This restaurant used to be a nice place, but the last two visits were truly terrible. I ordered a sausage sandwich for myself and a children's portion for my son, both without butter. I was assured this was no problem. However, both sandwiches came out the same: average size in a cheap roll (rather than the previous big granary roll) with poor quality sausages that were barely cooked and smothered in butter. When I mentioned this at payment, I was offered a discount. Despite this, I still paid nearly £16 for the meal (including two drinks). I have been a loyal customer for years, but I will not be returning. It's a shame that Bedale is lacking in good cafes, as this place is certainly not th...

My husband enjoyed his cheese scone, and I found the calamari to be tasty as well. However, I was disappointed by the portion size of only 4 rings of calamari and a small pot of mayonnaise without any garnish for £7.95. I believe a few added details would have enhanced the overall experience. While I am willing to pay for quality food, I do not appreciate feeling like I am being overcharged.
Welcome by the friendly male owner, we ordered hot chocolate, latte, garlic mushrooms, fruit scone calamari. Everything came quickly, hot chocolate a little too sweet for me and the portion is too small, fruit scone is not nice, not the worst I ever had but it’s not nice, garlic mushroom ok, calamari also nice but only 4 in a portion (more expensive than a restaurant).
I ordered a ham sandwich . The staff member said it’s real cooked ham . I then was given two slices of white thin cut already sleeved bread with 3 pieces of the cheapest processed packet ham . This cost £5.45 on its own . A few leaves of salad from a bag accompanied it soaked in dressing . Tea for £2.25 was fine , nothing special Book a table now
This place was one of the best in Bedale but went slightly downhill a while back. I had heard the owner was away travelling. However he must be back because we visited here last week and the food my friend and I had was really delicious and the pot of tea was great! Lovely seating arrangements and reasonable priced.
The high tea experience at this restaurant was absolutely delightful. The presentation was top-notch, with great attention to detail. The service was fabulous and I couldn't find a single fault. Just make sure to book your reservation 48 hours in advance, and you won't be disappointed.
This is a really friendly, welcoming cafe with good, tasty food. It’s dog friendly, and our dog was welcomed with a few treats. I’m happy to recommend this place to everyone.
