This was my very 1st visit to this establishment, set in the grounds of Southwell Minster which is a very popular location with the locals(the older generatiions are very noisy with it aswel )With outdoor seating for when the weather permits & plenty of tables inside which are all on ground level and it also incorporates the Cathedral gift shop to the rear.On this occasion it was very busy & 10 mins ish wait was needed till a table came free,cleared then cleaned (very pleasing to see)by the busy staff .There's a quite a varied drink & menu choices which includes some strange variety meals on the special board on the wall ! .With table service provided, my party of three decided on tea for two,a Cappuccino coffee & 2portions of 2slices of Sourdough toast with marmalade & jam, after an initial enquiry as this wasn't on the menu but looked nice when bring served elsewhere in the room .There was a nice large tea pot for the shared drinks but along with the Cappuccino coffee which came pretty quickly but really far too early as there was along wait for the toast as it was very busy with orders, resulting in the coffee being half left & cold due to the wait.The Sourdough toast was very tasty but the crust was like concrete & slightly burnt on my 2 slices which I left as I didn't fancy a visit to the dentist.The place is dog friendly for those with animals which I'm not fond of having inside a foody place.The toilets facilities were nice & clean,the gents hand drier takes 4 or 5 go's as it doesn't stay on long enough to dry your hands ! .Payment is made by card at the counter unpon leaving.

Had a BLT on granary bread and my aunty had tuna, it was so fresh and delicious. Lovely welcoming, clean and a great menu. Cherry crumble full of flavour. Love it.

Called in for a cup of tea and a cake yesterday (after visiting the Minster to see the excellent Gaia display) only to be told ‘We are full’ by a ‘Lady’ behind the counter. This took me aback somewhat as the seats were around 50% empty inside and out. I did question the comment only to be again told that they were full. She then ignored my further comment that they were actually half full.I can only think that they were well behind with the orders as there appeared to be only 2 working.You would think that having the display on at the Minster would mean they were prepared for a good turnout in the cafe and staff it accordingly.Really not impressed and certainly not with her attitude!

I am giving this 2 stars only purely because price of cakes is excessive.I appreciate prices are rising for businesses, but the prices here for cakes are over the top.I have been to refrectory many times in the past. Staff are always friendly and food is of good quality. I think they need to adjust their prices.
