Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

I absolutely love this place. Pre-lock down my colleagues and I would regularly visit. Post-lock down I’ve started using the takeaway delivery. I have had consistently great food and consistently great service. Highly recommend!

We shared a platter, and it was delicious, beautifully cooked and perfect for two. Desserts were a banana split and a strawberry nest with chocolate milkshakes to accompany. Excellent lunch, will definitely be coming again.

Just stopped here for a coffee while my OH was having his hair done. Wanted somewhere that wasn’t a chain as I’m getting a bit fed up with them. The people who run this cafe are incredibly friendly and polite. The seats are comfy and...there’s nice music in the background and BBC News (on mute) on the wall. I didn’t have any food but it all looked and smelled lovely. In the words of Arnold Schwarzenegger, “I’ll be back” :)More

If you're hungry and after a breakfast baguette, without a doubt, THIS IS THE PLACE TO GET IT! The quality of ingredients is exceptional, and the filling portions are very generous, at a really fair price. It was absolutely delicious. My visit was topped off...by a really friendly lady in the shop. The shop itself is also really tastefully done. This all makes for a really happy customer. I will definitely be back!More

There is so much more space, the layout makes the place feel...more open and welcoming. The Swindon history wall really intrueged us too. Also the food was as lovely as ever and quick service!

Where do i start! phoned an order for collection. Order was ready within 10 minutes of stated time - so far so good. Interior of cafe was very well done, smart and clean. That's where the good parts ended. Got home, opened the bag and...- breakfast in a foil container, muffin in a foil container, steak sandwich in a foil container. An absolute no-no for bread products is a sealed foil container. the muffin and sandwich were both soggy. Muffin had a few bits of wafer thin ham. Steak sandwich had a few strips of very thin steak. The breakfast was a total packing disaster. They shoved the lot in the container piled on top of each other - including a loose portion of beans. It looked horrible and didn't taste much better. Egg so over cooked it was almost an omelette. Bacon was overcooked and dirty. sausage was the only good thing in it, they forgot the toast as well. Seriously crunch - you need to rethink your packaging. The food might have been okay if you hadn't packaged it in foil and just thrown it all together. Foil containers make food sweat!!!More

We read the reviews on Trip Advisor and decided to have lunch here last Saturday. From the outset it was very inviting and friendly and the choices were amazing. My wife loves Macaroni cheese, but so often it is made with normal pasta so she...was delighted that this was the real thing and it was delicious. I had the breakfast pancake which was yummy also with a light and fluffy pancake. All in all a very pleasant experience with lovely staff, food and ambiance.More
