What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Luckes Bistro offers a mixed bag of experiences, with many praising its fresh, healthy food and lovely atmosphere, particularly its cakes and seafood. However, some diners have noted issues with inconsistent food quality, such as lukewarm meals and overcooked items, as well as concerns about service and value for money. The presence of flies on cakes has also been a significant complaint.
"I am not a cake person and therefore very difficult to please in "the cake department" :) But Luckes has the BEST orange & cardamom cake. It's just right, not too sweet and full of flavour. Thank you ♥️"

"Lovely fresh healthy food in a light airy setting. Lots of choice so there's something for everyone. My sister in law is gluten free so it was great she had lots of options. It's dog friendly too!"
Vicky Booker
"Ordered 3 breakfasts the first arrived minus hash browns and no cutlery, waited 5 minutes for cutlery by which time food was getting cold, was told hash browns would be soon, second meal arrived poached eggs cold and more like hard boiled, 3rd dish arrived poached eggs again over cooked, still no hash browns, asked again and 1 hash brown arrived in a pot which was delivered with a surly attitude, not once did anyone ask if the food was ok. Very poor food and the staff looked disinterested, for £48 I would expect better quality food and service."
