The best restaurants serving Other cuisines food in England

Lovely porridge, and brilliant friendly service from Darren and Angie (Ann?), made such a difference to our day, what a pleasure a smile and a cheerful welcome make, thank you.

Provided delicious ice-creams and gave us a generous discount when they discovered we were on a day trip for Refugees and Asylum Seekers. We will definitely be using they guys in the future for trips to Frinton.

Ideal cafe for before or after a class/swimming. I have always found the tables etc to be clean. Staff are always pleasant.

Flooring is disgusting in bar Carpets could with a good shampooing Generally not nice experience but lady manager very nice and accommodating

Went for a coffee & a breakfast sandwich. What a disaster. The lady serving us was obviously having a bad day. Her attitude was awful and when she brought over our coffees my husband’s was slopped into the saucer. She just dumped the tray and went to walk off. Had to ask her for milk for the coffee and for something to dry up the saucer. She came back and threw the napkins down and made no offer to clean it up or apologise. When the sandwiches arrived, one bacon, one sausage, we were not impressed for the £6 each that we had paid. The sausage felt it had been cooked about 2 hours earlier - dry and tasteless. My husband did say that the bacon one was ok. This restaurant has always been good and the cakes are great, but I would never go back for the breakfasts again.

Oh this place has gone downhill !! Have been here before meeting family for coffee and browse. This time more things off menu, run out. What they had was cold. Tiny cups of coffee. Garden centre, low stock, plants dead or uncared for. Maybe they are closing down? We won't be back.

Ordered two meals and two hot drinks via a sullen faced female server. After a 20 minute wait on a quiet Tuesday asked for an update. A different sullen faced woman snapped that there was hot food ahead of us. One person ahead of us whose food came out after ours so who knows, everyone else was having cakes and drinks. Chicken BLT sandwich and chips looked good and was ok. My ‘gardeners Platter’ otherwise known as a Ploughman’s wasn’t so good. I slice of poor quality ham, 4 very thinly sliced pieces of almost flavourless cheese, one pickle cut in half, handful of salad,minus advertised watercress and a slice of white bread in place of the advertised chunk of bread. Don’t bother, choose something else. For almost £30 there is better by far in St Anne’s just up the road.

Turned up for lunch at 1:30pm...only to be told they're not taking food orders for another 20 minutes or so! Won't be lunchtime then. Poor.

Really sad to see the demise of this once great centre. Now a self service restaurant and staff who don’t seem to have any customer service skills. The cappuccino lacked lustre and coffee! Peppermint tea had bits in and when returned we were told that these were to be expected as if we’d never seen one before. The Brie bacon and chutney ciabatta was dry with hardly any taste or Brie or chutney!!! The garden centre used to have great displays giving ideas for garden planning. All that’s gone and helpful staff appear to have been replaced with unenthusiastic people. The beautiful hedges have been removed - not sure why as you’re not going to be busy if you keep taking this approach. Really sad to see and I’ll be visiting other more personable centres in the area in future. Steer clear is my advice.

Service getting a lot worse,most of the items on the menu they have on got. Some had some soup today which normally come with bread and butter ,but not today . Enquiry about and got a snappy answer No . Better of going to Ms Donald just across the way. Nicer food and BETTER customer service.

Visisted here today at lunchtime. This café, which is within East Carlton Park, is currently having a refurb done. There was a chap up a ladder painting, within the eating area, while were there. We ordered two cups of tea and two cheese and onion toasties. The cheese and onion toasties were of a high standard and came with a good portion of salad. The staff serving were friendly (there were a handful of staff in the kitchen area). I would have scored this as very good, had it not been for what happened once we had received our food. Very shortly after we had started eating a man came into the café, who didn't order or pay for food (at least not while we were there) but came in to talk to the people in the kitchen area. On entering the café he sneezed directly into his hands and then rubbed them together and then went on to say he had 'man flu'. The decorator made a comment to Mr 'Man Flu' about what he had just done. Mr 'Man Flu' proceeded walk about the cafe coughing and sneezing, close to where we were eating. I am unsure if this was an employee or volunteer or just a frequent visitor who knew the kitchen staff very well. Just a bit surprised that someone would act like this in a café within a Council run park at a time when we are being told to be a lot more hygenic due to what is happening in China.

Worst cup of Costa coffee ever. I ordered cappuccino but when drinking it I realised it was over half froth and hardly any actual coffee, my husband didn't drink his Americano at all as it was so bitter. We used to go to all our local (Devon) Costas quite a bit, but hardly ever go now as they are all going downhill. Tables were filthy too (as they are in all the Costas). Also, coffee served in paper cups even if you are drinking in, instead of them making the effort to do the washing up.

The price of the menu goes up too often. £4.20 for a large cappuccino which is priced a lot more than my usual place in Central London. I think it’s way overpriced for the service, experience and area. Sevenoaks is lovely, but it shouldn’t be more expensive than Central London for a coffee.

Not only we’re the staff very disinterested in any of the customers, the toilet was an utter state I’d give this place zero stars if that had been an option

Not happy. We used the drive through. Had my toasted sandwich missing. Had to go back in. I was on a tight schedule, due to work. Staff member put my order on again and then gave it to someone else..! I could see my toasted sandwich on the side. To top it off I could see my toasted cheese sandwich being eaten by a staff member…..! So I had to ask again. Not acceptable and not one member of staff said sorry…! Service there is terrible. Won’t be using Costa again…!
