BLD Restaurant & Café in Forest Heath

Not a place I’d be visiting again,food was ok and so was the service but the cost is extremely high 2 bacon and mushroom rolls and a white coffee come to £18.40 that’s disgusting

The food taste amazing And the food is cook from fresh. And the price of the food is resnoble. And i will come and eat agine.

Had an exceptional breakfast yesterday. Service was amazing. Really lovely attentive staff. Spotlessly clean. Really good value. Thank you and well done x

Quite simply, excellent food, great service, and well worth the price.

This is like a second home and family to my wife and myself. !! The owners and staff are so friendly, and we have a great laugh every time... (at least twice a week) when we visit. And importantly the food is great and good value..all cooked at the time. FAB.Thanks Figgy and Ali and all the other friendly staff.😍

Very good English breakfast for the price :)

The food was great. It was warm good sized portion. It was nice. Definitely work a bag for the nice decent lunch

Was about to go in for breakfast until I looked through the window and saw the only guy working picking his nose in the kitchen . Put me right off . Dirty people

Beware of hidden costs as wanted grated cheese on top of chilli carne and slices of onions on salad. When the bill came I questioned it why was it more than usual, he said extra £3 for cheese and onions also £2.50 for a can of Fanta which was absurd so won’t be visiting there again

Nice food but a little expensive. Staff where nice. Cafe was clean and tidy.

Absolutely vile food. Scones squeaked when u cut it. Some weird cake smelt like mop water. And what the heck was the stale brick textured muffins doing being served up. There more like rocks. Gross poor hygiene.

Breakfast was over priced I asked for raw black pudding the employee wrote it down and said she could do that I didn’t get raw I got cooked I didn’t get told while ordering that the black pudding was £2 extra it said fried bread and I got toast well I’m not coming back

Staff were friendly food was not good Burnt roast beef frozzen vegetables no taste in gravy mash wasn't bad

They ran out of pasta for my meatballs and said they would cook fresh spaghetti for me but that came cold the price was not very good I had to pay extra for a little bit of cheese sprinkled on top it was £1.00 extra wich wasn't mentioned when ordering so I wont be returning

Totally surprised and hard to believe the other reviews as we regretted going to this café. When we arrive nobody acknowledged us, we sat down waited sometime for our order to be taken, Ordering an omelette meal off the menu they even got that wrong and forgot a few items off their own Listed items in the meal. To plates were adult plates that arrived and my plate was a kiddies plate And had to ask for a larger plate and they came and gave me a second small plate. We asked for water which never arrived. My colleague requested for tomorrow catch up the waitress came and gave us a bottle and waited to take it back and said they were running short. I asked If they had bought the business recently as the Service was awful and was told they have been there for 10 years If that was the case the ship would run like clockwork. This place reminded me of a 70s comedy sitcom Something like ‘Faulty Towers’

A little bit pricey but food was lovely the breakfast was well presented cant fault it other than the price been abit high

Popped in today for a drink as it was cold outside. Hubby decided to have ham eggs and chips. Ham all chopped up. Not the best presentation. I only wanted a piece of toast. 1 slice of toast, not even thick bread and a spoonful of marmalade in a pot £2. Not great value. First and last time in there.

Family run restaurant, staff are all friendly and helpful. Breakfast, lunch and dinner menu available with plenty of choice. Is very reasonably priced and food is homemade and very good

Use to have very good food and prices, however the food and service has gone down hill. food tastes re heated, overpriced and genuinely unclean area

We decided to wander around Newmarket, pop to the pub and to choose the BLD Restaurant and Café in The Rookery Centre for late lunch. Tables were spotlessly clean, and done so between different customers, service was friendly, polite and swift and the food/drinks really very nice indeed. Filled baguette, scrambled eggs on toast, Club Sandwich & chips, tea and coffees followed by wedges of gorgeous cake and cheesecake with more drinks. The menu caters for varied tastes and appetites and is defo great value for money... we'll be going back without a doubt. Thanks to all the staff at this deservedly popular café.

Great place with a reliable quality and level of service. We regularly go for a good cooked breakfast, and our daughter loves the spaghetti carbonara. We always leave feeling satisfied

Treated myself to a BLD big breakfast, Cappuccino and freshly squeezed orange juice after my eye examination. Absolutely perfect😋

One of The best breakfast What ive ever had. Good quality ingredients

Sat there 10 minutes, other people walked in there orders were taken, we were ignored.

Don’t eat here, food is okay but it’s so over priced it’s ridiculous! We had 4 breakfasts with 3 orange juices and a soft drink and it was £60!!! The service was awful as well as when questioned the price I was told ‘everything has gone up’ yes because of greedy people like you charging £5.50 for a glass of orange juice! Won’t ever get my custom again

If zero was an option.. Staff jumped on us straight away to take our drinks order before we'd had a chance to look not overly friendly either. I had a breakfast, hash browns were cold in areas, toast not toasted, tasteless. My partner had fish and chips, fish looked like it had been cooked five times and bought from Iceland squeeked when he cut it and cheery. Came away feeling sick and hungry. It's a shame as IV heard great things but very dissatisfied. Worst place IV ever been

Good food served here by friendly staff. Coffee excellent as well. I can recommend the muffins with avocado and bacon but there are a variety of breakfasts, lunches and scrumptious cakes.

