Came for a bite to eat. Unfortunately it's drinks only but quite a lot of choice

Sadly the worst breakfast I've been delivered. Came late ! Rubber black pudding,hash browns. Very few beans. Toast like rubber. I think they must have gone out of their way to make food has bad as it was! The one star is for the sausage, it was nice

Without being spectacular. The food was nice and reasonably priced (£37 for lunch for 2 including a soft drink each). The guy serving (I guess was the manager/shift leader?) was very pleasant too. But at the end of the day it’s a ‘chain’ and I find you rarely get the genuine care and warmth of a locally owned place with a stake in the place. Would I go back? Yes, it’s a chain but it’s still well ahead of most chains but I’d choose a local place first (not possible in Cheshire Oaks of course 😊).

From the start this place was a shambles, we are here 12 months ago and it was just as bad but as we were out and been sent a discount voucher by them we thought we would give them another go, we should have bothered ! Stood for 10 mins at the entrance waiting to be seen, we had booked a table in advance, we were eventually seated on a tiny table in the middle of the floor no room on the table and no room around us as my chair was hit by staff and customers the whole time ! We asked politely could we move to a slightly larger table and was told no were too busy !!! The tables in question stood empty for our entire visit … The drinks took ages as did the food, The food was overcooked and bland at best and for a chain restaurant was also very expensive £9 for a very small calamari starter … We then waited 35plus mins for our main which was just ok …… the server was slow and disinterested all night over all for staters and soft drinks an pizza for 3 the bill was £80 not value for money at all so thank god for the discount code . The assistant manager is the only shinning light in the restaurant …..

My wife and I are regular customers when we visit the retail outlet. When we were there on Wednesday 23rd October the coffee and cake was very nice but there was a cold draught coming from some of the air conditioning units. I had to move seats 3 times to get out of the cold draught. Also 3 other customers had the same problem.

Ate here with family & although our waitress was good & the food arrived quickly, the dishes were grossly over priced considering the portion sizes & lack of meat. For example the Pad Thai chicken & prawn (item no. 48) was full of fillers (cheap stuff) like noodles & beansprouts & had only 4 small prawns & a few tiny (1cm) pieces of chicken. Considering the price of chicken (£4 for a 2kg chicken) & prawns (£2 for 250 gm) in a supermarket, I calculated the total food material cost to be less than £1 - which means the profit margin (at the sales price of £15) is above 1400% ! This clearly shows the extreme greed of the Wagamama owners because normal restaurants typically operate at margins of 20 to 100%. Of course, Wagamama will argue that the labour cost is excluded in this calculation but considering that the food arrived within 10 minutes, the labour cost at £12 per hour works out to around £2. Another dish, Yaki Soba chicken & prawn was again all noodles with very little meat and looking through the reviews I can see customers in 2021 & 2022 complaining about high cost & low meat content. These overpriced dishes are a sign of the cynical attitude & strategy of the owners to maximise profits instead of trying to delight customers with good value - so that they will come back for more in the future. Considering that most customers visiting Cheshire Oaks visit from near & far to get bargains on designer brands, and may not visit that often, the owners strategy appears to be working and I wouldn't be surprised if other restaurants in Cheshire Oaks have the same strategy ! I certainly will not be eating at Wagamama again.

very nice experience from start to finish. Brooke and Sophie looked after us well. Food seemed better than another local Zizzi I have visited and due to location no constant annoying interuptions from Deliveroo, Just Eat etc collections. Good value if you receive one of their offers
