Visiting the cafe on weds 16th November, we had attended the Poppins play group, and I had my little one in tow. Just before the group ended I popped over to the cafe and spoke to a lovely young lady who kindly reserved the table i requested for lunch. My son has sensory issues so I specifically requested a table next to the window and the lego table. As we arrived, I found that the reserved sign had been removed and other customers were sitting at the table. I spoke to another female member of staff and she informs that she removed the reserved sign and seated other people at the table. When I asked why she had done this and what could she do to rectify the situation, she shrugged and informed me it was not her problem. As there were no other tables free, we had to leave. One very upset little boy, with no lunch and couldn't understand why we had to leave. I have worked in hospitality over 12 years and wouldn't dream of speaking to a customer in such a manner. Shocking service from this individual. Would never return again.

Visit this place pretty much every year when I visited friends. Its clean and well kept, a little pricey, £1.50 for a can of pop?!? Its has kids toys which is fab BUT they are disgustingly dirty a d could do with replacing. It's. Nice place, Inclusive working environment which is fab!!! The usual lazy parents and unruly kids which spoils it a bit.

It's hard to find fault with this cafe - its tucked away, private and some may say cramped, but at the same time its awfully charming and welcoming. From a service perspective it's amazing - plenty of smiles all round and cheerful words. Its quick, clean and efficient and everyone gets involved and helps each other, which is great to see. The food is excellent, but the stand out for me is the coffee. Personally I find it to be better then some big well known chains and it is often presented beautifully. Obviously tastes vary but I can't see it ever being a disappointment. Overall it's an outstanding little cafe and well worth a visit if you're passing, or - as I do - make a detour to stop by.

Calling into the Gateway Coffee Shop for lunch today was special. The staff were so cheerful and obliging. The order was a simple one but it was served wth care and good presentation. The whole coffee shop was alive with customers enjoying a snack or cuppa. Although the staff were really busy, they still took time to talk with the customers. The location is ideal, just on the edge of town and close to the old railway track now a nature trail. The Gateway is a good place to have a break while hiking or to finish off your stroll/hike. It is always special to see families enjoying their time at the coffee shop. Do recommend you make a visit and discover this oasis of refreshment yourselves. GlobalNomad37

Some very friendly staff, others need to learn to plaster a smile and get rid of the scowl on their face. Place is OK, quite cramped. Service is quick and food seemed fresh, OK prices, kids meal was expensive. I wouldn't rush back.

Ideally situated between Ninesprings country park and the town centre. The Gateway Coffee shop serves excellent coffee and light lunches and you are guaranteed a warm welcome from the lovely staff. Also there is seating area outside for those sunnier days. If you’ve not been there before I would thoroughly recommend it .... Go on give it a try, what have you got to lose?

Good coffee, inexpensive, friendly atmosphere. A lovely place to chill on the sofas or at a table - simple lunches and snacks made to order. Go with friends go with the kids or go alone - space outdoors too and close to great children's play area and country park. What's not to like

I use the GateWay coffee shop regularly for meeting up with people. I love the friendly atmosphere and welcome you get by the staff. Food and drinks are really good and well priced. Thankyou!

So I was down in Yeovil to watch my Beloved Oldham Athletic Vs Yeovil Town so I headed to Huish park and after having a nosey around the stadium 🏟 and the Yeovil Town club shop. I had done my research by Googling Yeovil Town Away guide and lots of sites said that the Arrow is a local pub/Restaurant that welcomes Home and Away fans so a steward said to Use Google Maps to get there by cutting through a lovely little estate as opposed to walking all round the World. 10 minutes later I had arrived at the Arrow Pub to see an Army of our fans in our home, Away and Third shirts including some retro Oldham shirts. Huge bar and restaurant are, Pub was absolutely crammed full of locals, Home and away fans, families etc. The Man City Vs Crystal Palace match was being on shown on every tv in the restaurant and bar area, Cracking atmosphere, Huge variety of drinks on offer from pop to non alcoholic to beers, Craft beers, Guinness, Spirits and obviously being in Somerset loads and loads of different Ciders. As busy as it was bar staff did a great job, Super polite and friendly and extremely proficient, I opted for a Pint Of Brooklyn Lager that was crisp, ice cold well served and went down a treat on a lovely summers ☀️ day in Somerset. I felt abit peckish so I went into the restaurant but and ordered a chicken 🐔 feast which was chicken wings, Popcorn chicken, Southern Fried chicken steak, Chips and a rack of ribs, Food came out in good time considering how busy the pub was. Food came was well presented, Nice and hot and tasted absolutely delicious 😋 honest cooked to perfection, generous portion and the restaurant was spotlessly clean again considering how busy the pub was. Really enjoyed my food and opted for another Pint of Brooklyn Lager and it again was ice cold, crisp and went down well in the Yeovil sun 🌞. I finished my pint and walked the short walk back to Huish park ready for the match. I post alot of reviews on Google and I always give my honest opinion on everything from food, cleanliness, drink, Service, value for money, setting, ambience etc and I have over 32,000,000+ views on Google alone. I have reviewed everything from Locally to me and my Wife in Manchester to travelling around going for food with my Wife to travelling around the country watching my Beloved Oldham Athletic. I have reviewed everything from Restaurants to bars to beaches to beach clubs to taxis to airports to flights to beauty treatments to Barbers to hotels to Churches to Basilica to shooting ranges to hair dressers etc. From Manchester to Split(Croatia), Hvar(Croatia), Supetar(Brac, Croatia),Rome(Italy), Vatican(Italy), Bezier Cap d'Agde(South of France), Montpellier(South of France), Podgorica(Montenegro), Budva(Montenegro), Tirana(Albania), Sarande(Albania), Ksamil(Albania), Krakow(Poland), Zakopane(Poland) and this time next week we will be in Cape Verde.

Excellent little hidden Gem. Nipped in to find a quiet corner to do some work emails before heading home. Daryl was lovely going the extra mile and provided me with an extension lead. My colleague had the rump steak and I the soup, great service and yummy tasting food. Free parking too!

Only used the restaurant so can't comment on the rooms. Have been to this restaurant many many times and have never been disappointed. The service is great as is the food. Sunday roasts are the best !! Our favourite place for sure !

Very rare you come across a pub that brings it all. Great ale, great Cider and amazing grub. Proper gem.
