As a regular, the food of late is well below par. The once nice savoury scones now taste of baking powder. I had The Stack recently it was very dry, tastless and the mushrooms looked very old. Its about time a competely new menu be created. The menu has a few new items but basicly its the same for the last 5yrs. Customers are now wanting lovely different salads, more healthy options.

I recently just took my dad out here for Father’s Day breakfast and I must say the food was excellent, the coffee was delicious and the service was brilliant despite the place being absolutely packed for Father’s Day. Best eggs bene I’ve had in a long time!

The cottage, based in a house, continues to provide casual garden based dining. This means indoor, porch, and garden seating, depending on the weather. We chose patio seating which was enclosed, sunny, but warm. The menu has an excellent variety of dishes We chose the toasted sandwich, which was full and easy. The coffee drinks were also delicious. A great place to enjoy a quiet, intimate luncheon with a friend.

Have been a regular at Calendula Cottage for years now, and never had a bad experience. However, the other day I ordered a vegetarian eggs benedict, which are served on top of a hash cake. Instantly I saw that the hash cake was full of pieces of bacon. I went and questioned if the hash cakes are vegetarian, and one of the staff said yes, that it wasn’t bacon, and that it was sundried tomatoes. However, you can clearly see in the photo attached, a sundried tomato at the bottom, and then pieces of bacon above it. Would not recommend if you have any sort of dietary requirements.
