The Reid Brothers - Carte

Had lunch today (29/11) and the food was fantastic, superb chicken curry. Service also excellent. Highly recommended!

Went for a mother's day brunch. Had the full English. Was very nice but at £12 was a wee bit expensive for basically a fry up!! And the pot of tea was extra.

Wonderful setting within the splendid Burghley House…l had the leg of lamb with vegetables…it was delicous…one of the best lunches lve had. The staff were so polite. We will return. Voir le carte

Really poor, seated for long time, waited, eventually asked waiter to order, said he’d come back soon. Two newly seated tables ordered next to us, then saw our waiter taking orders for another newly seated table. We left, plenty staff, not busy, poor service and management.

I meet a friend here about once a year as it's roughly halfway between us, and it's the most wonderful spot for a catch up. Last time was on a frosty day in December, and it was magical, like living in a Christmas card... complete with a fun run of Santas! We had brunch and then segued on to lunch and a very good time was had. Plus the gift shops were excellent. Food nice, but I have to say it's the ambience that makes it. One day I must see what else Burghley House has to offer! No rush for that though :D

The cafe's location and atmosphere are the only factors contributing to its popularity. Apart from that, the food isn't particularly noteworthy. I have been there a few times, but I am not sure what to think of it, thus it took me some time to write this review. The cuisine is mediocre. The pastries' presentation was shoddy. I am not sure if this was an isolated event or if it has always been this way. I noticed the same thing both times I have been there. The town has many more lovely cafes. I think this cafe would struggle to attract customers if those were a little closer. Voir le carte

Excellent on all accounts. Very professional and efficient team who worked well under pressure. When I visited, it was a busy lunchtime on a sunny scorcher day. Staff coped with the queue and didn't lose their cool, served with smile and grace. Plenty of seats outside in the gardens by the pond. Sloped access for wheelchairs. Lovely presentation of food. Good range of teas and bakes, with vegan and gluten free optionsavailable. I had a pot of tea twist lemongrass and coconut. I had the courgette and lime cake and tried one of the specials chocolate yoghurt mousse. Would revisit and would recommend. Thank you to all the staff.

Had to wait over an hour for food, which didn 't arrive until we complained to a manager. Previously we were told it would come 'next ', but then waited a further 20 mins. We have a 2 year old who was desperately hungry by the time our order arrived. The best bit is it was only 2 small, cold plates and some fish fingers! Would have helped if they had told us the restaurant was in meltdown at the point where we ordered. We wouldn 't have bothered. Saw a few more tables getting full refunds while we were there. We were also fully refunded. The food, when it finally came, was pretty good. I wouldn 't recommend this place at peak times, or for those with kids.

My partner and i recently met up here for lunch with other members of our family and we left thoroughly disappointed with both the service and the food, which may i add was very over priced. Considering we had reserved our table we had to queue up to order , when the food did eventually turn up it came in drips and drabs, my partner and i had the leg of lamb which consisted of a couple of slices of tasteless meat and i must mention the vegetables, a long detailed description of this amazing selection... laughable, carrots ?? I had a quarter or ONE yes one and my partner had the quarter of ONE parsnip, this i found was totally unacceptable for the price we paid. Other members of our party too... Voir le carte
