Bunce's in Wiltshire

Bunce’s is an absolute must-visit in Marlborough! I always send people here, and it never disappoints. The atmosphere is so welcoming, and the staff are incredibly friendly. But the real star is the carrot cake it's sooo delish! A local gem, wouldn't be without it!

Losing its touch customer service wise...its 08.50am, I'm fifth in the queue outside waiting to be let in by the staff I can see inside. Opening time advertised as 08.30am. Gone to Coffilab for my morning coffee and breakfast instead.

Best coffee shop in town. The food is fantastic the staff are great & it's good value for money

Honestly the BEST breakfast I have had in so long! Food that while you are eating you know you will be thinking about for a long time afterwards!

Lovely place for a coffee and catch up with friends.

We had the spicy chicken sandwich, the chicken bacon burger/sandwich, Turkish eggs, sourdough grilled cheese, and brioche French toast. It was all amazingly flavorful! Our server was also super nice and helpful. Would highly recommend eating here.

I don't know why I haven't reviewed Bunces before but I can't hold out any longer. This place is fantastic from lunches to sweet treats, you can't order a bad thing on their menu, and always a lovely atmosphere and a team who can't do enough to help. And the Eton Mess Doughnuts, well, all I can say is: you have to try one. Sensational.

Enjoyed a good coffee & cakes but the place was heaving & as I sat in a cramped space on a corner table, a couple arrived with a large dog. This place is so tiny & cramped anyway it’s just not suitable for dogs . Every time the dog shook itself , I was concerned that fibres etc would be landing on the lovely food I had in front of me. Sadly not for me .

Before 1 oclock many of the items had already run out so it was a relatively limited selection on offer and service was fairly slow. The chicken and bacon sandwich was however very tasty when it arrived and the coffee was good. There were a couple of things which were however an issue. Firstly putting a warm sandwich on a paper sheet even if advertising the cafe is a no no to me as its a nuisance when using a knife and fork. Secondly although I love dogs I do not expect them to sit on the bench next to humans and neither do I expect them to be given water and food when I am eating and finally someone needs to deepclean the toilet. Some of the cobwebs could be months if not years old. I would not return nor to be honest recommend.

The best breakfast place in Marlborough! ✨

Lovely loose leaf proper tea, proper coffee, and great cakes. Genuine staff who obviously like working there. A better class venue than the other stock coffee outlets. Be aware, though, may be full due to its good value, take outs is an option.

Holy cow, incredible attention to flavour and execution. Had to frequently stop eating to contemplate. Triple cooked hash is a must.

This place is an absolute gem for breakfast. The food and service are simply incredible. Plus, it’s dog-friendly, which is a huge plus for me. I always have a great experience here.

Cake incredible. orange and carrot cakes tried

First visit after hearing a few people tell me it's always awesome. They're right. Caught them running a very restricted menu, but had maybe the best couple of Chicken & Bacon sandwich I've ever tried, plus a rhubarb doughnut that my other half could only describe with 'Mmmmm-mmmm-mmmmm!' noises. 🤣 VERY busy, we lucked out finding a table for us just as we walked in, but I wouldn't count on it, might well be best to book if today is any indicator of the general level of trade. Lovely team of ladies running the place, all in good spirits and enjoying themselves, adds to the decidedly pleasant atmosphere in there. We'll be back for some eggs hollandaise of a morning, look forward to it!

Delicious lunch with a friend. Definitely coming back for brunch having seen the menu. Not a lot of seating but great food.

We chose this cafe to meet with friends purely on trip advisor rating not being local. When we arrived there was a queue forming down the street! Luckily we were near the front and got a small table upstairs. The food was excellent!! We had lunch and then stayed for coffee and cakes chatting all afternoon. I've been raving about it since! Lovely cafe/coffee house style with delicious lunch/brunch menu....don't hesitate to grab a table if you can get one!

