Cabin Dairy in Maldon

We have regularly visited the cabin over some 15 years and sadly the latest reincarnation of this pleasant cafe appears to have given up on any kind of customer service, visiting this weekend we politely stood beside the sign asking us to wait to be seated and three members of staff ignored us for 5 minutes, we looked into the dining area where a few guests were surrounded by uncleared tables. We left having been ignored for another couple of minutes and visited another establishment which was equally disinterested telling us they had no drink or food..... Sadly 40 years ago when I sailed regularly at Burnham week and evening racing we always had troubles with aggressive locals,although we only live a few miles away, it would appear the people of Burnham really don't want visitors to support their businesses. I would suggest if you want to walk by the river and get lunch or afternoon tea, go to Maldon they are far more welcoming.

It was just hmm, not a good review or bad just mediocre. I wouldn’t go back again, owners are non plussed and don’t want to be here. Very obvious they want to sell and are going through the motions with customers. Shame as it could be so much better

One of the best breakfasts I have ever experienced. Beautiful surrounds and building - Friendly staff and the atmosphere was excellent. An absolute must if you staying or passing through Burnham on Crouch. We will be back.

The staff couldn't have been more helpful and friendly, serving us tea and delicious cakes even though the Cabin Dairy was about to close. Highly recommended, with outside seating giving a splendid view of highly-decorated houseboats in the marina.

Dreadful waited with another lady for an ice cream for about 15 mins then when we were seen to were told it will be a long wait I’m doing food !!!! So rude totally not bothered we had already been waiting ages, if they were short staffed why did they not close the ice cream windows rather than let people queue for ages then when they get there just tell them there will be a wait so rude, my last visit there, thankfully there are other more welcoming cafes

I regularly use The Cabin Diary the staff are lovely the food is nicely presented and with quality ingredients Dog friendly and always water on request for the dogs

This place is to be avoided. No soap or towels in the toilet. Service incredibly slow. Had to go and ask for cutlery and was stroppily told we should have asked for it earlier. Really????? 2 meals came out and we were thinking our cutlery would have come out with the next 2 meals. Ours going cold by the time that happened! 2 of our group had the cottage pie which was absolutely appalling. The flavour was nice for a TINY portion of sloppy mince with hardly any potato on top. Frozen mixed vegetable which was under cooked and inedible. The tea was cheap tea bags. When the poor meal was mentioned to the manager she was extremely rude and smirking. When told there would be a bad review on Trip Advisor she just said “that’s up to you” with a shrug and another smirk! Never ever would we go there again

Took an elderly couple for breakfast /lunch, the service was amazing and the staff made my friends experience welcoming and friendly. The sausages served were the best we’ve tasted and later found out they locally made and sourced (fantastic to use local companies). I can’t fault this place and the elderly couple I was with have made the place their local. James if you read this please accept my sincere gratitude for making an elderly couple feel so welcomed

Appalling service. 2nd time I've been here and the service is always slow. Bacon sandwiches full of fat, cold and cheap bread and generally poor. For the money it cost it was dire. We would have got a better breakfast in greggs. Complained and they couldn't care less. Avoid!!!

This new ovner is not profesional at all.Not open time and nobody can see then she open. Food is very simpil and not nice.This madam not have any respect for customer,just ask help and money for small bizines from UK Goverment.She live to far from Burnham, and always late . We miss old ovner to much!!!

Visited yesterday - food was good, there was a bit of a wait but that was OK as we weren't in a hurry. When I went up to pay I went to the till and was ignored by the staff who were preparing an order. When I finally caught their eye, a young girl snapped at me saying they were very busy and I would have to wait! Unusual to be told this when you go up to pay, and the way she said it tells me she should have some customer service lessons, as it doesn't make me want to go back there.

Today myself and my partner tried the cabin dairy in burnham on crouch. Previously we had a bad experience with the place. But wow what a change the food smack g the staff so friendly and caring. I couldn’t praise it enough

Good value for money breakfast (works out around £6/head including kids) and plenty of options on the menu. Ok, so the kid serving made a couple of mistakes with the orders but was forgiven considering how cosy it was inside... and pretty much the only place that has space to do so.

