Caffe Del Nino - Cannock Chase

Very polite staff and a very welcoming environment. Quick service and was very simple and easy to order. Would recommend with friends or solo.

We don’t visit Cannock often but as we were in the area we had a little look on Trip advisor for somewhere to eat lunch. Caffe Del Nino seemed to have good reviews and looked pleasant from the outside so we popped in. Staff were friendly, menu was typical lunch fare, prices certainly were not at the cheaper end but we’re always happy to pay for good food. Sadly good food was not what we got, a children’s bowl of meatballs and pasta was lukewarm, the jacket potato with tuna and cheese was ok (hard to get wrong really), although it contained the smallest sprinkling of cheese I’ve ever seen. However it was the cheese and mushroom ‘omelette’ that was truly vile. A small mound of microwaved eggs containing boiled mushrooms and no cheese. It was just horrible. We could hear the constant pinging of the microwave so guessed this was how everything was cooked. I honestly don’t know how the staff served food that was so disgusting. It’s not difficult to cook a small lunch menu fresh to order without the assistance of a microwave. I suggest the management have a look at how the food is prepared and served for the future.

Have visited a few times for drinks but decided to try the all day breakfast deal including a drink for £4.50, which I thought sounded like good value. There were a few people in so there was a bit of a delay but not too bad. The breakfast when it arrived looked good; 2 eggs, 2 sausages, 2 bacon, 2 tomatoes, mushrooms, beans and toast. Excellent. The reason I gave 3 stars instead of 5 was due to a few issues easily put right but disappointing that it should be necessary. The meal was served on an icy cold plate which meant that the food on it went cold very quickly. The eggs had achieved what I thought was impossible in that the yolks were hard while the whites were undercooked. The toast was spread with a substance definitely not butter. The bacon was good, as were the sausages, mushrooms and tomatoes. None of the issues would cost anything to put right, just a little care and attention, and then 5 star material.

I've been here many times for coffee and cake and I love it. There are comfy places to sit and read the paper whilst sipping a large latte and nibbling a scrumpy cake.

This cafe is such a brilliant place to go at anytime in the day for breakfast lunch or tea. But it is so much more too. In the evenings there are a,so things going on. Friday and Saturday live music in a very comfortable atmosphere. With a licensed bar, and the best coffee in town a available .
