Cafe Zing Long Eaton in Erewash

Cash only....in a pandemic.....nearest cash point half a mile away. Won't be back.

Lovely staff . Reasonably priced food .

Pity, used to really like it here. Staff are brilliant, really friendly and polite but food has gone slightly downhill. Latte coffee needs coffee putting in please, not just warm milk. Pies are microwaved too much so they become hard. Sausage and burger quality not good.

I eat in and get takeaway breakfast when I'm hanging lovely food 😋

Good food. staff are very welcoming and friendly service

We googled heavily the local restaurants of the highest quality reviews before visiting here. Unfortunately, myself and my friends were sorely disappointed.Dish 1 and 2 (The King Size Burger):The burger arrived looking lush and juicy. Unfortunately though we were only provided with one burger patty instead of two. The kitchen staff rectified this. Tucking into the burger was like eating a bowl of grease. I'm all up for a greasy meal but this was like drinking pure burger fat. The chips however, we delightful and cooked to perfection.Dish 3 (Fish, Chips and Peas):The fish came out burnt and the lettuce tasted like urine. The peas had gone passed the sell by and were heavily overcooked. My friend only managed a few bites before retching and vowing to never eat here again. Once again however, the chips were wonderful.Dish 4 (Steak and Onion Pie):There was no pie! They had run out. But that's okay we changed the order to Sheppard's Pie. We were instead served with a few slices of what can only be described as lamb jerky with copious amounts of mashed potatoes. Sent it back! They then gave us cheap chicken nuggets and chips which were just about bearable to consume.General aesthetics:Air filled with grease and a tatty style. Looks to have been once an incredible cafe but is now run down and in need of some refurbishment. The open plan kitchen is really nice to see apart from when you catch the chef's dismal cooking style.Staff:The waitresses were wonderful and met our every demand. However, when asked if we could have the prices lowered due to poor food and a ruined lunch, we were told no. We then had to barter with the chef (who didn't even speak English so communication was limmited) in order to pay only £20.00 for four meals that were all sent back and barely consumed, when the finally got the orders right.I would highly recommend steering away from this disgusting restaurant, if you want food. The cans of coke however, were flavoured to perfection.

Alex is a lovely chap here. He provides such good service with a smile. The cafe is spacious and can accommodate about 50 people at full capacity. All food is cooked properly and is very tasty. The prices are good too. You look to pay about £4.50-£5 for a dinner which is on large plates. Bargain! I've never left there half full. It's a nice community too in the centre of town. Try it and see. For those not knowing, this is the old Cafe Zing building.

We had lovely tea and toasted sandwich and cake. They kindly cooked a slice of bacon for our little dog. He must have been happy because after we went to Argos our dog Spencer headed straight for the table and sat down again. Lovely friendly staff and good service.

One of the best places my partner and I found to eat. The food was pretty generous, specially hot and tasty, we will for sure come back. Not to mention the service was amaizing, the staff very cheerful and helpful. We had some pork slices and some lasagne and it was amazing. Very nice!

I love this place, always stop here whenever I visit the town center. The food is always hot, well cooked and the price, for what you get in quantity and quality, is outstanding. The staff are so welcoming I cant describe the atmosphere of the place. Give it, what I think is the best cafe in the area, a try I'm sure that you will not be disappointed and come back time and time again instead of going into Costa for a coffee and cake
