A day out in Tewkesbury, stopped for a late lunch at Melanie’s, checked they were still serving, which they confirmed. We both had chicken balti. My friend requested no naan as it wasn’t gluten free, which was not a problem for her at all. We ordered coffee after the meal, when it arrived we were told we had five minutes to drink up as they were closing, coffee was hot, as it should be, so couldn’t gulp it down. When we paid we were charged 30 pence extra for the milk, which we thought was very strange! We have never been charged extra for milk in any other restaurant/cafe. Bear in mind that as previously mentioned my friend requested no naan, but was offered a reduction in price. We would not have expected that, but it has to work both ways. We obviously overstayed our welcome, and the previously pleasant staff suddenly turned rude! I didn’t dare ask to go to the ladies There are other places to dine in in Tewkesbury, we won’t be going back.
A quaint coffee shop, with its quaintness personified by dirty crockery and cutlery, and an unusually large population of flies. The tea was not well strained and the accompanying milk was served partially in my wife's lap. The coffee was fine. The rhubarb and strawberry lattice pie was served on a piping hot plate though itself was cold making the ice-cream largely redundant. At exit I also managed to pick up the bill for somebody else's latte and pancake, and the person operating the till couldn't work out how to do a refund. There are lots of better choices in the high street.
I visited Tewkesbury today and there’s a cafe called melanie’s cafe on the high street. I only had a jacket potato (as very filling, fresh salad) but I went in to ask if anything was gluten free first.. I was amazed when the owner said a list of things like carrot cake, shortbread, lemon drizzle, scones! We had a chat with the owner she was well aware about cross contamination too. The cakes looked lovely. Cosey atmosphere with open fire too
After walking around Tewkesbury, just wanted somewhere to sit down and have a cup of tea and coffee and a slice of cake. This fitted the bill exactly. Nice friendly staff who meet you and greet you and show you where to sit and they come over and take your order and serve you and you pay after you have eaten. Great pot of tea with extra topping up water. Lovely caramel slices and my partners coffee was spot on
