Sherwood Pines Cafe

Cycled out to 'the Pines ' on a Saturday. We 'd previously drove out to cycle round the various routes, but my 14 year old wanted to 'ride out '. We had about an hour in the bike park and dirt jumps when we decided to get some lunch. We rode to the visitors centre and found a few people queueing at the take away, we were stopped from joining the queue by a member of staff who said 'we 're closed because of high winds ' yes it was windy, but I 'm pretty sure the building wasn 't under threat of being blown away! By the way, it was about 12.30pm I think the staff were just looking forward to 'an early bath '. We then had to coax a starving teenager to the Rumbles cafe at Vicar Water, which we...

Kirsty who served me twice at the cafe today was fantastic! She served me for lunch and then late afternoon for a cup of tea. She had had an incredibly busy shift but at 4pm she was still professional, smiley and polite and couldn't do enough for me. She went the extra mile with a smile and was very flexible. I commend her working ethic and wish all hospitality staff were like her! She will go far in whatever she choses to do in the future. The sky is her limit! Thank you. You made my trip extra pleasant!

That usual word ‘Overwhelmed’springs to mind with a restaurant that is woefully inadequate to cope with crowds at this major tourist venue in Sherwood Forest. Staffing levels are ok but there are not enough tables. Food wise it’s ok, although whoever decided to add Caesar Chicken wraps need a re-check. Swimming in cheese is a fail. Chicken too is processed. The experience could be much better. Hopefully a completely re-fit and upgrade is on the agenda.

After completing a parkrun, we decided to treat ourselves to a delicious veggie breakfast at this restaurant. The sausages were a bit different than expected, but still delicious. The only downside was the pricey parking fee - we had just gone over the 2-3 hour limit and were supposed to pay £9! Luckily, we had a parkrun discount code which saved us from a nearly £30 bill for our 2-hour trip and breakfast. Reserva una mesa ahora

The cafe appeared busy today as Sherwood Pines was busy with human leisure activities. However we found a table quickly (which had clearly been recently cleared and cleaned), and ordered hot drinks and food. The food came quite quickly and was well presented and tasty. I thought the jacket potato good value for money. We returned later in the afternoon for a further hot drink.

Awful slow service at the takeaway services. One person serving and two queues of at least ten people. Took about ten mins to serve each person. Then when I saw served I was over charged for two extra coffees. The staff need more support or training as they didn’t seem to have any initiative to queue bust or just be more streamlined in making hot drinks

I can honestly say that the sausage rolls from this cafe are the best I have ever tasted. I frequently visit Sherwood Pines just for a taste of their delicious sausage rolls! Furthermore, the staff are always incredibly kind and friendly.

I had a fantastic, fast meal at this restaurant with delicious food at a reasonable price! The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Although I dined outside, the café appeared clean and well-maintained.

Tea and cake was OK. A little disappointed that there's lots of Magnum choices but not the Vegan ones (I'm dairy intolerant so these are great for people like me :
