Doddington Coffee Shop - North Kesteven

The new revamped bike cafe is open but it seems without the previous level of customer service. Previous staff have been courteous however on enquiring about a table yesterday I was met with we are full. No sorry or would you like to wait. In fact when I asked when a table would be free I was told everyone had just sat down and I should try the other cafe! Really? This person was meant to be welcoming but she had obviously had enough that day and no training. It is bad enough that Doddington seems to be the last place in England where there is no diversity now we can add rude to the list of reasons not to visit.

Nice and warm in the café this afternoon, the staff were very obliging and welcoming. It was a cold day so i chose a seasonal latte and was offered soya or oat milk as I avoid saturated fat where I chose. I particularly noticed the staff diligently wiping tables which is a pet 'thing ' of mine!

Had a wonderful trip to Doddington Coffee Shop, food was fantastic, great choice and price. The staff were all lovely to deal with, fast and efficent service.

We ate there a couple of weeks ago. Two coffees, carrot cake and scrambled eggs on toast. Coffee was cheap. The carrot cake was to die for and instead of scrambled egg on toast I got a fruit tea! Went back today. We wanted two hot chocolates, one with cream. What did we get? Two lukewarm hot chocolates, mine had the cream! But marshmallows too! A very average hot chocolate at that. We’d waited that long for our drinks, sat in a drafty old tent that we just couldn’t be bothered to complain. Needless to say we won’t bother again.

Disappointing. We arrived at around 9.30 a.m. after a very early appointment at hospital and my husband ordered a full English Breakfast and I had the Vegetarian version. Nothing was hot even the plates were cold. The bacon my husband was given had either been under heat lamps or had been cooked for a while as it was tough, the beans were cold, the mushroom wasn 't properly cooked, toast only appeared toasted on one side no side plate offered for the toast by the way. The vegetarian version was OK but I 'd sincerely stop doing the veggie sausage, it was dire. My sauté potatoes were 'old ' they 'd been cooked for a long time or recooked. If there is a next time I 'll opt for a pastry. The tea was dreadful and I did advise the waitress of this the tea was far too strong for such a tiny pot. Yes, we could have complained but what would have been the point? In all probability the feedback wouldn 't have been shared with the kitchen staff.
