Buddies Cafe in Oadby and Wigston

Always a great meal. One of my stop offs for a bit of food.

Lovely little cafe, perfect for a cooked breakfast.

Wow waited 45 minutes for a couple of cobs. People coming in after us were served their food befour us. When we finally got our food it was under cooked !! Made two of us feel ill. Used to be a regular here but wont be coming back !! Waitresses were lovely and even they were embarrassed by the service from the owners. Really gone down hill since new owners . 45 minutes for a cob is madness that makes you ill after eating avoid !

Poor communication skills from the whole team. Stood waiting to order food. After 15mins to be then told they are not taken orders. Over heard someone been told that. Wasn’t acknowledged at all. Very rude and unprofessional experience. Kitchen is too small to keep up with the demand of sales.

Estuve yendo a un café de amigos un domingo para desayuno inglés completo durante los últimos dos años y el extraño sábado siempre fue genial, , , , fue esta mañana 28 - 9 - 24 nuevos dueños, , , ¿qué puedo decir que tuve que enviar el desayuno de vuelta una vez, ya que hacía frío helado la chica me trajo uno fresco, que también estaba frío , , frijoles y huevo frito era frío faro cocinado a una pulgada de su vida sólo lo dejó en la mesa , la espera es demasiado larga y poca gente salió , , no vamos a volver

Had always walked by this place to go for breakfast in the wetherspoons opposite, went in for breakfast and I will never walk by this place again. Lovely little cafe, mega breakfast was exactly that, mega, great value for money and absolutely delicious. Very clean, lovely decor, very friendly and polite staff, loved it

Good family run business, with a friendly atmosphere and good food.. 👍

Decently priced perfect English breakfast. Well made coffee. Friendly and accommodating staff. Clean, light and pleasant environment. What more do you need. Will be coming back.

Lovely food and plenty of custard Friendly service

A great café for a cooked breakfast or omelette. Vegetarian breakfasts too. Friendly and helpful people.

Dealt with a lovely lady named Rosie when buddies catered for the mourners at my dads wake. Lovely food at a reasonable price per head, very helpful when I asked them to also prepare a platter of gluten free food at quite short notice. Would use Buddies again

The place is very clean but don't recommend the breakfast the toast is more like warm bread the sausages are cheap and the eggs are over cooked

Great food, great service and very good pricing great cafe highly recommend

We went in at the weekend the food was horrible eggs were under cooked and inedible the bacon was also uncooked the black pudding was so hard it was a like rock the tea was terrible had to ask for another tea bag and the girl looked at me like I was a fool Such a shame for the owner who was not there

Very clean, staff friendly and food delicious and value for money!

Lovely place for breakfast,staff friendly and food great

Love this place.. staff and food is amazing!

Always love the Buddies breakfasts, in particular the Buddies Brunch . Nice local place and very friendly service.

4 dec am lady with short hair Refused to give me fresh coffee as mistook Salt for sugar wanted Mr to pay again Gave me cold toast and denied it She was English short hair and bitter

A nice friendly cafe right opposite spoons. Come here for breakfast rather than there You won't be disappointed.

Absolutely disgustingly disrespectful! I’m a transgender woman, and have been for a number of years, I do not look remotely male in any way.!! I visited the cafe today with my partner this afternoon, when I went up to the counter to place my order the “gentleman “ who served me whom I can only assume is possibly the owner or proprietor referred to me as “SIR “ while he took the order, I looked at him in disgust and disbelief and he corrected himself and said “sorry Madam “ I then asked for 2 coffees and he said “just normal coffees SIR”!!!! I could not believe what I was hearing? I then politely asked him to stop calling me SIR, he apologised again but the damage was done. I felt degraded and deflated to say the least, ok I may have a slightly deeper voice than some females but I definitely do not look like one, I can understand someone making a mistake we all do, but to make a mistake then correct yourself and apologise then in the very next breath do it again????? That is not a mistake, that is blatant ignorance and transphobia and there is absolutely no place for that kind of behaviour in this day and age. Obviously we will not be returning there again and I hope others from the LGBTQ community and beyond follow suit.

