“Just had breakfast at Butchers Café in Gorse Hill and it was awesome. Quality food, fantastic staff, a really nice local vibe, and reasonable prices too. Best breakfast I’ve had in Swindon in a long time — highly recommend!”
- Brice Leonard
“Très bonne découverte avant de visiter le Château de Windsor. Le plus grand petit déjeuner est si copieux qu’on a eu peur en voyant arriver l’assiette. La qualité des aliments est au rendez-vous également.”
- Peter de Meteor
“I had the large breakfast with bubble 'n' squeak (I'm always glad when this traditional carbohydrate accompaniment is served, rather than the U.S. interloper - hash browns. I always thought hash browns were sort-of 'space cakes' available in Amsterdam coffee shops anyway) The food was good quality, especially the sausages & bacon, & I was pleased both fried eggs had yolks of just the right runniness. The cafe was busy, so there was an understandable, although not too long, wait - but we were offered (& accepted) extra mugs of tea. Oh, & Bristol Rovers earned a creditable 1-1 draw at Swindon Town!”
- Trudy Reynolds
“Came here on way to Hereford after a Brittany Ferries overnight crossing. Very plain and understated... but had great cooked breakfast, experienced lovely friendly service and clean loo's 😉 Highly Recommended !”
