  “Passing through and stumbled upon Blake’s kitchen on our way back home from our Cotswolds holiday. What a lovely little place! A great selection of cakes and amazing cinnamon buns. Very friendly service and made to feel like nothing was too much trouble. You made a heavily pregnant woman very happy with a takeaway bacon sandwich so thank you!!”

  “I Discovered this place recently and thought I’d try it out and it’s great, it’s genuinely worth trying out whether you want an actual breakfast or some cakes, it’s a third generation family owned business with three branches. I recommend trying their cinnamon rolls as they are both delicious and also pretty sizeable. The prices are what you would expect from an independent bakery but I think it’s worth the price. If you go early you get the full freshness of the items baked on site and also before the place fills up inside but if it fills up inside there is loads of outdoor seating covered with large tipis and sails. The parking is pretty good whether you have to use their own parking, street parking, a pub car park ( about 100 feet away ) or other business parking directly across the road. If you’re in the area I recommend that you try this place out.”

  “A few weeks ago I was taken there buy a regular customer with high praises of the place. Unfortunately these fell short. We ordered 2 meals the fritata with salad and harrisa chicken with salad with 2 cans of apple juice, for some reason I got a jucie box and im nearly 40 haha. The fritata came out before the chicken which both dishes should come out together, luckily we are sharing but even then the chicken dish took a further 15mins to get out. On the menu the fritata is served warm, it was dead cold. I asked to heat it as per menu, it then came out warm on the outside and cold on the inside, also had been heated up in a microwave as you can see the egg is leaking water onto the plate, this is a serious health risk as its egg, you can make people sick like this, then asked to heat again which was done in a microwave again, water leaking on to plate. The chicken was dry over cooked. Im a chef by trade so I know what I would serve and that was below par, as per my friend said she thinks the owners are concentrating on the new place and not keeping this place in check which is a shame. I would be very hesitant to go back. I even explained all of this to a staff member with a blank face, no sorry, no manager came out to apologise. Just not good enough really.”

  “Blake's has a tremendous vibe that makes it more than somewhere to eat. People were there for obviously different reasons. Small family groups, people chatting about work, cyclists dropping in for refreshments and a smattering of service uniforms from the RAF base. Fresh bread is on sale but their food is fresh and interesting. A simple bacon sandwich with delicious bacon came with a great coleslaw and scappings of potato to make fantastic chips. The coffee was also fresh, well made and a delicious roast. Whatever your reason for going please just go as I'm sure you will not be disappointed. Also air-conditioned inside.”

  “What a great breakfast, brunch, lunch, coffee stop! Amazing eggs, loaded hash browns, their own sourdough and (clean) cakes. A must visit!!”

  “Another gem 💎 - By chance we found this place passing through and it was b-e-autiful. Banging chicken, avo sourdough sandwich, washed down with a vibrant cappuccino. Sitting outside on a stunning spring day is the perfect recipe for afternoon lunch. Will definitely come back!”

  “we were there for breakfast. We were outside with our dog. Ordered inside and then brought to the table. We ate salmon with scrambled eggs and cinnamon buns with yogurt. plus two coffees and orange juice. Unfortunately, the cups and substitutes were not clean - as was the cutlery, which you had to take with you inside. The food was extremely tasty and a really large portion.”

  “The food was so tasty and there was so much choice! I had a full English and my partner had chorizo hash, both were amazing. We will be back to try the rest of the menu. Staff were lovely and thoughtful, wishing cyclists a safe journey as they left. Decor was cool, lots of seating and just generally a very good place to visit.”

  “We had visited a handful of times and never repeated our order. All the food we tried had been great. We had sandwiches today. They were very delicious. To be specific the pulled pork sandwich and sandwich with avocado, halloumi and fried egg were very delicious. I've never left the place without a loaf of sour dough. It would be wise to have them slice the bread. We struggled even though we had a pretty good bread knife.”