Well I ate in there a few months back and I was very disappointed with my toasted sandwich which came on a plate on its own. No salad, no coal slaw, it was on very thin bread and looked and tasted bland. There were young people working in there who were more interested in the young lad that was a customer, than the food they were serving. Show them how to dress a plate so that it looks inviting. Not a patch on Mrs T’s I’m afraid

Good food nice simple and not bad prices. Only gripe is that the glasses stink of eggs. They obviously don’t know about using vinegar before placing dishes that have had eggs on in the dishwasher! It was also very cold in there on the last visit which doesn’t help with wanting hot food

I go buddies quite regular and I love its amazing variety of good quality food and lovely staff

Good food at good prices. And also very friendly.

Nice place,friendly staff,great prices,i would definitely visit again👍🏻😁😀

First time visit and was very impressed the café is very welcoming and clean. We ordered a breakfast which was absolutely lovely and the tea came in a teapot which was a bonus. Staff were lovely and very welcoming. I can100% recommend Buddies café and will certainly visit again.

Great bacon cobs - even with my specific order. Will go again.

Good food, easy going atmosphere.

Great breakfast. First visit but will definitely return.

Lovely clean and friendly, food is very good, and reasonable prices

Cheap processed food. Absolutely appalling. My eggs where fried on an excessive heat that made the underneath go to the consistency of what I imagine chipboard would feel like in your mouth. The sausage reminded me of of mushed up baby food. I don’t think you would find a trace of pork in them. Coffee was nice. I left all the breakfast. Why they don’t use good produce is beyond me. Won’t be going there again.

Best cafe by far, breakfasts are amazing and filling. Staff are all wonderful and friendly.

I Visit Almost Every Saturday, The Staff Are Amazing, Food Is Great!

Best breakfast in wigston magna worth every penny good helpings

This place is defo worth a visit,and they accommodate for gluten free people,which is great 4 my good lady.

First time we've been here since covid started. Great value for money and really tasty fresh food.

This is a really nice café. Three start were really friendly. I would definitely recommend this place of you're looking for a quick bite to eat.

Clean well cooked food at a reasonable price

Me and my partner go here every weekend and its amazing, one of, if not the best full English I've had, staff are lovely and I would highly recommend

Good food very nice cafe well worth a visit

Lovely coffee and breakfast cob, very clean and sanitising stations in place. Very friendly staff, I will be returning.

Food and service were excellent as usual, can't fault it.

Lovely owner and staff. Had a sausage cob, huge cob, nice n fresh. Cappuccino made to order, nice n frothy and hot. Very reasonably priced too. Free parking in the Junction Road car park at the rear . If you're in Wigston and fancy something nice to eat and drink served by friendly staff at reasonable prices then pop in to Buddies. Highly recommended 👌

Ordered a buddies Sunday lunch collection today. Beef with roasties,mash, veg Yorkshire and lovely gravy. Meal ready on collection time, well packaged and hot. Really enjoyed it guys. Ian, Rose and faye work extremely hard to provide good tasty hot meals in difficult times, Ian even delivering meals on this really snowy day. Well done buddies.

Very disappointed, presentation was poor and visual was really insipid, no colour. Perhaps some imagination needed on presentation.

love your cappuccino ! keep it up

Great Breakfast Nice friendly staff

Excellent service, cleanliness really good.

Second time been in there now and both time gone home with wrong order and coffee taste horrible not worth going

Excellent quality breakfast food, with quick and efficient service, all with an excellent value for money, just my breakfast baguette will be enough to keep me full all day!

Had a socially distanced brunch in here. Great food and place was being constantly cleaned. Friendly helpful staff too.

Reviewed by her partner Richard.Had our first sit down visit since the lockdown and tried the Mega Buddies Breakfast which was delicious.

Lovely folks and food, reasonable prices.

Great staff, lovely food and cater for everyone. Thank you *****

Visiting from America and loved it here! The food was delicious and the staff was very kind. We liked it so much here we came two mornings in a row! Definitely recommend!

