    I don’t usually have breakfast at a restaurant, but decided to try Tuck in Cafe with couple of friends to try their breakfast , once we got there a friendly, energetic, and charming Girl named Srwa welcomed us and we asked her to prepare her favourite breakfast , we ended up with a decorated table full of delicious english and eastern breakfast We did enjoy the meal and the coffee we definitely spend more time there and 100% recommend this place Couldn’t add more than 5 stars

    I don't know why this place was recorded as permanently closed. I would be devastated if it was! So I reported this as incorrect, and now Google shows it as being open again. I've been coming here - with friends, colleagues and family for over 10 years. It's one of the few cafes who will happily swap something you don't like on the set menu, for something you do. If the owners are reading this - you'll hopefully know me, as I always have a large breakfast, and swap the black pudding for an extra hash brown. The staff are so lovely - especially Maria - so patient and calm even if a million things are happening at once. Amazing. The food is never swimming in grease - and it's never too dry - they cook bacon in a way that makes me drool and salivate with every bite! The whole plateful is just divine perfection. They seem to know exactly how I like my food (and that's always slightly overcooked). The coffee is pretty lush too - you don't get a skin on the top - it's a really nice blend. Oh - and the price is right too - I spent £13 on two meals and 3 cappuccinos. Look how much you get!!! But beware - this is a *very* popular cafe - if you don't time it right - you might have to wait for a table - but they'll squeeze you in somehow!

    We had the set breakfast at Tuck in café this morning and not only was the service great but so was the food. The cafe was clean welcoming and such a lovely smile on the lady that took our order would definitely go back

    This is a cracking local cafe that does exactly what it says on the tin - breakfast and lunch with a lovely menu that is cooked almost on front of you! The food was great and came out piping hot and as can be seen from photos - portions are outstanding for the prices. The staff are lovely and judging by the conversations, many of the people coming here are regulars, which is not surprising for the welcome, quality and value for money.
