Butler Henderson Cafe - Charnwood

We called in today, the 15th of October, for a coffee and a sandwich. Very pleasant young lady on the counter. Could I have two coffees and two sandwiches , I asked. The food has a thirty minute waiting time, I was told. We just had two coffees and observed the number of people walking out because of the wait. All that much needed money walking out of the door. I'm very disappointed.

I arrived a bit late in the day so only had a coffee and a piece of lemon drizzle cake. The staff we very pleasant and the cake moist and delicious. All that I required.

We waited a long time for two cold sandwiches, causing my husband to worry about missing our train. When the sandwiches finally arrived, I was disappointed by the sliced supermarket bread, average fillings, minimal side portions, and overall lack of value for the price of £6 each. However, I appreciated the friendly waitress who took our order and the commendable practice of employing staff with hidden disabilities. The garden, located in the GCR yard, was well-maintained.

Had a lovely afternoon tea at this cafe. The staff are very friendly and attentive. The food was delicious and I would strongly recommend this place.

As a 40th anniversary gift my husband and were given a virgin steam train afternoon tea experience for 2. I highly recommend the afternoon tea the staff were very friendly and helpful. The bread was so fresh the fillings egg mayonnaise, ham, cheese and tuna mayo and crisps and salad garnish were excellent we were so full we had to take the scones and cakes as a take away. Will be coming back to do the whole experience again with friends next time.