Four of us decided to go to the Cabin Dairy for breakfast this morning, since the other breakfast cafe on the riverfront wasn't serving food that day. I've eaten there before, but not for several years, but had always found it to be a pretty good place to eat. This time rather less so! The staff member who seated us warned that there would be a 30-minute wait for food, but we accepted this and sat down. 20 minutes later, someone came to take our order, warning it was likely to be as much as an hour before the food arrived. Reluctantly, we accepted this and placed our order. Our drinks arrived about 30 minutes later and the food finally showed up about 25 minutes after that - except only three or the four meals arrived! The four person waited about ten minutes, but still no food, so went to ask about it. He was told they were very sorry, but he' d have to wait another 20-30 minutes for his food - no other explanation. By the time it arrived, we had finished our food and even then they didn't quite get his order right! The waitress was reasonably apologetic, claiming they had has a lot of takeaway orders to process (by this time the cafe itself was practically empty) and offered a free coffee to our friend who had had to wait. The place didn't appear unusually busy and there seemed to be six or seven people working there, so I can only put it down to extremely poor organisation. The food itself was fine - nothing special, considering the price - but OK. It was the lack of organisation and the fact we were constantly kept waiting with no explanation that was so annoying. It never used to be like this! Slow service is one thing - forgetting people's orders and then when they do arrive, getting them wrong is completely unacceptable. If we had known the service would be this poor, we would have gone elsewhere. As it is, I am extremely unlikely to darken their doors again!

Absolutely perfect, delicious food, friendly staff, reasonably priced, can’t wait to go back and try something else x

Awesome Cabin Crew and great Breakfasts positioned nicely alongside the River Crouch. The owners told me that outside seating is due to start again in April which will be lovely sat with a coffee and bacon sandwich watching the day go by.

Overall thought it was a lovely little place. Nice and cosy , dog friendly. Two little gripes, didn’t have soup for my friend who is gluten free so jacket potato was the only option….she’s fed up of those . When paying at till my friend has dementia and was fiddling with her purse, the young girl at the till who was very busy with her nails.. did lots of eye rolling and made us feel uncomfortable… not sure I would visit with my friend again but lovely food .

Amazing that daisy kid supper supper amazing daisy really good will come back soon really loved it xx

It was very good her service was brilliant she had a good Attitude. Everyone was really nice to me and my fam. Over all it was a great crib and it had some epic dec

Booked afternoon tea here for my Gran’s birthday. Lovely warm welcome and atmosphere and great food. Everything was homemade, delicious and beautifully presented. Lovely little local business that is an absolute must to visit.

Took the kids there for breakfast on a Saturday. Great service & the breakfast was amazing £9 for the full monty. 2 sausages 2 bacon 2 fried eggs 2 hash browns beans mushrooms tomato’s & toast.

Went to the cafe on a cold winter afternoon after a walk around Burnham. It was so cosy and the Christmas decorations were delightful! The lady greeted us with the biggest and most welcoming smile. She explained there was no food currently being served (they were preparing for the Burham lights) but we were welcome for a drink. Ended up with a hot chocolate - so many flavours if you fancied it including chocolate orange and gingerbread! While we were there looked through the menu and was amazed at the huge range of food. Breakfasts, lunches including panini's, soups. dinners like ham, egg and chips. I shall have to return! On the way out I spotted a range of Christmas themed cupcakes and brownies that looked amazing too.

We had full monty breakfasts which were cooked to perfection (although struggled to finish as large). Lovely strong pot of tea too with extra hot water. Great service and cosy by the fire. Glad we found it and will visit again.

Great place for food and cakes, lovely friendly staff. Great food and good value. Well locsted by wsterfront

With friends we went in here after walking out of another cafe that kept us waiting too long. Had passed this venue many times but never entered. What a breath of fresh air to get sat down immediately, delightful and friendly service from the staff, lovely hot drinks and speedy food to table plus all at a very reasonable price. Will definitely be returning when next in the area.

