Popped in en route back from the dentist in Fleckney . Staff are super friendly and coffee was gorgeous.My only reason for a 4 is that dogs were allowed to lollop all over the furniture which I’m not a fan of in an environment serving food and drink given that many had been walked and were filthy ( I am a dog owner myself and wouldn’t allow it or would at least hope staff would discourage it ) .

Lovely stop on a bike ride. Lovely food selection. I had a sausage ciabatta which was more than ample in a lovely baked baguette. Latte was good too. Will come again

For snacks and drinks it's a little bit pricey I feel, but then isn't everywhere these days🤔 That said thisust be one of the nicest and most popular cafes in the region so they must be doing something right. Cakes and coffees are delicious and it's a lovely venue.

I held my little boy's Naming Ceremony in the cafe's Green Room at the beginning of November 2023 and I honestly couldn't fault them. The grazing platters were incredible and SO well presented! They split the meat, veggie and vegan options as I requested and there was plenty! They also created his Ceremony cake, which was so so pretty and exactly what I asked for, and tasted even better than it looked! Definitely recommend the lemon sponge! They were attentive, checking on a regular basis if everything was ok and we were happy, and just so friendly and kind. Highly recommended holding your event there 🥰

My friend and I chose to eat here and chose the quiche which was delicious, however my friend ordered a tea and it couldn’t be served with the food …. So the server gave hot water and a separate tea bag, my friend changed her mind and asked for a latte instead and the ignorance of the server was very clear, not friendly and needs to remember to serve the public with the respect they derserve …. The public pay your wage. We will not return as this service is terrible.

When we visited there were 2 private parties going which took up inside and outside space and staff were focussing on these people, also meant the toilets were closed in cafe too. Menus could not be seen until already queued for a long time. Order area was very hot, cramped and busy. Only one till point. Very overpriced compared to similar places we have visited. But as we had queued so long we just ordered. Sadly this doesn't complement the maze experience we had previously to coming in here.

Lovely surroundings and choice of inside and outside areas to eat and either in the sun or shade. Seemed quite busy but lots of tables free to choose from. What was so disappointing was the queue for food! I left my friend sitting on her own for what was over half an hour to join a queue that started outside in a dining area past people eating and then wound all around the inside ordering area. This also making it awkward to go and see the choice of cakes & quiches on offer before deciding which I will say all homemade and all looked delicious. After ordering there was a very short wait before our food arrived which was beautifully presented and delicious. At no time though at all did the queue go down which totally put us off going to order another drink or a cake or ice cream which we had planned to do. We chose to move on elsewhere for these. Other places similar to Wistow we’ve visited locally have introduced an app based ordering system which could possibly be a great idea here. Not to everyone’s choice to order this way but would certainly cut down the half hour canteen style queuing.

Unfortunately, the salad I found was overpriced for its worth. I was expecting a good tasty dressing at the very least. Large portion of salmon and I thought there could have been more leaves/ vegetables. Perhaps a good dressing and proportion check would make it more enjoyable. Good service otherwise, thank you.

On arrival there was no menu displayed as it used to be on the wall so we had to search for menus. No staff helped us to find a menu to know what to order. On the counter there were quiches on display that were not covered which could attract flies etc.. I informed staff of this and they were not very friendly and just covered some of them up but not all of them. The food I wanted to order was not available so I ordered a Quiche although was a bit put off after they were on display and not covered but I did not fancy anything else on the menu. The Quiche came with salad & crisps but at £11.95 I felt it was overpriced. I could have had a main course at a pub for the same price and had more food. The food quality was ok but I expected the quiche to be heated up and it wasn't. I will not be rushing back here as it is really overpriced & not good value for money.

As ever a lovely setting and great food and drink, unfortunately as with the last few times we have visited there was terrible and chaotic customer service, this is hardly a surprise and is a direct result of there only being one payment till! At one point the queue was 25 deep! This feedback is meant constructively as better organisation and management could easily resolve this issue!

Just back from having an afternoon tea, have to say it was delicious 😋, more than we could eat, we had to take some home, a mix of Sandwich, sausage rolls, small cakes, brioch ham rolls, salad, fruit , scone with jam and clotted cream plus as much tea as you could drink, lovely pleasant atmosphere, friendly staff who could not do enough to ensure our experience was an enjoyable one. The presentation of the cake stand was beautiful and shows whoever makes them up takes pride in what they do, try this place, have an afternoon tea not a jacket potato if you want to do an accurate review, then you get the full benefit, plus have a look at their selection of cakes, beautiful.

