    Over all good experience, the food was good (afternoon tea for 2) coffee was nice. Service was friendly throughout our visit, although the venue got busy before we left and there was a noticeable different in service speed, but that’s to be expected! Would visit again

    Fantastic food, but got asked to leave after an hour and 20mins because they needed the table. There were at least 3 other free tables available (at least one of them was for two people so could have easily swapped). Had to leave our coffees and were rushed out. Not the service I expected when we spent £50. Did share this feedback with the waiters and were given a lame excuse of they couldn’t swap around the tables etc. it is normal to give people 2 hours to eat. Unacceptable and puts me off returning despite the delicious food!

    After reading so many reviews we knew we had to try The Little Bakery. 1st our coffees were served after our food, I don’t know if they were short staffed or walk ins to take out are a priority but it shouldn’t happen. Our food was served at different times. Again this shouldn’t happen, my husbands would have been cold if I asked him to wait for mine, it meant he was eating when I wasn’t and vice versa. We went out to have food together not to watch the other eat. Glad we tried it for ourselves but unlikely to make a point of returning.

    Very disappointed, food was burnt and tasteless. Super disappointed had to ask for tap water multiple times and was given our food with no cutlery had to ask for it which is fine but it took a while. I brought my kids but the music was loud and the swearing wasn’t appropriate music choice for a cafe.

    Have visited the little bakery on numerous accounts, always really enjoyed the atmosphere & the lovely food. However on this occasion we were slightly disappointed by the service we received from one particular individual. They were not dressed appropriately, yawned in our faces multiple times, did not greet us or make us feel welcomed and also got our order wrong despite clearly stating what we would like. I’ve visited the cafe when they have been packed full on a busy saturday and have still received great service & food from the rest of the lovely team so it was disappointing on this one occasion to have our experience fully changed by just one individual letting the rest of their team down. This will not stop me returning due to my previous positive experiences outweighing this one, but this may stop new customers coming back if this is the first impression they’re given.

    Very busy Saturday afternoon but the service given by the team was just as pleasant as it always is, despite being two members of staff down! They were packed full but managed it excellently, seeing to everyone with great attention and care. Food was superb as always, did not have to wait long despite how busy it was, great value for money given the location & demand. Always lovely to support a well run family business.
