Food hygiene meets Google reviews. Find your unicorn.
🏠 SANCTUARY BUILDINGS 20 GREAT SMITH STREET, LONDON, SW1P 3BT
Tier Achieved:
For the germaphobe whose motto is 'food is fuel'.
Spotless kitchen, rubbish food. Won't get sick. Might wish you had. Emergency calories only.
Department For Education is less a café and more a hotbed of educational drama. With a hygiene rating that’s excellent, you can safely sip your coffee while pondering the state of education. Unfortunately, the reviews are not kind, with complaints ranging from bureaucratic mishaps to questionable spending decisions. It’s a bit of a dumpster fire—but at least it’s a clean one.
If you’re after a caffeine fix, you might find it here, but don’t expect any enlightening conversations. The vibe is more ‘let’s complain about the system’ than ‘let’s enjoy a nice cup of coffee.’ It’s a place to drink and grumble, not to relax.
In short, if you want a clean place to vent about education woes, this is it. Just don’t expect a good time.
"Why you change gcse to linier???? Are you doing gcse no so why are you adding on more stress!!!!!"
"The DfE’s Strategy for Sustainability & Climate Change is a step in the right direction but it’s woefully lacking in ambition, funding, and accountabi..."
"Robbing Tory parasites. 34 MILLION POUNDS of taxpayers money to refurb this building, what an outright bloody scam."
