Quick info
About Tablez Cafe Bistro
On S Gate in Sleaford, Tablez Cafe Bistro is a cafe with a menu built around egg dishes from different culinary traditions, including Eggs Mediterranean, Turkish or Istanbul Eggs, Eggs Anatolia, and French Eggs on sourdough. The Garden Breakfast and the Tablez Breakfast, an English breakfast, sit alongside these, and a Turkish salad is a recurring order. Gluten free pancakes are on offer, and vegan and vegetarian diners can request substitutions. Seating takes in a balcony area, and the format is walk-in, with orders taken and food brought to the table rather than table service throughout. The room fills up at weekend lunchtimes and on bank holidays, and pre-booking is suggested for those times.

Customer Review Summary
Breakfast is the clear draw, with reviewers repeatedly naming the Turkish and Istanbul Eggs, Eggs Mediterranean, and the Garden Breakfast as standouts, alongside eggs benedict and gluten free pancakes for those with dietary needs. Vegan and vegetarian diners note staff who swapped menu items and made accommodations, including a matcha latte made to order. Coffee and smoothies also draw praise, and several describe generous portion sizes and a lively atmosphere. Weekend and holiday crowds are a recurring theme: multiple reviewers mention long waits for food or being seated and then forgotten, with one describing a birthday dinner where plates went uncleared and a dessert menu never arrived despite trying to flag down staff. Others accept the wait given busy conditions, and some suggest booking ahead, especially for weekend meals. One reviewer specifically warns against visiting on bank holidays after service slipped that day.

“Fabulous breakfasts. Probably my favourite breakfast of all time is their Istanbul Eggs, so delicious. My Husband loves their Tablez Breakfast (English breakfast and he asks for an extra egg and sausage)… Fabulous quality ingredients. Great atmosphere and very attentive staff. An excellent restaurant for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Best to book especially at the weekend.”

“Just came across this place yesterday and it is amazing. Great atmosphere, friendly staff and fabulous food. I had French eggs on sour dough and my husband had Anatolian eggs on sough dough. They were devine. We will be back. Can't recommend it highly enough.”

“Went for an evening meal last night for my birthday with my wife and 2 teenage kids. Food was nice but have to say the service was terrible, having been seated on a balcony on our own we seemed to be forgotten about, firstly waiting ages for our plates to be cleared and then sat trying to catch the waitresses eye for a dessert menu - in the end we gave up, paid and left disappointed! The waitresses and bar staff seemed more interested in laughing and joking amongst theirselves showing each other their phones and lounging in the free seats at the tables. We won’t be going back in a hurry which is a shame as the food was lovely.”

“Update May 2026 Very busy on this bank holiday Monday but the food was still good. Service not as good as usual, but was acceptable. Tbh I felt sorry for the staff, especially the chefs, but if you want to make money this is the day to do it! Anyway, mental note made to avoid bank holidays here! Update Aug 2025 I tried the Garden Breakfast today and it was superb, and I'm not even a veggie! Been coming here for the past 4 years and the quality of the food remains consistently high. Eggs Mediterranean is my go to dish with a couple of hash browns. Service is also noteworthy, with friendly and efficient servers. Can get busy so be warned!”

“We came for brunch today and as a vegan with Omni friends and children it's so hard to find places that can or will accommodate me and them together. You swapped out your eggs Anatolia for me and made me the most delicious matcha latte. The price and quality of your food is second to none and all the staff are so lovely. Thank you for this little slice of wonderful in Sleaford 😁”
