  “Visited for lunch with a friend. Friendly and approachable staff, lovely buzzy vibe in newly decorated restaurant, we sat outside watching the bowling. My goats cheese salad was AMAZING, huge portion, fresh and SO tasty. Will definitely be coming here again!”

  “Having read some poor reviews I was a bit hesitant coming here. As it was the service was friendly and efficient. I'm fussy about coffee and it's a very personal thing, I'd rate it 4 out of 5 which is good. Coffee, cake and dog ice-cream came to just over £10, so average price. The gardens and beach across the road are perfect for the elderly dog I was looking after. I wouldn't hesitate to make this a regular place. There's plenty of parking in the road.”

  “Had the roast dinner today .it looked awful but gave it the benefit of the doubt ! Nope it was horrid ....dry hard burnt Yorkshires old wet shriveled roast potatoes ( not ) over boiled faded yellow peas , shrivelled burnt carrots and parsnips .red cabbage was nice and so was the broccoli cheese .I square cold chunk of stuffing and 2 good portions of beef ( as tough as old boots ) the dog is happy though .no photo as I didn't think to take a couple .good job I didn't take my insulin (t1 diabetic ) hubby said don't bother to complain as it was only about £18 ish each !!!! So unfortunately I didn't. The food in there is always lovely ,hot ,good quality but this was the worst ever roast I've had .the table next door left alot of theires too ! I so wish I'd have gone for a refund or an exchange”

  “It's a shame , but Marine Gardens cafe is starting to get quite expensive. My daughter got a take away coffee last week , expensive £4.00 for a small coffee, same size as a baby chino. You need to look at your prices.”

  “Was a little unfortunate that the chef burnt toast or something and the fire alarms were going off. Doors and windows had to be opened to let the smoke out. I understand that this can happen which would be fine if they had a proper plan in place for this situation. As my coffee and myself went cold. Took over an hour for 2 small breakfasts to arrive and then they were cold , no one thought to close the doors? A disappointing experience, but we will be back to try again as it was busy being the first day back open and burning of toast does happen. I think on a normal operating dayit would have been great going by the previous reviews.”

  “A Gem Worth Discovering Rarely does one encounter an establishment that so effortlessly combines simplicity with excellence. From the moment I arrived, it was evident that this restaurant values both substance and subtlety. The coffee—rich, smooth, and expertly brewed—was nothing short of exceptional. It possessed that elusive balance: bold enough to awaken the senses, yet refined enough to savour slowly. Clearly, someone here understands the science of extraction and the art of flavour. Service was another highlight. Attentive without being intrusive, the staff conducted themselves with quiet confidence and genuine warmth. It's a rare pleasure to be looked after by people who anticipate needs before they're voiced. Equally impressive was the cleanliness—every surface gleamed, every corner maintained to a near-clinical standard, yet the atmosphere remained inviting rather than sterile. Cleanliness, when so well executed, becomes part of the dining experience itself. The location, too, deserves mention. Tranquil, almost meditative, it provided a welcome pause from the usual clatter of daily life. It's the kind of place where thoughts can breathe and conversations can flow without interruption. In short, this is not just a restaurant—it’s a masterclass in how calm, quality, and care can elevate the ordinary into something memorable. I shall return”

  “Very enjoyable lunch sat outside in the sunshine watching the game taking place on the bowling green. Service was excellent and staff were brilliant. I recommend the Luxury Brockwurst hotdog with bacon, cheese sauce and fried onions. Really enjoyed it.”
