This afternoon we took some of our lady residents to the Raspberry Cafe. It was the first time we have taken residents there. We had fast & very friendly service, in fact the staff could not have done better – they bent over backwards to help. The food was lovely, it was enjoyed by all of us. Also nicely presented. Very soon after arriving we were served our food & drink – yummy. Some of our ladies also bought scones to take home. We were impressed with the containers the scones were put in. Our ladies enjoyed a lovely afternoon, we will be back with another load of residents sometime in the future. Thank you Raspberry Cafe.

Excellent service and vey friendly staff. Food very good – had the custom three cuts of meat on the stone grill. Great idea. Only complaint – the tables are too small when there are four of you sitting around one table and there are three stone grills on the go! Would definately recommend and go again.

Although the food at the Raspberry Cafe is fairly good, twice now we have been let down with such slack service that we will not bother again. We had to ask for service after finally being seated (our table was not vacated by the time of our booking – probably they also had slooooooow service), then waited ages for our order to be taken. Our food (nothing strenuous, open sandwiches and the like) took 45 minutes to arrive, plates waited on the table for a long time after also. We had to go inside to ask for drinks as no one bothered to ask us if we wanted any. When we asked to see the dessert menu, the waitress put the chalkboard in front of us, another customer asked if her could take the board and she said yes! When she *finally* returned to take our order we said that she let the menu be taken away so we needed to see it again, she was not amused and tutted. NOT great customer service. My dessert (meringue with strawberries) was simple but delicious – however was let down by a rather large insect being baked on the surface of the meringue. The top surface. How none of their staff/cooks noticed this is beyond me. No one came to collect our dishes, or give us a bill. We could have just walked out and I doubt anyone would have stopped us! One of us went to pay the bill (at 12.30 booking, we ended up paying after 3pm) and mentioned the insect issue, we were not charged for the dessert thankfully. In summary – 7.5/10 for food, 2/10 for service. We gave them a second chance, but we won’t be giving them a third.

We held our Mum’s 70th birthday in April 2012 at The Raspberry Cafe in the marquee, which was great because some of the side-flaps could be opened to allow fresh air to come in while we enjoyed the lovely sunshine. The staff were fantastic, e-mailing us a menu in advance on request, dealing with change in numbers, and on the day accommodating some late arrivals in a professional and friendly manner. When my nephew dropped a bottle of drink on the floor, they had someone to clean it up right away. The food was absolutely scrumptious, and the meals for the 20-odd guests were served close together (we did book in advance). The staff were very friendly and nothing was a problem. Thank you to The Raspberry Cafe for making my Mum’s birthday such a special day!
