Sundays - Peterborough

I visited the restaurant on a Saturday afternoon for a cold drink and a scone. I wanted to sit outside because the weather was nice, but the only available table was covered in dirty plates, glasses, cups, and cans. When I went inside, I found that every table was also piled high with dirty dishes and half-eaten meals, with flies buzzing around. Eventually, a table outside became available and I ordered a coke and a scone, asking for the table to be cleared. A reluctant staff member cleared the table, but didn't bother to clean up spilled salt, ketchup, or the general mess. Another customer was even moving dirty plates from her table to another without any staff member taking notice. When my scone arrived, it was overcooked and rock hard, likely from being in the microwave for too long. When I finally managed to cut it, it was still too tough to eat. The staff seemed more interested in what was going on outside rather than attending to customers. I will not be returning to this restaurant as the overall cleanliness and service were both lacking.

Thought we would support local business when visiting Sundays for the first time. Ordered 2 breakfasts with one tea and one coffee. Drinks arrived, tea was hot, coffee luke warm it was replaced after complaining. Breakfasts arrived after 15 mins. However no cutlery or toast, further unexplained wait for the cutlery. Breakfasts were disappointing. Barely warm baked beans, overcooked rock hard bacon and a fried egg that was also over cooked. No runny yoke. First impressions count as a local resident, l won’t be returning. I will stick with the chains!

Ordered the breakfast meal deal for myself and 2 family members. Was overcharged, which they later corrected. My egg and bacon roll was dry and unpleasant. The fried potatoes did not arrive and we had to ask for them and then wait. Some of them were undercooked. My daughter’s tea bag had a hole in it. No serviettes and no cutlery provided, had to use our fingers. One small portion of tomato sauce between 3. Really aweful. Seating uncomfortable thin wooden benches around the edge. Table very wonky and moved when leaning on it. Dirty environment around windows etc.

Visited late Saturday afternoon, checked with the guys as it was near to closing time, no problem shown to a lovely room with a fantastic view of the cathedral. We were advised that the roast options had sold out (expected this due to the time of day) we ordered our drinks and sandwiches. The coffees, tea hot chocolate weer all great the sandwiches (complete with salad and crisps) filled us up! I can personally vouch for the ham, mustard cucumber ones and no complaints from the other family members about their triple cheese /homemade pickle, egg cress and salmon /cream cheese ones either. A hidden gem right in the shadow of the cathedral, will defo return earlier to try a roast when in Peterborough again.

We had visited the cathedral and decided to go to the cathedral cafe, we ordered 2 hot drinks 2 x bacon rolls. The drinks were fine but the rolls came wrapped in paper and were cold, why would anyone serve cold bacon rolls?
