Tesco Cafe - Bishop Auckland

XYZ ZYX

Visited St Helens Bishop Auckland. Dirty place, poor quality and expensive food. There was a 20min wait for a ham and cheese panini. The tables were filthy and plates of food left on the table plus food debris all over.

We had to clean the table before we could use it. The table needs to us was covered in food and had dirty plates on it. Ten minutes into our meal a waitress came over and using a serviette she swiped the food onto the floor, piled up the plates and left them on the table. We left straight after that and won't be back. What a mucky hole.

Came here to eat at around 3pm. Wasn't too busy and there was plenty of tables free. Sat overlooking the shop floor so we could people watch!

I had the vegan breakfast, and it tasted great but was a little lacking. No bacon substitute and no hash browns sucked a little. The mango smoothie though - WOW.

Food took quite a while to come, but I'm guessing there's only one person in the kitchen so don't mind that to much.

The menu has recently changed and the vegetarian/vegan options arent the greatest, but that's personal opinion. Will come again.

Not a good experience today. We come here twice a month and normally no issues.
Today though we paid £2.50 for 10 chips. Told this is a normal portion. I'm sorry but this has never been the case when we eat here. No real care when told about it just walked off with empty bowl without addressing the issue. The kids meal we ordered had more chips. We can normally share a portion of chips between 2 of us for reference.
It may be trivial but spending £20 every time we come here to be ripped off just once is enough to sour our experience of this place.
I don't plan to return. Just a heads up for anyone craving chips!

Tesco cafe is one of the friendliest, most accessible cafes in Bishop. The cafe is family friendly, with attentive and warm staff, tasty food and an excellent coffee akin to other local coffee shops. There is a range of food , from breakfast items (breakfast items served all day which is a bonus) to something more hearty for whatever you feel like eating.

Small cafe above Tesco Extra, struggled to find it in store until my 8 year old pointed out the sign was very hard to see the one above the lift, is almost like one of those pictures when you hide the numbers like colours. But found it, staff on the counter seemed lovely. Although they advised it would be a half hour wait for food it was only about 15 minutes. We did have to wait for the table to be cleaned as the woman who was meant to be cleaning was too busy talking to her friend so I had to stand holding the tray until she could be bothered. Then she promptly swept all the crumbs on my husband's knee. But her service doesn't reflect in the food which was amazing, the chips were cooked to perfection and the buns crispy and golden, the chicken burger was juicey and my husband even said his Macaroni cheese was fantastic and it does take a lot to please his autism. Overall it was worth the short wait for the tastey food and would have had a 5 star review if it wasn't for the poor waitress service.

Me and my Dad went here today. First time in probably 5 + years. We got jacket potatoes and cappuccinos. Nice staff and nice food. Well priced. We will be back. Thank you. Oh and comfy chairs and tables.

Once again there is no one out front to serve . We come here twice a week and most time we have to wait for someone to come out from the back to serve . Should have someone out front all the time or have a bell or something to let them know customers are waiting . . I have just sat here eating and there have been customers waiting for over 5 minutes to be served
