Rspb Leighton Moss Cafe

Superb local pies for lunch today. Steak and Ale Radford’s pies were just the job for a warming lunch on a cold day in February. Served by friendly staff in a lovely clean cafe. Plenty of choice, some very tempting cakes which we will have later!

Called in after a long walk for a cold drink. We selected 2 cans of lemonade and took them to the till. We were charged £5 for these which I think is extremely overpriced! The lemonade was nothing special and left a bitter taste in my mouth but that might have been to do with price.

I was there a few days ago when I went to the Reservation. Quite a big upstairs cafe, I was just a couple of minutes late for breakfast so had lunch. My jacket potato with vegan cheese and salad was gorgeous and the bottle of lemonade was too. The staff were brilliant and very polite and friendly. View menu

I 've always thought the food here was great but yesterday 's quiche was tasteless cold and 'lardy '. Served up with an egg cup full of salad and dressing that I didn 't ask for. £9.30 for this and a fruit tea doesn 't feel like value for money. I 'm sure you can do better than this. People don 't mind paying for quality. You need to up your game.

Visited the reserve and cafe twice this month and found the food delicious although a little expensive. Tried both quiches and they were sooo tasty, even cold the cheese tomato one was yummy. I also had the fudge toffee square which I loved. I certainly wouldn't hesitate to return, although if you are on a budget there are plenty of picnic tables if you prefer to take your own food.

A first class service with excellent food and drink in a lovely environment. Patrick the manager is to be commended for his outstanding acheivement in creating a clean and cheerful environment with well above average foods and drinks, all at reasonable prices. He is an asset to Leighton Moss. Thank you to all staff on duty when we called in for lunch before enjoying the Reserve/We look forward to our next visit. View menu

Have eaten here twice recently. Very disappointed both times. Dreadful ciabatta soggy and luke warm. Second time full english breakfast. Mushrooms stone cold sausage terrible, everything else very poor.Best thing was the coffee out of a machine. Pork and apple barm was ridiculous, fat left on the pork and an absolute mountain of apple sauce making it impossible to eat without making a real mess all over the plate. I suggest stop trying to be something that you are not. Good plain soups and sandwiches. And hot breakfasts are not too much to ask for !

Extremely disappointing. First of all we love Leighton moss, this is purely a review for the cafe in the hope that they will improve and match the standard of the reserve. Visited for a quick bite to eat at lunchtime. Poor value for money-rarebit was nearly £8 and consisted of half a ciabatta with cheese and a small spoonful of coleslaw and a few crisps. No salad or greenery. I would be embarrassed to serve this for the price people pay. Other food looked to be of a similar standard. Such a shame as the reserve is a lovely day out, but the cafe isn’t worth visiting in my opinion. Fingers crossed they can improve but we won’t be returning.

I hate to have to write this review as I genuinely love RSPB and Leighton Moss Reserve. Today I ordered a full English breakfast at £9.50, I thought it must be special at that price. When the food arrived I had 1 sausage, 1 bacon, 1 fried egg covered in a crispy skin, 1 hash brown, 1 tomato, beans, mushrooms and 1 toast all of which was cold. I was ravenous after having an early morning start and travelling 1.5 hours to the reserve. The hash brown and tomato was under cooked, the egg overcooked. I did want to take the food back however there was a large queue and a lot of busy staff in the kitchen. Whilst watching the kitchen I could see that food was being reheated in the microwave.
