We went back to Middeys just to make sure that the food, atmosphere, service, and hospitality was…read moregenuine, and it was absolutely fantastic. I'm that person that will order the same thing because I know what to expect but not this time. I ordered the "Middeys Brunch" with a Mimosa and American coffee. The food and service did not disappoint. If I am ever afforded the opportunity to return to Cockfosters, UK or even London in general I will definately make my way to this darling little gem. I would encourage the general masses to decend on this joint and chill for breakfast, lunch, brunch and/or dinner. Thank you Bobby and staff for your amazing welcoming hospitality. Kindest Regards

Promised so much but let down!…read more I attended this new cafe/brasserie with high expectations the decor is done to a high standard and there is a selection of coffees and nice organic expensive items for sale to take away, it has the feel of a nice independent coffee shop in a village. The menu is not too large and offers a good range of favorites like burgers, pastas, breakfasts, salads and sandwiches etc. I opted for the club sandwich presentation again was good, served on a wooden platter with chips in a little bowl. However this unfortunately is where it goes a bit down hill, the food I had and my girlfriends too was distinctly average I even commented that I can make a better club sandwich (and I'm no chef) the chicken was dry, the bacon rubbery, tasteless and cheap. Not what I was really expecting. The price point isn't that high but I feel they are cutting costs with quality. Service as well was not great, maybe because they're new and inexperienced but there were several problems with staff; - First being not great English making ordering more of a trouble than it should be, I heard the table next to me struggling too. -Second mistake, clearing my partners plate away before I had finished. Having come from a service background this is rude and shouldn't happen. -Third, No check back after ordering despite having several members of staff standing around doing nothing, no one asked how my food was so I couldn't inform them it was a bit dry. -and finally, The bill was brought over to me and left at the table without me asking and without the offer of any dessert, coffee, another drink etc. I found this strange as surely they will lose business with this behaviour. I felt slightly rushed, it wasn't like they needed the table it was almost empty. I wouldn't return for food, the coffee and the milkshake were OK and that's about as far as it goes unfortunately.

The avocado and salmon on granary with a sprinkling of chia seeds was lovely. Fresh and tasty with just enough chilli. You've got a choice of bread if you prefer something else. The smoothies are fantastic. I'm allergic to banana and they were happy to make adjustments for me. There are lots of fresh cakes, which all looked really impressive. I've heard good things about the cakes from friends though I was too full to try anything myself. Lovely cafe and family friendly with a little play area for children too.

The farm's tea shop does the best breakfast I've had in the area…read more I went for poached eggs on toast with a couple of 'Speldhurst' sausages on the side. The breakfast menu is simple but the quality of the core produce is way better than anything I've tasted nearby - to date. I've also experienced a number of poached egg disasters at restaurants recently, but these guys nailed it. Hallelujah for the soft warm yolky loveliness... The service was great too - young and friendly staff who were happy to serve and help. I didn't get to see the lunch menu so can't comment on this, but I was also intrigued to learn that Masterchef finalist Chris Georgiou uses this place for a gourmet burger night which takes place from Wednesday - Saturday called Gastronomical. I'll be giving that a try for sure.

The vibe is relaxed, there is outdoor seating as well as ample space on the inside. The place is always alive with people and has good customer service. The coffee is very good; I detected a mild floral scent to it, which I really enjoyed. There is also a decent selection of pastries and other items to go along with whichever coffee you decide on. This is a great place to hang out with friends, or go to to get a little bit of work done. They also have iPads that customers can use to catch up on news etc. definitely worth checking out.

Second time he spent our whole stay out the back shouting on the phone, then some of his friends came and they started playing really loud music. We were trying to have a quite coffee, so i asked if he could turn it down a bit or close the door, he started shouting at me and my s/o saying that it was his cafe, he could do what ever he wanted, and if we had any complaints we should go f*ck off and go to the costa...in the middle of the place. I went in later in the week to clear the air to my surprise the i was barred and once again to fu*ck off. Frankly the coffee is fine, but the food isnt good enough to accept that. At least Gordon Ramsey has some standards.

It's not a tight squeeze. WOW! Staff are really friendly & outgoing. Service is good. Menu is good but don't let that mislead you. The food is tasty.

Service not as good as usual, but that will not stop me from returning. I will be BACK!!! ;) Have access to parking & wifi.
