Nestled within a stunning gallery, this café offers a mixed dining experience marked by fluctuating service and menu quality. While some diners have enjoyed delightful afternoons with exquisite cakes and attentive staff, others have encountered slow service and limited food choices, particularly on busy days like Bank Holiday Sundays. Reviews highlight inconsistencies in food freshness and preparation, with some dishes lacking in flavor. Yet, the café maintains its charm, attracting patrons with its beautiful setting and the allure of art. For a promising experience, visiting during off-peak times is advisable, ensuring better service and quality delights.

This restaurant may be a good spot for afternoon tea, but the lunch menu was quite disappointing and had limited options.

I recently visited the Dean Gallery with my father and sister for afternoon tea. The parking was easy to find and we had no trouble at all. We started with a delicious savoury starter of soup served in tiny mugs and savoury scones, beautifully presented. We declined the prosecco (as we were driving) but were offered a selection of soft drinks instead. The sandwiches and scones were scrumptious, and they even remembered my vegetarian request. The cakes and brownies were divine, and we ended up taking home some leftovers. My Dad was very impressed and we all enjoyed the excellent table service. I will definitely be returning in the future.

I recently had morning coffee at the cafe modern two with some friends, the service was very good and the cakes were lovely. It's not cheap but it's a great setting and entry to the gallery is free so it all evens out!

Dining at Cafe Modern Two, nestled within a gallery filled with beautiful art, was a truly delightful experience. The staff were warm, attentive, and had a charming sense of humor. The lunch dishes were both delicious and artfully presented.

The lunch menu was varied with a considerable range of choice. We opted for soup and a cheese scone,and a plate of delicious fresh salads. The flavour was lovely and the portions generous. Other options included freshly made sandwiches with tempting fillings and some hot items .Vegetarian,vegan and gluten free options we're available . We succumbed to returning to order cakes,coffee and a cuppa,all of which we would highly recommend. The ambiance is pleasant and relaxed. Today the sun shone through the windows and we enjoyed the view over the terrace as we ate our meal. A lovely way to spend a Sunday lunchtime. Staff were friendly,helpful and efficient .
