The Nutmeg Tree - Sunderland

Another full english breakfast , lovely as always, staff friendly, and a lovely and clean cafe, what more can you ask for!

Hasn’t change a lot with new ownership but still make nice cup of coffee . Good place to watch world go by with big windows.

I waited 10 minutes before being served and this was because there was only one person who was waiting tables taking orders clearing tables and working the till. The place was fairly busy and she was clearly run off her feet. The meal was ok when it eventually turned up and she was very polite and friendly but if it wasn’t for her skills then this place would have severely struggled. Not in a rush to revisit

Visited for Lunch on a Saturday afternoon, the one lady serving told us it was table service so we took a seat. Our order was taken fairly quickly and the food came out at a reasonable time. The food was average (we had a cheese and onion toastie each and shared a jacket potato with cheese and beans) but both toasties were missing the side of slaw when they arrived so we had to ask to then be informed that they had ran out. After we ate and asked for our bill I was told that we had a slip on our table (the copy of the ticket she had wrote our order on) and that the prices were all on the menu. Never have I had to work out my own bill, especially at somewhere that had table service. The lady never even bothered to crack a smile throughout our full visit. Very disappointed all in all.

Well, I went here today and to my horror I discovered a hair inside my daughter's wrap. I told a member of staff and when she told the chef, he sent her back saying that they all wear hats. I went to approach the chef myself and he said sorry (like he didn't mean it) and also practically argued with me that the hair wasn't there's and it know it was there's because my daughter has short brown hair and this hair was blonde. The chef said well I aspect you want a refund and that was it. He was very abrupt and rude and takes no pride in his customers. I would not recommend this place to anyone unless they like eating hair!
