I visited with a friend for lunch on

I visited with a friend for lunch on the first Monday of half term Oh my word what has happened to this once great place to eat I would say the cafe was less than half full the menu if you can call it that is now just an A4 sheet of paper 50 of which is drinks No proper meals only snacks which can be reheated on request - yuck especially as my friends quiche looked pretty unappetising Service is pretty dire as you have to ask for your order to be taken if you can make eye contact with staff who happen to be in the room It looked clean but there were ring marks on the tables There are many excellent cafes in the area who I will be visiting instead Gibsons really need to up their game to even begin to compete if indeed they are interested in doing so

Very disappointed they couldn t manage

Very disappointed they couldn t manage to cook a fried egg properly It was returned to the kitchen but the second one had a hair in it so was inedible When this was pointed out the the staff at the till they didn t seem to care I have tried contacting the management but had no reply

Unpaid 4 hour trial shift

Applied for a position in the cafe and was asked to complete a 4 hour trial shift I asked in advance beforehand whether it was paid or not and was told it would be Only after completing the shift was I told it would only be paid if the job was offered and accepted As I declined the job I was offered no compensation for the 4 hours I completed

Rotten strawberries

Purchased strawberries to use the following day Opened the pack it was full of mouldy strawberries Didn t even last 24hrs Extremely disappointing I do expect much more from a farm shop especially when you consider the higher price they charge I went to Gibsons for FRESH produce instead of Tesco Wish I hadn t have bothered Overpriced and manky fruit is not what I want thanks Not happy Won t be back to waste my hard earned cash BUYERS BEWARE

Customers service poor

Customers service poorI bought a peace of rump steak Tough taste less worse I ve had when IPhoned about it the butcher was full of I m sorry not had any other complaints well that s what they always say did not say bring back the half you put in freezer and replace it NO

Waited over 30 mins for a coffee 45

Waited over 30 mins for a coffee 45 minutes for a breakfast that failed to turn up at all chased the waitresses twice was simply told it should be ready soon then finally came and said what did you order it s been missed I did sort out the shop manager a tall chap with a beard who could not have been less interested I ve always liked the produce and you pay a hefty premium for everything in there but the service is always mediocre and today was simply inexcusable I shall not return I m baffled why such places not only survive but thrive

We went for lunch yesterday and whilst

We went for lunch yesterday and whilst the food was fine the service was appalling Our table number was 25 The waitress was offhand throughout dumped our meals in the middle of the table without asking who had ordered what started to clear the table before we had all finished and snorted derisively when I couldn t find the swipe point at the back of the card reader There have been a lot of negative comments about this individual across review sites yet nothing changes Why

Some local produce with nice food in the cafe

This Farm Shop is in Canterbury and it has a nice butchers inside with plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables Lots of local free range eggs but the local Kent cheese was a bit expensive at 6 07 They have a cafe just off the farm shop and the food was quite nice although my glass was dirty but that was easily put right Nice place to go just off the A2
