The best restaurants serving Default food in Melton Rushcliffe East Midlands

Don't know if there's been a change of landlord but nowhere near as enjoyable as last visit, prices have increased somewhat & service was slow, asked continuously to repeat our order?

Egg fried rice was like packet rice sweat sour chicken no flavour at all and chewey and exspensive

Visited today (a Saturday) for coffee and cake with a friend. The cafe was almost empty with 2 staff working, yet it took forever for drinks to arrive. We asked for a menu and the waitress practically threw it at us. My friend ordered a fruit tea and asked that the water not be boiling hot, but she was told that the water came as it came (adding a bit of cold water before adding hot water would have sufficed). The server was quite sharp and blunt, we weren’t happy, so we left and spent our money somewhere else.

Have been a regular visitor to Moore's garden centre and Gilmores cafe for several years. Recently the quality and overall presentation of the food served at the cafe has sadly deteriorated. Ordered two poached eggs and mushrooms on toast yesterday (19.05.2024) and a sausage and egg cob. The food arrived and the mushrooms weren't on the toast, they were on the plate with the cob and a tiny portion. 8 pieces of sliced mushrooms which were cold. Poached eggs were very undercooked, the egg white barely cooked resulting in a soggy horrible mess on the toast. It was inedible as the eggs were raw. There were several breakfast orders being delivered to the wrong tables despite the tables having numbers on them. Overall it was a shambles. Used to be so well managed and the food piping hot and presented well but not anymore. Worst breakfast I have ever had. Cooking eggs correctly is basic food hygiene. The new menu may look appealing, whoever is doing the cooking isn't doing a very good job. Had the eggs benedict a few weeks ago and that wasn't great either. They need to visit Matlock garden centre, breakfast is superb, piping hot and presentation is very good. What has happened to the good old days of piping hot food, omelettes presented with lovely salad etc.

NOT recommended. If you are happy to wait for your food for Two and half hours, then have a go. ------------------------ We ordered a takeaway even before busy time - about 4pm. But It arrived in an hour, and got a call from the shop they said it's 'the wrong order' don't accept it and do re-order with extra treat. So we had to reorder and still wait for another hour and more. Ruined all saturday evening schedule. Without any foods for OVER TWO HOURS ???? I understand some mistakes always happen, but They should do the reorder delivery ASAP, not another hour. Do I ask too much ? + extra treat for 2 and half hours waiting was a side of dumpling. It is much better to receive my food on time without it.

We thought we'd have a change from Domino's so chose Papa John's West Bridgford. Food was not as good as it used to be years ago and they forgot the drink. I called up to tell them about the drink, some kid answered, couldn't find my details so I asked her to call me back when she had. An hour later, nothing, no call , so I rang back, a man answered and sent the drink round. Overall poor service, badly organised and not the same quality it used to be. We ordered on a Sunday night if that helps. Won't be ordering here ever again unless I hear it's under new management and had a shake up.
