"We come here after a lovely walk on the beach. There were 4 of us, who were looking for coffee and some lunch. We had looked on their website, and although overpriced, they had a nice selection of sandwiches. However, when we arrived the menu was very different. Unfortunately, one member of our party did not like anything on this new menu. We noticed that they also did takeaway sandwiches so asked if we could order some of these instead. We were politely told that these were for takeaway only not sure why as the came from the same kitchen? I requested a tap water but was told I had to use the water fountain as the manager did not allow a glass for this. I’m not sure how this fits with the current COVID guidelines? Finally, We decided to order 2x chicken burgers. They were £14 each, which we thought was a little expensive, but understood you pay for the view. For the price, we assumed they would at least come with chips. However, when they came out it was simply a slice of what looked like birds eye chicken in a sub roll with one but of cheese. Very disappointing. Our waitress was very friendly and helpful, but we couldn’t help feel embarrassed for her as the quality no way reflected the price. What a shame."

Over priced. Poor selection. For meat eaters. They rely on being trendy but there not. Been a while since I was this disappointed. £5.00 for parking. Not disabled friendly in any way.

£14.50 for a house burger (that actually had a few chicken nugget pieces in it and not a burger at all). Another £5 if you want a small portion of chips with it. One for second home owners only

Had breakfast before heading to the beach, was tasty and about average priced for a breakfast around here. Portions could have been more generous. The mushrooms were exceptional. Had coffee and cake on the way back which was pricey double what we have paid elsewhere. If none the less delicious.

Great location , a relaxed atmosphere and great food. A great conversion of the old school house cafe that we had frequented for almost 50 years, very tasteful upgrade with great food . Haven’t attended the barbecue nights but look great fun. An institution after a walk down on the beaches both in summer and out of season. Ver carta

The food is good (not excellent)... when it arrives. On a weekday lunchtime, we had a considerable wait (40 minutes) for a pizza and a portion of chips (although we were warned about this at the time of ordering). The service is below average. Customers seem like an inconvenience to most of the staff members. Prices are top end for the fairly basic menu. A margherita pizza was £16. These prices might be ok for tourists visiting from more expensive parts of the country but, compared to other nearby venues, unfortunately the only redeeming feature is the beautiful location. It's a pity it's not better otherwsie I'm sure we'd visit every time we were nearby.

This evening 13 of us were looking to the £20 barbecue and live music evening at The Old Schoolhouse. That’s £13 x £20, so £260 plus drinks. So we all order from the (very) short barbecue menu. We’re talking about 2 options here, fish or falafels. The food was okay, but overpriced for the amount that was served on small tin plates. One of our party did not fancy either option and asked if he could have something from the takeaway menu instead. This was flatly refused. After some debate we were told that he could buy a sandwich but would have to EAT IT OUTSIDE THE CONFINES OF THE CAFE’S BOUNDARY!!! There was no changing the mind of the manager and eventually we felt so annoyed and disappointe...

We were looking forward to the Feast night tonight but I have to say that the staff and management all seemed to be completely out of their depth. After previously being told we couldn’t book a table and then being told that we couldn’t order the bbq food in the overspill area we were surprised to find that the 1 1/2 hour delay in our food order was partly due to a group of 18 that had booked a table in the overspill area who were having the bbq!!! We had small children with us and chose a bbq night for speed and ease. We got neither. Staff were unable to cope I had to keep asking for an update and nobody knew what was going on. Even taking and delivering a drinks order took an age. It isn't... Ver carta

The location and car park is in a perfect spot to explore Mothecombe and the surrounding beaches bays. We had a great time walking around at low tide. Unfortunately, our visit to the school house for lunch wasn't great. I'm not sure if we were just unlucky but starting with the good point... The coffee was nice. The bad points are that, although it wasn't busy (maybe 4 other tables had people on) it took over an hour to get a sandwich. Other people were also asking what the hold up was and the response was that the kitchen is very busy today?! This place will really struggle I think when it actually gets busy in the summer. Anyway when our food finally turned up, the order was wrong and the...

Whilst you could sit there and say it's good to be somewhere and feel like it's not going on, I'm afraid it very much is and this sort of irresponsible attitude is why we are possibly heading towards another full lock down!! As lovely,friendly and professional as the waiting staff are, they were not wearing masks neither was the chef that we saw in the back ground, there was no sanitizer in site, the tables are too close together with less than a metre between us and the person sat behind me....there were bottles of sauce and salt and pepper pots on the tables,then the person manning the car park hut wandered in and was behind the bar chatting to the staff again unmasked. I'm sorry but this...

"The positive is that the food is good. But the negative is the service time and the attitude of the staff. We were seated and had our order taken after 20 minutes. A little slow but it was a busy Saturday evening so understandable. Starters came promptly and were eaten. We then got ignored by every passing member of staff for at least 50 minutes. Quite the skill! Once there was a break in our conversation and I realised how long it had been, I stood up to intercept a waitress and asked “are our mains on the way, please?” Our ticket was checked by her at the kitchen hatch and we were told “yes”. At this point our starter plates were cleared after they had sat on the table for at least 35 minutes. Our mains then took another 25 minutes to get to us, so I suspect that being told they were on their way was a lie. To be clear: we were given our mains 1hr 20 mins after placing our order. I complained to a waitress who sent over a manager. The manager asked if we’d had starters (yes, we had) and said that it was our fault our main was so late as we’d had a first course. How insulting!!! Blaming the customer for their bad service. Disgusting. When I said it was still far too long to wait between courses she then changed tack and said the kitchen was “really really busy” well, they weren’t busy cooking our food now were they?! And despite the place being full when we arrived, by this point of the night over half the tables were empty. There were 3 tickets on the pass along with ours and tables were 2 4 people (no large groups) so I feel that was also another lie to get out of it. What a shocking way to treat customers! My advice to you is: if you want your food served in a timely manner, either take the advice of the manager and don’t order a starter, or, be sure to communicate with waitstaff once your first course is finished and ask for your main to be cooked and served promptly. (Note: food also sat under the heat lamps for long lengths of time as staff stood socialising with one another behind the bar rather than serve customers) I hope this advice is of use as I would have appreciated it ahead of my visit! Good luck. [Reading other reviews, ours is not the only experience of slow service and seeing staff chat to one another rather than deal with the customers paying their wages.
