My husband always has a large latte and they give you a loyalty card. Place and people not very good. Surly and rude a lot of the time but this seems to happen a lot since covid. This weekend was even worse than normal and we will never return. Filled loyalty card buying large lattes but they would only exchange for a tea. I was told the rules had changed.

The Watering Can offers a diverse dining experience, though it seems to tread a fine line between excellence and disappointment. While many patrons praise the friendly staff, delightful sandwiches, and delicious afternoon tea, others recount frustrating experiences with inconsistent food quality and service. Complaints include overcooked meals, rude encounters, and a lack of adherence to menu items. However, loyal customers appreciate the café's warm atmosphere and solid drink offerings. For a satisfying experience, it’s advisable to stick to beverages and light bites while keeping expectations moderate for main dishes.
