The Cyclist Café - Sudbury

There is some great cycling to be had in the hills around Sudbury, and a visit to the Cyclist is more or less mandatory for those who like the good things in life.

What a pretentious experience. We arrive at 09:30hrs and as we were about to sit at the table the older female member of staff calls, Can you come over here . I walk to the counter like a beakoned dog and then she asks, What would you like? . I respond with, Do you have a Menu please? , to which she replies rudely, They are on the table . I pick one off the table and then order from the ridiculously basic breakfast choice of one marmalade on toast and one ciabata with dry cured bacon. A gentleman appears and states, We are out of ciabatta but can offer a standard bread roll instead . I respond with, I take it that would be at a recduced cost? He replied with a very blunt No , so I turned around and we walked out. What establishment runs out of basic ingedients at 09:30am and also splits the breakfast menu into time zones, so if you want eggs on toast ie. a breakfast, you have to wait till 10:30. This place is so pretentious it 's beyond words and the staff need a serious wake up call of how to offer customer service. We 'll never be back and hope this business fails.

Great cafe bar, with a modern east London feel to it. Definitely worth venturing to when in Sudbury.

Very friendly staff and a decent burger. Really nice walk at the end of the road.
