The Tower Cafe in Erewash

Lovely food, great atmosphere, wish they were open more!

I won a raffle from Field House Infant School, getting to spend a whopping £25 at Kitchen HQ! I couldn’t resist trying out their meal deals, and they were absolutely delicious! I chose a variety of options; protein mac & cheese, pulled pork & sweet potato, hamburger mince & potatoes, chicken & chorizo paella, 4 x jerk wings and 4 x different fizzy drinks. It was a real feast! And the best part? All the meals were freshly cooked and perfectly seasoned, only requiring reheating in the microwave, which was super convenient. I’m definitely planning to visit Kitchen HQ again soon to check out their Sunday dinner options.

Not sure if the staff were having an off day but really uncomfortable experience. Started when I asked for a corner table that seated 4 people when there was only 2 of us eating( at this point only one other lady in the cafe). They said we could sit at the table I asked for but were not very gracious( we would have moved if it got busy) . The other lady ordered her food after her friend arrived and was not sure about a dish to which the person serving said ‘ Do you want it or not ‘ in a very rude tone. When my sister arrived the waitress came up and asked her if wanted a drink and my sister started to order a drink and food to which she was abruptly told she could order her drink and then food. My sister asked if she could order her drink and food together to which she was told that was’ not the process’ . The waitress took the drinks order and then immediately asked what food we wanted, which made no sense that she couldn’t take the order together. Sadly we then asked if we could have the chicken and halloumi without the spicy coating ( we had ordered it before like this without a problem) to which the waitress sighed and then made a bit of a fuss but agreed to ask. The food arrived as we ordered but without a word from the waitress despite us thanking her. Very awkward and I didn’t enjoy the food really , really spoilt the whole experience which was sad as I was on holiday from work so don’t often get to go out for lunch in the week. I won’t be going back but I am guessing the waitresses won’t be disappointed as if you ask for anything it appeared to really pee them off

All pubs should be like this....

Never a bad experience. The food is always bang on! Thank you
