Enchanted Wood Cafe

"This ⁩⁩cafe has really gone downhill. Food prices have got very high. £2.50 for a small coffee is just silly. Sometimes the cafe is very cold and the heaters are not on. In the back room the doors to rooms where the freezers are often are left open I have just had a meal looking at a mop and bucket in the freezer room with its door open. I tried to shut the door myself; I know why it's always open the catch does not hold the door closed so it just flies open when somebody's been in there. Staff are certainly not as friendly as the used to be. There always seems to be a new person learning the job there.They don't listen to you when you make an order so they often get it wrong. Last time we went they got four things that we asked for wrong. The food, when you eventually get it it, is very nice but the atmosphere has gone downhill since the garden centre took over the cafe once more. Yes the carpet has been cleaned or replaced but the whole atmosphere is dreary. It used to be a nice place to sit down and enjoy your meal and I wonder now whether it's at all worth going. I used to go regularly and have meals there but really now can't afford it and I don't have to put up with the staff not listening when I order things. This is not a grudge review it is an honest review from a person who wishes that this cafe was like it used to be before the garden centre took over running it. They management of the garden centre need to put a lot of effort into making this cafe like it used to be. ⁩ ⁩ ⁩ ⁩ ⁩ ⁩ ⁩ ⁩ ⁩ ⁩ ⁩ ⁩ ⁩ ⁩ ⁩ ⁩ ⁩ ⁩ ⁩ View all The Enchanted Wood 4.0 81 CafeClosed OVERVIEW UPDATES MENU REVIEWS PHOTOS ABOUT Google review summary Reviews aren't verified 5 4 3 2 1 4.0 81 Reviews Allcooked 7 mushrooms 4 price 4 tables 3 Sort by Most relevant Newest Highest Lowest TimG 13 reviews a day ago NEW Dine in Lunch £10–20 This cafe has really gone downhill.
