Better than we thought. - Visited here for the first time during Winter Pride.
I was pleasantly surprised. Food did take a while thats why I dropped a star.
Although once it arrived utbwas excellent.... read more
Staff were also very pleasant and attentive.
This is a strange place with a strange atmosphere. It all just feels a bit, well, amateur. Waited ages to be served and it was difficult to tell who was... read more actually working and who wasn’t. My pie was underwhelming and the scone rock hard. Give it a miss... nicer places to go.
Christmas dinner - I’ve never wrote a review before but I think I must on this occasion, starter was fine then a three and half hour wait for dinner just to receive a... read more lunch no one could eat roasters boiling hot, pigs in blankets cold and uncooked if you had one . His attitude when approached about the situation was aggressive and couldn’t care less approach, he was also abusive to two of the ladies in our group . All in all very very poor ruined our Christmas Day .
English Bakery excellent service. I wish I can give you 20 stars I sadly came down with Covid and stuck in the apartment. I had fantastic roast dinner and had... read more wonderful gammon and looking forward to have Fish N chips tomorrow... Fantastic place.... Friendly staff...
Then I am hoping to be out isolation for Sunday Roast...
Big Thank you
Been coming here everyday this week. Made to feel so welcome by all the staff especially Caroline so cheery. I’ve tried the pies, cakes sandwiches and breakfast all perfect. Great... read more value and great venue. This place tops as one of my favourite places here. Not sure about the last review on here, if you wanted super fast unfriendly service go to Burger King.
I’ve been here with friends and alone and made to feel like a friend everyone I’ve come.
I can’t recommend this place enough, give it a try. You won’t regret it!
See you next time I’m in Gran Can
Had a wonderful Sunday lamb roast for 2 with roast potatoes peas carrots cabbage and cauliflower and Yorkshire pudding and mint sauce and lovely gravy and for desert apple crumble... read more or crumble and custard and 4 beers cost £34.40 very worth the price and would recommend it to anyone who miss their vegetables on a Sunday .
Booked as a family of 4 for Sunday dinner.
Upon arrival we were left for 10 mins waiting for a drink. Even though all food was tasty, only 3 of... read more 4 were hot.
Service was rather slow even though there was only 4 other tables in.
Nice, traditional English food if you don't mind the wait.
Just had the full English breakfast and it was absolutely amazing! Everything cooked to perfection. We are staying in a 5* hotel and their breakfast isn’t a patch on what... read more we have just had!
Will be back before we leave to go home!
Perfect for the English but there is nicer places about.
We had a good fry up here for breakfast one day, traditional English breakfast, just what we were looking... read more for.
Returned a few day later for brunch where I had scrambled eggs and toast, the "toast" was still bread (not sure if they forgot to toast it).
Partner had pancakes, & we had a water and tea.
Over £15 seemed a bit steep for what it was.
Had nicer produce in another local place, where we would probably go next time before returning here in all honestly.
Nice service though and a good outdoor seat!
We stopped off here for a Full English and the food was perfectly cooked and plentiful. The guy serving was welcoming and worked really hard on his own and with... read more all the tables full. Worth a visit!!
Great quality food and drink - I googled best place for breakfast in playa del ingles and thought we would give the English bakery a try ,i had full English breakfast American pancakes with fresh strawberries... read more and my other half had fish & chips.
The food was all freshly cooked and hot and of great quality,we had a fresh smoothie and a frappaccino to drink and again great quality drinks,glad we have found somewhere for breakfast when we visit playa del ingles again and will definitely go back before we leave after the new year celebrations.i would recommend the English bakery if your staying in playa del ingles.
What can we say best Hiden gem on the island. The food the service 110% everyone must try this place pies to die for
Awful service - I don't like leaving negative reviews.. but.. the service in this place is unbelievably slow. I don't know if they have staffing issues at the moment, but it just seems... read more to be one guy doing everything. Lots of tables with people either waiting to be served or for their order.
It looks so nice but unfortunately fails to deliver.
Absolutely banging full English breakfast well recommended to anybody a must do will not be disappointed,great staff well done the English bakery
Can't wait for the Sunday roast
Long wait for food. Owner very aggressive. - We ordered an English breakfast and we waited for 30 minutes before it finally arrived. When we complained to the waiter (or owner?) he simply said 'You can just F***... read more Off '. He took the food back and we left.
I think this guy has some serious attitude problems!
I hope in his answer to this he doesn't deny saying this or even say that we were not there, as he has done many times on other negative reviews.