It was my birthday brunch with my daughters. We all chose what we wanted at the till, I ordered first then my daughters. We were given a number and we went to find a table. We waited patiently, my daughters meals came and i was told mine won't be long. I thanked the waitress and carried on talking to my daughters. I told my daughters to carry on eating as they were hungry. They had nearly finished their meals but my Greek salad was still not served. My daughter went to find out whats going on and came back to carry on her meal. A waitres came to ask if any additional drinks wanted. I told her my daughters have finished their meals so may as well cancel my order and she walked away. I went to the till to get my money refunded and was told my lunch is being done now so I asked if i am going to be charged and the kind staff said no he won't charge me so i went back to my table waiting again. The nice gentlemen staff brought and apologised for the meal being late, I thanked him. As I was about to tuck into my late lunch, the manager came to tell me I need to pay for my meal as its not paid for in front of all other customers. I told her I ordered first out of the 3 meals at the till. She says as a one off we won't charge you after making a big deal about it and asking me infront of other people to pay. I went to talk to her again as I could not believe she asked me to pay for it after being told I don't have to after waiting forever for my meal and spoilt my birthday meal. The staff obviously had better heart and training of customer service than the manager talking to me the way she did! Terrible service and treatment !

The food came out super quick and was delicious, not to mention the aesthetically pleasing surroundings and friendly staff. The food was well worth its money, and I have payed more elsewhere for a much smaller size breakfast. Although there was a large selection of drinks both hot and cold, we decided to have a large mug of tea, and my partner was glad to see it not being served in a tea pot. Overall such a lovely place and will be visiting lots more!!

OK, so before I begin, please don't mistake us for a random cafe stop. We, as in (Married Couple) make a living visiting, trying and reviewing food outlets across the UK. We live in Leicestershire, we read mixed reviews and decided to try and review for ourselves. What we found? We decided not to upload our video onto YouTube, as we believe it would have a detrimental effect upon your business, we don't wish to do that, but we do hope you make note, take on board and make vast improvements, immediately. So, a Jacket Potato, how much does a single Jacket Potato cost to buy? Not alot. Despite, any form of climate we are experiencing. £8 plus, for a Jacket Potato, which you charge, is absolutely absurd, we order 2 of these, with Cheese, expecting thee best of the best. No. What did we get served? We got Served a Frozen, Microwaved Jacket Potato, it's very important to note, we know exactly what a frozen, microwaved Jacket Potato taste like, once cooked, they deliver a almost chemical, unediable taste. Did we eat the Jacket Potato? No. One bite was enough. Together with this order, two teas, you've either not got the common sense to offer a pot of tea, or you simple wish to be greedy, we'll go with the latter. So, considering you don't offer a pot of Tea, you offer, one cup of tea for £2.50. Let's put things into perspective for a moment, your cup of tea is the same price as a coffee / Hot Chocolate from most outlets. Your outlay with a tea, is the tea bag, dash of milk and maybe a sugar? Tea can still be a fantastic profit, priced at £0.80 - £1.20. You're clearly exploting this. To charge such prices, a specialality needs to be implemented, loose tea, cafeteria etc. Not, just a mug of tea! Atmosphere, so basically we was sat in a makeshift LeanTo, Greenhouse effect when the sun was out. The Leantoo looks like a amateur DIYER has put it together, absolutely nothing here is professional, and by far does not Warrant the ludicrous prices. What should you take from this? Appreciate, you are simply a makeshift leantoo, your food is massively below standards. Your quality of food in relation to your pricing is simply taking advantage of customers. What do you need to do to rectify this? Firstly, you need to stop blaming the "cost of living on your prices" You need to start selling top quality food, no frozen microwaved Potato's at a very reasonable price. We will be returning, another review will take place and hopefully all involved will have too notice and made vast changes.

Afternoon Tea was a little disappointing yesterday. We came here for Afternoon Tea last May, and we felt like we had had a proper Afternoon Tea then. The one yesterday was very disappointing in comparison - there were half the amount of sandwiches there were last year, and they weren't freshly made but the bread was dry. The sausage rolls and other savoury bits were a quarter of the size that they were last year. The cakes were also very disappointing, in comparison - nowhere have I ever seen two scones with one tiny pot of jam and one small pot of clotted cream. The service was dreadful - we waited a long time to go in, although we had booked. Previously tea and coffee were copious. We were presented with one small teapot for 2 people and then had to try to attract someone's attention to get another pot of tea. There certainly wasn't £90 worth of food and/or service there. There are lots of other places competitively priced, so will try somewhere different next time.

