👍 Sitting outside is a lovely place for a bite to eat with views of the canal boats. The menu is basic but its enough. The ice cream scoops are very small for £2 People often mention people, good, elderly, staff,

    I had taken a group of elderly ladies and gentlemen with dementia out for the day and had taken a very small picnic with us due to the expense of their being 11 of us in the group and the different speciality dietary needs, we had all got settle around the outside area where there was one other customer sat enjoying the sun and a cup of coffee, the owner of the cafe was extremely rude and abruptly told us that that we couldn't sit there! I explained that I wanted to get these elderly people a cup of tea and a slice of cake to go with their sandwiches and he rudely shouted u can have a take away cup!! I explained that I didn't want a take away cup as the difficulty for these people holding onto a paper cup can become quite difficult and that I wanted a proper cup with a saucer for these people all in their late 80s early 90s, yet he refused and told us to move over to the picnic tables that had no shade and these elderly people were then exposed to blinding sun, this man was so rude and when I told him I would be writing this review on his mistreatment of these elderly people he went on to tell me to include all my details as he would then come after me!!! I have never in all my life been treated or had my elderly group of people treated in such a manner and i am extremely upset with the way this man spoke to us!! He will be elderly one day let's hope someone has the kindness and respect for him in a way that he refused to give to us!! My ladies and gentlemen that were able to understand him were extremely upset with his treatment and very disgusted! There was no other customers sat outside so we were not taking seats for other customers, we were obviously not good enough to enjoy his outside area, needless to say we didn't buy a takeaway cup of tea and we certainly will never buy one from this rude man again

    I ate breakfast which was good but too small compared to the price. Quiet, peaceful, nice view from the garden. In the background you can hear animals such as pigs, sheep, chickens, etc.

    Set in a nice museum, although we couldn't see any signs at the car park side.Anyway we ordered 2 meals off the breakfast menu.there was possibly 8 people sat down,not busy for the size of cafe,but we waited about 20 mins for our food,which i thought was long. But by the body language of the staff it was about right.The food was nice and they were polite,but next time ill take a rocket lol

    What a wonderful place, Dementia Friendly too. I have had many events there supporting people living with Dementia. Very friendly staff, caring and accommodating to meet everyone’s needs. The food delicious and fresh. Highly recommend anyone to visit and pre arrange groups attending. Everyone is made so welcome. Well done Brian and the Team supporting our communities ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

    Surprisingly good and good value Christmas lunch with my mother in law and her daughters. The place itself is nothing to shout about except for the possibility of walking along the canal but the lunch was very good. Freshly cooked, nicely served. Lovely piece of salmon, really crisp but light roast potatoes, freshly prepared vegetables and mine pies that weren't out of a packet. But I now find out you can only pay by cash! No credit or debit cards. But it Is quite reasonable so you don't need to raid the ATM beforehand.

    Sadly, the owners failed to let customers know there was a party coming in so several customers whom had waited patiently, were refused service.

    Had father's day afternoon tea today. Delivered to my door by friendly staff. Couldn't finish it all but saved scone and cream for later. Really good value and tastes great. Thanks to Bridge View Cafe.

    I recently ordered some catering for 20 people. Due to it being last minute I was struggling to find anyone who wasn't booked. So glad I found bridge view cafe, I asked for what they thought was best for 20 people and it was amazing beautiful food. Me and my guests are already talking about using there services again. Thank you so much

    A delicious afternoon tea delivered on time. An amazing array of sandwiches and wonderful scones. We hardly touched the cakes we were so full. We saved them for later! Wonderful value, in fact I think you should charge more. Thank you. Jennifer Buckland

    First time my husband and I have visited here. We decided to treat ourselves to a large Sunday breakfast and we can assure you we were not disappointed. The food was excellent, cooked to order, beautifully presented and tasted amazing. We highly recommend and will definitely visit again in the near future. Date of our visit 1st October 2023. See you again Tony & Marjorie Lowe

    Food wasn't great, extremely greasy and bland taste, table service was poor. Staff mixing orders up delivering our food to the wrong table, then instead of passing us our food, they just left on the opposite side of our table. Very loud atmosphere with a women screaming at her kids and staff doing nothing at all to defuse the situation arising. It's supposed to be a nice family friendly environment with a complimentary service along with good food. Sadly not. The museum joined to it. However, was fantastic.

    A nice little cafe good menu meals made fresh, so sometimes a bit of a wait but not a problem when the food is hot and tasty.
