It was a warm afternoon so we chose to sit outside and sat at a table outside the main doors. There was a horrible drain/ sewerage smell that was really strong so we had to move tables twice to get away from the stink.My parents ordered a ham sandwich and cream scone. The sandwich was a costly £7.95 and was a dry t cake with some ham and bit of salad and some salad on the side. Not worth the money. The tea with the scone was a small pot with one tea bag , barely getting a decent cup of tea out of it . Overall it was v poor and expensive, especially for pensioners. Felt totally ripped off. I've given it a one as at least the young lad serving was polite.Sorry will not be visiting the Bistro again which is a shame as Cannon Hall is a lovely visitor site.

We both ended up with pie and chips and this wasn’t as nice as it could have been. The pastry was too thick, it would have been better without the layer on the bottom and the beef was a bit tough too. I had to have chips because there was no mashed potatoes on the menu at all. I know we are probably very ‘previous’ but we do enjoy more traditional fare steak, roast beef, roast turkey, chicken fillet, pork chop, lamb shanks….. if only. Everything is cooked with spices and herbs and there’s no alternative if you don’t want that.

Who the heel wants to sit in a shabby beer garden when you can have a lovely brew and cake here (two wonderful vegan friendly options as well) GO TEAM THYME!

However, we were disappointed with the quality of the drinks we received during our last visit. Despite requesting our beverages to be extra hot, they were served lukewarm on all three rounds. This was frustrating as we spent around £60 in total, including breakfast, and it seemed like our request was not taken seriously. We believe that having hot drinks should not be a difficult task, especially considering the weather and our preference for piping hot drinks while sitting outside. Overall, we rated our experience a 3 out of 5 due to the drinks not being prepared as requested, impacting both the service and value for money.
