Normally this place is great. A 20 min wait for breakfast though was a bit disappointing. Still better food than Morrisons though.

From entering the restaurant to getting our food was 40 mins. Not enough staff, nobody in a hurry. Stirring sticks and ketchup had run out. People, like us, just sitting waiting. Our breakfasts were under-whelming when they arrived. Egg leathery, the meal was certainly not HOT. Toast was soggy. Baked beans were good! When we tried to clear away as required, there was no room on the "trolley". People had stacked their trays on tables, chairs etc. Sainsbury's really need to sort this out. We will try somewhere else next time.

We decided to breakfast here one Sunday, instead of our usual, because it was close to B&M. It was worth the trip, and we might do it again if the opportunity arises. Good: * Power points with USB sockets at each table * Comfortable booths * Good baked beans, with a thick but minimal sauce * Can get filter coffee, which seems hard to find nowadays Bad: * Uncomfortable chairs (we moved to a booth) * Prices are much higher than posted online * It’s cold. No matter where you sit, you will get a breeze from the main doors opening as customers enter * Most of the posters have grammatical errors

We visited the cafe at 10.30am, there was signage everywhere saying breakfast was until 11.30am so it was a shame to see a grumpy lady from the kitchen approach the lady at the tills at 10:45am and tell her to stop taking breakfast orders, it was not even busy. She then also said, there's no bacon left either so they will have to have sausages, oh and we are out of mushrooms. The cafe is within sainsburys.... breaking news..they stock bacon and mushrooms in there! it's not rocket science. Tables were not cleaned at all the whole time we were present, food was average at best and there was no brown sauce. Stock control and service are key points to be addressed here.

Cheap fish, tinned soggy peas, poor quality chips. Eggs over cooked. Restaurant has gone down hill massively, it’s really quiet in here and I can see why. We won’t be coming back.

I visited the sainsburys in west swindon to buy items for my daughters dinner I was looking for items low in protein and dairy free so I had to find them throughout the food part of the shop which is very large,the items I found were a dairy free yoghurt by the coconut collection, approx coconut milk, some sweet freedom choc pot chocolate spread with no palm oil a free from margarita pizza low in dairy and protein, also some low protein cheese spread and dairy free ice cream, the shop has all of these items and more for people on a low protein diet a gluten diet or a dairy free diet. There is loads of choice in all areas of the store and kids can be checked into a learning facility while you shop within the store also they have toilets and a very good sized cafe serving hot and cold meals and items there is also a argos within the shop.Outside there is a garden centre, and a b and m store which is extremely large, and apetrol station in carpark there is also a pharmacy a bit further walk there are several other shops one being pets at home and another being dreams bed shop and carpets.

A fairly standard Sainsbury's café, with a reasonable standard and range of food and drink. But whenever I have visited, most of the empty tables are covered in used crockery. So it is not particularly welcoming.

After trying to get a breakfast at Dobbies in Cirencester and being told they had stopped serving breakfast early, we popped here. Lovely lovely breakfast. I was asked if I wanted something instead of the eggs, usually if I ask for an alternative at other places, you’d think I’d asked for a free breakfast by their reaction. Here they asked rather then me having to. Staff were all friendly and polite. Definitely will be coming back, but will have to wear something warmer as despite being the other side of the cafe, the draft from the main supermarket doors made it freezing. People were sat with their coats on and even some with woolly hats on!

I usually shop at Sainsbury and this cafe is the best I have found. Sometimes the wait for food can be a bit long but mostly it is reasonable. Most main meals cost £5 with Taste the Difference meals at £6. I usually stick with the sausage and mash but have tried most of the menu. I would always recommend this cafe

We stopped in fir breakfast on a Saturday morning. I ordered a veggie breakfast with Halloumi and my partner a full English. Both breakfasts were very tasty and we didn't have to wait too long for them but it wasnt busy. The only complaint was the toast was well under cooked and came already buttered. I quite like to do my own butter as I don't always want it. Other than that it was fab.

Knowing that the breakfast stops at 11.30, I arrived in the queue at 11.20. Waited, Waited. 11.30 went. Waited. Then told "not doing breakfast"! It's not my fault if there are not enough staff on to handle the rush. They have 2 tills but only 1 in use. Why was I punished because the staff were slow.

Después de las compras y la salida rápida encontré que necesitaba y más. Era fácil aparcar y me las arreglé para llenar el tanque al mismo tiempo. El único inconveniente es que a veces la salida para el arca como veces carpas premium significa retrasos de Londres. La tienda pone en personal de gestión del tráfico cuando se produce.

Whilst the coffee was nice and the service was okay, the quality of the food was very average. The Big Breakfast was half a plate of tepid beans, with some other items around the outside. It was reasonable value but could easily be improved and step up a notch quite quickly.One of the good things about the Sainsbury's Cafe in general though is their display of the calorie content of the meals and drinks. This does make choice a little more informed.

