What can I say absolutely fantastic the staff were absolutely wonderful welcoming and the service received was outstanding the food was delicious too but most importantly our baby was in the highchair and the waitress made a point of NOT holding a hot teapot or the cutlery near our son which is something I pointed out to the waitress I was so impressed with as everywhere else we had been to eat on holiday the past 2 weeks held hot food and plates over or by our son ... well done this lovely lady... then I love the fact little people really matter here lovely leather lined highchair for comfort for the babies and also supplying baby’s cutlery and making a small portion for our son too super friendly and they do care about the little people too so thankyou for an enjoyable experience if we ever come back this way for a holiday would definitely visit again thankyou x
Truly an amazing place to go for food, dog friendly and truely an amazing visit, food was cooked to perfection, milkshakes to die for and the staff were all brilliant and so happy and friendly, you could see they all loved their job. And the posters dotted around everywhere with Rupert and friends, truely spectacular. Would recommend over and over to friends.
Lovely cafe very friendly. Dog friendly too. It definitely is 5 stars. Nice food. When we are that way again will return
Came here for a spot of lunch while exploring ilfracombe, what a lovely little place it is, the staff were very friendly and accommodating, the food was of a very high standard and the price is second to none, made to feel welcome as soon as we stepped foot inside, and the serving skills were incredible, the first restaurant in a 14 day holiday that didn't serve food or hot tea over our 2 year olds head, very enjoyable lunch and will be visiting again on our next adventure to this part of the country. Thank you
Amazing place, me and my family visited today! I had a belly blaster breakfast with fresh, squeezed orange & fresh chocolate milkshake. The staff was very welcoming and friendly, alsi it was dog friendly. For this belly blaster, it was 11.75 & was well worth it!
This is a great place to visit for breakfast or lunch. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, and nothing too much. they look after all your needs the food is very good would recommend you pay them a visit and prices are very good and customer service is excellent
Dog's could go in and a sausage for them with a drink of water. Had a cream tea which was lovely. Would recommend, if in Ilfracombe again will call in again. Prices are good and staff very good at the Job
We came here last year for a quick bite whilst house hunting, we ordered a pastie each with coffee, we were amazed to see it came with a lovely large side salad and crisps. Loved it, and once finished we found out perfect house! You must of brought us some luck! See you on Sunday!
