National Glass Centre Brasserie

A super place to have a simple coffeee or a good meal. Is a lovely place to sit with good views. The food and drink are excellent Friends I was with this time thought it was also excellent

Four of us for an enjoyable “Festive Lunch”. Short menu but good. Presentation good. Quality (and quantity! good. Staff and service good. So, that will be good then!

Called in for late lunch while visiting the museum. Gluten free bread not available for toasted sandwich, jacket potatoes not available either. Salad Nicoise the only option left for my gluten and dairy intolerant daughter. The vegetable and five bean dish certainly had 5 beans in but not 5 different varieties although it was obviously home made. Asked for glasses of water 3 times … I think the staff were on closing for the day mode… Not a cafe I would recommend.

The food was decent, but I believe that the owners or managers should be more involved in overseeing operations rather than relying solely on the hardworking frontline staff. I may have second thoughts about returning for another meal in the future.

We went to the Glass Centre this morning for coffee, which we do fairly often and looking forward to eating Lemon Drizzle Cake. When we got there, about 10.30, it was to find that they did not have cakes on offer until 11.30 (since when has this been happening). Breakfast was possible from 10-12 but we did not want this. We could have a variety of croissants or scones so settled for a cheese scone and a fruit scone without the cream. The cheese sconce was so dry that I struggled to eat it and the fruit scone was burnt. There were very few customers which doesn't surprise me so sadly we will not be returning which is a great pity because we really enjoyed going.
