Both myself & my mum have been having lunch here once a week for the last few years but not anymore. I ordered Welsh rarebit which when it came looked like a gravy mixture had been poured over a slice of bread & tasted awful I couldn't eat it. I asked if I could order an alternative & was told by an ignorant member of staff that we would have to pay for that as it wasn't their fault. No customer care at all. So that is how much they care about customers. Myself & my mum spent on average £10.00 a week there, so for a £2.60 portion of so called welsh Rarebit they will now loose £40.00's worth of business from us per month.

The only thing worse than the food was the attitude of the staff! The jacket potato I ordered was microwaved, not baked, and was not cooked in the middle. When I told the lady serving she was very rude to me and acted as if it was my fault. My husband had to place three different orders because they had run out of many of the meals on the menu (this was at about one o'clock). The courgette fritters he ended up with were rather overcooked (a bit burnt to be honest) and the salads that came with the meals were very ordinary. A terrible place, bad food and awful staff. I will never go back.

I have tried this restaurant twice now. The first time was acouple of years ago when I ordered a vegetable bake with salad, thefilling of the bake consisted of mostly potato with very little else. Thesalad was ok but undressed, nothing special at the price they charge. Ireturned last month, thinking that perhaps I'd just picked a bad day lasttime. It would appear I hadn't - the lady on the till was rude to mebecause I didn't have the exact money and she was low on change. My mealwas again substandard for the price and I will not be returning. Verydisappointing as vegetarian restaurants are few and far between inChesterfield.

Fantastic vegan desserts and a great choice of meals. The restaurant has a shop attached too that sells a range of health supplements and vitamins. Great atmosphere and ample room to sit.
