Gillmoores Cafe - Rushcliffe

I ordered scampi and chips. The ‘scampi’ that was served wasn’t scampi. It was a scampi like fish paste inside bread crumbs. Very disappointing and obviously some sort of cheap product that has scampi flavour listed in the ingredients. I sent it back and received a refund.

The food was acceptable but far from good. The service was abysmal. The lady who took my order was so unfriendly I wanted to walk out but being with my husband, son, daughter and their spouses, my grandchildren plus my elderly father I didn’t want to create a scene. Would I go again….. no way!!! The staff in that cafe are definitely in the wrong job. Miserable, rude and very unwelcoming, no wonder it was empty.

Wanted hot food, but Quiche was pretty bland and fish pie stodgy and luke warm. Not a particularly warm welcome either

This was the first time for us at Moores Garden Centre. The cafe was not too busy when we arrived. There was plenty of food choice on the menu and the cake selection was MMMMMMMMMMM. We found a very nice table and ordered our food. We had 3 x Full Breakfast 1 Scampi Chips. The food came very quickly and as the plates were very hot the food also kept hot while we ate. The breakfast was wonderful and the scampi looked really good. All the meals were very plentiful and excellent value for money. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The cafe is not very big but beautifully kept and clean. We will definitely make a return visits to this place and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a pleasant lunch out.

This was our 3rd visit here, previously we'd eaten outside in the Summer bringing an elderly relative for a meal as the access is level,The full English breakfast went down well , my only complaint was the marge on the egg salad roll .. This time we sat inside cheered by the wood burning stove but the ambience was frosty and serving staff seem very grim . We ordered cappuccino with bacon roll chocolate brownie [not hard to get wrong -you'd think !? The coffee was so weak it tasted just like hot water , the cake was coated with an unpleasant sticky substance and there was no taste of chocolate in the brownie what so ever , the bacon roll had been spread with the unpleasant marge which ketchup could not mask . We will still buy from the plant nursery but be in no rush to eat in the cafe again as it's just not the treat we had in mind ,