What a shame! Had high hopes for this place but customer service fell short and milkshakes were not worth the money. Will not return.

lovely cooked breakfast, thorough enjoyed the chef's favourite breakfast option lovely helpful staff nice location and outside seating

Visited Burnham today with my 86 year old dad. We stopped at the cafe for lunch. Pleasantly surprised by the vast menu. Dad saw his favourite... salt beef bagel. I ordered cheese and ham ploughmans. They arrived in boxes. I opened my ploughmans and was blown away. The ham was like steak. It was fantastic. Dad had bagel plus coleslaw and crisps. Fantastic. They accidentally charged me for 3 teas and without me noticing came and apologised and reimbursed me. Will definitely be back.

Great food great service motorcycle friendly. Nice location most of the time there is off street parking for motorcycle. Would recommend to any bikers in the local area well worth a trip out.

Went here a couple of times during in our weekend in Burnham-On-Crouch. Great food and good selection to choose from. Highly recommend.

Visited and was not disappointed the owners and the staff could not be nicer prices great and food amazing we had their afternoon tea and sooooo much food value for money unexplainable

First time visit...Very friendly staff.. excellent service and the food was great and value for money. Would recommend.

I live very near the Cabin Dairy and only eat out when I’m away from home or in the evening, so hadn’t had an excuse to try the food before. Then my birthday arrived just after lockdown eased. My (grown up) kids were coming for lunch and I didn’t fancy cooking so this was the perfect opportunity to try the delicious looking burgers I’ve seen posted on social media since Becca and Kelvin took over a couple of years back. My expectations were running high. I picked the food up at the time we’d arranged and took it home. There are two fussy eaters and we all take our food seriously. We opened the cardboard serving boxes and....everything was absolutely perfect. All five orders were exactly right, no bacon here, no onions there, mushrooms on another. It was one of the best burgers I’ve eaten (Classic with added mushrooms). Now I understand why they are so popular! It’s not just good food but lovely service. So often somewhere gets one right but not the other (or worse gets both wrong) but everything was absolutely first class. Portions were generous but not a scrap was left. I’m now desperately searching for another excuse to let the Cabin Dairy cook for me! Highly recommended. PS they do great ice cream too if you’re having a walk round town!

Been visiting The Cabin for several years now. Friendly owners, tasty illy coffee, decent quality local burgers, sausage and bacon from The Secret Butchers and yummy Gelato ice cream. Has a great following from the bike community and has lots of locals that are regulars. The Cabin Dairy is well worth a visit when in Burnham on Crouch

Not only was I disappointed by my visit with my opinion being the menu was over priced for a very standard lunch I had vowed I would try again another time incase it was so bad due to having an off day (despite whoever served me looking like she would rather be else where and hated her job) and keep up to date on social media. However it seems the owner is vicious bully/troll. After being left a 1* review on Facebook after a man was abused by staff and or owner, the owner then shared this review and encouraged their following to harass and abuse this man. Even making comments such as "now he is threatening us" followed by a screen shot stating he had not sat down and if the harassment towards him continued, he would leave another review. Threat? I don't believe so. All these people commented on him sitting himself down at benches they own. Benches they have photos of on their Facebook all stacked and taped up so I feel it was definitely impossible for that to have happened. Upon investigation, the menu prices have increased again since my visit. A fry up is now £9 without even a drink! And as I say it's very bob standard cafe food with a barely cooked snotty egg is what I received for my over priced lunch on my visit. If you have time like I do, to scroll down you can also see past posts about being reported for breaching covid rules and how the council had been investigating the cafe and guilty of this accusation or not, I found it highly unprofessional writing a large post about how he/she had been reported due to "jealousy and spite" when in the reshared 1* review they clearly had people saying they would come from places such as westcliff to visit. This breaches the rules does it not? As i did not think you could travel that far for a take out! Its just not what I expect from a grown adult attempting to run a business. Such a shame as if this owner had any sense they would give up and leave it to the several other amazing and friendly establishment's in the area.

My Mum and I popped into The Cabin for some lunch as a special treat. Mum had a burger and I chose the nachos, both meals were presented beautifully in recyclable packaging! Mum's burger was cooked beautifully and she thoroughly enjoyed it! My nachos were the most cheesiest, delicious nachos I've ever had!! There was a great topping to tortilla chip ratio. We both had food and two drinks each and it was very reasonably priced as well. Lovely place with a great atmosphere. A real gem in such a small town!