The fact there's often a queue outside waiting to get in says it all. I can't think of a cafe I've ever been to that's better and we're very lucky to have it in our town. It's not cheap but the food is fantastic, the staff work so hard to make sure you have a good experience and are all lovely. The quirky building adds to the atmosphere (there is an upstairs) and it's also dog friendly and can cater for gluten-free diets. Given the dinner reviews I think we'll need to try that at some point! Well done Sophie, Jamie and team!

I visited this cafe over 2 months ago but have to leave a review because oh my gosh, I still think about the bhaji burger on a weekly basis😵‍💫 it was SO delicious and the fries were perfect. i want to come back (even though i live hours away) to Marlborough just for this burger!

You will normally have to queue but that's because it's worth it.

I’ve been meaning to pop in to Bunces for ages. Friends and my own cafe customers have all raved about it and it really does NOT disappoint. I loved it. Happy atmosphere, gorgeous, smiley and helpful staff and delicious food. And that brownie! Thank you 🤩

Visited Marlborough for the first time with my partner and wanted to get in a quick bite for brunch. We tried the Buttermilk Brioche French Toast with bacon and maple syrup and it was absolutely delicious 🤤, also tried the Turkish Eggs and it tasted amazing 🤩! Wowza for these two delicious meals and we left the cafe with a smile on our faces. Very friendly staff. ❤️

First time for me and throughly enjoyed it. Food was excellent and people charming. A little cramped but perfectly exceptable.

An absolutely delicious breakfast served by happy enthusiastic staff

Worth the wait to get in - a very popular place and with good reason. Service was friendly and we didn’t feel rushed. I enjoyed my mushroom fricasse - the poached eggs were a little firm for my taste but my husband’s looked better. The coffee was very good. Would definitely go back.

We had the chicken sandwhich, it was absolutely delicious and will return for it again! 10/10

Yet another superb meal at Bunces - they are consistently excellent. If you've not been here for dinner (Friday & Saturday) then you should definitely give them a try. Best food in Marlborough by some margin.

Excellent food, fine dining on a budget. The atmosphere is informal and intimate and the staff are attentive and funny. Cannot recommend highly enough!

We had a fantastic evening meal here last weekend. A small menu, cooked exceptional well. Great atmosphere, a really nice treat out as a couple.

I had a simple dish . Poached eggs on toast with beans. It was fantastic not sure how they did the beans as they looked odd but were unbelievable. Top marks

This the perfect place for breakfast. We arrived just before opening of 9.00 and joined the queue. The food was delicious, halloumi and avocado roll with a large hash brown. The

This is exactly what a coffee shop / cafe should be. Let all others follow because this one simply can not be beaten. Cinnamon buns to die for...

Came here for lunch for first time today, having been to other tea room in Marlborough in the past (which we were consistently disappointed with). What a breath of fresh air Bunce’s was. The food was excellent. I had the BFC chicken burger. It was very tasty, prob one of the best chicken burgers I’ve had recently. We bought the Guinness chocolate cake to take away as it looked very good. Got home, and I can confirm it was as tasty as it looked. Lastly, I want to mention Georgie (I think was her name - Australian). Altho she wasn’t our direct server, the occasions she came to our table and engaged with my 6yr old son, and when we went to pay, we found her incredibly friendly and genial. She took a genuine interest to those she engaged with. Without doubt, she is a credit to the restaurant.

Fab café with delicious food and friendly staff.

The brunch here is amazing! Would definitely recommend. There was a queue, but this only shows it popularity! Very friendly staff We had - Breakfast Bap with Halloumi, Baked bean Fritter and Egg. Benedict Hash with Halloumi and Avocado. 2 x Lattes

Lovely little cafe. They do food too. It was busy, which is always a good sign. Very friendly staff

Had a great lunch with my son, had to wait to be seated but as soon as we were the service was second to none

Lived in Marlborough 6 years now and only tried Bunce's for the first time recently. The queues out of the door waiting for a table always put me off being an impatient sort, so when I saw they weren't busy one particular day I decided to sit in for a sandwich and a coffee. What a delight! The service and bijou ambience of the place is lovely. As regards the principle reason to visit - the food, I won't reel off the menu but what I've sampled so far is first class, be it sandwiches, cakes or the rather spectacular double cheese burger. I feel extremely foolish at not trying Bunce's until now. 6 wasted years... <Facepalm>. Grit your teeth and join the queue. You won't regret it. A Marlborough gem.

