"We arrived bank holiday Monday at 13.10. There were some free tables outside (dirty) and it was clear that the staff had had a very busy morning. The outside area was really pretty and I really liked the feel of the space. There were dog water bowls and a box of dog treats and all the guests seemed to be very happy. We sat down before going inside to ask for a menu. I was instructed that they were not serving lunch only breakfast. Fair enough. I ordered inside a few minutes later. This was slightly painful with a member of staff calling out for a colleague to assist him as he was busy. Again, fair enough. After sitting back down, the same member of staff came over a few minutes later to tell me that they were no longer serving food. I commented that he had just charged me £29 for food. I was slightly baffled as he hadn’t told me this a few minutes before. He apologised to me and asked me if I had paid to which I replied yes. He then moved over to another table and told them that they were out of key ingredients for food and so couldn’t serve them. I appreciate it must’ve been a busier day than anticipated so they were running out of food perhaps? More people sat themselves down outside. Got menus. Got comfortable. Went inside to order and then were disappointed to be told that the venue was not serving food after 13.30. I would have personally liked to see a member of staff approaching these potential customers rather than allowing them sit and settle. It also baffled me that a venue that regularly serves lunch and is open some evenings would close on a potentially busy bank holiday with lots of foot fall. But I’m sure they have their valid reasons. However, I believe we saw at least 5 groups be turned away in 30 minutes. It was especially awkward when said groups would stare at us and another table eating! Our food arrived. In fairness it was delicious. We both ordered the full breakfasts. The sausages and bacon were great quality and the toasted sourdough was incredible. The beans could have used a little less time in the microwave or some water as they were dried out but no complaints. I was very impressed. No napkins were put down with the food so we had to go inside to ask for these but I believe the staff were getting ready to close. By the end of our experience there was only one table left inside. After they had left and our plates had been cleared I heard the front door slam and looked up to see it closed. I couldn’t help but giggle at this not to subtle sign of closure which did kind of sum up my experience. Overall the food was very tasty and the feel of the restaurant is lovely but I did feel slightly uncomfortable. This would not stop me from visiting again if I was ever in the area."

Great food and well presented only criticism is that they do NOT serve semi skimmed milk only Full Fat or Fully Skimmed.

Checked the website before driving there, says open until 3pm on Mondays. Arrived at 1.20pm to be told they don’t serve lunch after 1pm. Absolutely ludicrous! Who does that? So we left and won’t be back.

What a fantastic place. Such a warm friendly place.lovely staff, the coffee and food are both excellent. I am local and have only just started using this little restaurant/coffee shop, and have discovered that I have really been missing out . Cannot recommend highly enough only open daytime.

Been here a few times but really gone downhill, was served by a young guy who had no knowledge of basic hygiene- kept playing with his hair all over the cakes. Portion size was very small overcooked eggs. But the worse thing was the awful smell in the whole place maybe more ventilation required.

I arrived in E.P. on a brisk walk and wanted to grab a bite to eat and a cup of tea. It was just after 2:00pm. However, when I walked into the cafe, I was greeted with the announcement that the kitchen was closed and they were not serving food. It was a disappointing welcome, so I said nothing and left to continue on my way. No food, no motivation to stay! Visualizza piatti

Nice place but not that friendly. Arrives just after 2pm and told immediately’we don’t do food after 2’ well this was ok as we only wanted a cup of tea. At 2.30 they started to put chairs up on tables and then we were ‘reminded’ that they were shut at 3pm well yes we knew that. At 2.45 again we were reminded they shut at 3 and were still busying around generally making us feel uncomfortable. Don’t think they should be pushing their customers out either they are open until 3 or not….

Appalling customer service and a total lack of respect for the customers! I phoned G&G 13.20 to ensure they were open and still serving food. I was categorically told that if I placed my order by 13.45 we would be served. We arrived approximately 5 minutes later to be told the kitchen had closed. There was no shortage of food or staff, I made the point that I had been promised to be served but no explanation was given. I asked to speak to the manager who, again, couldn’t explain why they had broken their commitment to me. I asked what was the problem/constraint? The ‘manager’ merely said “ there is no need to be rude “ . I asked to clarify how she could accuse me of being rude? She couldn’t...

"Went with my partner who’d been here a good few years before and had fond memories of it. It’s changed! I was told on the phone it was advisable to book, I have no idea why as it was practically empty. We were pretty much ignored when we got there by an older woman behind the bar but hoped it would get better. The elderly woman on another table went off to find her own pepper so I should’ve known then. We ordered drinks and one pint of flat coke later we asked to send it back, I was told it was indeed real Coke by the sullen looking waitress wearing cycling shorts. She then admitted it wasn’t real Coke and did he want a bottle of that. We were waiting so long for our food that dirty glasses were accumulating on the table and at one point we put them up on the window sill. Then noticed a dirty big stain on the table cloth and a candle holder with old wax in but no candle left there on the table. We asked how much longer the food was going to be as we both had work in the morning and it turned upafter 60 minutes and I wish we’d have left 20 minutes earlier when we’d thought of doing so. When it came it was a shock to see the £27 sirloin steak. Over priced and average at best. We had to ask the waitress ‘can you please take all these dirty glasses while we eat?’ The meal was already ruined and our evening out spoiled not by the food but by the shoddy way we were treated from start to finish. Even the lemon had to be sent back! No juice, fell away from the skin into mush so god knows how long that’d been there. Apparently she needed to tell the chef but brought back more of the same. We had to quibble the bill afterwards as the pint of flat cola syrup sent back was still on there. The manageress or whatever her job title is should be embarrassed at how customers are treated but unfortunately it was obvious she didn’t care and no apology given and she treated us exactly the same. If o was on my own I wouldn’t have paid so they’re lucky we did. It was one thing after another. We came home feeling like we’d been taken advantage of and I wish I’d said more at the time. I don’t usually leave bad reviews, I chalk it up to experience and move on so you can imagine how bad it was. If you like fawlty towers you may enjoy this farce but we’ll put this down to one place we’ll never go back to and will NEVER recommend. Joke of a place. What a shame."
