Service varies a lot depending on the current crop of staff, on my most recent visit they were friendly. The menu hasn’t really changed in the last decade for better or worse. In fact the only thing to ever really change are the prices which are now what I’d call London level. £12 for a small latte and a piece of cake is a lot! Many of the mains are well into restaurant price levels for decidedly café grade food (bit of salad and crisps with a burger or bagel that’s cost most of £20! . I appreciate prices everywhere are up, but Mooch is well above the average locally.

When I first walked in, a lady greeted me and asked how many were in my party. I mentioned I was alone, and she seated me in the waiting area, which I assumed was just a temporary spot. The place had a lovely ambiance with great lighting, good music and a cozy atmosphere, so I was genuinely looking forward to a nice meal. However, it got awkward when they actually served my food right there in the waiting area instead of moving me to a proper table. I'm aware that It was weekend and I would have happily waited for a table to open up, but they never mentioned it and just served me on the sofa. Meanwhile, I noticed another solo diner did get a table, which made me feel overlooked and uncomfortable. To be honest, the food itself tasted good, and I would have liked to enjoy it properly. But I ended up half-eating my meal because it felt strange sitting there while everyone else was at real tables. I'm not someone who likes to cause a fuss, so I just left still feeling a bit hungry. On the plus side, the person at the till was really friendly, which I appreciated, but overall the experience left me feeling pretty let down.
