"2nd visit here and was a spur of the moment meal. Staff really on the ball to get menu and drinks sorted. Nice poppadoms and pickles tray to start, then a Dhansak which was sweer rather than hot and sour, still really good. Washed down with a pint of bicycle club IPA, first for me and very drinkable. All that for a touch under £22. Bargain. Will be back next time I'm working in the area. Service: Dine in"

"A few weeks ago, I visited this restaurant with my older family members. We traveled all the way from London and Kent coast to the Blister Hill Victorian Village, which was definitely worth the trip. The restaurant is incredibly beautiful and has a wonderful atmosphere. The staff were friendly and accommodating, making sure our stay was enjoyable. The breakfast was excellent and the dinner was delicious. Everything, from cleanliness to good food, was top-notch. However, what really made this place special was the people who work there and the personal touches they provided. Thank you for making us feel so welcome. We will definitely return. Many thanks."

"Ordered the Lyfbox, lyf fries and a lyf burger. The sweet potato fries were cooked to perfection, very crisp, no sogginess and seasoned wonderfully to give it a savoury taste. The lyf box was made from simple ingredients of boiled riced, chopped vegetables and minced, ground beef but again combined nicely to give a heart warming and healthy experience. The burger patties were perfect, no oily residue and plenty of high quality meat content with just the right amount of pickle and garnishing in a healthy whole meal bun. Everything was neatly packaged into a doggie bag, and presented pristinely when opened up. I 'm so impressed by the quality of the food that it would be an insult to put in the same category as most fast food takeaway. It 's clear that a lot of thought and love was put into not just the food itself, but everything else with regards to the business. I 'm certainly voting it for Uber eats restaurant of the year. My only criticism? I wished I had more! I will for sure be trying out the burritos next time. Great job Alex and Beth!"

"I have visited this restaurant a few times for breakfast with my Mum, which is always enjoyable. When my friend mentioned they offer Bottomless Brunch, the four of us decided to give it a try. The food was delicious, the full English breakfast was perfect and I particularly enjoyed the pancake stack. The dessert board had some hit and miss cakes, but they were all vegan which was cool. My only suggestion for Gratitude Cafe would be to review their cocktail menu, as they were quite strong. We asked for something weaker after two drinks, and they kindly made us pornstar martinis which were more to our liking. The staff were all friendly and helpful, and the food is always tasty. I have also tried their amazing milkshakes and enjoyed a lovely afternoon tea there. Gratitude Cafe is fantastic and I will always be happy to dine there."

"Shocking dining experience! An absolute travesty!! This used to be a superb pub (service and fayre); in the days when its exterior was adorned in a lovely duck egg blue, in keeping with it’s wonderfully quirky name. Stood at the bar we were ignored by the 3 members of staff engaged in private conversation. After a few minutes of awkwardness, we had to ask for some service. The menu (which had suffered more than it’s fair share of spillages) was not very extensive (only 3 grill choices). The wine menu was poorly constructed of single sheet papers squeezed into a narrow binder, not easy to open and peruse (it fell apart in my hand). The wait for food was substantial and our 2 sirloin steaks were under par. Not very hot, too much fat, and under cooked but still a weighty price at £24.00 for 8ozs. We weren’t asked if everything was ok and given the poor staff patronage, we lost the will to complain! I ordered a second glass of wine and was alerted to a conversation between two members of staff who couldn’t locate my order. So, one advised to ‘just give him Malbec, as it’s already open’. I hadn’t ordered a Malbec but it was poured and they gave it to another member of staff, without telling him it was the wrong wine. He duly apologised but much uncomfortable toing and froing ensued, while we were trying to eat, to locate the wine I had ordered which was to no avail. Staff clearly lack managerial direction. A disappointing experience; a clear demise of service and standards in this establishment, we couldn’t wait to leave! NOT recommended and will NOT be going back!"
