The Blue Rooms Cafe

The Blue Rooms has a fantastic new look after its recent refurbishment, looking very modern and upscale.

Disappointed with teacakes we ordered, first was burnt, got a second which was OK but very overpriced, no jam. Had cheaper in central London

I have lived in the area for many years but somehow have never visited this cafe. Well that’s going to change going forward. A wide ranging menu, lovely food and friendly staff at reasonable prices. Will definitely be returning soon!

The food is not too salty and tastes goodMost British restaurants are overly salty! But the quality and service here are really good and memorable. After enjoying the gourmet coffee, you can also go to the gardening shop at the back to garden, which is great fun!

Don't know what 1 star was on about admit service was bit slow but hay chill out if you want fast food go to drive thru meals were very good staff good bit of a faulty towers feel head honcho had non sucking up vibe and debbie was a genuine sort not in a sickening subservient have a nice day what with garden centre an olds paradise

I had a wonderful breakfast at this restaurant. The food arrived hot and I particularly enjoyed the garlic and thyme mushrooms on sourdough toast - I would definitely recommend it. My husband tried the vegan breakfast instead of the typical full English and found it to be a lighter way to start the day. Overall, it was a great experience.

Have visited a few times and it’s very deserving of the excellent reviews. It’s a good idea to book, my latest visit being spur of the moment but a lovely member of staff was able to find me a table. The team are so friendly and service was good. The menu is wide ranging, my father had the breakfast and commented how good the sausage was. I had asparagus with poached eggs, also excellent. Reasonable prices for quality meals. Fab!

Today's lunch was just okay. I ordered prawns in a jacket potato, but the potatoes were not cooked through and the prawns were bland with minimal sauce. The dish came with only two small lettuce leaves and half of a cherry tomato. I would have complained, but my partner's meal was fine and we had to pick up our grandson from school after waiting for our food for half an hour, which the restaurant did inform us about. Also, the staff seemed unhappy overall, except for the cheerful waitress who brought us our drinks.

I am not in the habit of writing bad reviews but approaching the manager, in person, and by then by email elicited a dismissive response in the first instance and no response at all in the second. Food was fine, the cafe, it 's garden centre and parking area were all well maintained and very pleasant, prices were fine, serving were helpful and efficient but beware of going with a group on a cold or wet day. Our big group table was in the heated conservatory area at the front of the cafe. That was ok for those seated at the far end of out table, away from the wide open entrance door to the outside, and those sitting under a heater, but I was near the door and was freezing throughout, even in...
