"I was very disappointed with the changes at this cafe. My previous visit before Covid was amazing, with a wide variety of lunch options and healthy choices. However, post Covid, they only offered soup, pastries, and cake for lunch. There was nothing special about their menu compared to other cafes that offer similar items. The only standout feature was the beautiful building and its connection to the Cathedral. When I asked about the change, I was informed that another company had taken over the contract. It's a shame to see such a decline in quality."

I love coming here to escape the hustle and bustle of City cafes. The food is always great, the soups and scones especially so.

We stopped by this cafe for a coffee break after visiting the cathedral. The cafe is located in a charming building next to the cathedral walls. We had two flat white coffees, which came to £6.40.

Great bread source food we’re used to in a beautiful and bright environment. Not as much choice as usual bread source stores- would like more sandwich options. Also not always able to get seating in busy times

What a brilliant cafe. Accessible for all with a small lift and just lovely modern architecture. The place was spotless, the drinks lovely and the range of cakes and pastries quite out of this world. Company running the refectory are called Bread Source excellent!

First and last visit. We ordered 4 coffees and every one of them was lukewarm, it's not that they were left standing before they were brought to our table because I could see them being made and they we brought directly to us. Also cheese scone was heavy and lacked flavour.

We stopped in for tea and cake after touring the cathedral. The building looks impressive from the outside and is bright and welcoming inside. The staff were very friendly and efficient, the cakes were tasty and the portions were generous. Thank you for a great end to our trip.

2 teas and a packet of two small biscuits was £7.80 On entry we were told that the cafe had a large range of homemade cakes. At 2.15 there were very few cakes on offer, not homemade and very expensive. Gave a donation on entry to the cathedral but regretted spending money in the cafe.

The best coffee, danishes, cakes and sandwiches. We kept coming back for more what we tried and loved coffee, hot chocolate, apple crumble danish, walnut cake, cheese straw, goats cheese sandwich …. The best coffee and a great selection of danishes. I would also highly recommend trying the apple crumble danish what a brilliant invention (well I’ve not seen it before and it was delicious). No hot dishes .. as far as I am aware the theme is predominantly homemade cakes and danishes sweet and savoury. Fantastic wish we had one local to us !!

"So disappointingBefore coming to the swan I had looked at the menu online, as my youngest child has allergies and is dairy free. It states on the menu that ‘light bites’ are GF and most can be adapted to be DF, brilliant! It was our last day of our holiday and I thought I’d treat them to a nice lunch out before heading home. Where do I start, the service attitude from the lady behind the bar was shocking. I asked what could be made DF for my son and was told that there wasn’t anything and they don’t cater for allergies?! I pointed out on the menu that they state they can and was met with an eye roll basically. Anyway, I thought I would get him some chips, nope, they fry them in the same oil as the dairy and meat products we are vegetarian ! I then asked about the VEGAN dishes they had and I was told they are also cooked and prepared for alongside the meat products so they can’t guarantee they will actually be vegan!! By this point my daughters had already got excited about eating out and the play area that I couldn’t really back track, so I went against my better judgement and ordered 3 sandwiches on granary bread and a childrens fish chips. My son had a packet of crisps. The sandwiches arrived and were absolutely awful, the cheese and onion one was 2 slices of cheap shop bought bread with some pre grated cheese and a couple of slices of onion not even any butter! It wasn’t cheap, £45 for 4 soft drinks, 3 sandwiches and a child meal. Then there’s the play area, sharp screws poking up through the wood chip, lose sharp fixings on top of the slide, and a massive electric open cable under the swings! We swiftly left, it was such a bad end to our holiday and should have been our final hurrah before driving home. Was appalled at their attitude towards me, was treated like an inconvenience, food was awful, please don’t eat there if you are Vegan, although the dish is vegan ? they certainly don’t take the steps necessary to keep it away from meat, and definitely not safe for anyone with an allergy. Such a shame as the location is so pretty with the river opposite, we were excited and left feeling really disappointed. Will not be back."
