Norfolk Park Cafe - Sheffield

Norfolk Park is one of the oldest public parks in England. It has play areas for different age groups of child as well as open spaces and great views over the city. The park is particularly impressive if you enter up one of the tree lined...avenues from Norfolk Park Road or Granville Road. However, the cafe is much easier to access from the car park off Guildford Avenue. The cafe is in the modern visitor centre building, which is bad news for history buffs (the old ornate cafe was burned down in an arson attack in 1995; only the entrance archway remains) but good news for parents with young children looking for facilities; there are easily accessible toilets, some information boards and activity rooms, and a cafe. The cafe is very young child friendly; the chairs are wooden and therefore fairly indestructible; there are high chairs scattered around; and posters declare that the place is breastfeeding friendly and so on. I didn 't spot a box of toys, but there were some books though a lot of them seemed aimed at the casual adult afternoon reading market. As for the food, it 's pretty standard for a slightly institutional cafe, but good value for money; hot food is limited in choice, but the most expensive item on the menu is the hot dish of the day at 4.50; there is also a range of toasted paninis; coffees are cheap (cappuccino 1.50); cakes are not of the fresh every day variety but are OK. My only other question is: why is the colour scheme for these modern slightly environmental visitor centres so often duck egg green and mauve?

There was no queue and I had a dog that I could not tie up, so I pocked my head in the door and asked if I could pay here and get a coffee brought out. My response was a curt no, no dogs allowed ....I explained again politely in case she mistook my plight and that I am not trying to bring my dog in, I just cannot get to the counter as I cannot tie her up, again a curt and simple no . In the past (without my dog) service has been friendly so I was super annoyed and disappointed to the jobsworth attitude, will not go again.

Walked in at 3.56 there was 3 people in waiting to be served womam behind counter shouted to another member of staff near the door we are never going to get out on time she then said to us am not serving you this person...is the last person I couldn't believe it at tine like this when people are going bust due to covid you woukd want every customer you can get i had a very upset 4 year old. Will not return or recommend it to anyone.

There was no queue and I had a dog I couldn't bind, so I stabbed my head in the door and asked if I could pay here and had brought out a coffee. My answer was a flood no, no dogs allowed... I once again declared polite if she took my plague suspiciously and that I don't try to bring my dog in, I just can't come to the bar because I'm not her, again a curt and just no. In the past (without my dog) service was friendly so I was super annoying and disappointed about the employability, will not go again.
