    Decent food, friendly, but a little hard to find, still worth a visit though.

    Wow, what a little gem!! So much food!! We had a massive jacket potato with cheese, coleslaw and beans and a good size side salad with a latte and a coke!! My daughter couldn't finish hers!! The food and staff were second to none, sparkling clean surroundings, discount if you work local and a take away service, call in even if its to look at the extensive menu, we will definitely be back!!

    The Quays Cafe Bar has provided a great corporate lunch today. The feedback from the attendees was very positive. Plenty of food, well presented and varied sandwich, pastries selection. Promptly delivered at agreed time. Would highly recommend !

    Brilliant place with lovely food. We had a private party here and were very well looked after. Perfect venue.

  • 1/5 Pent A. 2 years ago on Google
    Really terrible service, possibly the worst I've encountered. No greeting or even acknowledgement upon entry, ignored for some time before being sullenly asked what we wanted, no eye contact at any point during our visit. Extremely overpriced for what is essentially greasy spoon food. The advertised 'steak burger' was a frozen burger. We requested no bread or cheese because of dietary requirements and only got the poor quality burger and overdone bacon on a plate with mediocre, unseasoned sweet potato fries. None of the advertised lettuce, tomato and salad were present. By far one of the worst dining experiences I've had the displeasure of enduring. Would recommend avoiding.

    I have just had home steak pie, chunky chips and vegetables with gravy. It was nicest food I have had for a long time. It was hot, nicely presented and the service was excellent.

  • 5/5 Tim H. 2 years ago on Google
    Lovely place, friendly staff. Recently had a steak burger there which was the best burger and chips I've had for a long time. I've been in for lunch a number of times now and have never been disappointed.

  • 5/5 Neville P. 2 years ago on Google
    Good to see them open again, under new management. Nice food, and with options outside the usual run of the mill. But -- was it just a freak busy day? -- they were rushed off their feet and it was quite a wait.

  • 5/5 Peter H. 2 years ago on Google
    An absolute gem of a cafe Warm welcome and excellent value. Great food and the wait was negligible. As a long distance lorry driver I think I can safely say that this is one of the best I’ve visited.

    Called into this Cafe whilst visiting on a narrow boat. So good we used it for the full three days of our stop. Even got a take away to enjoy on the rest of our trip. Lovely food, lovely service.

👍 Food was delicious and the portions are reasonable. Service was good during our visit. Décor is very wild West and there are some good touches. Music was pretty loud inside and needs to be turned down. Overall a good experience