The burger night was the best burgers I’ve ever tasted! The bqq pulled pork topped chips where to die for! And the milkshakes are amazing especially kinderella! Can’t wait for another burger night to return in the future :)

Been to the Cabin Diary multiple times with this current owner. Having had breakfast and burgers, we’ve never had a disappointing meal. All locally sourced food and the staff are always friendly and helpful. They have adapted amazingly during the covid pandemic and have always felt safe to attend when we have been lucky enough to have them open!

Lovely little local business in a gorgeous location! Been here lots of times before under the current owners and every time the staff have been so welcoming, accommodating and helpful. An amazing range of food on the menu that caters for all and at a really reasonable price, too. Cant wait to go back!

Great food, great service and the most amazing cakes! Definitely worth a visit if you’re in Burnham!

I’m welcomed warmly whenever I visit the Cabin. It’s apparent that the staff and management there really want to do their best in everything they do, from providing a safe, warm place to visit, to serving excellent quality food and drink. They quite rightly pride themselves as being part of their local community and that, for me, goes a very long way.

An absolute must for either a Burnham bangers or bacon sandwich. One of our regular Burnham cafes. Have yet to experience one of the evening specialty evenings which feedback from friends say they are brilliant. And a shake is a hot day must have.

Lovely food /local produce, and great milkshakes! Friendly staff Great place to visit. Can’t wait to try their burger nights when we can!

Chicken burger with haloumi was literally the best one I have ever eaten. Milkshakes are out of this world, and no matter how busy the team are, they are always super friendly and helpful.

We have visited the cabin many times for lovely breakfasts and lunches and are always greeted with a smile! Great food and a wonderful team! Thankyou!

We have been to the Cabin Dairy on many occasions and everytime the food is amazing! The milkshakes are so tasty and myself and the children love grabbing one and walking along the harbour. The staff are so friendly and will go above and beyond for you.

Visited today with my 4 year old nephew. I had half monty and he had jam on toast, we both had chocolate milkshakes. Food fab as ever, milkshakes are delicious! And fab social distancing all round. Excellent

Family run cafe which gives great service and does the most amazing breakfasts. Lovely people and place to eat. Very reasonable prices too.

Friendly staff, great place to go for a drink, ice cream or some food. Many flavours of ice cream and good food.

The dairy is nicer than I thought from a distance. Very nice coffee. Delicious toasties served neatly in the box with handful of crisps, salad and nice coleslaw. Just a short wait considering they were popular at the time.

Visited with my 2 year old daughter while my wife was on a course in Burnham.The inside is clean and quaint and very cosy with a clean open kitchen.The staff were all incredibly friendly, welcoming and polite and spent extra time making a fuss over my daughter. They are dog friendly as well which was nice and like mentioned before, despite this the cafe was very clean.I had seen lots of pictures of cakes online but there weren't too many on offer today BUT, and this is a big but, I finnaly got to try a creme egg scotch egg (creme egg baked in a brownie) and it was amazing. My daughter had a cookie cup and she loved it.We also shared a breakfast for £5.60 which was incredible value.All the food was of very high quality and cooked perfectly, one of the best cooked breakfasts I've had in a long time.I also left my daughters toys behind and the staff took time to find me further up the high street to give them back.I cannot recommend this place enough.

Had breakfast at the Cabin today & wasn’t disappointed, we had a full monty & breakfast stack along with a couple of cappuccinos. Food was delicious & cooked to perfection! The Cabin has had a recent makeover which looks great & makes the seating areas look spacious & more open. The staff as always were friendly & helpful & the fire was burning nicely to keep us warm on a cold December morning

Popped in for breakfast before going on the seal trip with my partner and Grandson,He had already had breakfast at home but decided another was in order. our waitress came over to find out later she was the owner our orderwas taken it was very hot freshley cooked and very good value ... Not only do the do breakfast they do delicious cakes, and ice cream which is very morish

Sailed to Burnham On Crouch not a lot going on but this place opened on the dot and surved a good full English with a good coffee. Tables outside could do with a scrub but can’t fault.

