"Thank you Lutyens for another excellent lunch. My sister who joined me as my guest had a broken foot and the manager and staff were most accommodating in finding a box to stand it on so it was raised. The Dover sole is always very good but as a beer drinker could they stock Birra Moretti as well as Peroni as the former is much nicer and it's what the Italians drink!"

"I visited the Hilltop Café for a late afternoon meal, especially since many other places were closed. I was really pleased with my experience. I had a delicious cheeseburger served in a soft bun, complemented by pickles, tomatoes, and caramelized onions. My partner ordered the avocado smash, but without the bread, and instead with chips. They created a lovely salad for her, featuring sliced avocado, sun-dried tomatoes, arugula, and chips (though I prefer chunkier chips). The staff was incredibly helpful, and I even received a complimentary soft drink. The tea was a high-quality Earl Grey with milk, which I enjoyed. The tables were adorned with beautiful flowers, and the lovely sunshades created a relaxed atmosphere reminiscent of a tavern in Greece or the Mediterranean. Overall, it was a delightful experience!"

"Perhaps less accessible than the other Grind siblings in town since this one doesn't open in weekends. Although they still manage to have friendly staff to deliver a consistent quality of their signature products, not only the coffee but also the classic-chic interior with a modern hipster twist. However I can imagine how busy it becomes in the mornings during the week. My flat white was one of the best ones in the recent few weeks time, creamy texture, gently punchy taste and subtle but firm aroma. Absolutely worth to check it out when in this side of the town during the week."

"Visited here whilst in Putney on a Friday lunchtime. Very busy at the tills but staff are efficient. Lots more seating in this branch than it first appears. Other than the initial seating you can see there is a big space at the back of the shop behind the tills as well as on another floor. Despite being busy the tables were being kept clean which is great. Various new flavour wraps and sandwiches on offer in November in preparation for Xmas. I had a new falafel and avocado wrap with chipotle sauce which was good. Really like their seltzers. They are quite bitter so maybe not everyone’s choice but I think they are great as no sugar and great taste. The spelt and oat cookies were lovely."

"Went for a brunch meeting and the food was nice but the service wasn't great. Had to ask to order second round of drinks, then ask again when they hadn't appeared. Had to ask twice for the bill and despite lots of staff being around getting attention was quite hard. Good location and might go back for food but not when in a hurry."

"Went into the Broadmead Bristol Pret yesterday with a friend. We picked up our sandwiches, crisps and a drink each and placed them on the counter. We were totally ignored while 3 staff members stood behind the counter, one was working the coffee machine, the other two I'm not sure what they were doing. They did not say a word, then a lady walks in to the place, walks right up beside us and she is asked what she would like! Unforgivable in a customer service environment. The server who totally ignored us was taller, dark hair tied back and spoke with a foreign accent. We left our food on the counter top and walked out. Went to Cafe Amore across the street now they have the best customer service and cheaper food so we will go to there from now on."

"Kindred is a private members club that hosts regular live music nights. We visited on a Friday evening and enjoyed the fantastic music provided by the Jessie Waddilove Band. The venue is split into two sections - a restaurant open to all downstairs, and a members-only restaurant and bar upstairs where the events take place. The menu at both locations offers high-quality, affordable meals, and the drinks, especially the cocktails, are excellent. The staff are friendly and attentive, providing great service. The band played a wide range of music from the 50s to today, showcasing their energy and versatility. It was a brilliant night overall."

"This restaurant is a nice spot for a quick snack. It could use more seating. The coffee was excellent and the sandwiches and pastries were delicious. The atmosphere was pleasant and the baked goods were tasty. I appreciate the option to bring your own cup and receive a discount on your hot drink."

"I absolutely love the fact that they serve breakfast all day! I honestly wish more places would do this. I always eat breakfast at different times. Sometimes you feel like eggs or porridge in the afternoon. Good on them! It was quiet on a Tuesday late afternoon early evening. Very hot day. As per most branches, wooden country cottage feel interior. For me, LPQ have always been hit and miss with any branch you visit, be it food quality, service or cleanliness. Branch was clean. Staff were really pleasant and friendly and service was fast (I am guessing this was because they were quiet). Good menu from all day breakfast to tartines, salads, breads, soups, juices, pastries, desserts and more. Vegan's are well catered for. I had the scrambled eggs on toast with roasted portobello mushrooms and a fresh orange juice. The breakfast came with two big slices of toasted bread and a side of butter. The portion size was big which justifies the price. Not cheap at all! Well presented and freshly made. Yes, I could have made this at home. Nothing out of the ordinary but nice. As I said staff were nice and happy for me to use the free wifi and do some work at the same time. I don't often frequent this branch but came by a few months ago as well when were in lockdown C-19 pandemic and got the spinach and pine nut swirl take away which was also good. Filling and tasty and not greasy. They even threw in free chocolates as it was near Easter. Let's be honest, LPQ do well on plain and simple home comforts. Nothing out of the ordinary. Branches have a nice atmosphere and staff are pleasant most of the time. Food and cleanliness are hit and miss."

