The Old Stables Cafe&Bistro in Kirklees

On 6/8/24 I was served by a lady named Theresa who was on the till. And let me just say her customer service skills need a lot of work. She scowled her whole time of serving myself and my wife. Just from this one encounter alone I will not be returning which is very disappointing due to the fact it would have been our local garden centre

Stay away from here. !! Went here for lunch with a friend, ordered a smoothie and glass of water, forgot the water then when asked, carried out a half filled glass of water on a hot day. Ordered a ham sandwich- 1 piece of ham and 2 pieces of tomato for an entire bread roll My friend got a chicken panini which cost £5, was absolutely disgusting and the owner refused a refund or the ability to swap as he said the chicken was too expensive Staff very rude Can get a better meal from McDonald’s.

I left a note and now this review. The breakfast was inedible. We waited 20 minutes for you to overcook it, had you brought it out earlier it would not have been so. Look at your ratings and start giving a damn. Food today is so expensive, and you seem to think it is fine to sell this breakfast. Why not employ someone who can actually cook. Or find a store manager that understands quality control. Your a disgrace for such a large chain, and no one is doing anything about it, disregarding customer reviews. Get a grip, get a cook, get your store manager in the loop.

This place is getting worse. 3 staff behind the counter and me and one other waiting to order. No one acknowledged us and stood waiting, being ignored, while they made Uber eats / deliveroo orders with their backs to us. Ended up walking out, again, but for the last time. Not going back. It's a scruffy dump, poor / overworked staff and ridiculously expensive. I reckon it will close soon there's never anyone in.

Went today with my Mum to have breakfast/lunch before we did our shopping. We arrived just after 11am. Mum wanted a breakfast, I fancied one of the 'light bites' which are mainly panini's (which I like) I went to the counter to ask if the 'light bites' were being served at this time. Yes indeed they were, they are served all day. Excellent. So I ordered the tuna, cheese and spring onion panini but the lady said they weren't serving paninis as they had no panini rolls. No problem, so I asked if I could order from the 'lunch menu'. The lady then suddenly announced that no food would be served for 30 minutes as the chef had just left the kitchen to have his lunch! Really? I half thought she was joking but she then kind of ran off into the back. Went to get Mum who'd found us a nice table to tell her lunch was off as the chef was having his 😀 Did our shopping, was interesting to find packs of panini rolls in the bread section 🙄.
