Cafe Dutch - Welwyn Hatfield

We were looking forward to breakfast having experienced very nice cakes here before. The food was tasty but we waited 45 minutes for the food to arrive, by which time we had finished our drinks, and unfortunately when it did arrive it was just short cold at best. Will gladly return for tea and cake but not for hot food

I’m not sure what is happening at The Dutch. It was a wonderful experience to go for lunch, lovely sandwiches, soup with warm rolls, outstanding cakes all at reasonable prices. Now the sandwiches are prepared in advance, very little filling and no changes can be made to your order. This is a joke especially when they charge the earth. Soup is served with bread and butter seriously make an effort. The cakes taste nice but they aren’t fresh, especially when you can tell they have been in the fridge. I bought a sausage roll from the deli and it wasn’t cooked properly. The cost of going out has increased across the board however we DON’T need to be ripped off with poor quality, pre made products that aren’t worth the money. People of a certain age will accept poor quality, pre made products which can’t be changed ALL OVERPRICED.

My husband I took a friend for Christmas Dinner today and it was excellent. We were looked after by a lovely lady. The dinner itself was larger than I was expecting and was so tasty. There were 2 choices of dessert. Even the crackers were quality. I would thoroughly recommend and may even return for seconds myself!

Ripp off menu prices. Won't go again! Why? 1. Toasted cheese and onion sandwich on white bread, cost £8:00 £7:95 ?? 2. Had to search for the onions in it! 3. The salad bulked up with rabbit food, the lettuce 60-70% 4. Salad very soggy and lifeless. 5. Coleslaw salad drowned in mayonnaise ! In summary: Ripp off prices Poor value for money Poor quality Probably prepared by apprentices No quality control on the food leaving the kitchen Etc. A recommendation: Dutch Nursery cafe director to visit the cafe at the SUNSHINE GARDEN CENTRE, near Muswell Hill, and to learn how to run and offer better quality and value for money food service. At Sunshine Gardens all toasted sandwiches: Have three different filling choices On brown bread Costs only £5:00 Mature- experienced staff employed

Very unhelpful staff…..a smile wouldn’t cost you anything and the food was awful….bacon was 90% fat and bread stale…..would never eat there again !!!!!