Great food, albeit confusion in the kitchen and high client demand, led to a delay in my food being brought out. My friend got her food 15 mins earlier than me, which was somewhat frustrating. Aside from that, the server was very polite and apologised profusely. Despite the delay, the food was excellent when finally served. If service timings had been sharper, the cafe would have received "5 stars" across the board. I will certainly visit again at some point.

Cute cafe but very expensive. I was willing to pay the £8.25 for a jacket potato, ×2 for my boyfriend and I. However, while waiting for him I ordered a coffee (added charge for dairy free) and was finishing some work on my laptop. Twas then approached by a woman who informed me that I wasn't allowed to plug in my laptop due to the cost of energy... I wouldn't have minded so much if she didn't continue to speak to me as though I knew nothing of the current energy situation. This was a Wednesday lunchtime and the cafe was very busy, I found it hard to believe it was a real "survival" situation and did nothing but encourage us to take our business elsewhere. If you really are turning fridges off to combat the energy increase of 15p to 65p per unit, I would advise a polite notice above your sockets asking not to be used rather than an awkward conversation leaving your customer feeling unwelcome and leaving.

This review would of been a 1 star if it wasn't for the beautiful surroundings. The one star rating would of solely been on the pricing of the current menu. Please note, the cost of living, ever increasing energy prices are very apparent to me as a business owner myself, and as a regular cafe / farmshop/ Garden centre cafe visitor, I go to a wide range of places and expect a price increase, and will support that small business. However, I'm sorry to say, I and we as a family, found your prices insulting, Jacket Potato's have always had a huge mark up, even with the price increases I can still go to some very nice places and get a Jacket Potato, for £4.95 with salad and coleslaw, and no surprise, all the other customers are also there eating their Jacket Potato's, it's a sell out. Toast, appreciate £2 for toast and butter, I'd happily pay that. But then, let's add some beans. "Beans on toast £6" this is where it becomes insulting, and where the increased energy price per unit can not be used as an excuse. You don't need a calculator to work out, you're charging £4 for a portion of beans. Tea, £2.50 for a mug of tea. Again insulting. In comparison, other beautiful places offering "pot for 2" £2.25 or another example being loose tea, nicely presented in a cafeteria. It makes all the difference in warranting the price. I reviewed your whole menu, and agreed with some prices, but unfortunately this was outweighed by other prices that I can only describe as insulting. I appreciate you won't like this review, but I believe you'd generate more income / more sales if you revised your prices. I will return, and I will happily change my review accordingly.

Awful! Rude staff. Customer service was horrible. I was told to leave the premise as my kids dropped crumbs on the table. Having bought coffee and hot chocolate from them, We kept one of the cake box bought from the shop next door by accident next to the coffee mug we were told to leave as to them it looked like we are having food bought from outside on their premises which was disrespectful. The lady confronted us twice in front of everyone which was very embarrassing. I hope they don’t get my review removed as I want to share my personal experience to the other members of public. I was at the ‘Wistow Cafe’ at around 15:10 on 08/10/2022. I even have a receipt to prove just in case this review get taken down as fake. Please consider. Thank you.

Been here multiple times now. Went for lunch today and was so impressed with the quality of the food. Jacket potato was lovely and the filling (cheese and chive mayo) was outstanding. Plenty of salad with dressing, good value for the money and left us really full. Loved the seasonal drinks too and the general atmosphere is always pleasant and relaxing. Service was brill, quick and friendly despite it being super busy. I worked in this industry for 7 years so understand how stressful it can be but everyone kept a smile and food serving times were outstanding and quality didn’t waver at all. Never had a bad visit here, super job everyone

Do NOT go to this place. Horrible customer service and very racist. They only want white customers. They think coloured customers cannot speak English. Rude in front of other customers and our children. Do not spend your money there. What a waste of time and money!

Popped in today for breakfast, one of very few places you can just turn up until midday and get breakfast these days. We had a bacon pancake stack and big meat breakfast. Neither disappointed us. Our order came out within minutes of finding a table, in their beautiful green room. The pancakes were delicious and plenty of bacon in-between each pancake. The big breakfast was all cooked to perfection and extremely good value for money.

The only thing stopping a five star review is the length of time queuing to order just drinks at busy times.

I seldom bother writing reviews of places that I have been to that have been poor as I prefer to be positive - but we go to Foxton Locks regularly and this place annoyed me. First up, the coffee is
