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.

So disabled friendly

Aug 2022 • couples

Went to this restaurant today for the first time. Getting into the restaurant is easy as there are disabled spaces and the entry is up a small slope. My wife and I went to view the menu and after we had decided I went to find a table. I am a powerchair user but my folding powerchair isn't very maneuverable. A staff member approached and asked if I was looking for a table for 2 or 4. He asked if the table I was beside would be OK. He guided me in place but my chair wasn't behaving. He moved the table to allow me easy positioning then replaced the table. He then explained where the disabled toilets were. The food appeared to be freshly made. The scampi was dry and crisp as were the chios. It was also hot. This restaurant gets a big thumbs up for not only the food but for their ability to understand disabled needs and their willingness to help

Lovely lunch

Aug 2020 • none

Had lunch at The Mustard Seed for the first time since lockdown. Food fabulous as always. I was very impressed at the cleanliness and sanitisation that has been enforced due to Covid. There was a lady who was wiping down the tables, chairs and couches once they had been vacated. The toilets are sanitised every hour and Perspex screens have been installed. The staff give you the cutlery, napkins etc. Every care has been taken to ensure a safe visit. I can’t recommend this restaurant enough. Great food and a safe environment, what more could anyone want?

Lovely place for a tasty bit brekkie and a pot of tea. My food wad prepared to my taste and was delicious. A top up of tea is available when one has a full brekkie. Friendly staff and a pleasant place to get away from it all for a while.

Disappointing

Aug 2022 • none

Very disappointed with our visit today as it’s always been a nice place for lunch in the past. We ordered soup and sandwich at a cost of £8.95 each. The bowl of ‘chunky vegetable’ soup was very watery with just a few chunks of carrot and some onion. This was served with a small egg sandwich which was nice and fresh and a roll with a cheese slice served with a side salad (a slither of tomato, a slither of cucumber and a forkful of lettuce) Hopefully this was a one off as it’s a nice venue with good parking and a nice little gift shop.

Thank you for your review. We always want to know what our customers are thinking, and wish to rectify any situation when a customer is not happy. However, it is much easier to help if the complaint is made whilst the customer is in the coffee shop. We are more than happy to change a menu item if it is not to your satisfaction.

Suitable for families

Oct 2023 • family

A family day at the park and we needed somewhere to eat and something for everyone. After a quick internet search, the Mustard Seed popped up. It looked suitable online however exceeded expectations. The cafe was busy but found seats for our large group by the sofas and tables. High chair available. They had a great choice of hot meals, soups and sandwiches. The sweet treats were of great portion size and reasonably priced! The staff were friendly and we didn't have to wait to long in a queue or for our food. Great offers for the kids in their meal deal or lunch deal. There was ample parking also. Would return again if in the area.

An excellent choice for us four guys for a full Scottish breakfast. Excellent friendly staff and excellent customer service-accommodating to our needs. The fresh coffee was lovely and the breakfast was perfect for us all. We enjoyed our time, having our coffees refilled as desired. We have decided we will meet every two weeks for fellowship and b/f because we are getting what we want, quality and nice food. A grwat place to meet up.

Well worth a visit whilst in town.

We're regular visitors. It is the best cafe in Perth. The staff are lovely and friendly. The food is cooked fresh. The prices are more than competitive in this economic crisis. The whole place is kept immaculate. We cannot recommend it strongly enough.

A surprising establishment

Feb 2020 • family

We were looking for a cafe but found a lovely gift shop, clean cafe with very good prices, and unusual church. The pictures on the walls show the history. Toilets rivalled modern hotels.

Excellent after swim lunch

Aug 2019 • family

Super lunch options for gluten free - I had a panini which you don’t find many places and there were lots of other choices too. Great cakes too - gf empire biscuit was lovely. And super filter coffee. The kids enjoyed a hot lunch with ice cream and drink included. Next time we swim in Perth we’ll definitely be back.