Such lovely staff managed by Ian and Rose. Clean premises with good food and great breakfasts, plus good value for money. Our favourite little cafe definite

Recently discovered this menu and found it to be very very nice low-cost great food lots of options on the menu can get busy at times which is a good good thing staff friendly and warm and welcoming

Excellent food . Great value. Superb staff. Spotlessly clean. Wonderful little gem of a place.

High price for low quality food. . Order a jacket potato and it comes out the fridge to microwave. . Just a lump of waxy potato. . Lazy cooking..

Try the toasted bacon sarnie and very good coffee.

Lovely roast beef, Yorkie and gravy on Sunday lunch

Friendly and accommodating staff, I had the full English breakfast which was lovely. Make you feel at home, great little cafe.

Just what is wanted ! Good food, good price and good staff ?

Friendly cafe with lovely staff and lovely food.

Staff very friendly . Drinks were nice, only had cold drinks as very warm today, so can't comment on hot drinks

Fabulous cafe serving great food. Staff are always on hang to help their customers. Buddies get the 👍🏼 up from me

Great cup of coffee nice place to sit.x

Had omelette and salad very nice

The place is simple but OK. Quite spacious. We used a Groupon voucher and the value was quite good. Recommended.

Only visited once for breakfast and it was delightful. Lovely atmosphere friendly staff and great food. But my review is mainly for the stunning buffet prepared for my surprise party recently. Food quality was exemplary and remarked on by several guests who thought it was a local well known high class food store. Best scones, quality sausage rolls and a great nibbles selection and lovely fresh sandwiches. Beautifully prepared and presented. Can't thank you enough.

Nice friendly little cafe. Good value for money. Nice selection of food. The full English at 4.99 is great.

Good choice for anyone to go for refreshments. All goods received, excellant. Willing to always return. Very enjoyable. Staff excellant.

Lovely friendly atmosphere. Food excellent.

I have not been here myself but friends with children have and they rate it pretty good

Always friendly and pleasant welcome and lovely homemade cakes too. Would recommend.

Simple tasty fare at a reasonable price, a new breakfast time favourite :D

Lovely sausage and bacon cob. Couldn't recommend the place more highly.

great place to have a coffee and cake, great staff and they do a great breakfast, better than the pub over the road

great food sunday dinners are great

Came here for afternoon tea and was really impressed the service was good staff were so friendly and the sandwiches and cakes that were serve were delicious. Would definitely recommend you try it !......and I'm so going back again for a repeat yum yum yum 😍

We asked if they could cater for a small afternoon tea party for eight 6 year old with an Alice in wonderland theme, there was plenty to eat and plenty of choice with all the cakes made on site including the best chocolate birthday cake ever tasted, we were made to feel very welcome and a great time was had by all, thank you so much

Lovely friendly and helpful staff, food is cheap and good and I recommend this place whole heartedly

Stone cold plates.. cold breakfast.. need to give out warm plates with hot food..

What a lovely clean and friendly cafe,my husband and i have just been for breakfast,absolutely delicious,big breakfast 2 rounds of toast and a coffee all for £4.95 lovely and hot and well presented,staff were very friendly and nothing was to much trouble, we will definitely be returning.

Good price to have food with family

Just been to Buddies Wigston for a fish and chip supper, absolutely delicious, lovely company can’t wait for 5he next theme night, bring it on. Rick & Sue

What a lovely cafe buddies is very accommodating indeed. We had afternoon tea and service with a smile. That's what makes me go time and time again good prices too. Throughly enjoy it.

Thought I’d give this place a try, as I miss having a decent cafe near me. This place is just another run of the mill, mutton dressed as lamb combo. Cheap produce nothing sourced locally, bland and boring, you can tell the quality of a place buy their eggs. Mine were over cooked with that burnt golden hard shell on the bottom. The source bottles are Daddies. But I don’t know what’s in them? I think some cheap brand watered down. As it’s in wigston. The local people obviously don’t appreciate good food. Poor standard of food. Staff shouting out orders. I wouldn’t bother again.

The regular latte was well big enough for me and good coffee too. I had a fruit scone with it which was good. They have a full cafe menu too.
