Cafe Rene

I had such a lovely evening Saturday. Amazing selection of beers and alcohol for all. The staff are extremely fun and friendly... like friends in a sense which give the plave an amazing atmosphere. Also, the vegetarian food I had was to die for 10/10. Kudos to the guy wirh the japanese star wars teeshirt. I really need to know where you got it from!

Wrote a review a few weeks ago and saying how nice it was, But after being really let down on Thursday night, My steak which was supposed to be M/W done came out rare, It then took ages to get 2nd time, My partner finished his meal, When I got my steak again chips over cooked and steak was really chewy, Couldn't eat the meal, Not happy.. So friends booked in for a meal here and we got invited and again was awful, A free pudding was offered as not been able to eat meal a chocolate brownie was chosen, Well it was burnt and very bland, A member of staff tried it and also said it wasn't good so we left very disappointed, When owner was informed he said nothing just walked away and have now decided will only use for drinking from now on as the food is no good.. So having come back because family and friends book here each time its still been bad. Tonight 14/7/22 we decided to try again but this was the worst the steak was awful, even the staff said they keep getting complaints from others about the food, Apparently Ryan and Nathan don't like being chefs and seriously don't want to be there said the staff, I feel so disappointed as wanted to be perfect instead I had to buy a sandwich from tesco next door, I will never recommend this place, Only things good about it are the selection of drinks and the two lovely staff Kat and Angelo, Very upset with tonight.. They said they would get bar manager to ring me today 15/7/22 and he didn't so even more disappointed.. Thought not been for a while and try again but it was still just as bad on 19/11/22 portions are smaller and put prices up, so thought won't have steak again as they can't get it right so had chicken, Leek, Ham pie well the puff pastry just evaporated I had 4 tiny bits of chicken 1 cube of ham and a small bit of Leek oh and 8 chips, my partner fish and chips he said weren't that good. Its a shame as used to be an amazing place to eat.. We don't eat here still but do like to go for drink here. Staff are always welcoming and friendly and now they have opened the bar out its so much bigger and easier to get to the bar.. Talking to one of the staff last night 02/02/2023 they welcoming any new suggestions. Did notice that they have a specials board in the restaurant which did look nice. We carry on going there as nice atmosphere and do good live music. Hopefully one day we will go back to having food. Still recommend just for pleasant warm pub.. So went in last night 14/02/2023 and booked in the restaurant having had bad meals before was a bit weary of eating, but booked in as partners parents like it there.. Service was really good and when we all received our meals they were hot and really lovely.. 2 had ham eggs and chips and both were satisfied, 1 had fish and chips and again was happy. I had fish pie and it was really nice to get a fish pie in there that actually had fish in it and was hot and the mash potatoe on top was really nice and cooked properly.. So I definitely have to say absolutely lovely food so will go again and have a meal.. Having had a nice meal last week decided we would go back this week so last night 23/02/2023 we discovered that they don't know the meaning of consistency the mash on top fish pie was anaemic and the veg was not cooked so raw it squeaked in my mouth, Gammon was pink and tough, the steak that was ordered M/W was M/R but more rare than medium.. Safe to say we have called time on eating there which is a shame as used to be so good for food.. So have been back couple of times after saying wouldn't be each time has been improvement have been told that the chef who taken over wanted to make improvements and have to say the consistency has been brilliant.. Went again today 08/05/2023 I had chicken, Leek and bacon pie and my partner had Steak and ale pie both cooked lovely and both really hot, chips really nice and veg.. Due to consistency will go again.. Really good and well done to the chef.. Went tonight 22/06/2023 both had pies I had chicken, leek and bacon and my partner had steak both really enjoyed. Service was lovely.

Was fantastic went with my brother and mum. We had such a lovely time together. Would recommend for meat eaters and also vegans

Great fish and chips. Portion of fish was huge and the chips were cooked perfectly. Mushy peas tasted great. The two guys working the place were super nice and gave great service. Also had the cheese platter. Had a nice selection of cheeses. Would highly recommend this place!

Love cafe Rene but usually come here for some live music in the alternative region. A little shame when it's r and b etc but no Biggie good pub and good atmosphere any how. I always enjoy Rene, the clientele is friendly.

Café René has a lovely atmosphere, food and staff. I really look forward to eating here, and each time I have come away feeling happier and relaxed. Highly recommended.
