"Terrible experience, was seated and we ordered 2 pints budwieser only to be told there 's no draught beer only bottles £5.10 a bottle £10.20 a pint basically) so we had 1 bottle each after waiting 15 minutes to get said bottle. Lady and child next table was shouting to waiter When will our food be coming please ? I went on the £12.90 2 courses menu) I ordered garlic pizza bread and pepperoni pizza but was charged £3.00 and £12.40 respectively...mmmmhh supposed to be £12.90 !!! All in Garlic bread was solid and tasteless, never seen garlic at all. Pizza ...probably the worst I 've ever had and I 've buried a few in my time, no cheese , no moisture, no taste, I had to ask for parmesan to put a glimmer of cheese on it . Total rip off ! I actually left with a horrible taste in my mouth. Wife ordered lasagne was OK but had carrots in it ???? She was a head chef for one of Holts brewery mainstream pubs for 10 years...never seen carrots in lasagne? Overall it was a bad experience, wish I 'd never gone in and left feeling ripped off despite the bill being reasonable Someone needs to tell the 2nd chef to put their phone down too , people waiting for food !!! Never got asked if our meal was OK ? Never got asked if we wanted another drink even though I 'd drank my little bottle before the starter arrived. Bad experience all round , won 't be going again in a hurry Happy New year"

"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."

"We arrived for a family birthday and were seated and had a drinks order taken. Myself and another one of the party ordered a blackberry gin with lemonade, the waitress then came back to inform us that they had no blackberry gin left so offered us black cherry which we were happy to have, they were then brought to us for us to discover they had used tonic as the mixer instead of lemonade, annoying but not worth making a fuss. We then ordered food, with one of the party being vegan, she opted for the vegan nachos to start and the vegan Cajun burger. The waitress then came back to inform us that there was no vegan cheese so would she want it without which she accepted. Our starters came after a wait but were enjoyable, we then had our mains which were a completely different story. Our veggie Cajun burgers were black and burnt, had dry buns and had very hard chunks throughout inedible. There was also no vegan slaw as listed and the portion size of the chips was poor. We didn’t get a table check and had to grab the attention of a waiter to inform him that we weren’t able to eat them, he was polite and apologetic and took them back to the kitchen but we weren’t offered anything else to eat. Another member of the party had the breakfast burger with the most rubbery fried egg, definitely left and reheated. As he made it to the kitchen we overheard the waitresses asking him if we wanted desserts repeatedly, feeling very much like they wanted us gone ASAP as they were all focused on cleaning up instead of attending to tables. When they brought us the desert menu we all found something we’d like, but again no one checked on us for a good 15 20 minutes, by which point we just wanted to go. Strange considering how eager they sounded to get us out of the door. We asked for the bill, with the Cajun burgers thankfully taken off, but still an expensive meal considering the poor experience. Incredibly dissatisfied with both the food and the service and we will definitely not be returning."
