A lovely cafe! We hosted my sister’s baby shower here and the food was delicious - we had the afternoon tea! Such a gorgeous interior that we really didn’t need to decorate much, lovely staff too. Highly recommend!
Went for the tapas evening and was very impressed. The ambience was amazing - you wouldn’t think you were in the middle of Frampton Cotterell! The food and service excellent. Perfect for a date night, celebration meal or a catch up with friends. Do yourself a favour and go to the next one.
Took my Grandchildren here for lunch on a Saturday. We found a large table inside and grabbed some menus from the counter, then we went up to order. It took ages before the first Cup of Tea came. Then a Coffee and finally the second cup of Tea. The tea was fine but the Coffee was cold. Then we waited. Eventually my Daughter returned to the counter and asked how long the food would be as the children were now becoming restless. Shortly after the kids meals arrived. There was half a sandwich, a small piece of Chocolate cake, some rather bitter Strawberries, a few juicy Raspberries, a hand full of Cheese balls, slices of Cucumber and some rather tasteless baby Tomatoes. This selection had at least one or two things the kids would eat but there were a few bits the kids didn't touch. My Daughter ordered a Mozzarella, Pesto and Tomato Panini with side salad and Slaw.(£7.95). My wife ordered a Tea Cake With Jam (£3.00) but when it came it had Margarine instead of Butter, No Jam and it was I'm afraid Cold. Her cup of Tea was long gone by the time the Tea cake arrived. Then the Breakfast arrived. The server apologised for the delay and we were then visited by some one from the Kitchen who asked if we had been offered complimentary drinks? Presumably this was in compensation for the delay. However, we never got any complimentary drinks and they didn't knock the drinks off the final bill. The breakfast was very good, good quality produce, well cooked and reasonably well presented, but alas, it too was only Luke warm and the pot of Beans was actually cold. The knob of butter which had been put on top of the Toast had melted by the time it got to me. It would appear they are victims of their own success. Despite there being a lot of staff on duty they didn't seem to be organised and the Kitchen didn't seem able to cope with the demand, which is a pity as the food would have been good if it had been hot and served in a reasonable time. It was just way too late and cold. And if you offer customers a complimentary drink, you really should deliver. I have looked at other reviews and most people seem very pleased with their visit. I can only think this was an 'Off Day' and things will improve. Sadly we won't be going back.
Cannot recommend highly enough - I organised a baby shower here for my friend and it was the perfect place. Lovely decor, friendly staff, yummy food - couldn’t ask for much more! They also offer a fab light up ‘BABY’ sign which added a great backdrop for photos. Will definitely be returning and would recommend for any small event.
We came here as a large group and were quickly seated around a grand table in the window. The coffee went down a treat and the huge food portions soon filled empty stomachs. Tasty-looking pastries and cakes were available as well. Outside parking made it a breeze to stop off here and it was nice to see so many dogs popping in with their owners. An ideal spot for a lovely start to the weekend.
Enquired about a last minute salted caramel brownie stack for a 30th Birthday with 6 days notice. Magnolia Mews produced the most delicious and well presented brownies - everybody loved them. Gluten and nut free also!
Apologies for today's brevity! This shop has tasty food, indie and outdoor seating, and charming wait staff. My SO and our niece seen quite taken by the place. The accompanying image is a bit more nibbled-upon than my usual, as they couldn't resist digging-in before I could snap the photo. I think my favorite dish is the lemon cake. It's not overly lemony, while being definitely lemony (+1 for balance). I particularly enjoyed its texture. TBH, I even like the very natural looking sugar cubes. ;-)
Came in today to check out the place since it became Magnolia Mews. The coffee was really well made - a lot of places make them too hot and burn the milk, but these guys have trained their staff well, it was the perfect latte. I had a slice of Victoria sponge which was yummy and these cute cupcakes which were delightful. They have some interesting old photos of the village in the space which was light and airy and had a good atmosphere. This will be my go-to spot now!
