Medicine Bakery Codsall

I have brought takeout foods and had To good to go orders. Always a nice selection. Absolutely love the Rueben sandwich. Fruit flapjack is delicious. I’m not a big donut fan but they always look great. Always very busy whenever I have been. Highly recommend.

Would rate 0 if I could. I paid £5—yes, FIVE POUNDS—for what was supposedly a berry cheesecake donut, and I genuinely cannot believe the audacity. For that price, I expected something indulgent, rich, and absolutely stuffed with flavour. What I got instead was a dry, mediocre disappointment that tasted like it had been sitting out for hours, maybe even days. Not only was there no berry tang or any actual cheesecake essence, but here’s the real kicker: there was no filling. None. Zilch. Not a drop of berry compote, not a hint of creamy cheesecake centre—just an overpriced, underwhelming lump of dough masquerading as something special with a bit of icing on top. For £5, I could’ve bought an entire pack of fresh, quality donuts from a supermarket and still had change left for an actual dessert. But instead, I got scammed by what’s essentially a glorified bread roll. If you’re going to charge that much, at least put something inside it. This wasn’t a treat—it was daylight robbery. Save your money, your tastebuds, and your dignity. Avoid at all costs.

We were initially seated and given menus, only to be asked to move because we were apparently sitting in the wrong spot even though it was the staff who seated us there. Not the best start to our visit to Medicine Codsall for brunch with a friend, and unfortunately, things only went downhill from there. I ordered the Korean chicken brioche without coleslaw and mayo, while my friend ordered the same with. When the food arrived, both dishes came without the coleslaw and mayo. When we asked about it, we were given a small portion of plain chopped cabbage with a squirt of mayo on top nothing like what was described on the menu. Before ordering, I specifically asked the server what the sauce on the burger was, as I have allergies. She assured me it was “slightly spicy,” but instead it was overly sweet and, more worryingly, the chicken was undercooked. You could actually see blood in the chicken. When we politely raised this with our server, we were met with a dismissive remark about the chicken’s temperature being checked, rather than any genuine concern for our feedback. We ended up returning both meals, yet were still charged £38 for two dishes we couldn’t eat and two soft drinks. I felt awful handing over that money, knowing it was completely wasted. And we barely got an apology. When it came to paying, the woman handling the bill (presumably the manager) was curt, unapologetic, and made no effort to adjust the charge. It’s a real shame the venue itself is lovely, but the poor food quality and lack of customer care made this a very disappointing experience. Sadly, we won’t be returning. Definitely overrated
