Customer Review Summary
Rita's breakfast fry up draws the most praise, described by reviewers as delicious and cheap, with one pricing it around six pounds and another totaling a vegetarian breakfast and a Rita's breakfast with two teas at just over fifteen pounds. Close behind, the full English and a general breakfast plate come up repeatedly as hearty and freshly made to order, with the coffee also singled out as good. Several reviewers highlight quick service and being seated fast even when busy, and one mentions staff checking in before customers left. Payment comes up as a genuine point of confusion: one reviewer cheered that card payment is now accepted, another confirmed a card machine, but one visitor reports cash only was enforced and card payment refused. Reviewers repeatedly describe the atmosphere as down-to-earth and traditional rather than pretentious, and one specifically praises how well the cafe looks after older and less able customers.

“The food here was delicious and very competitively priced. Staff were pleasant and although it was busy, I was soon served and there were plenty of tables. I will definitely eat there again next time I am in the area.”

“Enjoyed a breakfast with my girlfriend, we got a table straight away fortunately as it was busy. They do have a card machine thankfully. We were asked before leaving if everything was ok.”

“🥳 They now take payment by card! Woo-hoo! 🥳 This place is a firm favourite of mine. It's as working class as it comes, and I mean that in a good way. You'll not get any pretentious nonsense here, just good down-to-earth grub. My last visit was, for two of us (April 2026), vegetarian breakfast, a Rita's breakfast, two mugs of tea, for £15.20. Can't argue with that. Paid by card too! 😊”

“Cracking breakfast. Look after their older and less able customers really well. Well worth supporting”
