   It was a busy early lunchtime. We ordered drinks, both hot drinks arrived soon afterwards but after waiting 15 more minutes for my daughter’s cold drink I had to flag down a waitress and ask for it. The food came, one veggie breakfast, a Ruben sandwich and portion of fries. My daughter is 12 and vegetarian and there was nothing on the children’s menu she liked so plumbed for a portion of fries . She’s at that in between age with the menu but only likes her food plain and would not eat any of the adult dishes due to mixing of ingredients,dressings and spice. When the order arrived there were fries with the sandwich which were in an enamel mug whereas the individual portion arrived on my breakfast plate in what I can only describe as an expresso cup. Without saying anything the waitress promptly took the fries and alio from my plate. (Leaving a generous gap) and placed this tiny portion in front of my daughter where the tomatoes sauce from my plate was all on the bottom of the vessels and transferred rings on to the table. I couldn’t quite believe what she did or understand this action. I was speechless. The waitress left and my daughter became quite upset at this token gesture of a portion. I couldn’t get the waitresses attention again. My friend kindly swapped her mug and of fries for the mini portion so at least my daughter was able to eat. I wasn’t sure if the Ruben came with chips as hadn’t been paying attention when my friend ordered hers. Surely that was the mix up but when I went to pay the bill I was charged for two fries and alio @ £8. This was difficult to argue over where I was dealing with someone else so I paid it and we left but felt a little dissatisfied at quite a clumsy and strange experience.

   Busy because it's popular so always book at table. Which we did. Vegan Medicine, Harrisa Benedict and Halloumi Sandwich. All delicious. Service always great and great value for money.

   It’s a fabulous place to eat. The food is wonderful & the staff so friendly. We love it here. Make sure you buy a delicious treat to take home for later - you won’t regret it. Two minor points: it’s quite cold & noisy due to the room being one big open space. Wrap up warm, be prepared to speak up & you’ll have a lovely time!

   Another deeply rewarding visit and a reminder of why Medicine is so good. The eggs benedict was delightful and the service, as always, perfect. Plundered the bakery on exit. How can anyone resist so much temptation?

   I had a cocktail, it was delicious! Sadly the food review is not so positive. The burger I had was on a small plate, I prefer a dinner plate. I had a side order of fries that were less than Luke warm. I personally felt the area we sat, too cold. I’d be happy to re visit again if passing but would not go out my way tbh.

   We were recommended to try Medicine and we were not disappointed. We had booked a table and it was ready on our arrival, the wait staff were smart, prompt and friendly. Our party of five included one vegan and the choices offered catered for everyone. The food was freshly cooked, beautifully presented and generous portions. The drinks menu was impressive too offering a range of tea, coffee, juices etc. Overall a very pleasant morning and we even left with a cake as the displays were mouth watering.

   Great food, very tasty and some interesting flavour options too. Was really busy and so service was a little chaotic but friendly

   Service was excellent from the one very busy but super efficient waitress. Would benefit from another member greeting and seating perhaps Always excellent food, I will always return Well done The Jones’s 🙂

    Wonderful selection of food offered & excellent coffee. Sadly didn’t indulge in a dessert or any of the amazing looking cakes on offer, only due to trying to lose pounds rather than gain them.. ☺️
