Wild Thyme Dining

Visited Wild Thyme for the first time today. Beautiful weather allowed for outdoor dining and, even being located alongside the main road, we enjoyed a reasonably quiet and uninterrupted lunch. This venue was, for us, blessed with huge potential yet unfortunately fell short in several areas. To explain: My wife ordered a flat white and rated the flavour as the best she'd had in months. However, the inch of froth on top somewhat spoiled the experience. This is a common mistake made in coffee shops and a flat white often arrives more closely resembling cappuccino. I opted for a Chai latte and was unimpressed. It tasted almost like a mild mint tea, blanketed by the standard powdered topping. It was an odd concoction and nothing like the usual Chai latte I regularly drink. Additionally, we both ordered mugs yet received cups, so not sure if sizes are getting smaller or if this was an honest mistake. It wasn't the end of the world so I chose not to question it. My wife ordered the Power Bowl and, although thoroughly enjoying it, did notice that there was very little broccolini in the meal, even though it was listed as one of the primary ingredients. I had the same experience with my Smashed Avo selection. The menu made it sound hugely appealing as there was a host of different items in the meal, for a reasonable price. However, when my pickles consisted of two tiny slices, and my feta (supposedly an oversized serve as consolation for the out-of-stock halloumi) was also in short supply, I was somewhat disappointed. The base product, namely smashed avo on toast, with a couple of poached eggs, was robust in size and flavour and received my nod of approval. The eggs, especially, were delicious and rated by both my wife and I as the unexpected stars of our meals. Side note - the hand cut chips were great and much enjoyed. The decent serving of aioli was also appreciated. The service, however, missed the mark. Our waitress was prompt and professional yet exuded little warmth or personal touch. She never smiled and was merely 'going through the motions'. She had the service aspect well covered, it was the people side that was a little lacking. The other staff members we met, upon arrival and when ordering, were more approachable and easier to engage. Overall, Wild Thyme provided a positive experience. The meals were of a high standard and, even when considering the aforementioned concerns, were flavoursome, well portioned and left us satisfied. The hot drinks had some issues and the service just needed a few more smiles. Would we return and eat there again? Absolutely.

Good coffee.... Absolutely incredible food!!! Undoubtedly one of the best breakfasts I have ever had and I am a professional chef with over 17 years experience. Can't remember the dish's name but it had chorizo, spicy beans, slaw, turkish bread and perfectly cooked poached eggs (pic attached).

Went here today with friends we had breakfast our meals to ages to come out but they were delicious on the bigger portion size my hot chocolate was ordinary not a lot of froth and Luke warm when it came out. The staff were having trouble bringing or orders as someone had doubled up on the table number so there were 2 tables that were the same number.

Great food really creative menu
