    We had Zandri as our waitress, she was so nice and made our experience a little easier. We had SO much fun (it was our first time there) Everyone were so friendly! We are planning on going back (we already picked what we will be painting next time!) I didn't go expecting to eat, but wow I'm so glad I did! The food is delicious, the milkshakes too! Their service was very quick. The food there is also so inexpensive. We had SUCH a great first Clay Café experience and we will be returning!

    Unfortunately, I've been disappointed on several occasions when visiting. The larger paintbrushes are in urgent need of replacement, as the bristles are loose and constantly fall out while painting. The paint bottles also seem to be in poor condition, with paint often squirting out in blobs, sometimes with the cap coming off as well. The bathrooms could also do with some upgrading. I've visited a few times, and each visit has had some issue. On one occasion, an item was forgotten when I collected several items, and I had to return to pick it up myself. Another time, I was told I would receive a call to arrange a delivery, but no one ever contacted me and no explanation was given. Most recently, I brought my family for a painting session, but again we experienced problems with loose brush bristles and paint spilling everywhere. The concept is great, but the overall experience has been let down by repeated issues and a lack of attention to detail.
