What Jonny Tewelde doesn't like about Butterfly Cabinet:
We got seated outside and waited over half an hour and no body came to give us menus or take our order etc ended up getting up and leaving. No matter how busy a food business is customers should not be waiting that long for service, Or should I say lack of service. View all feedback. What KateJRR likes about Butterfly Cabinet:
First visit as although it’s a Heaton institution I’ve been put off by the queues at the weekend. Happily the queues don’t exist during the week. Very extensive menu with a great range of sandwiches, burgers salads. After much deliberation I opted for the halloumi salad. Excellent choice although I will admit to food envy when I saw my friends burger the absolutely outstanding chips that came with them. Everything wa... View all feedback.

The Butterfly Cabinet has garnered a reputation for its fantastic breakfast offerings and charming atmosphere, but recent visits expose a sharp decline in service quality. Diners have experienced long waits for table seating and food, with some noting inadequate attention to their needs. While many rave about the delicious meals, including the full English breakfast and creative pancakes, others lament the unwelcoming staff and cleanliness issues. Although the restaurant remains popular for its food variety and charm, it’s clear that improvements in service and overall guest experience are urgently needed to restore its former glory.
