Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We stumbled across this Cafe yesterday in the grounds of the UHW. We found the whole experience both relaxed and enjoyable. The Manager even took time to have a little chat, despite him having his mask on which must have been uncomfortable for him. TThe...coffee was delicious as was the toastie and the cheesy chips are a must. These were brought to our table by a very pleasant lady. Price was so reasonable too, we will definately be returning!!More

My wife and I decided to try Cafe 14 for lunch, rather than the Concourse. We ordered a BLT bagette and a cheese toasted sandwich and a pot of tea for two. The waitress only brought a pot for one, luckily there was just enough...for one cup each. We had to wait 30 minutes for our food. My wife said that the Cheese Toasted sandwich tasted as if they had used cheap bread. My BLT bagette wasn't to bad, the bacon could have been hotter and there was not a lot of tomato. By the time the food arrived the tea was cold. In the future we will stick to the Concourse not as comfortable but the food is hot and served quickly. Shame it could have been quite good with a bit more thought.More

You get what you pay for ultimately and I really get that, and it is so true here in this cafe. The coffee was really nice to be honest and the barista was very friendly and chatty, even offered a recommendation from the food menu....However, the speed of the food being prepared leaves a lot to be desired. The chef is quite possibly the angriest looking most miserable man in the world unfortunately, he is like this with the staff and customers. Maybe he lost his passion for food long ago and this tells in his lack of 'love' put into his food and the slowness of the service being delivered. Would I recommend it......hmmmmm in truth yes for a coffee, no for food unless you have a lot of time to kill and wait for it.More

My colleagues and I have enjoyed coming at lunchtime for quite some time. We were slightly disappointed that the room we normally sit in was closed for 5 or so weeks however, it has been transformed into a new, very comfortable designated Cafe area sperate...from the rest of the bar. The room is such a transformation from what it previously was. They have such lovely cakes and really nice (cheaper than the concourse) coffee. Well worth a visit just to see the transformation.More

Welcome to Cafe 14 where the customer is always wrong! Feeling like putting a downer on your day? Ever wondered what an absolute dive looks like? Well then come on down and feast your eyes on our menu your nan could cook up better with...her eyes closed. We may not have a rank 0 hygiene rating anymore, but fear not! Our food still tastes like we cooked it on a car bonnet. Burgers so thin and dry you'll wonder if you're actually eating a slice of hoof. Never mind cheap and cheerful, how about cheap and choke on bread that's so chewy you'll get lockjaw. Got the wrong order? Not our problem! Cos it all costs under a fiver anyway so who cares right? No plates? No problem. We serve half our meals in doggy boxes as standard. Coming as a group? Then you can enjoy watching each one of you take turns eating with our completely random service times. We're always happy to listen to our customers complaints since we know we'll never see any of you idiots ever again. The UHW is such a cash cow for us we haven't had to change anything since the 80s. Don't forget to try our selection of beers pumped through pipes that taste like they haven't been cleaned in years. The regulars seem to like the taste of a dirty penny, so why bother right? We'll amaze you with how little we care about your experience here. So come on down and waste some money, because you're one of a million who'll make the mistake of eating here.More