Great, stop for coffee and breakfast - Found this little gem of a restaurant on our first visit. At that time did not use as all the seats were in the blazing sun and we required some... read more shade Third visit and we gave it a try! Really enjoyed the coffee and breakfast rolls. Came back to sample, a full English breakfast And was not disappointed. Excellent service and gets very busy during late morning.
Great service and dedicated vegan menu - Since arriving on Thursday I have eaten here every day as it’s one of the few places that has a dedicated vegan/plant based menu.
Menu has a good choice from... read more salads to burgers toastier/sandwiched, as well as desserts!
Best hand cut and home made chips ever!
Would highly recommend all plant based veggie give this lovely bar a try, support someone who has made a conscious effort to offer a good choice and variety instead of the usual token gesture.
Visited last weekend just me and my partner for an English breakfast was really nice probably best around! I returned for a dessert it was the best dessert I had... read more in Gran Canaria in years of going could tell it was home made and fresh will definitely return again when we visit in December. Thank you Steve and Jae and Thank you Mother from Castleford
Not impressed with the owner - Lovely cafe, serves a great latte. On our 2nd visit we chose a table away from a loud speaker and in the shade. The owner asked us to move from... read more a table of 4 to one that sat 2. The choice was between sitting next to the speaker playing loud music or sitting in the sun. Had the cafe been busy we wouldn’t have minded, however there was only 1 other customer! We went instead to Cafe de Paris - far more hospitable hosts.
Relaxing Evening Meal - A friend and I were looking for somewhere to have a nice relaxing evening meal. The service was great. The food was delicious & arrived promptly. The owner had a... read more lovely personal touch. Will be back on this holiday and hopefully many more.
Best food in the island amazing menu something for everyone breakfast and staff outstanding it's a home away from home ☺️
We went here for a light lunch one day while on holiday, we had a chicken salad sandwich and a cheese and onion toastie with homemade chips food was freshly... read more made and was very yummy. Smoothies are very nice as well.
Christmas Lunch - We booked here for Christmas based upon the good reviews...absolutely shocking. We got there for 15:30 waited one hour for starters. These were OK. However the main took another three... read more hours! The children were starving and unfortunately the meal was atrocious. The pigs in blanket were either raw or burnt...but either way they were all stone cold. Vegetables raw and was hit and miss as to what you had on your plate. One member of our party asked to have the food reheated this took forever and by that point we all decided not to continue eating the main as it was clearly not cooked properly. We didn't complain during the wait and tried to keep in good spirits as it was Christmas day but to be served that meal was the last straw. As mentioned by someone else when we addressed this the owner was very aggressive and rude threatened to call the police if we did not pay what he wanted. We have eaten out on Christmas day for many years and I have never experienced service and attitude like it! I am sure we will have a response trying to justify his inexcusable behaviour but I would warn families not to ruin their Christmas day and book here! The photos do not lie soup in the sun and undercooked food In the dark.
Found this wee gem on our last day Home made scone was delicious... real jam ! Friendly staff C U in Feb for sure
Little gem - Absolutely lovely little find with polite staff and awesome food. Omelette and full English was very good and their chips are to die for , we ordered a side plate... read more with our breakfast in the afternoon and there were loads. The English Yorkshire lady is very welcoming and went out of her way to get ingredients for a mojito I requested and it’s probably the nicest mojito I’ve had in years priced at 6 euro!
Amazing full English breakfast - We wanted an English breakfast and found this excellent cafe on the 1st floor of Yumbo centre.
The breakfast was freshly cooked, English produce , great size portion and... read more delicious. The freshly squeezed orange juice was amazing too. Great value. Highly recommended
Definitely the place to go for Full English Breakfast and Good value for Money. - We went for Breakfast a few times on our 10 day trip and I have to say they do a Fantastic full English Breakfast . We ordered the large one... read more the first time which was fabulous and the next couple of times we ordered the Regular both are Good value for money . Staff are very friendly and welcoming.Would definitely recommend .
They should not be running any sort of business - The abomination that was our Christmas Lunch(nearly Boxing Day breakfast.
As others have said, we were all told to arrive at 3.30pm there was no Xmas music no crackers on... read more the tables nothing that would make you assuming it was a Xmas lunch at all. Owner was rude bordering on threatening when asked why our lunch was taking over 3hrs to arrive. I'm sorry buy these two should be no where any sort of service industry. The way they spoke to customers was embarrassing. It could have all been dealt with so much more professionally. Just an apology and an offer of a drink on the house would have gone someway to appease people, but when questioned. The answer was "its our Christmas as well you know?" Like we were their friends that had popped in a for quick bite not paying customers.
As someone else said we'll probably get a reply saying we were at fault as that seems to be a running theme to their replies
Shocking!! Won't be back
