    The staff are sooo lovely here! Can’t believe how friendly everyone is. We stopped by on the way home from Cornwall and this seemed to be the only place where the kitchen didn’t close at 2pm - and good for them, because they’re getting all the business that their competitors are missing out on for closing early. I ordered their chicken gyros and it was absolutely delicious! My husband ordered the ham and cheese panini but he said they were a bit too heavy on the mustard. Portion sizes were decent - both came with a nice serving of salad. Would totally visit this place again if we’re in the area!

    Had breakfast here this morning on back of other reviews. Was excellent. Really good quality food, well cooked and good service. Coffee was best I’ve had in a long time and wife had pot of tea which gave her four cups of tea. Lovely setting and really nice cafe. Would add my recommendation to others and would definitely call again if in area

    The conference facilities are good - well laid out with good acoustics and layout. The food was ok, good quality but not exciting. The location is easy to find. There is ample free car parking on site. I recommend Monks Yard as a good conference venue.

    Really lovely venue, especially if you can sit outside. Looks to have facilities for thise with access needs and pushchairs etc. Lovely friendly customer service. Only missing a fifth star as I couldn't see any gluten free options in the treats, but didn't ask either to be fair (wasn't eating this time, but I always look).

    This is a lovely place with beautiful friendly staff. Comfortable and relaxing with very good outside seating front and back. Excellent clean toilets Only problem was the food; dry tasteless vegetarian sausages, hard dry bacon (I like it succulent), thick gloopy sauce in the baked beans. Hash browns and mushrooms very good though!

    I had a very nice wrapp. Freshly made and plenty on the plate. I also had a lovely homemade cake . Service fast enough. The only thing is the ceiling being hight it resonates a lot, so not ideal when the place is full as it can be quite noisy. Big car park. I would recommend to book in advance as it was practically full a Wednesday at 12.

    Wonderful first experience. Eggs bread was delicious. Smoked salmon and scrambled egg.. a good choice. Good sized portions

    Second visit to Monks Yard and other will not be the last. Spent a very relaxing lunch break with my wife and one of my brothers and his wife. Excellent food and service. Give it a go you will not be disappointed.

    I came yesterday to Anna,s 80th birthday tea and everything was special. The atmosphere, the food (better than at the Ivy in Bristol) the friendliness of the staff, the whole place. Thank you

    Great place to eat with a good selection at good prices. The food is fresh, the staff lovely and there's plenty of parking.

    Came here for a birthday lunch and we were so impressed! The paninis were absolutely delicious and the drinks were nice and hot. I think we’ve found our new favourite cafe!

    Big shout out for the new autumn menu - you don't get more seasonal than Maple Roasted Pumpkin Salad with a Maple and Hazelnut Latte chaser! The super-abundant ploughman's is my preferred go-to - so much tasty salad along with the cheese and ham - and our seven-strong party were equally thrilled by the paninis (Buffalo Chicken, and Bacon-Brie-Cranberry). There was a great buzz in the cafe while we were there, and lots of energy. The staff were friendly and delightful, as always, and the food arrived quickly despite it being a busy lunchtime. Plenty of parking, and one member of our group was grateful for the copious disability parking right by the cafe.

    Really delicious food, with menu changes for the seasons which makes it a nice place to return to. The paninis are always a fantastic staple. Great atmosphere, staff and lovely little shop on site too. Busy at peak times!

    Met my Dad here for a morning cuppa. I had probably the best cheese scone I have ever tasted. Lovely staff, very welcoming
