The best restaurants serving Other cuisines food in South East

In a lot of ways, it’s a brilliant cafe, mainly because of its lovely community feel - it feels like a central hub for the community. Unfortunately, there are two major issues that let it down: 1) Extremely long queues and long waits to get served 2) Consistently unfriendly, unengaging, rude staff who ignore any attempts at a greeting or conversation, bark questions and instructions at you, and then ask you to give them a positive rating on the app “so they get paid more.” I don’t know of a cafe with more of a community feel, and at the same time, deeply unfriendly, sometimes quite rude and aggressive staff.

Tried getting in with myself and 7 other friends, the doorman came up with all kinds of excuses not to let us in and were so rude about it.

Aweful service, visited with my sister for a quick lunch, took ages for our sandwiches to arrive, my hot chocolate was cold, plates/dishes left on tables - seemed to be plenty of people milling around in the kitchen, and that’s where they stayed. One person bringing food out, two behind the counter - no co-ordination. Queue to be served was ridiculous. Don’t think I’ll be visiting again.

Absolutely disgusting rock hard fried bread black pudding and to make it worse cold after waiting ages. Coffee machine not working. Avoid and fire the chef.

Staff here are so warm and friendly I go almost every day of the week before I start work and they know my order off by heart and have even spotted me coming and started making it, now that's service for you ❤️ it was also suggested I have the raspberry and almond bake heated absolute game changer love, love, love it

Rude staff, particularly one older female with brown hair. I seemed to be an inconvenience to her from the off when ordering. I asked for the vegan kids pasta as my daughter has a cow's milk allergy. The lady's reaction was "what?" with a disgusted look on her face. I repeated and she just didn't answer me. So I asked if they did it as I had seen it on their menu and she again gave me a disgusted look and said no we don't do that. Another staff member overheard and checked the menu and said that actually yes they do vegan kids pasta. Clearly staff have no idea on the allergens in their menu and this isn't the first time at this cafe that I have asked for dairy free kids food and they have told me nothing is dairy free, which is false. Their yoghurts are dairy free and some crisps and biscuits too. I never do reviews but this honestly worries me that someone with a life threatening allergy may go to this cafe and be given something they can't have. Management should train staff better and whether you have had a bad day or not, don't treat customers like dirt on the bottom of your shoe. If you're in that bad of a mood, ask for a break, or simply find a non customer facing job. The only reason this gets a 2 star is because the staff member that was helpful actually helped me to my table with my food as I had a pram.

We stopped here for coffee and after placing our order we waited ages for it to arrive. 5 minutes after our order arrived we were then told that they were closing in 10 minutes. Not impressed was an understatement. Steer clear of this place if this is the service that is expected.

There are numerous choices of coffee shops in Newbury . This one was convenient so we used it. Should have known better. Coming to the conclusion they're all just terrible . What really annoyed us with the arrogant and nonchalant attitude of the staff, particularly a young man who was slouched against the counter complaining he still had two hours of his shift left. All this while there were barely any clean empty tables available. No more Costas anywhere ever. Terrible value.

The absolute charlatans don't except cash and refused to take cash which is illiegal in England. DOESN'T NOT ACCEPT OUR LEGAL TENDER. Good news though, so many other choices in brighton an hove now you can stroll in somewhere else. This place is a shadow of its former self since Mr Johnson sold up.

Twice we have tried to eat hear in the last month and both times very negative visits. Asked for things on the menu to be told they dont have them or that they are closing soon so not making any more. Poor quality food when we did finally find something they have. Last visit they had just closed at 4.30pm I'm sure they used to be open later. Staff not really bothered about you or quite rude. Shame as it used to be ok here.

It was apparent that this place has had a welcome facelift at some point in the recent past. Unlike previous occasions when it looked tired and scruffy. This time every thing was shiny, spick and span. The display fridges were well stocked. I had turmeric and ginger shots that were available to boost immunity. Service at the desk was efficient and I got my order of Americano coffee with oat milk served promptly. The toilets too were clean. Pure pleasure to have stopped here.

We had a cup of tea and some coffees here - took advantage of the offer where you could have a pasty for GBP1 with the MyWaitrose card.

What a fantastic surprise Billie's is! We absolutely loved our delicious mushroom and avocado hash Pot of tea , salad, water and hash shared between too.1£18! Stunning!

For the second week an absolute shambles ordered fish and chips last week told the lady cooking it would only cook us an all day breakfast as we were to early @ 11:40 this week we delayed our arrival to 1pm and ordered fish and chips and was told they only had an all day breakfast I spoke with the young man on the till whose attitude was at best disconcerted I also pointed out that the male toilets haven’t been open on my visits for the last 3 weeks even whilst I write the lady is telling those in the que they are only doing breakfast the shame is I came back and had told others the fish and chips was good but I won’t be coming back which means working in the care home I do will mean Morrisons will lose about £1000 per month but hey I’m only a customer Tesco here we come 🤮🤮🤮

My husband and I called in for a drink and cake while on a shopping trip . We ordered a tea , a coffee and two cookies . The drinks were served in a paper cup and the two accessory stations in the cafe were out of use meaning that we had to go back to the entrance to get sugar etc . There were no napkins anywhere in sight. The cafe was very sparsely furnished and very uncomfortable. There was one chair in the back section where there should have been four . The cookie which I had chosen was as hard as metal , so much so that I could not bite it . I returned to the serving counter and complained , the assistant agreed that it was not edible and gave a refund . I mentioned that we couldn’t see any napkins and was told that the customer has to ask for one if required. In all this was a very unacceptable experience . We will never return
