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.
