Al's Diner in South Gloucestershire

Four of us stopped here for a hearty breakfast before embarking on a day of ale and Als Diner served up a great stomach liner. Although not the most aesthetically pleasing, AL’s Diner cooks basic ingredients to perfection. Poached eggs were a winner and we recommend the boxing ring special, crumpets on a breakfast works a treat. Nice service. A solid 4 star establishment.

Was looking for somewhere nearby where I could get some lunch fairly swiftly during the week and read a few positive reviews for Al's diner here and on FB. They were both very friendly and my small breakfast included two bacon, egg, sausage, beans, hash brown, four halves of toast and a cuppa. It was plenty of grub, served within five to ten minutes and so nice I went back the next day for exactly the same :-)

We visited this cafe completely by accident. We had started out very early, pre breakfast. So with 2 children and 3 hungry adults we arrived at what we now know as Al's Diner. At first glance on pulling into the area we thought the sign for 'Cafe Open' was an old sign that hadn't been removed. Thankfully that wasn't the case. Absolutely clean, spacious area, indoor and outdoor eating area, loads of parking spaces. Food was cooked to order, catered for the children so you don't have to stick to the menu. Lovely friendly people. The place started filling up whilst we were there so it must be popular with local people; a hidden gem, hopefully not for too long. Looks like there is some work going on, erecting framework for some type of buildings surrounding the cafe. Don't let that put you off.
