Customer Review Summary

Breakfast is what reviewers return to most, with the full English praised as perfectly cooked and the Greek yoghurt bowl with granola and fruit called refreshing. Coffee is described as excellent, and one group holding a weekly breakfast club calls it their most enjoyable so far. Close behind are the lunch dishes, including steak and Stilton and bacon and Brie paninis, cheesy chips and Parmesan and truffle oil chips, and a gluten free friend who found plenty of options. Reviewers repeatedly call the staff friendly and welcoming, and the service quick even when busy. Several mention the dog friendly welcome, and one says the staff always bring the dog a treat. The main complaint is a lunch visit where a chicken ciabatta with no tomato arrived as a tuna melt, the server attributed it to miscommunication, the food was described as the driest that reviewer had eaten, and the reception afterwards turned frosty. Another reviewer wanted more mushrooms on the garlic mushroom dish, said so, and found staff took it well.

    “Called at Birdcage for lunch. Wasn't acknowledged when I first came in, staff carried on with their conversation. Eventually ordered a chicken ciabatta with no tomato. My food was brought only to find a tuna melt! Called the girl over to point out her mistake. She told me I had ordered the melt. Pointing out I never mentioned melt and don't eat tuna, that I asked for the chicken with no tomato. The melt doesn't even come with tomato! The girl then said there was a miscommunication, (meaning that she wasn't taking responsibility for bringing out the wrong order!) Must say that this was the driest food I had ever eaten and had to order a second coffee to help it down. After that I got a frosty reception. This was a shame as I had eaten here several times before.”

    “Went for Lunch with my friends at the Birdcage, was greated by Phoebe who sat us down to the table. And provided us with Food menus. was then greated with Naomi who gave us our drinks. both girls were lovely and had a very friendly atmosphere to them which made us all feel comfortable. One of my friends is Gluten Free and the menu provided loads of options for her to have. which is a great thing as we sometimes struggle with finding places were we can all eat. Overall, my experience at the birdcage was incredibly positive and i will definitely be re visiting”

    “Lovely place, staff were lovely (phoebe and Connie) food was really nice too! The only reason it’s 4 stars not 5 is I felt there could of been a few more mushrooms on the garlic mushroom dish, we did say this and it was took well by staff though😊 lovely place to sit out in the sun!”

    “What a fantastic dog friendly cafe this is! We visited with our dog on a Sunday lunchtime. I had booked a table in advance for 3 people and our medium sized dog. We were shown to a table in the window. Our dog settled down on the floor and we looked over the menu. A young lady came over to take our order. We went for 2 x steak & Stilton paninis and 1 x bacon & Brie panini, 1 x side of cheesy chips and 1 x Parmesan & truffle oil chips. All of the food was fresh, tasty and delicious. Nothing disappointed. I can certainly recommend the bacon & Brie panini 😋 The cakes looked amazing but we were too full to have any of them. We will definitely be visiting here again and will try the cakes!”
