The Golden Boat Chinese Takeaway

Visited with my wife...lovely little cafe run by a very friendly couple and their excellent staff...ordered two burgers with all the trimmings, very nice indeed, also had 2 coffees, all served with a smile...thanks

Ordered coffee, waited approximately 20 minutes, staff talked about ex staff member or owner, had a time limited so enquired were coffee was !!! Coffee made in front of us and not charged full price, but sadly not a place to return to

Called in for a snack, staff very welcoming and the place was clean. Decent menu selection at decent price. Service was good and tables were cleared. Food was very nice not to hot just right. Pretty central and close to main car park.Notice behind counter staff regularly washing hands esspecialy after handling money, it was good too see.Clean toilets, bit odd how you get there but it works.

Having read some of the negative reviews of this place, you really need to take them for the sanctimonious tosh they are. Honestly, people who write one or two reviews oozing with disdain such as the one complaining of a lack of demerera sugar should be ignored. This is a good standard cafe with nice surroundings and a decent breakfast. I was concerned when I noticed the sausage and bacon being taken from warming pans but they were quality meat and piping hot. Toast was a little underdone but the nice people gave me a parking disc and pointed out that I’d dropped cash on the floor as I left. Nice place.

Called in for a quick lunch. I always try to support small businesses trying to find one open on a busy Sunday afternoon in Penrith was hard. Ordered tea and soup, the girl behind the counter is in the wrong job she was surly and unpleasant. Our soup arrived cold and we returned it to request a few more minutes in the microwave it came back to the table ok, but not really hot enough. As previous comments the toilets are accessed through the kitchen.. surely a no no? The place looked dark and grubby inside the display counters were hard to see through. So much potential but sadly not really seen on our visit today.

Decor looks like they’ve made an effort but that’s as far as the effort goes. The kids menu is not current so after making a choice, they were told they couldn’t have it. Staff were in abundance but none seemed particularly interested. Soup was nice however, accompanying bread was dry and hard. Coffee was insipid and not recognisable as coffee. Children’s meals weren’t served and we had to collect from the counter. When we asked if it was our food sitting there, there was no apology for lack of service. We try when possible to use independent coffee shops but this is an almighty fail. Why you would have to walk through a kitchen to access a toilet is beyond my comprehension. View menu

Visited with the family. Had 2 burgers, it's a build your own style a choice of toppings cheeses and sauces. Then served with lovely fries and the best and I mean the best onion rings I've had. Burgers locally sourced and tastes very fresh and of a very high standard. Wife had the vege option and was equally impiressed. Little one had sausages and beans. Sausages were very good and would be excellent on a cooked breakfast. The food was served quick enough that you know it's fresh and was piping hot. Toilet was clean, just strange it have to go via the corner of the kitchen but but not a problem at all. Staff really friendly and polite. We left with full tummys and smiles all round would reco...

The first thing you are aware of when you enter this café is the overwhelming smell of burnt oil! We nearly walked out but the décor is lovely and it looked welcoming. We ordered at the counter two coffees, and sandwich and a baguette. The coffees were good but it was spoilt by the fact that there was no brown sugar.The sandwich was tasty but with a very meagre filling. The baguette when it came was I think a brioche not a baguette. I had ordered bacon brie and cranberry. Maybe it is me but I have always been served a warm baguette or at least warm bacon with brie but it was stone cold a slice of cold fatty bacon, in a cold stodgy brioche. The brie was nice and the garnish that was served wi...

Dropped into The Hideout whilst on a few days away in The Lake District, there were four of us and we fancied a quick cuppa but unfortunately there was nothing timely about this place. We chose a table and sat down, previous customers dirty cups still on the table we sat at did not get cleared away.Two lads working behind the counter, two customers already in, one lad working there was busy rushing around not getting much accomplished, the other was busying himself with some Tupperware boxes, even though no customers were being served anything from them. After about twenty five minutes the first of our 2 coffees arrived, the kids were still waiting for their milkshakes which were sitting hal... View menu
