"Visited Blenheim Palace twice this month and disappointed on both occasions by Terrace Cafe staff. Rude and extremely grumpy towards me and my daughter. We took our own empty travel mugs and asked for two teas. They advertised ‘Free Soya milk’, on the board, but on both occasions, staff shrugged their shoulders and said they didn’t do Soya milk. The lady making our drinks, was extremely rude, blatantly huffing and puffing at us. Young lad on the till was equally unhelpful, when we pointed out that the wrong labels had been placed by the wrong cakes. Later, we asked if we could have some plain tap water in our cups, and they were filled with warm water! £4.50 for a slice of cake!! Would be happy to pay this, if staff in the cafe were courteous and cheerful."

I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant. The service was top-notch and the staff were extremely friendly. I would definitely come back again. It was lovely.

Worst coffee did I actually have any in the cup of water ? from a machine served in a paper cup and super-priced cake, unappetising looking mince pies and overpriced scones etc.

Inside and outside seating, serve yourself cafe, usual cakes and light lunches, very pleasant to sit a while especially on the garden terrace. Gets very busy at lunchtime, so avoid then if possible. View menu

After a wonderful walk in the autumn sun, we decided to indulge in some tea and cake. The restaurant had a fantastic variety of cakes at affordable prices. It was the perfect way to end a lovely afternoon.

I had a quick seat and a hot drink outside on the terrace at the back of the palace. The serving area is small, a caravan tucked in the corner with limited facilities because of Covid. There are seats with umbrellas offering nice views of the fountains and gardens. It's a pleasant spot.

Went in for a quick lunch and service was quite quick, albeit very rude. The vegetables and potatoes were excellent, the steak pie quite good as well. But the brownie was dry and the scone was inedible; I could have broken a window with it. At the till, I told the young man that I was not going to be taking it, as I had to work to break it apart. He first accused me of taking a bit out of it, right there in the line, and then snottily said it 's a scone, it 's supposed to do that . Actually, it 's not. Prices were also a bit high for what you got. National Trust cafes do it much better. View menu

Had a lovely meal here for lunch with the family. The view of the fountains and the general airy and bright decor of the rooms really makes it an enjoyable meal, plus the 'serve yourself ' style of the cafe. I had the soup of the day-the lentils were a little heavy for a summer day but still very delicious, alongside a baguette, house salad and homemade scones that were hearty and filled with condiments! My parents had the fish which was well seasoned and a large serving. Obviously the prices here are quite expensive but for what we got and the view in the background I think it was most definitely worth it!

We visited this cafe on Sunday, 20 September 2020. I bought a chicken Caesar salad baguette, which quite frankly was awful as there it was virtually all bread with no filling. We had paid £4.65 for this and at this price one would expect better quality. I took the baguette back to the till area where one of the young ladies who was serving was very apologetic and understanding. I was directed towards the serving area where I was served by what I'd describe as a rather rude, abrupt and surly young man. The baguette was exchanged for a cheese and onion pasty, which to be fair was delicious. Blenheim Palace is one of this nations important properties and should be remembered for the right reaso...
