Without fail always absolutely fantastic food and service. Charred hispi cabbage with miso dressing and bacon breadcrumbs. Celeriac soup + chilli oil. Hand cut chips and fried egg on toast from the kids menu. I'm definitely returning for the Beef shin and peppercorn stew. Local ingredients fairly priced.

The building ambience and seating both inside & outside is very nice. Pretty garden. Good amenities. Spotless disabled toilet. Very clean and full of character. It's only drawback is food is rather limited on the limited menu. Fresh locally produced and good quality food on offer but very limited choice with no flexibility or variation. Do not offer variations with the breakfast menu, though cooked beautifully and presented nicely I really enjoy warm cereals for example, like porridge, or pancakes but they do not offer porridge or croissants or even a nice selection of basic sandwiches like egg cress ham & cheese chutney prawn or a ploughmans to suit all tastes which is disappointing . They do have sourdough bread and a choice of brown or white but not a full choice of breads with flexible options. Food is expensive here. Home made cakes are very disappointing. Mainly boring tray bakes, they dont offer a wide enough selection of delicious sponge cakes at all so it's a limited menu indeed. Staff are helpful pleasant and polite. Fine place for coffee tea hot chocolate. A peaceful place. Predominantly for adults though children are welcome. I didn't see any high chairs. Limited parking. Very close to town.

I’ve been to Cast cafe four times in the past three weeks (a tad obsessed at this point) and I can safely say it’s my new favourite place to eat and drink! The food has always been excellent and the coffee is an absolute delight, plus the staff are always welcoming and friendly too. I invited some friends down with me the last few times and now they’re waxing lyrical too. All in all a really cool little place, looking forward to our next visit for poached eggs and chorizo!

I absolutely LOVE this place. It’s not a “caff” in the British understanding (and pronunciation) of that term. It’s more like a coffeehouse with a small menu of very well considered and expertly prepared lunch (and breakfast) options. I need one of these places near me where I live in London, because it puts our local coffeehouses to shame.

It's lovely. Smiley friendly chap serving, so felt welcome. Good coffee. Yummy breakfasts. Wood burning stove. Fabulous hillside views. Music was gentle mor genres and not too loud which is fabulous because so many cafes have hideous tinny muzak, heavy on bass and far too intrusive to allow you to relax - so that is a huge plus about thus place. We will be back! Updated to say: all the above still true. Really lovely coffee & friendly welcome too :) (A notch down on music volume would help ... even though it was the fabulous Khrangubang 👍 (i think) 🙂 )

Great dinner! This place is a real surprise, the Cast Cafè is a real restaurant where high quality dishes with a strong personality are served in a comfortable and contemporary setting. The crab arancini are a must, the beef stew is wonderful on the palate, among the appetizers, all excellent, the stir-fried chorizo ​​stands out. Quality bread, fresh and local ingredients. Absolutely recommended.

Came here for a coffee and also dinner in the same day! Coffee was great - they use Yallah which I love. There was decent Wi-Fi and it’s a quiet space so would be perfect for work or study, although I don’t know if they endorse this. Dinner was delicious and reasonably priced. I had a lovely well made negroni and the house red which definitely delivered. We had the chorizo which was crispy on the outside and pleasantly soft on the inside, along with kalamata olives and fresh bread - all great. Following this we had tagine with a garlicky bean mash which was excellent. Confidently flavoured and a generous portion. The staff were polite, attentive, and helpful. I would absolutely recommend this spot for either a daytime or evening visit.

All courses were unpretentious and made from scratch using local good quality ingredients. Ambiance was lovely - liked the fact that as an event everyone had bought tickets in advance and were obviously looking forward to it and excited to be there.