"A chain with some character, Le Pain serves up great coffee and authentic French sweets and pastries and a mean brunch/breakfast option. I've stopped at Le Pain for coffee and croissants in the past, both of which are excellent at reasonable prices and accompanied by free wifi should you be interested. The real winner here though is the breakfast boards; there are a number to choose from but as an example you can opt for The Angler which arrives on a large wooden board and includes a boiled egg a very generous serving of smoked salmon with capers a wedge of baguette two slices of soft bread fresh cream cheese choice of croissant/pain au chocolat/pastry selection of jams choice of hot drink fresh orange juice granola parfait At just under 16 pounds this is a late breakfast option that will satisfy even the hungriest customer. It gets quite busy though, so don't expect much attention from the servers and you'll inevitably end up a few pieces of cutlery short. If you don't mind that it's worth a visit, and if suggest sharing a few boards between you as one per person is really far too much food!"

"Bad communication from dismissive staff, despite poorly made drinks. On arrival, a waitor stopped the pair in front of us like a bouncer, told them to return to the queue in a shooing tone, only for the maitre d 'hotel to sit them down where they were about to sit anyway. Wherever the adminastative need is here, it is coming with inefficiency and rudeness to a pair of people who were waiting for a couple of minutes prior for no good reason, so to sit in a quiet cafe. Food and drinks were ordered exclusively online, through a slow web app my vodaphone signal struggled. £5.50 for an Iced Matcha Late. I ordered regular dairy as I 'm a cheap git, despite my preference for coconut, and was made to suffer under the waitor 's misunderstanding. I was brought fresh milk, which was clearly less fresh than anticipated as it leant an unforgivable sourness and chunkiness to the drink. The maitre d did not allow me to conclude my request that the milk seems a bit off before dimissing it and dashing off I really should have been offered a replacement, or ideally a refund based on my partner 's drink. Said partner got an iced chai, apparently sub par to the sam drink at Gails and (apparently) Starbucks. Nice ambiance, indeed ruining the experience for me. I think people know about this place from instagram, so it 's just groomed, vain 20 somethings, couples and mother daughter pairs, and unfortunately the former were the most present."

"Wandering around Soho we walked by Le Pain and decided to give it a try looks nice from the outside with all these bread put forward on display. Ordered some house Chardonney with olives to start with and then Pizzetta, Organic Lentil Avocado Salad and Prosciutto with Mozzarella on toast. All really good. House wine excellent for house wine category, olives with some spicy flavour, salad was fairly reach (variety of veggies inside), ham was tasty and only pizzetta could have been, perhaps, a bit warmer... Staff really nice and knowledgable about the menu, their advice should be highly appreciated. They're good. Overall recommended, really. Would have been 5 if it wasn't for this...read more"

"We discovered this wonderful restaurant slightly off the main path in Colchester, just a 5-minute walk from the castle. After exploring the castle for a few hours (highly recommended with a guide), we decided to stop by and were pleasantly surprised. The staff greeted us warmly, the coffee lived up to its promise of being the best, and the muffins were absolutely delicious. If we ever find ourselves in Colchester again, we will definitely be returning to this lovely spot!"

"on entrance its so grand, it appears to be quite posh but its just a wonderful environment to enjoy great food and cake! we had an afternoon tea for two. The food was delicious. so well presented and appetising . we had some lovely strong tea. option to have two pots of tea or have a pot of tea and pot with hot water to dilute etc. the cakes are very well presented and look delicious! id love to try them all! Assistant manager could not be more helpful, kind and approachable. We had a nice little chat about the caffe and her role. We spoke about the food options and why we travelled so far for a nice treat with them. We felt really at ease. i was shocked at the small toilet thats quite dated and untidy. there are a couple of new members of staff that obviously have no experience and quite young so can be a little irritating dropping cutlery, shouting across the room, dismissive attitude, not much customer service going on etc but hopefully these people will learn on the job and soon be super staff members just like the assistant managers techniques! we will be visiting again!"

"The food was great and we loved the taste of the Masala chai tea. However, it took over 30 minutes before our order was taken and other 30 minutes before our afternoon tea was served for us two. Other places Where I’ve had Afternoon tea, it has been served in less than 15 minutes since the variety is usually assembled of the selection of that day."

"We called ahead yesterday after enjoying a drink, and ended our meal with the delicious bread and butter pudding with custard. My friends had the cheesecake with a unique twist, the scallops, and the lamb kebab. We also discovered the Moroccan mint tea with rose, which is a must-try. The staff was very attentive and friendly. We will definitely be returning for our next visit to London."
