About The Hungry Stag Cafe

Just off junction 47a of the A14 Eastbound, The Hungry Stag Cafe serves breakfast, home-made hot and cold lunches, sandwiches, burgers and cakes to passing drivers and cyclists alike. The Stag Breakfast is the standout order, built around three of everything with an optional black pudding add-on, and a gluten free sausage option is also available, with the sausages themselves sourced from the butchers next door. Ordering is at the counter on a walk-in basis, and queues can build up at peak times. Seating runs to a large area inside plus a covered outdoor section, backed by a large car park that suits cyclists, bikers and car groups. The cafe opens Tuesday to Sunday from morning, closed Mondays, and runs daytime hours with early evening opening available for clubs by arrangement. Children's meals and OAP lunch pricing round out the menu. The business has operated under its current management since September 2020.

    “Popped in for breakfast. Good selection.... Would have been 5 stars but tea tasted very odd! Outside seating area as well so good if you want to keep an eye on your vehicle/bike in the car park.”
  • Robb Aube
    “Fantastic stop for anyone travelling via motorbike! Incredibly friendly staff, good breakfast and loads of outdoor seating! First place I got a full English breakfast and it set the bar super high! Best bacon I've ever had honestly.”

Customer Review Summary

The stag breakfast, a full English with sausages reviewers say come from the butcher next door, is what most return for, with one calling the sausages some of the best they have had and another singling out the bacon. Diners describe a large, well-cooked fry up in generous portions, and several mention friendly staff and plenty of outdoor seating, which bikers and drivers appreciate for keeping an eye on their vehicles. Close behind, reviewers describe the place as clean and say the quality justifies the cost. The caveats are specific. One reviewer found the tea tasted odd and another said the coffee wasn't the nicest. A 3-star account describes a long wait despite a short queue, plus gluten free sausages tasting mainly of rice or corn flour and a burger with no flavour beyond grease, half of which was left. One reviewer reports three sausages arriving uncooked, and says that when shown to a staff member and a replacement requested for their daughter, no acknowledgement or apology followed.