Bit of a wait but really good food

Op advies van een bewoner van Marlborough stapten we dit etablissement binnen, een voormalig huis, omgetoverd in een prachtige lunchroom met het allerheerlijkste gebak en zeer smaakvolle koffie. Geweldig vriendelijke bediening en ook ruimte voor onze hond. Klein maar fijn is hier van toepassing, een pareltje in deze stad.

Incredible food. Would even describe it as Michelin standard. We went for a range of starters and all were superlative!

Absolutely amazing food! Best in the area for fine dining. Flavour and ingredients quality the best and such a chilled dining experience good quality wine and friendly staff.

Had a lovely lunch with friends, food was good, the team were lovely and great place to stop off when visiting Marlborough. Is a short walk from the hotel so made for a lovely afternoon treat. Menu was varied and catered for vegans. Will come back next time.

We stopped for lunch here because we noticed how busy they were. It was well deserved. I'm not usually a burger and chips person but theirs was outstanding. The chips were superb and homemade burger loaded with fresh cooked flavour. Even the red pepper sauce was 👌

Best cafe in Marlborough, also amazing for dinner on Fridays and Saturdays

I really enjoyed my visit to Bunces. The breakfast roll I tried was a feast and the hash brown fritter the icing on the cake. I was pleased to learn of their extra room for larger groups and I'm hoping to revisit with friends soon to try something else on the menu. Top tip: if you've eaten upstairs it is better to pay up there as well as if you try and do something downstairs you'll get clogged up with the people getting takeaways.

Amazing food, worth the short wait

It might be hard to find a table, but it’s so worth it when you do! The food is really well priced and delicious. The eggs are always cooked to perfection!

Bunce’s is the type of place you almost don’t tell people about because it’s that good. The staff are always so friendly and the quality of all the food is spectacular. The chicken and bacon sandwich is iconic at this point.

Had the most amazing dinner here on Saturday night. The squash in particular was amazing, as were the hash browns. Great service. I’m from out of town but will definitely be back for brunch another time!

I phoned three times to ask a query about booking lunch. All calls went unanswered so just went in and hoped for the best . We expected to wait but were pretty invisible standing next to the counter for five minutes. Not a word. Hardly a queue. Clearly, VERY short-staffed. I got a Facebook message back at 4 pm. I’ve had such good food from here in the past but it’s back to the Food Gallery for us.

Excellent little food establishment

Lovely relaxed atmosphere Nice coffee and lovely cakes

Our party of 7 got a sweet little private room for tea and cake. The cake was absolutely delicious - so moist, and generous portions. Our server Evie was amazing - efficient, very sweet and made us all smile! This place is definitely worth the high ratings - we will be back!

Absolutely faultless brunch — very much looking forward to trying the menu again. Slightly let down by chaotic ambience front of house and a bizarrely unkempt loo with seat hanging off. Incongruous with the superb food but wouldn't deter a future visit.

We popped into Bunce's for breakfast. It was busy but luckily they do have seating upstairs. Service was prompt. My poached eggs were fine; the hash brown was tasty but expensive for what I got. My wife's coffee was excellent; my tea was tea. There's quite a good range of breakfast offerings. We're trying them for dinner in a couple of days time.

Brilliant brilliance good Sophie is the best

It was about okay. A tad disappointed.

Delicious cakes and morning snacks and drinks in an original period setting.

