Visited with my daughter for Mothers Day late morning. I ordered the cream tea at £3.50. Mediocre scone seemed like a long life from a packet, squinty cream, the jam was great and coffee ok. Daughter happy with bagel though the salad was bland and tortilla chips tasted cheap despite costing £4.50. Said milkshake was fab. The restroom smelt very unpleasant. We won't be rushing back.

Visited Choco Lotty on a bank holiday for lunch accompanied by the wife and two children. We ordered tea for two, rose infused lemonade. Both arrived promptly and were very nice .For lunch we ordered two soups and half a sandwich - £5:00 each. Cheese toastie and ham sandwich - each between £4:00 - £5:00. After 40 minutes a family at the next table cancelled their order die to the wait. My wife also asked how long it would be to be told it was being brought out now. 5 mins later the food arrived. I new the cafe was busy and expected to wait for good, carefully prepared dishes. I think its fair to say that everyones felt underwhelmed at what was placed infront of us.The soup was luke warm and very sweet. The half sandwich was two halves of dry shop bread with three skinny slices of cheese. The ham sandwich was dry and conservatively filled with sliced ham. The plate was garnished with 8 crisps and a pinch of wilting salad leaves that looked like they had been taken from a bag of ready salad. The toastie was dry which we were later told was due to margarine burning the toastie maker. Despite us all being famished not one of us was happy with the food so I requested a refund and explained my reasons. Unbelievably the experience fell even further into something that resembled Ramseys Kitchen Nightmares. The manager refused a refund on the grounds that a. He felt the food tasted great. B. they only use fresh high quality ingredients. C. The delay was the fault of too many customers and not theirs. D. A survey of 200 people had said their food was really good. E. He felt we were being spiteful. After sometime trying to explain the concept of customer service the manager said his final offer was to refund 50 of the cost. When i told him i would happily pay for the drinks i got a full refund for the food.So if you are in Worden Park and fancy a drink you should visit the cafe. If you're looking for a bite to eat you should steer clear.
