Rosemary's Cafe - Sunderland

I walked out . She was very rude to me. Waited too long for a milky coffee. Lllllkkkklkklllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

I live around the corner to Rosemary’s cafe and eat here regularly.I always feel as if I’ve eaten well on good fresh vegetables and plenty of them. .The meat of the day varies my favourite is beef or lamb with lovely gravy. There is also steak pie,chicken curry breakfasts and other choices. The staff are very caring too,I’ve noticed how they are helpful towards customers always keeping an eye on the door if needs closing due to drought on customers or help on opening Door,or watch the step.Meals are hot and tasty.Ive eaten in lots of places and this one takes some beating.Outstanding value for monies and also good fresh quality food lovingly prepared. Also lots of solo people come in and feel at home relaxed.

One of the worse places I have even been in, This place is really dirty. No wonder theres no scores on the doors here Table cloths thread bare and don 't seem to have seen a washing machine ever. Table legs have paint flaking away as you sit. Spider webs up al the walls, Place mats with old food stuck to them. I tried to swap mine with another two tables but they were equally as dirty. Tea pots and sugar bowl don’t look like they’ve had a wash maybe a rinse no wash tho. Décor .....has never had a wash repaint or anything since 1960s all pictures faded beyond recognition, Waitress is the most unsociable and ill mannered person I have met. Toilets you have to walk through the area where all the fridge freezers are about past the kitchen door where the greasy food is cooked god knows what the hygiene of the kitchen area is like considering the public area I had to leave as the smell and Bunt grease fat had started to make my eyes water basically I wouldn’t enter this place at al unless you want food poisoning and a week or two off graft to recover and cleanse from this dirty place they name a cafe of searoad In simple terms...... just give it a miss

The food I had was good, plentiful and cheap. However, the heating didn't seem able to cope with the exceptionally cold weather and the table cloth on my table was damp following an earlier spillage, perhaps?

The coffee taste is awful, the table cloths dirty and the food is the cheapest of ingredients. It was empty when we got there and now I know why. I will never return.