The food was excelent , the proprieters very friendly all in all a very pleasant experience

Excellent choice, unhurried service, great food, highly recommended

This place feels cozy as soon as you walk in, the service is fast and feels caring as well! The food now was the best, I got the Newmarket Breakfast since it was my first time here and everything on that plate was delicious! I even cleaned up the plate, it was a good amount of food to not feel very full and over stuffed, it was a good amount! The hot latte by itself is also great, good balance of espresso and milk, no bitter taste at all. 10/10 need to bring more of my friends and family here, best 1st experience.

Food was good, forgot my order on 2 occasions. No atmosphere.

More breakfast choices on the menu then in other places The staff was very friendly and the food was great and fairly priced Will visit again

Lovely food can't fault it. A little over priced now especially for lunches!

Friendly, helpful lovely staff. Great choice of meals to pick from. 😋

Fast and friendly service.. Food was lovely thanks again!!

Went for lunch, busy but did not have long , food v- good service and staff very friendly. Throughly recommended.

I used to come here a lot and really rated it. It's been nearly a year and yesterday went in as I was in Newmarket. The staff are still as nice as usual, but the food was awful , and the cafe was dirty. Even the menus were filthy. Can definitely get a cheaper breakfast elsewhere that's better quality and clean environment. It's such a shame they've gone down hill.

Been walking past this place many times thought I try and was very impressed with it all. I would recommend this to try for everyone

Overpriced for the quality of food. Ordered a burger and omelette… £21!! Sandwiches were around £7 on the menu! Staff constantly coming up to us every 30 seconds not giving us a full chance to look at the menu and the food was very poor quality. We left hungry and £21 down. Not to mention the tasteless meal.

Only commenting on the service as I’ve never had the chance to try the food—I tried ordering on either Deliveroo or UberEats a couple times now and my order is always instantly rejected with no explanation.

Lovely food, brilliant service.

Price not equal to food. On my plate of salad i found a bug crowling around. What it was disgusting. Staff are not welcome at all. face and body language, showing angry mood. Never go again and never gonna Recommend for no one.

Popped in for the first time today at my daughter's request, what a absolutely disgusting place! Staff didn't know what they were doing, food that came out was disgusting and definitely off! Sent it back after one month full, and then had a full blown argument with them because they wanted us to pay for the food we returned. Avoid, Avoid Avoid!!!

Been in here almost everyday over the past 3 weeks and order the same thing everytime, food is always hot and cooked perfectly staff are quick and friendly and the place is very clean

Fantastic cafe with an extensive menu, highly recommend the Breakfast

The best in Newmarket, nice staff and the food is very good.

Highly recommended. Great food excellent service. I want to thank the lovely thoughtful and helpful staff your kindness made a huge difference. Thank you so much

Ordered via deliveroo. Ordered and paid for extras received none, when called the restaurant, we have been treated shockingly rude. Also the food itself wasn’t very good either. I have never seen so overcooked scrambled egg in my life. Not to even mention greasy french toast. SHOCKING SERVICE AND BAD FOOD. Thank you for the experience guys. Well done.

Went in for lunch today the service was slow and the staff quite rude except for one lovely young lady. There was 3 of us 2 meals came 5 minutes before the 3rd and then chips followed after. Nobody checked back on us the food was awful the jacket potato tasted like had been reheated several times.When we went to pay the bill we were just told the price no how was your meal etc and no manners at all. Would absolutely not go back again or recommend if that's the service they offer😡

First visit today for breakfast. Firstly we had a warm welcome, the cafe is very clean, there are lots of breakfast choices and options to customise. The coffee is excellent, and there were lots if choices for hot drinks and cold drinks. I had the eggs Benedict, it is my favourite breakfast treat and it didn't disappoint! The presentation was beautiful and not what I expected, I added extra hash browns and I'm pretty sure I won't need to eat again until tea time. There is a specials board and it had lots of delicious home made lunch and dinner options such as ribs, lasagne, kebabs, cottage pie. I wish I would have paid more attention to other items on the menu but I have a one track mind when I'm hungry! The toilets were clean with a baby change table and the cafe is spacious so you wouldn't need to worry about getting a pram in! I will be back! I thoroughly enjoyed myself!

Fantastic friendly service, great range of delicious food and the cakes and smoothies are lovely! Thanks guys. Will be back for sure!

Service was friendly and polite, served pretty quickly. Had a BLD Big Breakfast and it was spot on 👍 Reasonably priced for £8.50. The only thing I may say is, Charge £9 and throw black pudding into your big breakfast then it has the lot

Nice food & lovely selection of cakes. Some items overpriced. £6 for toasted cheese sandwich!