Such a cute place, don't worry if there's no seating downstairs there's more upstairs, so don't look through the window and walk on. Lovely atmosphere, very warm and welcoming. The menu is really nice as well, a little bit different, reading it makes your mouth water. Service was good, they were really busy. Everything was really nice, enjoyed it a lot and will be back

This is my 'go-to' cafe/coffee shop in Marlborough. I'm even prepared to queue in the rain for a table, it's that good! The coffee is superb, the cakes divine and the food is freshly prepared and delicious. It’s nearly always busy so, at times, service can take a little longer. The staff are great and do their best to keep up with demand. If you’re in Marlborough and want somewhere great to have breakfast, brunch (dinner on Friday and Saturday evenings) or coffee and cake, this is the place.

We had delicious brioche French toast with bacon and maple syrup -a winner! Fabulous fresh squeezed orange juice and great cappuccino. We will come again!

I love Bunces. The food is incredible and worth the wait if there's a queue. Lovely staff and so many great drinks and dishes to choose from. Want to come back soon for dinner. Thanks Bunces! Always a pleasure!

Very busy cafe with a queue outside on a Sunday morning so be sure to arrive early! Lots of tasty options and highly recommend the Turkish eggs! Space for a baby and very friendly staff. A must visit

The best food ever here 😍 highly recommend! I would just add that it does get very busy at peak times and it’s limited seating but they do takeaway!

One of the best restaurant experiences of my life. Unbelievable food, nice workers and quick service, a cosy atmosphere. It can get busy sometimes as the restaurant is quite small but if you arrive at the right time, you’re in for an amazing experience!

Absolutely amazing evening meal at Bunces. First time we have been here for an evening and all I can says it was perfect in ever way. I would rally recommend this for couples. I had the Orkney Scallops on Puréed Artichokes with Char Sui Pork Belly and Enoki Mushooms to start followed by the Lamb Loin, Pearled Spelt and Roasted Carrots with Browned Winter Greens for Main and it was all exceptional. The flavours were insane! My wife had the Beef Shortrib Brioche with Pickled Red Onion, Horseradish and a Musta Mayo followed by the Buttermilk Ranch Chicken Burger which again was out of the world good! The service was extremely good and the atmosphere on point for a couple enjoying a really fantastic meal for two. A next level food experience!

This place was super amazing. Delicious mushrooms on toast.

Great food , a must visit when in Marlborough

Its pretty much guaranteed you will have to wait for a table but the food is delicious so worth it if the wait is ~5min (but it can take much longer)

Lovely cafe in Marlborough High Street. Limited seats downstairs, more upstairs. Fantastic cake and nice coffee. Staff very friendly

Had a delicious coffee and cake. It's a really nice, buzzing space.

Outstanding cafe and such friendly service. There was a long queue so we sat outside and were surprised how quickly they served us. We had a delicious brunch with coffee, and everything else looked great too. Creamy mushrooms were amazing. They obviously take great pride in what they do as took an item off the menu as weren’t happy with the quality that day.

I ate the most incredible slice of cake I’ve ever had at Bunce’s. Everything is homemade from scratch. A wonderful cafe.

Lovely food, lovely service, lovely time what more can I say

The food is next level, particularly the squash, carrot and tortellini dishes. Jamie and Lucy were super friendly and welcoming, and their wine recommendations were appreciated - would recommend all round!

Lovely brunch with hash brown eggs and excellent take on Bloody Mary.

The MOST DELICIOUS, beautiful and innovative dinner - by far the best food to be had in this area - thank you Joe - what a talent. And wonderful and charming team of staff - and a great well chosen wine list - THANK YOU !

Lovely meal of small plates for dinner. They pack a huge amount of flavour in to every dish.

Delicious impromptu brunch. Great little independent place in Marlborough. It would be good if they had a small person's menu. Turkish eggs are delicious!

Great food, staff were a bit vacant. Inexperienced I guess. Not rude.

I had brunch at this place, and the food was excellent. The atmosphere was also really enjoyable, although it was quite crowded and there was a wait. I highly recommend trying the Turkish egg. Must tryyy.

