Sanctuary Cafe - Carta

Popped in for coffee and cake with a friend after receiving a recommendation. The setting is lovely and the cafe is light, spacious and airy. The coffee was Ok and the cake selection, although not massive, provided something for everyone. I had a large coconut...macaroon which was lovely.

Called for lunch and was expecting the usual cafe with a busy buzz and fabulous specials. Not sure what’s happened, but there were no specials at all, just sandwiches and soup and salads. Vegetarian food, though vegan as well. I had the pepper soup, which...sadly was thin and watery. My guest had a wrap, which he said was “OK”. Sadly, very disappointing.

Went today to find a whole new menu. All vegan which is fine for me but certainly limited options for others I my group of 4. I saw 2 groups leaving after reading the menu which is mainly sandwiches No meat) salad and jacket...potatoes. No specials on the board only soup. They have also reduced staffing presumably as there is little actually cooking now. Not sure we will be returning Ver carta

This restaurant has always been bustling during lunchtime, so I was taken aback when I found it nearly empty today. Upon looking at the menu, I quickly understood why. There were no tasty quiches or hot specials, only vegetarian soups, salads, and sandwiches. Even the desserts were uninteresting and lackluster. The staff were friendly, efficient, and sociable, but seemed to be worried about their jobs. Unfortunately, we won't be returning.

Over the years I have passed many a happy hour in the Sanctuary, wether it be having a massage, in the shop buying products or indeed this once was a fantastic cafe. In the past I have brought friends over from Australia and recommended to...many others. I used to enjoy the Cob salad with fresh, homemade bread, salmon prawn salad, cottage pie and vegetables and even a cheese pie. Also afternoon teas. But it now appears as a meat eater, we are no longer welcome. Menu as totally excluded us meat/fish eaters. Sorry to say WE WONT BE BACK!

Visited with my husband for lunch and was interested to see the whole menu is now vegetarian with plenty vegan options. My husband chose a BBQ tofu wrap with Thai lentil soup and I ordered houmous avocado sandwich with tomato red pepper soup....We also had a tea and coffee afterwards with a vegan oat ginger biscuit. The food was excellent we had no complaints unlike on our last visit when the prices had been hiked through the roof and portions minute. They have obviously listened to customer feedback and reduced prices and increased portions. I will definitely revisit now as I want to try more of the vegan options. Ver carta

Unfortunately, I have been a loyal customer of this restaurant for years and have always enjoyed everything they had to offer. However, on my recent visit, I was disappointed to find that all of their specials were unavailable. I had been looking forward to trying the Beetroot cake, but it was no longer on the menu. The atmosphere was unusually quiet and the overall dining experience felt lackluster. Although the soup I ordered was tasty, I was let down by the limited options on the menu. While their specialties were always a highlight, I am hesitant to visit this restaurant as frequently after this disappointing experience.

I met a friend for lunch on Monday, February 3rd. it was my second time in cafe and I was slightly disappointed the second time in organic cafe. I was previously with the same friend about 3 years ago and when I... remember right, the menu was more varied, more to choose and I am sure it wasn't all meat fish for free. I chose the Cheddar cheese sandwich and asked if I could have the avocado on it, instead of the red wobble chutney they did, and I was happy with it. I also had a skorn with saw and jam and the pfefferminztee. eating was pleasant, the service was great, staff really friendly, good value for money. I just felt it was missing a little atmosphere and it felt very cold. I don't say...

I went for lunch and chose a sandwich described as containing houmous and avocado. I paid for mine and a friend's order including a soup, plus tea and coffee. We waited an inordinate amount of time for anything to arrive the food arrived first!...I was told I hadn't paid for the soup?? I explained I had paid what I'd been asked to pay no more was said obviously their mistake. My sandwich was just a salad sandwich with 2 small pieces of avocado and at first I thought no houmous but later discovered that the houmous had been spread on the bread and scraped off again like a light smear of butter. The cucumber, pepper and onion was in such big chunks that the bread couldn't hold it and fell apar... Ver carta
