Debenhams Retail – Cafe

Have been in here today but not to eat or drink as the last time we went they was a problem the cooker was not working so had to have sandwiches, I just wanted to see if they made any improvements
To my surprise they have painted the walls etc and changed the seats not for the best I might say
I was disappointed again see photo, .
There was no signs of the place being used to its full capacity
They have left it with out its usual charm makes me sad cause debs is so central to the town they still when they are operational a good place to eat, sad,

I visited this Debenhams store in Oldham recently, mainly for the café they have.
This store is very bad for wheelchair access and even for prams, as you have to go in and out the store to go up a level, which is just awful and it also has a risk of item theft, as from the lift you can just go to your car.
In the café I ordered a Christmas Soup what they said was Gluten Free, with things like Cranberry, Chicken and carrotts. The soup was okay, it wasn’t fantastic and the chicken was a little chewy, but the sauce and the potato was very nice, it wasn’t the best soup I have had or the worst either. As I told them I was coeliac, they gave it me without the bread that eased my concerns.
They also offered me a Gluten Free mince pie that they sold, they did sell quite a few gluten free sweet treats which was nice.
It was a big mince pie, and it was quite nice for Gluten Free and I am not normally a fan of mince pies.
The staff seemed nice and they did know what Gluten was, as expected with the new guidelines coming in on December 13^th for resturants to know what is in their food,
I give 3 stars because of their knowledge and that the soup and mince pie were okay and the staff were good too. It could of been better, it could of been worse.
