I've been a few times to this restaurant and always found it pleasant but after today I am sadly not returning. I understand they were having their tills removed and payment methods changed this day but there was no communication. However the staff were so rude and off putting, we felt in the way and forgotten. There was a 45 minute wait for food which if we had known we would have gone elsewhere, but we were not advised and had to chase our lunch dishes from a server in training. When trying to pay we could not get anyone's attention to the point where it felt we were being avoided. one of us had to go to the bar to ask for the bill. We paid and promptly left.

Amazing place! Cosy vibes and service is great, with an excellent selection of breakfast food, especially for vegetarians. Everything was lovely, including the drinks and coffee! We will definitely be back.

Two Birds One Stone has become a regular thing for us once a month or so and we dont live in that area. Lovely place, really top quality food, two of us have brunch there for well under £40. Its always clean, tidy and very comfortable. The staff are the nicest people we've met, they recognise us when we go now. It's well worth a visit and I'm confident you too will want to go again.

Superb restaurant - went for an unbooked lunch and didn’t have to wait very long for a table. It’s very clean and bright, the staff are really friendly and welcoming and the food is excellent. The best fish finger sandwiches ever! No rough breadcrumb coating - just a beautiful light batter on the goujons. Next time we visit family in the area, we’ll definitely go back. Can highly recommend.

Badly cooked food, coffee with a scum and too noisy to hear a conversation. Can't see why people rave about this unless it was for the excellent staff.

Very busy for a Thursday, but the staff were still very accommodating in helping me with a pram, the service was prompt polite and friendly. The waiting time for food was more than acceptable. The salted caramel for desert was something else. Great lunch all round, will deffo go back

1st time eating at Two Birds & One Stone today, very strange experience. Lovely feel about the place and my food was nice, poached eggs overdone and not runny but no big deal. The strange bit was that I ordered the kids fruit salads each at £3.50, no joke it consisted of half a cut up strawberry each and 8 small blueberries in a tiny plastic bowl, I took a picture it looked so daft and ill attach here if I can but it was laughable. £7 for 1 sole strawberry 🍓and some blueberries. I mentioned to first waitress that must be wrong, she said they ran out of raspberries and will come back, didn't come back so I stopped another to see if she can help, the manager (I think) then came over very defensive, with a whole full cut up strawberry and proceeded to say that this was the normal kids fruit portion size and that they dont normally serve fruit after 11am but they did serve it as an exception (which is a weird thing to say when I was never told, like I should somehow be grateful?) why give me the menu with it on if its problem? I dont know, weird. Anyway the waitress/manager begrudgingly gave my kids a strawberry to share as a “gesture of good will”. 😂 For some strange reason I tipped the nice waitress at the end (one who was very nice) 10% hoping to get some kind of apology for the weird experience but I got nothing, just the managers back to me and my family as we left… nice… Shame, could/should so easily have been a nice meal but ruined it for no reason and now I'm writing a bad review which I've never done before. 🤷♂️

Great food, well cooked. One of the best salmon dishes I have had, no pinkness. Reasonably priced as well. Both dishes were still hot on delivery, not always the case elsewhere. Staff friendly and realised and apologised when the drink order was delivered incorrectly . Minor quibble though. Very busy as well so booking recommended. Definitely go back.

Live local and coming in for a while think the chef has changed we like the nachos and beef stefardo which have changed and put us off having again seems as though it’s pre cooked and then warmed up when you order when previously the food felt more fresh We eat in Whitfield every weekend in all the restaurants so I know when the food is not right !!!

We've called in for breakfast on a number of occasion always served on cold or slightly warm plates so food goes cold in no time, bacon over cooked so much so last time I struggle to cut it, toast under done. I normally take the beans off as don't like the taste of them no reduction on the price, what i do object to if I add a slice of bacon how you can justify charging an extra £1.50 to swap an item for something else that is the cheaper price. Most places ask would you like to swop for another item. Nobody asked us was everything alright with our food which is overpriced for what you get we wont be in a rush to return.

A nice place to visit to have a drink and some dinner but I wouldn’t recommend the roast. Have been here for a Sunday dinner twice and I would say it is mediocre at best. We ordered several adult roast dinners and a child’s portion but got sharing plates veg which I wasn’t a big fan of. The gravy is very salty which isn’t ideal. I ordered a lemon meringue blondie for dessert, which was practically still raw and inedible.

Visited for breakfast. Food was ok .. scrambled egg was over cooked .. cold, dry and quite a small portion. They said they were unable to substitute the black pudding which we didn’t want with anything else which was a bit strange so we just asked them to leave it off. The vegetarian breakfast was just ok too. Would have mentioned the cold breakfast if staff came round to check or ask if everything was ok. We tried it. Don’t think we will go again though

A very nice place to visit for breakfast. I had the ‘full English’ which was excellent - large portions of all the right ingredients. Beans not exactly to my liking, neither the method of serving tea, but for most people they would probably be OK. Excellent service by a happy, cheerful and well organized waitress. Decent value for money.

Live just around the corner from here and so lucky to have it on our doorstep. Visited for brunch today and it was amazing as usual. Lots of choice for veggies, I had the veggie brekkie and it’s so so good! Staff are really friendly. Only negative I could say is the price of drinks is a little expensive, in comparison to the food prices which are really reasonable for the quality and quantity you receive.

The English breakfast is one of the worst I have had, sausage and breads with no taste, baked beans tasted metallic, even my coffee was of poor taste. I was asked if I wanted brown or white toast but not that it was an extra charge and I had to go and request butter. I will not be returning.

Firstly, food is lovely and the waitress was very polite. However, I left with a slightly sour taste in my mouth (figuratively not literally) We ordered the Veggie breakfast which comes with mushrooms, and asked if we could swap the mushrooms for Spinach (which are both available as side orders, each at £1.50). We were then told that if we wanted to make a change to the breakfast we would have to order Spinach as an extra (seemed petty as they are the same price as extras, but we agreed nonetheless) Then the breakfast arrived with Spinach, but no mushrooms. So basically we paid an extra £1.50 to swap the mushrooms for Spinach? Seems totally ridiculous. Not sure how you can justify charging an extra £1.50 to swap out an item for something else that is the same price.

Beautiful place and wonderful staff, but if you know good food, this place is extremely disappointing. Extortionate for the quality and completely inauthentic. Microwaved, bland frozen broccoli. Stale fried calamari. Ravioli and pizza were just okay, could find food like that in cheap town locations. Pastries/desserts were nice! But also extremely overpriced. Many of the staff/possibly the chefs seemed like teenagers? Hoping we just went on a bad day but seems like overhyped visually aesthetic viral insta place with bad food - sold to people who are easily influenced/aren't foodies. Love the interior and the vision though!!!! Just was kinda hoping for the passion behind the food that Sparrows has as a "hidden gem" kinda place. Paid £96 for 2 mains, 2 starters + olives (£5?!), 2 drinks, 1 dessert and 2 pastries.
