Tesco Cafe - Dudley

I gave this store a wide birth for quite some time as not happy with a number of things here, I thought I would give it a go Monday after work 6th Feb yet again they have failed, not sure how old the veg is that they sell but again I have just gone to use some onions out of a bag had to throw half away, gone to cut the savoy cabbage in half it's all mouldy, potatoes aren't the best either, apples all bruised, on entering this place it's very rare there are any baskets you have to go looking for them, I'm done with this store so down out will never return, Aldi have better veg another customer they have lost...

I do go here for coffee, teacake or cake. I find now during covid their measures are really good. Queue up and wait for table which is sprayed, cleaned by facevisor staff. Hand gel before you go in and a different exit to vacate. Food ok for a lunch snack not too badly priced. They cook everything fresh hence the wait.

A functional meal, but I felt that certain improvements could of been made. Firstly, it can take a short while to be served, as it can become busy at times. They give you a table number display stand, after you have placed your order, and paid for your meal/items. The food can take up to 30 minutes to arrive most times, that we have been here. I had sausage, mash garden peas and gravy, was was ok, although I felt that it maybe was a bit minimalist. I felt that maybe it needed something more along with it, to make it a bit more exciting. It was presented and cooked ok, but it felt a bit basic and it felt like I was just eating it only for nutrition. Some places, in which I eat, you can taste the different aspects but have gone into it, but it did seem very basic, and this didn't come accross to us, during our meal. It did seem functional however. The whole meal, which I bought along with a small bottle of pepsi, cost been £5-7 for everything included, that I bought. I felt that is was reasonably priced, and I also feel that I suppose that what you get is value for what you have paid, or expect to get or receive. Although maybe, the soft drink prices could be slightly lowered, as I thought maybe they were a bit pricy. The mash potato seemed somewhat tasty when combined with the provided gravy. And I did fairly enjoy the pork sausages that were on offer. I personally would choose to eat here again, and although I felt that some effort had at least gone into to everything, and that I enjoyed myself, I will ultimately leave the decision to others to decide whether or not to choose to eat or drink here, and to make their own assessment, as I am stuck on the fence so to say This review was written by Edward Powell.

We went for a breakfast; what a mistake! Prices are similar to Wetherspoons breakfasts so we weren't expecting it to be fantastic anyway but at least at Wetherspoons the the drink is included not 50% more on top. A cafe should have decent coffee, not here; it's really bitter and the worst cappucino I have ever had. It then took half an hour for the food to arrive...wtf? Looked like it had been thrown on the plate not arranged and the tinyest egg, sausage and bit of fatty bacon you've ever seen. I didn't even know you could get eggs and sausages that small. The hash brown was a cheap frozen affair that had been dipped in warm fat for a few seconds as that was all it tasted of and it oozed out when you cut it. One would have expected reasonable ingredients at a supermarket but they obviously use the cheapest they can find; probably whatever Value range product is going out of date in the store. Absolutely terrible and we will never return.

We went in in the afternoon for tea and cake. But was very dissappointed as the only piece of cake on display was 1 slice of Victoria Sandwich. Which we could not eat due to allergies. Not at all happy.
