The View Cafe in Fylde

Been a while since my last visit as it's a fair distance We entered the cafe,looked at a menu screen & Placed a order for 2 chicken Currys Nan bread & rice You could even put in allergies info screen 2 coffee paid by card very quick transaction The food was brought to the table & get your own coffee from machine It was a good portion ,hot everything was good, enjoyed really tasty The bread seemed very fresh smelling the herbs rice light, chicken fresh good taste We realised you got free refills on coffee a great extra Staff was topping up the fridges sandwich & cakes looked good prices good Look forward to our next visit

Stopped here after a long tiresome journey up the car park that is now the M6. While my wife went to order I went to use the facilities. Which sadly were an absolute disgrace, as was the rest of the restaurant, so much so I about turned without using them and told my wife not to order. Toilet hadn’t been flushed, someone had deliberately planted an excrement on top of a mass of toilet paper and there was some on the floor!! Staff hadn’t bothered to check, nor had they bothered to clean the restaurant as tables and the floors were covered in discarded wrappers and uneaten food. I asked to speak to a manager and someone appeared who I presumed was eight and shrugged her useless shoulders when I explained how filthy the place was. Her and the rest of the staff looked as if they’d one brain cell between them. Absolutely disgusting filthy establishment. Next call with be to environmental services.

Unfortunately I've had to change my review. Ordered takeaway tonight from Cousins and it was not enjoyable at all. Chicken was awful and sauce seemed off (taste and smell) Massive let down as this used to be a lovely takeaway. £30 on food that was gross!

Visited today with my husband for a browse around the garden centre and lunch in the cafe. We have said never again! The garden centre is nice with a nice selection of gifts and obviously home/garden ware, but the cafe was absolutely disgraceful! First impressions are that the cafe looks very run down. Empty display cabinets, and even though it was 1.30pm so peak lunch time, it wasn't busy at all. We took a seat in a booth and noticed the seats were all ripped. Dirty floors full of crumbs and food and dirty, uncleared tables everywhere. Flies hanging around and crawling over the tables. We had to clear a table ourselves to get somewhere to sit. I sat down and found a squashed chip stuck to my shoe. We should have just walked out there and then. There was a sign saying hot food wasn't available today for some reason, so I ended up selecting a cherry scone that looked like it had seen better days. We ordered two lattes that tasted burnt and strong. Overall, a terrible experience and we definitely won't be returning. I suspect Dobbies at Preston will be closing soon, as I know they have closed other stores in the North West, so they have not spent any money on the cafe and they are running on skeleton staff.

Really disappointed. I think they have new owners ? As this used to be one of our favourite takeaways ! And now the menu has changed and the food is terrible ! And most of all ...once you order they cancel it after about an hour waiting ! We had to then wait for a refund and order from somewhere else ! What has happened leo? You were once really amazing ! And now you are absolutely terrible ! Really Really disappointed!
