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.
Learn more about our review moderation.

After finally finding my long lost half sister on social media we came here for lunch after visiting our dads grave in Clipstone. Such a wonderful place for food, we came for lunch ordered a ham sandwich with salad and a cheese sandwich with salad,...portion of homemade chips and pot of tea for 2. We were expecting a small sandwich and small portion of chips but wow we got a shock. The sandwich was doorstop size with plenty of salad and the chips where beautifully cooked and more than enough. The tea was served in a Royal Albert teapot with delicate teacups. The service was outstanding I would highly recommend.More

We visited on a Thursday lunchtime (not in the school holidays) and it was great to see Rumbles so busy! Still a great selection of homemade cakes and fresh wholesome meals. The toasties are a firm favourite every time we visit and it's nice to...be back inside with a proper cup and saucer again (after the Covid restrictions have gone).More

Indoor cafe still not open therefore all food and drink served in paper etc. collection by oneself from an open window you certainly don’t expect to pay such high prices. I have just paid more for a coffee than in a high class cafe/bistro with...table service and crockery. £3.30 is way too expensive. As you can understand will not be going there again.More

Great value icecream - really tasty and enjoyed by everybody. Customer service is still outstanding and there's a great choice of cold drinks and lollies (for the three seconds the summer weather lasts!)

We ordered some cupcakes to share in the garden over the Easter weekend and we were very impressed with both taste and presentation. The take-away service being offered at the moment has always been great and the homemade cakes are second to none on the...area!More

My friend and I had lunch here on Monday. The service is good and the staff very friendly and helpful. The food is good but at London prices! We had a jacket potato each and shared a syrup pudding. We also had between us 3...lattes and 1 tea and the bill came to £29.60. I feel that this is far too high and unfortunately too expensive for us to return.More