I absolutely love this place! The food is amazing and the menu is endless! I’m a HUGE fan of their spicy chicken panini and you can’t go wrong with any of the smoothies either. They also serve cocktails and the most delicious cheesecakes…. Why wouldn’t anyone like this place??

We had lovely home made fruit scones with jam, a fruit flapjack, also a toasted cheese and mushroom sandwich. Very nice. Nice friendly staff. Well worth a visit

Good quality food. Well presented.

Highly recommend this cafe would rate 10 stars if I could. Staff are lovely and polite made us feel welcome. Food is fantastic. Really clean. Would definitely come here again.

Food good, coffee nice - needs more to fill a fat lad like myself though

Fabulous varied menu of delicious delights, made with good quality ingredients. Great service....quick, attentive & efficient. The BEST coffee Newmarket has to offer by far.

Good service and a good breakfast at a fair price. Had a nice, cozy atmosphere with very quick service. Great for a quick bite of good breakfast

Friendly staff clean and tidy shop good value for money

Lovely food. Reasonable price. Great portions and lovely staff

Just had an amazing breakfast my daughter had a chicken dinner and wow I would say it’s the best cooked breakfast I’ve ever tasted lovely and clean mine and warm doesn't smell greasy enjoyed everything I had thanks kerrie from barnsley

Great food and friendly Service 5*****. We had breakfast here today. I had the Newmarket breakfast (Newmarket sausages) and the wife breakfast omelette. Both were served very quickly, hot and well presented. Would recommend and will return.

Food service and price all good.

Tasty food, not high prices, many sets on the menu. Breakfasts, lunches, dinners. Desserts and drinks. Delicious coffee and tea. Nice service. Cozy atmosphere. We didn't expect to eat such delicious food, even though, as the name suggested, it was more of a cafe. If anyone hesitates, I recommend it. You will definitely find something for yourself there. They serve pork, chicken, llama meat, beef and fish. The menu also includes dishes for vegetarians. E.g. Spagetti with vegetables. I recommend! :)

Called in today at 12.35. Our order was taken practically straight away and the food came within 15mins. We all had sandwiches which were beautifully presented and tasty. All the staff were friendly and helpful. Would definitely return.

This is a place with the best cakes and desserts , I have ever try the coffee is also amazing,Ali an his wife an very kind hearted welcoming people , the customer service is great price wise very accessible 😍 will recommend every one to stop here an have a dessert an some great coffee..

Popped in here on the off-chance and wasn't disappointed at all. The staff are really friendly, the service was fantastic and fast and the food was great. I think this will quickly become a regular place to visit during the week!

Absolutely rubbish. Overpriced. Ordered a chocolate milkshake and it turned out to be chocolate milk, asked for more ice cream and came out exactly the same. Ordered a chicken club, kids sausage meal and burger and the quality was shocking! Burger was burger van quality. Complained and got a generic apology. Already feeling sickly and just left. Won’t be returning!!!

Very clean, friendly staff, good food and drink

Is the best place whit fresh food and nice staff in the town

Fantastic coffee,so much better than the mass served outlets around and better priced too. Superb food and very attentive staff . Worth taking a detour for food and drinks.

Lovely food, polite staff. I would recommend this place

Absolutely love this place, friendly staff, amazing food and a clean environment, prices are reasonable and a wide variety on the menu front,

Nice clean and good range on menus staff very polite and quick

Friendly staff and food always a good standard. I love the breakfast.

I visit this cafe twice a week the food is lovely an staff always happy I would highly recommended this cafe

never been there. do not want to go there, follow my insta @kaszamaksym and visit my website kasza.xyz thanks

Always a smile, coffee & toasted teacake great.

Very nice coffe shop ....nice service ...

Excellent breakfast, pleasant staff. Clean and tidy.

Always good food. Staff are friendly.

Service was quick and food was hot and tasty.

Just had the best cup of coffee in Newmarket . No I wasn’t in Nero, Starbucks or Costa I was in this sweet Cafe. This is my Dads and his Partners favourite cafe and I can see why. I went to meet them this morning to have a chat and that’s when I had the coffee. None of this Grande or a half a pint of coffee , this coffee was it a proper cup and it was made to perfection. You could tell from just looking at it that it was going to be good. The Crema on top was perfect 👌. The owner and his wife take a real pride in everything they do at the Cafe and the menu looks really good.looking forward to trying the lamb moussaka I think it will be pretty good. So my advise to everyone is just pop in and try a coffee I don’t think you will be disappointed.

Lovely food lots of choice, great service and very clean

Staff very friendly. Food was very good

Very good. Not much choice for LCHF or wheat/gluten free, but otherwise great and very friendly 😊

Good service but very expensive desserts that looked fantastic but sadly lacked the taste to reflect cost

Full English was great! Coffee even better! Ignore all the previous reviews! Hit the spot

Is the first time I eat here. I ordered calamari and my partner sirloin medium ,. The calamari have all taste ..but not of calamari and the steak come medium well, we eat ... but never again .

Always very friendly and helpful.

Good club sandwiches, nice inside but toilets could do with a refurb.4 star if toilets were nicer.
