Lovely food, service and friendly locals! The most delicious chips

Well situated cafe in the market place. Arrived at lunchtime on a sunny day so it was busy and all the tables outside were taken. On entering we received a friendly, smiley welcome and were shown a free table. Later discovered that there was also seating upstairs, so plenty of room. We ordered coffees, a fruit scone and a cheese scone. Everything arrived promptly. The scones were both warmed and tasted delicious, the coffees were good too. Not long to wait to pay our bill at the counter and we left feeling refreshed. We would definitely return.

My husband and I recently celebrated belatedly our Golden Wedding Anniversary with High Tea at Co Coes, Strattons. The High Tea was delicious and very well presented. The ambience of Co Coes was just great for a small gathering and the staff were very attentive and so helpful. All in all it was a lovely memorable occasion.

Fabulous cafe under new ownership and now with excellent food and drinks and reasonably priced. Added bonus is that the staff and service are amazing.

Best fish and chips we’ve had in a very long time. Very good value for money too. Staff were very polite and friendly. Will definitely be going back soon.

This is the third time we’ve stayed at this hotel in recent years and it hasn’t really improved much. The staff were very good, considering the poor quality hotel. The public areas and rooms were dated and below par considering the cost. Travelodge and Premier Inns are far superior The hotel is in need of a complete renovation, being somewhat tired, dark and grubby. The bathroom in our room, 51, was small - no problem with this - but the sink was a cheap plastic affair (similar to that found in an old caravan) which was stained and chipped. All four taps in the bathroom require changing, being old with worn washers. Turn them on and nothing happens until the seal releases and water comes out in an uncontrolled gush. Very difficult to gently control the temperature, scalding to cold with a couple of degrees of turn. Not good for children or the elderly when showering. Although we turned the radiator off in the room and opened the window, the room was too hot. This is because the piping supplying hot central heating water still flows uncontrolled through the pipes supplying the radiator. Food was only average. The Best Western hotel in Shaftesbury, The Chase, was of a similar standard, quite awful, and therefore it seems, a common theme throughout this chain.

Firstly conduct an internal study of where your branch cafe stands against that of your other branches . Up amongst the top 5 ! Wow Pretty impressive considering some of those branches are larger and in more affluent areas , yet a branch in a small market town n Norfolk is giving them a run for the money . Even more surprising in light of said small town already having 10 other eateries offering breakfasts including a Greggs . So what is it we are doing right and what can we do to b@lls it up ? We know we are not the cheapest , in fact apart from one with similar prices we’re the most expensive and yet these pesky customers keep coming to us . So we need to find out why . Right , we now know that our cafeteria staff are hard working , dedicated and friendly . What’s more we are told by their loyal regulars that they create a market street ambience a world apart from the usual faceless , soulless and sterile corporate canteen . Oh my God it’s even worse than what we first thought . It seems that both our front of house and kitchen staff know a big percentage of our customers by name . This is terrible because we can’t do anything about this , how will we ever ruin our cafeteria trade at this rate ? O.k , let’s not panic yet , what other reasons are there for this dreadful scourge of constant unwanted repeat trade ? We know it’s not our pricing mmmmm🤔 EUREKA ! Quality ! we are burdened with an established brand reputation for quality . Well that’s easy to destroy . What’s our most popular breakfast ? Full English you say . Again , far from the cheapest in town but not swimming in grease , beautifully cooked with our own sausages , eggs and so forth and cleanly presented . Yum , yum . Right , get that off the menu for a start . Wait a minute though , our sausages and bacon in a crusty rustic roll are far too popular by half . I’ve got it , let’s replace them with those disgusting little pre made up numbers that you ping in the grotty little plastic bags they come packed in . You know , the ones that look and taste like they’ve been run over by a steam roller or have come out of a skip behind a motorway service station They come out with a chewy texture and a strange uniform non taste , a combination of the sausages which taste like bread to begin with , and the plastic bag a percentage of which leaches into the so called food . Guys give me my bonus now , we can make the sausages half the size of the originals and charge the same price 😁👍 That’s the way to do it 🤮 Unfortunately I can’t separate the star rating to give the caff staff what they deserve which is 5 stars and more besides . Even now they’re professionalism compels them to try and put a spin on it but I suspect they are not happy with the these clueless and ill thought out changes . Many years ago I worked in the food and retail industry and remember a time before accountancy thinking . Those were the days where the industry was customer lead and the supplier would react to their likes and supply them accordingly and still produce a healthy profit . Yet another example of less for more and stuff the consumer .

My mother was having "Care meals" from the White Heart. The abruptly stopped. One phone call two weeks ago to say they were having electric problem and couldn't deliver that night. Nothing delivered the following night. I called the next day and was told they were having supply issues and should be up and running again after the weekend. She has not had a delivery since. Their phone goes unanswered and the building is locked up. Searching on line I have found that the premises are up for sale. Appalling treatment of the elderly and vulnerable. Leaving them high and dry and out of pocket. Where do they go to get money back?

Having been to this eatery before and been delighted this visit was not good, after change of ownership. We tried the menu after the new owners took over and what a huge disappointment. The roast dinner was tepid in temperature. The chicken (small amount) was so dry I needed water to wash it down. The batters were plainly tiny hard shop bought and the parsnip were very hard as if barely or badly cooked. After we had finished what we wanted I had to go to the counter to pay as we had waited so long for them to collect our plates we were not sure if they were going to. Another couple who arrived sent their food back too. I would not recommend.