Always with a friendly welcome, we love popping into the Cabin Dairy for breakfast. And it's looking especially smart outside with its new lick of paint.Plenty of space indoors and out, there is a great menu catering for all tastes. This place gets my vote as it offers a veggie sausage sandwich, as well as your usual breakfast choices. My partner particularly liked the poached eggs this morning that the chef cooked to perfection.If you are popping in later on, there are usually a choice of sandwiches, JPs, cakes and homemade milkshakes on offer as well.

Stopped here for a refreshment after a long walk with dogs. Nice warm welcome, friendly staff, only had drinks and a milkshake so can’t comment on the food but what the table had next to us looked delicious. Lovely decor, kind gesture to bring a bowl of water out for our dogs. Would go back for something a bit more substantial as the menu looked good. Thank you!

So a lovely arrange if grub and the sandwiches are to die for especially the gammon ham and good coffee i love a milkshake so these are very wonderful too gets busy so you do have to be patient good presentaton and deightful manager

Not sure what’s happened to this place it use to be very nice, not been here for around 3 years, but I would avoid. Even a one score is to much... Rip off price, ordered 4 breakfasts, they had no sausages, hash browns. Ask for extra bacon for two, veggie sausages and extra mushrooms. Didn’t get any of these. The £7.95 for the most disgusting breakfast I have ever tasted. Crispy mushrooms the plate was swimming in cooking oil, the veggie sausages didn’t turn up until we had finished.I needed to use a napkin to soak it up.

Popped down for a coffee. Waited 15 mins and had to go back and ask what happened to it. I was patronisingly told they had a long queue. It wasn’t exactly busy. Well, £1.80 for a tiny cup of instant coffee is rubbish. What a rubbish cafe.

Very welcoming manager and staff, out of season but busy. Good choice of menu all freshly cooked. Reasonably priced too. Would recommend the Sausages eggs and chips (The Burnham Bangers are excellent and locally made) ) Also the toasties, Italian ice cream, and milk shakes are all very tasty. Will be back.

Went to cafe today for lunch and had the steak and kidney pudding. Mmmmm..... Lovely creamy mash and gravy. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Highly recommend.

This cafe has always been a favourite for bikers as it takes in the famous Burnham bends. Breakfast nice and reasonably priced, venue is cozy and sufficient

Very cosy little cafe with friendly staff; we visited on a chilly day and had lovely hot pots of teas and coffee, and the best bacon sandwiches and sausage sandwiches we’d had in a long time! We visited at the same time last year and know we’ll head back here on our next visit!

Originally visited Burnham for another cafe which turned out to be closed. A local directed us to this little gem. Don't be fooled be exterior which hides what's inside. A narrow corridor leading to a couple of comfortable seating areas. Design (build) your own breakfast from the list of items on offer. I like that they offer Burnham sausages and bacon. The staff were all fairly young, but the way one waitress dealt with an elderly customer with memory difficulties was really heartwarming. The coffee was really good, the mugs of tea should really be served with the milk seperately (mine was too milky) but overall, the breakfast was excellent. There is room for improvement, but I'd definitely go again.

Great little place, friendly staff, good service no matter how busy. Bikers welcome and special parking during summer months.

Four of us arrived for lunch, took a table and waited. After some time I went to the desk thinking we had to place an order there. I was told some one would come to our table. We waited patiently. A couple arrived, sat down and a waitress came through to take their order. At this point we mentioned we had been waiting a long time. No apology - just the comment that she would come back. We did not wait any longer.

Stopped for an ice cream whilst walking around. Good selection of flavours and size of single scoop is huge . Do not have more than one scoop!

Staff mainly very friendly but waiting times always very long, even when it's quiet and there never seems to be anyone at the till when you want to pay up and go (usually about 10 min wait). But there are always staff running about like headless chickens in a panic. Their so called Burnham Bangers have gone right downhill too. They used to be something to look forward to but now they're just full of rusk and no flavour at all. I think you'd get as better sausage in Iceland they're that bad.

Popped in for some food and really enjoyed it. Great service from the girls there and everything was served clean and fresh. Definitely be back soon

I came here with my wife and young family this May bank holiday, as it looked in a nice location in town. We found a table outside in the sun and requested a high chair, but were told there was only one, and they'd bring it over if it wasn't being used. We never saw it; one doesn't really seem enough for a fairly popular place.

