Review of: Berrill Cafe, Open University, Milton Keynes

1/5 (minimum 1)

by tom on 04 Oct 2007

Yeah, I have to agree with the previous reviewer. One or two of the staff, the sculpture by the stairs and the wifi access are the only saving graces. Otherwise the Berrill Cafe scores low on every point. Sure, it's nice and light and airy, but in the winter this translates into huge drafts whenever the doors are opened (bring a jacket). In general it has all the atmosphere of an airport lounge.

The opening hours are always being chipped away at (now closes at 4pm I think, used to be 5pm), and the food is always a disappointment. Even things that sound like they should be good are often bland, there are no dressings available with the salads, and the real killer is the price. It's not somewhere I could afford to eat every day, and even if I could afford to I'd quickly get disillusioned with the food.

The Open University deserves so much more!
