The food quality is impeccable and cannot be beat locally. The new teriyaki chicken artisan sandwich on the menu I could eat for every meal, forever. Yeah it's really that good. The service has come along way in the last year, Fables is now overall the best place to grab breakfast or lunch within a 50 mile radius.

As Australian's, we know our coffee. And this coffee house served us one of the nicest coffees we've drunk, since we arrived in England 2 months ago....oh, and do try a piece of their triple chocolate stuffed cookie pie, OMG, delicious 😋 😍

Never disappointed with food every plate that comes out the kitchen is well presented and looks amazing! Cakes are all homemade it’s difficult to choose between them.Their signature cinnamon buns freshly baked every day are devine… thank god I don’t live nearer I’d be the size of a house haha On the odd occasion you can wait a bit longer for your coffee but that’s the only negative! It’s all worth the wait! Jayne and Chris

Honestly don’t know why people rave about this place, it’s on my doorstep so I end up going often in groups etc, but every single time there’s a problem with my order, in fact there’s been one time that I can remember not having to send food back or complain in five years or so. The staff are nice but having worked in restaurants and ran cafes and bars, you get to know the drill, but to have the “chef” come out and look at you after complaining is another level of poor customer service.

Lovely converted old library with seating outside for dog owners . Some tables have large parasols ( ideal for inclement weather ). Dominic , our server was courteous and very friendly ( advising us of a forty minute wait for food service ), which only turned out to be fifteen minutes. Chose the Ploughman’s Sandwich , a super twist on the conventional ploughman’s - pulled ham hock with salad leaves , tomato’s, cheese and a delicious chutney. Accompanied with a mini pork pie, ramekin of pickle onions, homemade Apple coleslaw , and large seasoned potato wedges . Good value for money and ideal for a lunch time meal . Service was excellent , and managed to get a table as other diners left ( was quite busy for a Saturday afternoon- not sure if booking is judicious, especially if you want to sit inside ). Overall We enjoyed our meal and the service we received.

Looks such a lovely place, great food and drink options. Alas poor service. Arrived and was seated fairly quickly, given menus and then totally ignored. We were ready to order in minutes, appreciate it was busy but an acknowledgment from the waiter as he passed us multiple times to say he’d be with us soon, would have helped. One waitress clearing tables could have taken our order. No acknowledgement as we got up to leave and get our coats on. Customer service training for this situation would be an idea.

Brilliant staff and the food is always fresh and amazing, We've had brekkie here a few times and the high standards are always the same. Make sure that you take a piece of the many amazing cakes home...... We had previously rated 5 stars but upon the last couple of visits the hot chocolate and mocha have been subpar (even after loads of stirring) not sure if the chocolate has changed or if they are now using less chocolate then previous visits. We have also visited to have one of the amazing cinnamon rolls but on the last 3 visits they haven't been available even though on one of the visits we had ordered them for when we leave and been told they are available but upon paying we had been informed that they had only just been put in the oven even though we had ordered 45 mins previously. It's a real shame as the place is lovely, the staff friendly and the other food is to the same high standard

Last night, I enjoyed The Archer’s Christmas menu with friends—an experience that was wonderful from beginning to end. The food was of outstanding quality, with a generous portion. The staff’s warmth and attentiveness added a special touch, making our evening truly memorable. For those seeking an affordable yet high-quality meal, I highly recommend The Archer.
