Customer Review Summary
Breakfast draws the most consistent praise, with reviewers repeatedly pointing to the set meals, poached eggs cooked to a runny yolk, and the black pudding as standouts, alongside one mention of the New York Breakfast with waffles and golden syrup. Several note that staff will cook items to taste, such as well-done sausages or extra-crispy bacon. Service is described again and again as friendly and polite, prices as reasonable, and the space as clean including the toilets, though one longtime visitor mentions the high-ceilinged room can feel a little chilly in winter. Multiple reviewers say they return regularly and would recommend it, with one noting they keep coming back after becoming a known regular greeted warmly on arrival.

“We visit this cafe a couple of times each month. Now we are known we usually get a friendly greeting. Britannia Café is a cavernous space in the corner of an old building with high ceilings and large plate glass windows on two sides which can make it a little chilly in the winter. But a coat sorts that out. It's not THAT cold. The food is good café-style grub at reasonable prices and the service is generally friendly. The place is kept clean, including the loos - always an important factor in a place serving food. Always happy to visit.”

“Went in for breakfast early on a Saturday morning and ordered a set meal, coffee and toast. Everything arrived quickly and they'll cook things to your taste, so if you like your sausages well done or bacon extra crispy, just ask. …”
