The food however, the one thing you come for. Summary: Outdated and bland food Few of us had prawn cocktail which wasn’t bad, personally not a fan of tomatoes so spent a lot of time fishing out the tiny pieces, no mention of them on the menu. One of us had the king prawns in garlic butter, which they were swimming in. A drizzle or two to dip bread in to not so bad, but this was more like a 1/4 of a bowl of grease with prawns thrown in, the flavour was ok… On to mains, I had sirloin medium which was in all fairness cooked to medium. But there was no seasoning, the chips from a packet frozen, but were ok. The mushrooms, slimy out of a tin then warmed, not nice at all. Salmon straight from the freezer, not seasoned, watery. The ‘vegetable medley’ which was peas and carrots, no idea what would of been wrong with seasonal veg nor why you would describe as a medley, except when you get the obvious, that they were tinned or frozen. The most remarkable part is I have no idea how long you have to cook a pea for it to lose all its flavour, but this had been achieved. Curry, served with rice & peas & carrots, maybe they’re desperate to get rid of them. The desserts were probably the only saving grace, very nice and surprisingly the cream tasted fresh.

Popped in on a summers day for ice cream sundaes with my wife and daughter. Server was great, made a ice cream clown for my little one, who loved it. Sundaes we had were awesome. So, good food and great service, highly recommend.

Good food for a decent price. Good size portion and impressing deserts.

This cafe was really nice, I enjoyed eating here. The only thing to be improved would be a way to keep the bugs away, there was a wasp under the table, and a fly or two around while we were eating. Also the air conditioning could be slightly stronger, other than those things which I actually had to think about lol, it was great! I got the halloumi, red pepper & onion chutney panini, with a strawberry milkshake, my friend got a cappuccino with the all day brunch. He loved the coffee straight away, my milkshake was delicious as well, I actually ordered 2 lol, the 2nd one took a bit longer to arrive, but the service was excellent! Jessica was a fantastic waitress and I can't fault her. The food was nice I would come back here if I'm in the area!

Have been to tomassis a few times and it is consistently very good. Normally have the mixed grill and jacket potato which is always lovely but had the shepherds/cottage pie, cauliflower cheese and peas and carrots. Lovely and warming and huge portion. The Italian black magic dessert is to die for but had banana split. Banana was black in places and overripe. Florida cocktail was superb. Very enjoyable. Server was great and warm and welcoming atmosphere and decor.

We had evening meal at Tomassi's this weekend. It was, as usual, a v enjoyable meal and good value. We were found a table in the main restaurant on this v busy Saturday evening and the service was v good. We have been there several times in the past and remain impressed by the politeness, friendliness of the staff and the hard work they put in; it definitely stands out. The food is always very good - two really nice salads, drinks and a starter for £25. I would certainly recommend.

A large and very pleasant restaurant/cafe which has been popular for many years. I ordered fried plaice with French fries. Portion was modest but plenty for me. Food quality was good. Waitreses are pleasant and efficient- the place is well run. A great place for lunch or early dinnerFood: 4/5

How can I start off.......well when I lived in the area I would take my two little girls to Tomassi's not so much for a treat but because I wanted to go there. It was always a cut above the rest, a safe friendly place I distinctly remember Mr & Mrs Tomassi dining upstairs and the two girls hassling them. Now my youngest is 24 and has a 4 month I just felt it right to take my little girls back and it was like slipping into your bestest, comforting jumper. Absolutely fantastically magical what a brilliant time with great staff and out of this world food also great value. Thank you for surviving & 100yrs strong, this will now be our once a month experience.

Party of 8 of us at 2pm on a Saturday Nothing special, staff not very assertive, chicken over cooked, scampi was OK but too many chips just to fill the plate, lasagne was ok. It was the anniversary of a family member passing so did not want to make a fuss and complain. Under normal circumstances I would have. Those who had a desert said they were lovely and coffee was good too.

Went there for the first time. As usual she asked us how many of us so we said 4 adult and one child and high chair is not required. So she went and came back within 5 min and we got a seat. Once we started to ordered a friend of mine only ordered a dessert to share with her husband as it was around 3pm andthe rest of us oreded 3 main and one dessert. This waitress was very rude and making her and us feel really embarrassed as she said 'next time if you want to only order desserts she should take a seat at the other side of restaurant'. So 3 of us want to want to eat and 2 just want dessert. That's ridiculous!!! Unasseptable behaviour as she was trying to say something to her work colleague at the back and they were all looking at our table. First of all no one ever ask us before they sat us down what we are going to have and we did not demand where we should be seated. It's not our fault if we got a seat there and secondly 3 of us want to eat lunch and 2 had lunch already so only dessert. So are we supposed to split into two different section within the restaurant???? That make no sense to!!! That experience made us felt insulted embarrassed. Never again.
