The Four Stones - Reserva de mesa

I visited for brunch on Sunday 3rd September with a couple of friends. Their previous experience was good. This was quite the opposite! The attitude of the server was poor but she could have had a bad morning. We sat in the conservatory section and were handed the menus and a drinks order was taken. A few minutes later the server came back to take our food order. I asked for Eggs Benedict and requested that I swap the ham for streaky bacon. The server said she would ask the chef but it would cost more. One of my friends ordered the Salmon Stack and the other Poached Eggs on Sourdough Toast. When the food arrived the problems arose. My friends poached eggs had yolks that were over cooked and...

Went for a spontaneous weekend breakfast; we had visited this restaurant several times when it served Sunday lunch and were disappointed when it changed into a coffee house as the food used to be really delicious. Our order was taken quickly but the food did take a fair while to arrive. When it came, the ‘American pancakes’ were lacklustre with slightly raw insides, ‘house syrup’ which tasted more like golden syrup and two limp rashers of streaky bacon. To charge £9 for 3 thin, borderline raw pancakes is outrageous. The full English wasn’t much better. The sausages were cooked but only barely, so much so that every slice was examined before being eaten, just in case. The homemade hash brown...

This restaurant is a **** disgrace. First we’d booked and then the staff said to us when we got there ‘oh we are quiet so we haven’t reserved any tables’ first red flag. Then we ordered coffees that took 20 minutes to come. Next they had forgotten to take out food order so we had to ask staff. When we had eventually ordered the food it took 40 minutes to come. It was taking so long I had to ask the staff where our food was. The food we had ordered was simple food which wouldn’t take this long. When it eventually came the food was lacklustre and disappointing. And also my cake did not come so I had to ask for this. We were not the only people complaining as 2 other groups complained about the...

Came here for lunch, food was good but maybe not quite as I expected, for instance the avocado toast, expecting avocado to be the main feature, however this was a thin spread of avocado on the small pieces of toast that seemed to be the ends the of loaf. the scrambled eggs and vine tomatoes were good. The menu item all in all was good, but more avocado as described on the menu would make this excellent. Staff were attentive, but lacked warmth. When paying the nail glue and lipstick left on the counter let's the side down. A great café in an amazing spot, has good potential, nothing that a bit more attention to detail wouldn't cure.

Had a wonderful Brunch here with my wife and son today, we were served by two lovely young girls who were very enthusiastic, it was very refreshing to see these staff who looked genuinely happy to be there, they were so kind and attentive especially to our son who had special needs. The place was spotless, our drinks came very quickly (definitely recommend the baileys hot chocolate) and our food was delicious- couldn't recommend more!

I’ve visited several times lately since it has become a daytime cafe. The breakfast served is by far the best around with quality food and cooked to perfection. The service is superb, and always welcoming. The premises are always spotlessly clean and laid out well to accommodate large groups and single eaters. It’s clear a lot of thought and care goes into this establishment, so a big well done! But ohhh, that breakfast! Delicious…

Tables far too close. Difficult getting to tables with such narrow walkways. I am quite slim, so one shudders to imagine larger customers getting in or out of their seating and to their table. Extremely noisy due to sheer volume of people in a small space. Very uncomfortable. We struggled to hold a conversation due to the level of noise. Quiche was very dry and lacked flavour. Sadly will not be returning.
