Found upstairs in M&S. toilets are right next to the cafe. There are plenty of tables Order at the counter if you want hot food, take a number and take a seat. Lots of tables avaliable some by the window with a nice view. Its very spacious with a high ceiling. No full English option at R lakes cafe. Good selection of drinks. Service was fast and our table was even cleaned for us when we sat down as it was previously used. This cafe is often busy, and for a very good reason. I found it to be a great place to eat.

This is a comment about a medical emergency I witnessed. An elderly lady began to collapse and looked v v ill. Your First Aid response was superb. A young last named KARIS took over and dealt sensibly and appropriately placing the patient in the recovery position. Her quick response is likely to have saved a life. Thank you to Karis.

Great place to start your day with a healthy breakfast choice. We had avocado on toast with some red tea which was amazing. Ambience was good too. Unfortunately we did not get a takeawy of hot food.

Good to see an M&S Cafe that is actually a cafe. Last visit was Fosse Park, which misleading informs you that it has a cafe. Annoyingly just a coffee shop. Took a star off for the awful cutlery which digs into your hands. Food was delicious and good value (3 bean chilli jacket potato) Busy already at noon.
