Homemade Pavilion - Carta

We pre-booked to come on a Sunday for a family Brunch, was definitely worth booking ahead because this place is so popular (and rightly so! Lots of tasty choices on offer, great cakes and milkshakes too! Definitely worth a visit!

Lovely cakes at a garden centre event today but the manager? (dark hair) was very rude and abrupt. Completely unnecessary and made me feel awful. Reading the other reviews online it's clear they don't aim to get repeat customers!

Visited today for lunch and were very disappointed, dry bread, burnt toast, poor service and dirty highchairs. As a returning customer, today did not live up to expectations and this place has seriously gone down hill since our last visit wish we had spent our money elsewhere! Ver carta

Having planned to go for brunch for the first time without our little one we were hoping it would be a lovely experience. Sadly, homemade did not live up to the expectations their Instagram portrays. Drinks were luke warm at best, the garlic mushrooms on sourdough were more like a garlic mushroom soup on soggy bread and the squash and feta quesedilla was dull. We won't be visiting again.

I’ve been to Homemade about 4 times now always wanting to give my money to a local business but every time I have been disappointed with the food and drink. The cakes are dry and the drinks are ridiculously expensive. I’m always made to feel like I’m standing in the wrong place whilst ordering and waiting for my order. Shame I didn’t take my own advice earlier and stop elsewhere for coffee and cake.

Visited randomly for breakfast. Breakfast sandwich was ok at best sausage and bacon not that nice (ingredients issue rather than chef) and the ciabatta was so tough it couldn’t be eaten as a sandwich. Seemed to be an issue asking for things that were on the menu but separately (asked for smashed avocado on toast with an egg) I presume the dark haired lady is the manager/owner and she made it difficult even though the lady serving was lovely. She stopped the server mid order and made everyone uncomfortable she wanted to see if we were being charged correctly apparently. Looking at other reviews it seems she has an attitude a lot of the time. Cake was nice but expensive and same for the drinks... Ver carta

Planned a rare morning cafe trip opportunity with family before an appointment. The white lodge in the park seems closed but having walked all the way down to the main cafe in the pavilion the signs said the white lodge was open. So back up the hill we trudged only to be rudely told 'you shouldn 't be in here ' upon gingerly opening the door. This was even though absolutely no signage outside the lodge indicated this and we were following the instructions left at the pavilion cafe. Finally served in the garden as takeaway only to be handed a tea with milk that had separated as though it was gone off. When mentioning this no fresh tea was offered but we were still forced to pay for this drink...

Order grilled cheese sandwich and hot chocolate as post parkrun treat. Was warned they were busy on ordering, that was fair enough and to be expected. Waited not too long and my sandwich was brought over and was asked if i wanted any condiments. When the waitress brought back my ketchup i asked about my drink, she said it was on it's way. When i was two thirds of the way through my sandwich i went up to the counter to ask if i could have my drink. I was beckoned over by (assuming) the owner/manager as she said she couldn't hear me. I asked where my drink was as i had nearly finished my breakfast she rudely said they had all these orders to get through as everyone comes in at the same time. S...

We frequent a lot with our toddler and baby. However today we went and were immediately greeted with 'takeaway only ' which was fine but when we said ok the waitress audibly sighed and stalked off. We get it was the end of a long day but we are polite and arrived well before closing time. We ordered two coffees to go some cake and some water. Ordinary latte, oat milk cappuccino with no chocolate (baby has a dairy allergy). Coffee and cake practically thrown at us outside and we were told ordinary cappuccino with chocolate , oat milk latte. Again, it was late in the day, benefit of the doubt we didn 't correct out of being overly polite. It was only by the end of the cappinchio that we suspec... Ver carta
