Meadowbank Cafe - Mole Valley

The staff at this restaurant can come off as a bit unfriendly and disinterested, but I suppose it's because they are not highly paid. The coffee was decent, but we ultimately chose not to have a meal there.

This is how it started. I was waiting at the service counter. A girl approaches me with absolutely no facial expression or greeting. I say 'hello ' three times – before even a flicker crosses her face. “What would you like”, a cappuccino please; “large or small”. I asked for small. She only used five words during the whole transaction, aside from asking from telling me the price. She served me a coffee in a paper cup. I said that I wanted a proper cup (I had not asked for a takeaway). She made this and pushed the cup over. I asked for a saucer. This was given grudgingly. Do you have any chocolate to sprinkle over the coffee? and she pointed to a canister which was very near her, so I had to help myself. And the coffee? Like water. It hardly tasted of coffee. Obviously cheap and a single shot. A thoroughly dispiriting experience. I was with a group of friends who had all had a similar experience. Never again!!!

I stopped by to have a quick meal and drink before exploring the park. The coffee was delicious, the staff were friendly, and the chips were very tasty. Overall, it was a good experience. The indoor play area for kids looked fantastic, a great option to keep in mind for future visits.

I recently visited Meadowbank Cafe for a delightful coffee and breakfast on a chilly January morning. There is also a large soft play area located next door.