Having visited the Rio Cinema, we stopped for a snack and had "Bacon and Cheese Chips", mugs of tea and soft drinks for the grandchildren. Clean place, friendly and efficient staff - we'll be back!

Popped in for a English breakfast. Excellent breakfast & good service. Just what the doctor ordered!

Anyone that don't like this place is a idiot ...very nice breakfast at reasonable prices . Would use again

We had a nice walk along the riverside with our Border Collie and asked if it was possible for him to come in while we had breakfast. The breakfasts were generous, the service quick and friendly. It was rather cramped at the only dog friendly table by the main entrance but they kindly provided a bowl of water and made us feel welcome.

We have been to this Cafe a few times and love it.

Called in for brunch whilst on a flying visit to Burnham. The Cabin Dairy is in a great position close to the sea wall. It is also a very popular place for bikers at the weekend. The young waitresses were very pleasant and the food was ok. The building is very old and you won;t be able to get up the narrow stairs to the toilet if you have mobility problems. There is however a public loo not far away.

A lovely, friendly place to just drop in, have a chat and enjoy a cuppa/cake/breakfast at leisure. Virtually on the River Crouch

Oh! what has happened to the Cabin Dairy? used to be a great place to have a tea or coffee and a slice of cake but the price of the cakes has shot up by more than a £1 the last time we went in there waited so long to get served that we walked out the staff were doing other menial tasks and talking, sorry you can't run a business like that customers first, they need to pull their socks up otherwise business will drop, and it is in a very good position so come on get it sorted..............

I want to love this cafe, but unfortunately, every time I go there I just feel a bit deflated. It's...

Visited today for a quick snack as most other places really crowded and only a couple of people here. Staff very polite. The sandwich ordered was only ok. Plonked onto a plate, no side salad or crisps. Sausages were tasty but the bread very thick and a bit dry. Decor very dull, table sticky and floor grubby. Not sure if the ceiling tiles are a fire hazard! If the decoration was more modern and fresh it could be a cool place but it is very drab. I really hate to be negative and do not think I would return, especially when other places in Burnham have more character and the food much better.

New owners great start to your business All good ,keep it up thank you for great lunch and great staff...

Visitamos la cabaña lechera hoy un almuerzo muy sabroso £7. 49 muy razonable - 2 huevos, 2 bacon, salchichas, tomates, champiñones, judías, 2 rebanadas de pan tostado y una rebanada de pan frito. Creo que eso fue todo. Todo servido por una camarera alegre y...

Somos local y a menudo visitan la cabaña lechera para el desayuno en una base regular,

This cafe is quite basic they offer quite a range of snacks and meals it's clean and the staff are friendly we had a English breakfast it was quite generous portions but not the best quality Bacon & sausages on Sunday mornings this cafe can be busy with motor bikers it has always been known as the bikers cafe the prices are reasonable so probably is a case of you get what you pay for

So disappointing. The service was incredibly slow - an hour for sandwiches, the coffee we ordered was forgotten about and even after asking where they were took another 20 mins. The sandwiches were not very inspiring. We ordered roast beef and turkey with stuffing. The bread was similar to that which you would get in a plastic bag on a supermarket shelf, the fillings were not very good quality either. The staff seemed to be young and inexperienced but they were pleasant and friendly. Sadly we have been suffering from abdominal cramps and diarrhoea since our visit. If you look at my previous reviews they have been very good and I am not prone to complaining but will not be coming back again

have visited for my Nan's birthday lunch twice now. both times staff were great - 2nd time they didn't have the prawn and avocado sandwiches on the menu, but still rustled one up for nan as it is her favourite. Nice coffees. Plus i loved seeing that bikers are welcome there & it is popular with them on the weekends. Used to stop here as a kid with my grandad when i was a kid after a walk on the quayside and have a mega knickerbocker glory ice cream. fond memories both old & new of this place.

Stopped here for a snack lunch, BLT for me and soup and a roll for my wife. Sandwich very good and my wife enjoyed the soup. Pot of tea for 2 which gave us 2 cups each - all very good value and worth another visit.

