Welcome to The Wonky Cow Cafe, where the hygiene is top-notch, but the reviews tell a different story. With a 5-star hygiene rating and a dismal 2.6 on Google, you might get a clean plate but leave feeling a bit empty. The food, like the mushroom toast and salted pistachio waffles, lands somewhere between ‘meh’ and ‘I’m still hungry’. Ke De Huang found the flavors enjoyable but nothing to rave about, while others were left dining in a sad state of confusion.
The service? That’s a mixed bag. Sophia Ineson had a long wait for burnt dishes, while Barnaby Wiles encountered a staff member who looked like they’d rather be anywhere else. So if you’re here, it’s probably better to stick with the safe options and keep your expectations low. Just be prepared for a menu that’s more about the experience than a culinary adventure.
"Overall, the food was good, though nothing particularly stood out."
"The fish was excellent...but the mushy peas?"
"Waffles were really nice...but burnt mushroom toast took 30 minutes."