What a wonderful find in Marlborough ! The best carrot cake I have ever tasted in the Uk ! and the mushrooms on toast to die for yum yum 😋

An amazing place. It’s very intimate and what’s most unique is the quality of the service and above all food. Sharing plates with an incredibly bold menu which was so fresh and delicious and felt like the dishes had just been cooked from the kitchen. Give it a try you won’t regret it. Thank you for a lovely evening.

Delicious lunch. Bhaji sandwich, spicy chicken sandwich, french toast, all delicious.

Really nice food and drinks. Pricey but worth it. The staff are fantastic and create a good atmosphere. The portion of beans is a little small.

Excellent food. Almost always busy with long wait for seating inside. Perhaps a little under staffed - otherwise a higher service rating.

Amazing food and drinks wonderful staff! Wish I lived nearby so I could come every weekend!

After numerous visits, Bunce’s still surprises and delights. The evening menu was eclectic and the food fabulous. The sort of menu where one wants to start at the top and keep going to the bottom. Various shared starters, loved them all. Hake Kiev? Genius, and the Treacle Tart? Simple idea made special. Well done Bunces!

Our first trip for dinner and it was excellent. The menu was very different to anywhere else locally, very inventive and utterly delicious. Between the six of us we tried virtually everything on offer and nothing disappointed. The staff were wonderful too, attentive without being intrusive. Can’t wait to go back. Thankyou!

Party of 4 - We had a great brunch. I am gluten free and I miss out on a good breakfast bun but hey presto I got the best gluten free breakfast bun ever. It was so tasty. From the bun itself to the sausage patty, bacon, egg and sauces. Well done. We all enjoyed our brunch. I will come again when I am visiting friends.

Good food and the staff on duty are great. In a good spot in the town centre if Marlborough. Will come back again.

We were visiting Wiltshire on our family trip from London and we were recommended Marlborough for a visit! We came on Tuesday 12th September and it didn’t disappoint! We came across this lovely cafe! The staff were lovely and the food was beautiful! We did wait a little bit for the food but it was worth the wait! All the staff who were a part of our visit were kind and helpful, so thank you very much for that! Hats off to the wonderful chefs who cooked our food! My only suggestion my coffee was a little bit bitter but I don’t know if this was down to barista error or just that I didn’t like the coffee beans so overall a wonderful visit!

Absolutely the most delicious Sunday brunch I’ve had…ever. Incredible value for money considering the quality of the ingredients and portion size. I had the smashed avocado on sourdough with optional poached egg and bacon. It was heaven. I literally didn’t want it to end. My friend had hot chicken and bacon sandwich which she said was gorgeous. Highly recommend a side of triple cooked hash brown. You have to wait for a table at times but it’s truly worth the wait. Natural boho vibe not contrived at all. Could easily be in Shoreditch or back streets of Chelsea. Staff really helpful and charming. Obviously a great chef! Highly recommend. Oh yes, very dog friendly inside or out. Love it here!

Great place to have a spot of lunch. Food was good, fresh and drinks were brilliant too.

Ordered avocado toast with poached eggs on top and almond berry cake. Both were well prepared and tasty. Ordered take away and the wait time was as expected. Friendly service and quaint (small) interior restaurant space (outdoor seating as well, no umbrellas), toilet on the second level. Paid street parking that requires cash or pay via mobile device with credit card.

If you come to Marlborough and you do not go to bunces for breakfast then you are missing out. I love going to this place with the wife and kids. It is definitely worth a visit. I Love this place. So nice after a walk in Savernake Forrest with dogs. P.S Turkish Eggs or Banana bread is for winners (it is also dog friendly) 👍🤩

Fabulous dinner with friends. It's only small, but the staff and welcoming and provide great service. The menu is limited so you know it's all freshly cooked. There's real talent in kitchen. Recommended.

Quality food, venue is a bit small so maybe a wait

Wow! Fantastic. I can highly recommend the mushrooms on toast six stars. Quality cannot be surpassed.
