Very enjoyable evening thank you & we will be back.
Definately has gone downhill since the last visit to the flying nun, this was our favourite place to come for a Sunday breakfast when we could afford it, we won't be back again and will recommend others not waste their time... Table service was poor, the meal I received was missing parts stated on the menu (and the staff didn't understand what was missing), not to mention the meal was cold.. the drinks we used to order every time were not the same standard. Even the venue has changed for the worse with what looks like opportunistic placement of additional tables in what was beautiful garden. All in all, very disappointed.
The food is always amazing. The staff are friendly and helpful. My fav place for lunch and dinner.
Initially the waitress was quite officious & patronising. The meals were inconsistent & not as stated on the menu. As a previous customer I was could tell that these were different owners
A little disappointed. Have been there for breakfast and lunch on other occaisions. Our dinner wasn't up to the standard I expected. Meals were on the small side - waiter could have mentioned and suggested getting a side. Also the steak didn't seem the same size dish as we had seen delivered to other diners. And it was cold. Duck was great. Duck spring rolls were mushy and didn't seem to contain duck? Dessert seemed stale. Young waitstaff didn't seem very well trained (have noticed this elsewhere too, perhaps a symptom of age not training?) Still love this restaurant, but will stick to breakfast in the future.
The food was acceptable. It was soo hot and we were menaced by the flies. The ambience was very ordinary. The staff were pleasant and efficient.
The place has gone downhill. Very poor service. The staff were inattentive and seemed not to be trained in basic hospitality skills. Came across very disinterested and lacking personality. Waited 40 minutes for drinks which we had to chase up. Food average nowhere near what it used to be. Won't be back
Extremely disappointed with our experience. Food was ordinary and there was no service. Staff were not friendly at all. Wont go again.
Friendly staff, lovely location, food taste good, good night out with friends and family.
good quality food , good service and quirky and cozy atmosphere.
Not at all welcoming. We felt as if we were a bother to serve! The website clearly states they serve “Afternun” from 2-6pm, but at 3:30 we were told we needed to go and look at the cakes inside as that was all that was available. We were told that the website was incorrect! Our coffee and cakes were very tasty however but don’t think we’ll be going back.
Eggs Benedict and Breaky Wrap was overpriced for the size and quality supplied. Table service and Staff are nice and efficient.
Food was lovely and service was great. Had a very relaxed meal. Will definitely go again.
my drink tasted like dish soap. I had the haloumi burger with chicken and my partner had the wagyu burger but both were a bit lacking in ingredients. My partner's burger had a tiny slice of tomato and both seemed to miss a fair bit of flavour. Chips were great!
It was ok. My husband had the pancakes which he has had in the past (his favorite) not this time. They weren't light and fluffy at all! And drenched / swimming in maple syrup. Maybe to disguise the pan cakes?? Eggs Benny with bacon was ok. Could have had more hollandaise sauce. Coffees great. The flying nun is flying only on their reputation from the past unfortunately.....
Consistently good food, very quick service, lovely setting and atmosphere for a Sunday morning brunch
This was my second visit to the Flying Nun and I was not aware that it had changed hands. We were seated and served coffee quite quickly, then we asked for 5 minutes to decide on food, but after a long wait, I had to go and find someone to take the order. The food was well-priced for breakfast, but parts of the dish were over-cooked. We were not asked if we wanted anything else, and we noticed many customers left without ordering. Staff need to be allocated an area, and not keep disappearing. It may be economical to employ teenagers, but lots more training is needed. Uniforms (at least a similar coloured shirt perhaps) would be helpful in identifying a staff member when help is needed. Also, ditch the cowbell! I don't know how many times it rang whilst we were there, but it was super-annoying. Lots of work to be done to raise the standard of this cafe!
