendly cafe? Children catered for. I had cup of tea, feta and roast pepper panini and homey made coleslaw? Very nice? Good atmosphere? Outside seating? Clean toilets. In Queens Park, which is very pretty.

We have been coming here to refresh ourselves for quite sometime. You know: mid-morning coffees & a bun, or like today, a light lunch, Greek salad, salad with Quiche, carrot cake, tea & a double espresso coffee.Service as usual was prompt & friendly. Prices very reasonable, eat inside or out & finish off, if you are a visitor to the town or even a local person, in the adjacent very informative museum. Queen's Park itself is a credit to the town & just adds to the pleasure, especially like today if the famous carillon is being played, & the sunshine helped!

Very disappointing, they have a gluten free menu so did not think there would be a problem. Ordered gluten free egg on toast but after eating some of the toast realised it was not actually gluten free bread. This really is not good enough, If I go somewhere to eat and I am told my diet can not be catered for fine I will go elsewhere, but if people want to offer gluten free they need to know the implications of the short term discomfort and risk of serious long term health issues that gluten can cause.

Have been coming here for many years and have seen lots of changes but it still remains a lovely, friendly place to have a pot of tea and a bite to eat.Situated in the beautiful central Queens Park there's nothing better than sitting back and relaxing and taking in the atmosphere.

We love going to Queen's Park and this is a great cafe, rain or shine! They offer a good lunch menu, drinks and icecream. Staff are always friendly and helpful. They also have a play area for small children and one of the few places in Loughborough Town Centre with good outdoor seating. Space for buggies and baby change available.

I love the atmosphere of the café, and the fact that there is an outdoor area close to the birds. Easy to access from the museum too, and reasonably priced.

Love the fact that this café is part of the Charnwood Museum and also part of the Queen's Park. Nice menu, lovely staff, great place to chill with friends. Local artwork adorning the walls is often for sale too!

Lovely little cafe. It was a hot day and we visited on 2 occasions while we were in the park. It was clean and the staff were lovely..........Ice cream was good too!

Just right for a visit when taking our grandson for a play in the park.The menu does not do justice to the quality of food and presentation.The children's choice is cheap and cheerful but went down well. My wife selected a jacket potato which was served with a very generous salad whilst I settled for a sandwich and bowl of chips. I was very surprised at how this filled me up as this also included a good sized salad.There's children's books and toys available to entertain during the short wait for the freshly prepared food to arrive.It's worth making time to visit the museum as this is free with clean toilets.
