What User likes about Lakeside Bistro:
The restaurant was extremely welcoming with a lovely atmosphere. The children's playground kept the kids entertained while we waited for our food. The portions were generous and all the dishes were delicious. The salads came with balsamic vinegar dressing. The highlight was definitely the children's meals, which included a fruit shoot and a hot basket meal. We tried the "chicken breast bites and chips" and they were... View all feedback. What User doesn't like about Lakeside Bistro:
Our friends suggested spending a day at Beacon Park, so on a beautiful sunny day we decided to visit. Since we were hungry, we chose to have lunch at a restaurant there. The service was efficient, but the staff were not very friendly. They took our order, but then informed us that they were out of a certain item. We changed our order and waited for our food. When it was ready, a staff member called out our order numb... View all feedback.

We were just going to have hot drinks...but saw some of the food going out to customers. Delicious Toasties best I 've ever had...Many thanks.

Recent reviews of the cafe have highlighted serious concerns with the customer service and overall experience. Some guests reported snide behavior from the staff, others felt unwelcome during their visit. The lackluster service was paired with mediocre food, an unfortunate combination for a cafe in a prime location with potential. On the bright side, there were also positive reviews for the lovely atmosphere, generous portions, and child-friendly amenities. Hopefully, the cafe can address its service issues to match the welcoming ambiance and tasty offerings.
