What an amazing place to eat!! Service was spectacular, food was fab. Notice customers complaining about wait even though there was no wait at all. Manager greeted us at the door. What a lovely place

We came here to eat as a table of 11, that being 6 adults, and 5 kids aged between 12 and 3.The staff weren't phased at all. They handled it all in their stride and were really friendly and polite throughout our visit.The food was good. I had the prawns which were good, although it was disappointing this size of the portion (just 5 prawns which for almost £9 seems expensive) and that the shells were left on because removing the shells to eat meant a lot of the flavours from the garlic and chilli were lost. Mopping the sauce up with the bread was delicious, though.I was told the camembert was delicious, as was the mushroom toast and the French onion soup. The mushroom I was told was a very generous portion.I had the half roast chicken, and it was amazing. So moist and full of flavour. Would definitely recommend it.I was told the beef bourguignon was really good, not too rich but still full of flavour. The mussels were great, too, and a decent size portion.For families, it's worth noting there is a little padded play area. Feedback from our kids is they loved it, this showed too by them heading over between courses whenever they were done eating, meaning we could enjoy some adult conversation.Overall, it was a great experience and worth visiting if you're in centre parcs and fancy a meal out!

Great all round, no problems with anything except my partner thought the coffee was weak compared to Swedish coffee. But they solved it with something stronger. Friendly and helpful staff, great choice of dishes on the menu, but not too many. Went for brunch around 11, was fairly quiet.

Having visited many times before, it was terrible disappointing this time. Aside from the place being virtually empty, there were very few staff, who were doing their best but its hard to express how poor this visit was.That's an £8.50 pate starter...the presentation, was as bad as the food...need I comment further.

I am genuinely struggling to believe that so many people give this place four and five star reviews.My grown up family and I went for a lunch to give our Center Parcs break a nice (or so we thought) kickstart.The decor was nice enough and the staff (a singular waitress) was also amenable enough and she arrived to take our drink and food order nice and promptly. The table did not look like it had been thoroughly cleaned and after my forearm stuck to the table, I asked for the table to be cleaned before we were served. Bearing in mind there was only one another table in use by other customers it really shouldn't have been too difficult to clean our pre-booked table before we arrived.I ordered the pate to start and the half a (I think it said roasted) chicken.The arrival of a globule of warm pate (no attention to presentation here), served with a similar size globule of onion chutney and a hunk of untoasted, cold, not crispy baguette (no butter provided or offered) and no salad, tempered the expectation somewhat. It was not pleasant.The chicken was then served in between the starter plates as nobody had bothered to remove them or replace the used cutlery, and looked like it had been deep-fried rather than roasted, again no salad. For the accompanying fries, think microwave chips.I asked both the waitress and a guy I presumed was the manager for a fresh knife and fork in order to be able to eat my main course. After waiting for a good ten minutes I went to the open kitchen to ask the staff for cutlery and they at least were apologetic and had it provided quickly.The chicken and chips were both extremely poor and very dry and I find it incredulous that a nationwide chain could provide such poor quality food and service, especially at the prices they charge.I won't be going back.

I left a rather negative review after having one of the worst dining experiences of my entire life in this restaurant and to which it would seem like the company have removed said review.Avoid it like the plague unless you like sitting on the toilet after eating poorly cooked food.The company replied to my review at the time with a very nonchalant soz" type reply

What's happened to Cafe Rouge??? Used to be so nice, definitely gone downhill, well in Centre Parcs Sherwood Forest for sure. Mussels were mushy, over cooked and bland, the waitress (she was nice) brought over a second pot of mussels and we're exactly the same consistency but cooked by another chef. This tells me it's not the cooking but the frozen and defrosted mussels itself, definitely not fresh. So disappointed.Not to mention sticky tables, missing cutlery, dirty cutlery etc. Come on management, you should be doing your job to make the restaurant a better place, pull your finger out!*Centre Parcs, you should be making checks on these establishments. Just spoils the whole experience.