We had stopped at Sainsbury’s Café, Swindon, last year for breakfast on our way to Cornwall and decided to stop here again this year.There is plenty of room and the tables are not too close together and the staff are friendly and helpful. We didn’t have to wait very long for our breakfast which was freshly cooked and piping hot – unlike some of the so called motorway cafes.As customers left, the tables were quickly cleared and wiped down, and seats cleaned when necessary.This place is definitely worth a visit.

We stopped here for breakfast after our bad experience at the Leigh Delamare Services (EDC) earlier this year and after ordering our food, relaxed in the clean and pleasant café while enjoying a lovely cup of tea.The café was very busy so there was a little bit of a wait but when the food was served it was well worth it, piping hot and cooked to perfection – not a hard egg yolk in sight!The staff were really friendly and seemed to be happy in their work. The food was very reasonably priced – so much nicer than some of those so called motorway ‘services’ for want of a better word!We’ll definitely stop there again for breakfast.

We had just come out of the outlet and so disappointed that the Harry Ramsdens has gone when we called in here and decided to try their hand battered fish and chips.Well we can honestly say it was one of the tastiest fish we have had for a long while, didn't go too much on the chips but loved the fish.Two meals plus a couple of large coffees for under £15 what a treat.

It always amazes me when you shop with Sainsbury when you are ready to check out there are never many tills open i shop early the reason being that I have more to do in a day then stand in a queue waiting and when you ask staff if they can open up more tills they say they don't have the staff even as you look down the Isles seeing 3 or more staff chatting.

Popped in here for a spot of lunch whilst out shopping. This is really what a cafe should be. Staff are very friendlyThe range is not huge but should have everything you may want, and not doing too much means they can provide a higher and more consistent quality.Had the Mega brunch and swapping beans for mushrooms proved to be no issue, Fish and chips was great. Nice and crisp batter and youngest had the pasta bologneise which was polished off very quickly (although he did say it was not as good as mine :-) )For not a lot of money I feel we got a lot of value. 10/10 Sainsburys cafeOnly thing I would criticise would be that the cafe was a bit cold, it does not help being close to the main entrance.

In the context of supermarket cafes, this was very good indeed. Meals cooked fresh to order and service with a smile.Good basic selection of traditional fare, for breakfast, lunch, or just a simple snack. Fish and chips are very good from experience, food and drink is reasonably priced. Good selection of coffees, made freshly for you, not serve yourself from an unreliable machine which is the case in another of our local Sainsburys. This branch is not our nearest Sainsburys, but we always drive the extra distance to come here because it is a far nicer experience. Well done to all the staff at Sainsburys West Swindon.

I was so, so pleasantly surprised by our visit! We were a family of two adults and three children (3, 2, 1 years) so I expect a lot of people see (or hear!) us coming and immediately dread serving us...especially when the children are tired and hungry from an adventure walk and wearing wellies! We didn't order anything special, three children's sandwich bags, a panini and some chips, but the service we received made the visit really enjoyable. All of the staff were really helpful and smiley, the cafe was cleaner than some restaurants I've eaten in and it was superb value for money. I believe the childrens bag was £3 and contained a sandwich (the girls LOVED the chicken and sweetcorn on wholemeal bread-it made a change to jam as in most cafes!), a piece of fruit, a carton of juice, a yoghurt and a packet of crisps...I don't think you could ask for it to be much better value for money. We'll be popping in before the shopping more often :)

My husband and I were traveling around the UK and he wanted to take me to see his first childhood home, as he was born in Swindon. On the way down from Oxfordshire we hadn't bothered to stop for breakfast so we stopped in at Sainsbury's when we got there. The sausage breakfast sandwich I has was the best I'd ever tasted. They use their crusty homemade-style bread and I was DROOLING. I've had other breakfasts and lunches at Sainsburys' cafes before, which were good, but this was the best by far.

We've eaten here many times over the years but it sadly went downhill so we haven't visited in some time. Noticed that it had been taken over earlier this year and reviews looked great so we went on Saturday for my husband's birthday. So glad we did! The refurb is lovely - seating is much more spaced out than previously. Team were all super friendly and efficient - lots of smiles and conversation if you wanted it - just how we like it. It was a very busy Saturday night and they looked full. Service as the evening went on slowed up a little but not drastically so and it didn't detract from our lovely evening. Food was exceptional! We had the crispy olives to nibble on, the trout for mains (please keep this on the menu it was amazing) and vanilla creme choux pastry and roast pineapple for dessert. It was all stunning! We only live a few miles away and are so glad to have a top notch eatery on our doorstep! Already re-booked to go with family for lunch in a few weeks time so fingers crossed we'll have the same wonderful experience! Top marks to the chef!!

Poorly trained staff gave our order waited an hour, no one is aware of a table not having been served, we checked, the order hadn’t been put through. Staff and bar man have no idea what whats going on, would rather chat to each other than look a customer in the eye, wasn’t busy. They are not trained that there’s a table there that’s been in a long time but no food. We were then promised it would be out in 5 mins but still took 15 a total of 1hr 20 mins wait for two sandwiches, no reduction on the bill either just poor training won’t be going back.