Service with a Smile..best Breakfast locally by a mile... this lovely place all cosy and by the River Crouch is just the venue for a real Breakfast experience, from Eggs on Toast to a Full Monty they know how to feed their customers. They also do takeaway as well. Seating inside and outside weather permitting...inside with a warm welcome and fire and the buzz of a busy but unique eating establishment... not just for Breakfast but Lunch too and afternoon tea, a great place to meet friends, staff and family. We have enjoyed many a visit here lately... just all round great value, service, and plenty of food on the plates. Excellent.

Really popular with bikers on a weekend. Right by the sea it's a great place to eat. Nice traditional food and drinks, seven with a smile. Does get busy on sunny dry days with blokes in leathers!

Visited on a very cold day in February and enjoyed a lovely lunch.The menu has plenty of choice for a small cafe and the food is reasonably priced and good quality.We enjoyed a range of dishes and all of them were tasty. The cafe was busy when we visited and one of my party had to wait for their meal for about 5 minutes after the rest of us were served, but otherwise service was good and staff helpful.The cafe is quite cramped and there is no where for push chairs, and if you visit on a cold day try and get a table away from the door. I was subjected to a cold draught every time the door opened and customers failed to close it behind them.Accessiblity is a problem for customers with mobilty difficulties as there are steps and passage ways are narrow. The toilets are up very steep stairs too which may make this venue unsuitable for some.They serve a good flat white coffee.

Walking along the High Street on a chilly lunchtime, we saw an A board advertising hot soup so we went in. It was the Cabin Dairy where a café has been created from a small Essex weatherboarded cottage. The small rooms probably seated about 3 dozen when all tables were taken. There was a takeaway counter at the front of the place and outside by the war memorial was space for more tables and chairs when the weather was warmer.We had our soup and roll and tea and it was all quite satisfactory. The menu offered standard café fare at quite modest prices. It also warned that everything was freshly cooked to order so there could be some waiting time before a meal arrived. Does breakfast, lunch and afternoon tea. The toilet was spotlessly clean but up a steep flight of stairs, typical of fishermen's small cottages. No cards taken.

I've had a few breakfasts in The Cabin and always been happy with the food and the service. Lovely coffee too, best in Burnham!

Small but really nice food and if the sun is shining you can have a table outside. Service was excellent too.

As much as we love the food here it is obvious that the management do not read the reviews on here. We understand that there is a waiting time as food is cooked fresh to order but today was a joke. Over an hour for one breakfast and one sandwich. The staff still do not make you feel at all welcome and when my husband asked for water he was given a warm bottle without a glass. The bread to accompany his breakfast was stale. The manager didn't even offer us free drinks as we had to wait so long for our food we finished them an hour before we got our food. The staff really do need to make an effort and we have decided to longer come here and to stick to the parlour cafe as at least there they do greet you with a warm welcome.

The Cabin has upped its' game on the breakfast front. Full English breakfast was large, fresh and served swiftly. No complaints and a good place for a basic café breakfast.

Popped into this place for lunch and ordered two club sandwiches with tea and some fries What we got was two enormous BLT's plus egg mayo and chicken crisps home made coleslaw fries tea and a biscuit impressive. Friendly staff reasonable prices would recommend. Think next time we'll order one and split it

We went here Saturday morning for breakfast and were very happy with the slick service and high quality food. there were a lot of waiting staff ready to serve.

We haven't been to the Cabin Dairy for some while, the good thing is that nothing has changed, it is still a quaint building. Service is very good, staff welcome you with a smile, menu and prices are still very good. You may have to wait but that said its worth it as food is cooked fresh and tastes excellent. If you like you can also sit outside in a relaxed atmosphere. All in all very nice.

This place is going down hill, clearly relying on the bikers who use this place. The service use to be excellent but it seem the staff / owners are lazy. You have to place your order in side, then collect drinks and even condiments from the ice cream hatch. They even made a pensioner collect his own tea...shocking. Good food although a little expensive, I expect a hot drink to be included in their breakfast prices. PS we even had to put up own table and chair...owners start making an effort, there are better alternatives

5 of us for breakfast on a weekday the food was very good but the service was very slow drinks came about 10 mins after the food
