Waitrose Cafe - North Somerset

Shocking lack of vegan options in the cafe. Waitrose have increased their vegan range in the supermarket, but no vegan options on the cafe menu apart from jacket potato and baked beans. They are not really moving with the times and customer preferences!

Been twice now, seems expensive for what you get, similar to other Waitrose cafes. Yes, we realise Waitrose caters for those shoppers who do not need to look at the price of things but spare us a little side salad of lettuce, toms cucs...with the sandwiches as other supermarkets do. PS. Your coffee is sub-standard too.

This is first time I have eaten here since the upgrade. Went with two friends one had a meal and soft drink. The judt hada soft drink. I chose the fish and chips meal with coffee offer of the day. Prompt srrvice and the buzzer...system of telling you your meal is ready to collect from the pass. I am hearing impaired so i could enjoy talking to friends rather than listening for number. Joy of joy all the components of the meal were hot and well flavoured. Quality sliced lemons with which enhanced the quality of the fish. The peas were flavoured with mint, very refreshing. Fish was flakey and melt in the mouth. Hot chips with a crisp finish. The coffee is machined produced rather than an espresso machine. Temperature was spot on and flavoured beautifully. So many cafes could take a leaf out of the Waitrose team and perfect coffee each time. Now my friends are moving to Portishead i can get great food /coffee every time i visit.

Had roast chicken pie and mash. I was disappointed with the very small amount of mash and not very much chicken in the pie. Not good value for money.

Visit the cafe most days for coffee and sometimes a cake or a hot snack. Fantastic, friendly staff and many regular visitors to chat to. like a social club atmosphere and a great asset to Portishead.
