"Visited: 29/6/18 Food Standards' Rating: 5/5 Our friends had already arrived, and were sitting out the back on the patio area. First drinks. Had a good bit of banter with the people greeting guest. Really friendly atmosphere. Seating on the patio was extremely comfortable. Getting more drinks was easy peasy. A chap came and took our food order, and then with more drinks coming we went inside to our table. Five of us in total. I ordered the salmon, with the grapefruit and wasn't disappointed; I could have eaten more.... Before they took the food order they alerted us to the fact that there were only two fillet steaks left if we wanted to lay claim to them, and my friend and I did. I eaten at places before that claim that the steaks are 28 days' old. These were absolutely perfect. I had mine cooked blue, and it was beautiful. A crusting of crack pepper, and it was sumptuous. £27. None of the steaks are actually shown on the menu, so it really does depend upon what is available. Aubrey's dry aged beef. My wife had the fish cakes for her main, and really liked them. Pre-dinner drinks consisted of Gin and Fevertree tonic, Pinot Grigio, I stuck to Beck's, but my friend had some other light beer and lager, neither to my taste. With meal the women had Viognier £25? , and us two blokes had a Malbec £35 . The waiter took time to explain about the Malbec, and was very enthusiastic in providing the details. Full marks for his love of what he does. OK. Ready for this...... With a rounding up with a tip £400 for the five of us. I put it down the ladies' tonic waters....."

"Me and my sister visit muffin break a couple of times a month for lunch. We used to find it so Convenient whilst having a baby to feed also as there is plenty of space for the pram. We had noticed changes over the last few months to quality of food staff overall service. Yesterday I had gone for lunch and ordered a sandwich, coffee and cake. A lady who was pleasant took my order, as I was going to pay I asked for my blue light card discount to be added which is on my phone. A rude man on the coffee machine shouted over saying sorry I need to see the card in person. I explained it is a card on the app and that it has the same name as my debit card. He then argued saying no he still needs it in person. I went onto explain I had been here so many times and in other shops and my online card should be accepted. After a few minutes of arguing back and fourth the lady did put the discount on. I was shocked that I had to argue my case over £1.20 blue light card discount which has always been allowed. Terrible customer service. I also had spoken to a staff member who works in the centre. I had mentioned about what had happened he also said he had stopped going there due to food quality staff. He is in the centre still working at later hours (1am) and said he had seen food left out on the counters at night. This isn’t good hygiene muffin break does say everything cooked fresh daily. I doubt that very much now. So I sadly we won’t be returning."
