This is an unusual cafe/ cum restaurant. It is on the ground-floor of a residential home and is open to the public. It also trains young people with learning disabilities to enable them to find employment in catering. There were a large number of us, from the Rotary Club in the town. We had a three course set-menu of salmon roulade, beef pie and vegetables and a giant chocolate brownie with cream. There is also a good drinks menu with good value wines and a range of beers and other drinks. The service was very good.

We visited this cafe for coffee and seeing the standard of food being delivered to others, pushed us into having a couple of sandwiches which were delicious. The venue has sufficient staff and our order was taken quickly. The floor plan of the place is open and blends into a lounge like area for the residents of the building. It is worth noting because of limited parking adjacent to the building, it would be worth dropping your fellow guests first, then parking in Tesco’s on the opposite side of the main road.

As usual the service and food was excellent. The staff work so hard to make sure you have the best experience. I had jacket potato but my four friends each had an omelette. They swear by them!!

This is a wonderful place to go for a well-prepared and tasty meal or just a coffee and cake. It is a pleasure to be served by smiling staff who are so helpful and polite. I will definitely be returning

Quality of food and service are top class and fixed price menus are great value for money! Sunday lunch is excellent and is good value for the quality of food produced

Today we had an amazing Sunday roast here as a family. The service was excellent from the moment we walked in. The roast beef was beautiful, and my 3 year old ate all of her child’s portion too! I would also recommend the coconut sorbet… we cannot wait to return. Thanks guys x

Used this eatery when staying at the Premier Inn Saffron Walton a couple of years ago and there were no complaints then but things have changed. When we went to get our table at 7.30pm we were told that we weren’t being rushed but we need to get our orders in before 7.40pm or we wouldn’t be able to eat anything as the kitchen closes at 8.00pm. Once seated we were then presented with both the menu and a list, equally as long, of items that weren’t available on the menu. By this time we only had 8 minutes on the clock to decide whilst cross-checking the menu! The food itself was pretty average. After the meal we went to have one more drink in the bar. Once sat down with our drinks we were quickly told it was last orders, soon after that, around 5 minutes, all guests had to leave the bar. The England game was switched off half way through, maybe not a bad thing, and the door was practically slammed behind us as we were turfed into the lobby with the remainder of our drinks. I realise this is not the staff’s fault, they are only enforcing the rules but it all felt very rushed and stressful. Other guests were clearly annoyed by this. On the whole I think the opening hours could be handled better and something needs to be done about the lack of options, whatever the reasons, it was embarrassing.

The old punch bowl is the place to be at the week days and weekends, the selection of gins is a huge success. They offer great food at a reasonable price and worth your money, the team behind the bar are always helpful. They have a very good sized garden to enjoy a beer in the sun.
