Ordered to take away, was really excited to know we could do that here and buy a whole range of options. However, the food standard was terrible. I think if you can ruin a jacket potato it says a lot. (The only place I've seen that happen in hospital). The potato was so unpleasant, we only ate the insides and the tuna mayonnaise. The salad was tired and brown edged, the beans also ruined (how?) watery and the taste was very odd/horrible. I'm baffled as to how you ruin A topped jacket potato. Most of it went in the bin. I've had fish goujons and chips there before and the chips were nice, but the fish tasted off and was very dried out. My friend's burger was OK, so there's still hope.
I think it's great to employ young people and students etc. but if there's no one experienced supporting them and keeping motivation and care at the forefront, you end up with poor standards. Such a shame!

I really love THE PIZZA from The Gateway Cafe!!! Service was superb- nice polite, friendly and made no problems when I asked to put jalapeno from my husband pizza on to my pizza instead. Waiting time was not long. Napkins are normal noce soft napkins not tiny brown paper - what I like.
I took a stars because there were no nice place to sit - outside available table was broken. Was also windy so we went under gazebo. Inside - under a gazebo 100% not nice. I mean there are a lot of tables and chairs but it is arranged in not a very welcoming way. Tables were not clean and indoor area really need some nice touch- it is funnky, undeground atmosphere -what I get it, but was messy for me.
... but pizza and service was amazing 🍕 so truly recommend this place.

Prices are ok £9 for a small pizza and £14 for big a pizza.... (for 2 small and one big pizza we paid £32, served in a take away box)- judge yourself.

A great view over the lake, which was perfect whilst eating brunch outside with our dog Luna. Close by are shops and lovely lakeside walks. Nearby water sports as well.

Lovely dog-friendly 🐕 café on a lake 🌾
Just don't repeat my mistake—don't DIY your breakfast... I got 1 slice of bacon, a toast, and a huge pot of smashed avocado 🥑 😅

Great place to be. Excellent food, great service. Also the walk around the lakes helps too. We haven't been there for 10 years and it has changed alot! It's like a small food village, also outdoor shop with clothes. Highly recommend this place!!!!

When paying the best part of £20 for eggs benedict & a coffee I at least expect the avocado to be edible and the cutlery and crockery to be clean.
No idea what they do to the avocado but it tasted terrible and was the consistency of slop! Poor show!

Amazing views across the lake but let down by poor service. Waited at the bar to order drinks and was ignored by numerous staff. When I asked if anyone was serving was told to wait at my table and someone would take the order from there. Having cleared a table of dirty crockery and glasses and after a further wait we did get some drinks but we were not willing to wait the 45 minutes for food.

Victim of their own success really, they don't appear to be able to cope with busy days.
