We visit regularly at weekends, combined with a walk along the promenade, and it's always a pleasure to visit No.5. The staff are friendly and welcoming (and some of them remember what we usually order!) and the cakes are excellent, with a wide choice. We keep arriving too late to eat, but one day....

Beware. Digital payment only operation hence the one star not catering for users of cash. Then... Most of the baguette was outside the bread roll, which made it look amazing... but 'twas nearly impossible to eat. Added 20% to the menu price when it came to the bill. All very weasly, sneaky and cinfidence trick. I'm not even sure if tgats lawful. Menus have to invlude VAT. Insulting customers so not impressed. Also irritating, they then had the cheek to add £2.60 'tip' to the bill without telling us, which I only noticed just in time. Lovely spot, but the ban on cash and more-for-looks-than-eating food let it down.

Coffees and food came out quickly and we're high quality. Blankets provided for cold hungry cyclists and able to tuck the bikes in near our bench which is good as we wouldn't want them to be stolen. Recommend the Brioche with Bacon egg and Guac.

Food is good but service has gone downhill last couple of times I have been. Service has been great in the past. The last time I went specially for breakfast (until 11am on menu and I did arrive before 11am) only when ordering to be told they had stopped early. I wasn’t notified of this while waiting to order, or when being seated which was disappointing. Even though they had stopped breakfast early they would not allow ordering from lunch menu early and the only hot item they would serve us was toast or tea cake. Not great when you have a hungry child with you.

It’s Sunday so it’s Sunday Lunch at the best eatery on Clevedon Seafront - bar none! Roast Beef and Yorkshire Pudding! And if that’s not enough three different types of carrot, parsnips, roast potatoes and red cabbage. Did I enjoy it? Do bears …….in the woods. Absolutely! So that’s the reason for 5 stars on the food. Service and atmosphere. Safe to say, that all the staff have the supreme knack of making every customer feel welcome. That’s those 5 stars. So. What’s the difference between expensive and value for money. Simple - FIVE THE BEACH

Prime example of rip off Britain. 20 % Vat added on top of shown menu prices which were already very high. Then 10% service charge added. What a cheek. If I wanted to leave a tip I would do. You have no right to add this anyway. It should be illegal for your menu prices not to include VAT. You should be open and transparent, not crafty and sly.

This was a lovely place to be, but unfortunately the way the room was set up meant it was impossible to hear anyone other than my immediate neighbour, which was a shame as we'd booked it for a group! It was the summer holidays though, and perhaps during normal times it wouldn't be as busy - we reserved the table and all the tables around us were reserved as well, so it's very popular! Good selection and variety of vegetarian dishes although not vegan sadly. The wait staff were friendly and accommodating (they managed to communicate to the kitchen that we ordered a plain cheese sandwich without butter for a young relation and they didn't bat an eyelid!) Quiche of the day and leek fritters were the agreed favourites. They also had a varied drinks menu, including lots of soft drinks and herbal teas. Overall, a lovely café, but I wouldn't go back during the school holidays!

This place is OK and seems to be always busy it was bustling and we managed to get a table even though we didn't book. It is very expensive for a Seaview breakfast. Set me back a whopping £64 for 2 full English and 2 posh eggs on toast plus a cup of tea, mocha, hot chocolate and apple juice. Next time I'll find a Hungary horse or greggs and save the pennies!

As one might guess going from my profile picture, I'm a keen motorcyclist. Unfortunately motorcyclist and 'biker' are synonymous so when searching for new places to go and, in particular, new rest stops it becomes necessary to search the interweb for "biker cafes". I did this very thing yesterday, being at a loose end and fancying a ride to somewhere I've never been before, but without doing the whole 200 miles for fish & chips thing. So I punched "biker cafes" into Google and one of the places it suggested was The Bike Shed Cafe, next to the George Inn, just off the Gordano services exit of the M5. Suited up, I headed out for a pleasant enough ride and eventually stopped at The Bike Shed Cafe. With it being a bank holiday I fully expected it to be heaving with bikers, erm, sorry, motorcyclists. On arriving, though, there was only one other bike in the car park. As I was taking off my gloves and helmet the other guy on a motorbike approached his bike, as he was just leaving. We had a few minutes chat and a laugh among one another that we'd both done the same thing; asked Google to suggest a new place and had ended up here. As it happens, The Bike Shed Cafe caters more for your outdoorsy types and looking at the rack of mountain bikes just outside, the penny finally dropped that motorcyclists aren't quite the demographic they were targeting when this brainchild was first born into this world. The other guy and myself had a bit of a chuckle about that. However, my amusing (or not) anecdote about how I found this little place aside, let's get to the good stuff. Because good it absolutely is, and in reality I don't suppose they care whether you turn up on a motorcycle, a mountain bike or on horseback, we all spend the same money after all. The Bike Shed Cafe is a small annexe next to the George Inn. One presumes they are mutually affiliated. There is ample parking and being on the main road it is not difficult at all to find. The Bike Shed itself is a small outbuilding at the end of the carpark with a pleasant decked area adjacent for outdoor seating. It all looks and feels quite modern and well thought out. Inside I was greeted by a couple of nice young ladies who took my order and brought it out to me. The coffee was quite excellent - let's be honest, even in a world where it is impossible to throw a tea bag without hitting a coffee shop, really good coffee is not that common. I'm pleased to report that my americano with oat milk was at least a 9/10. On display at the counter was a vast selection of sweet cakey things which looked so tempting, but I'm trying to lose weight so I did my best to resist, but it was touch and go! I also ordered a cheese and chilli jam toastie, and again I was impressed with my choice. The bread was nice and thick and the cheese was oozing out of the sandwich so there was no skimping on any of the ingredients. Unfortunately, my diet was put on hold a bit yesterday after all! It came with a bitter green garnish of salad, but a few crisps on the side in addition would not have been unwelcome. Overall, though, it was most excellent and wouldn't hesitate to recommend this little coffee stop to anyone. It's highly unlikely but I hope my review gets enough attention from the motorcycle community to make this place a different kind of Bike Shed and next time I stop by there are a couple of dozen 'bikers' enjoying coffee and toasties in the bank holiday, ahem, sun.

Me decepcionó que la camarera solo nos presentó el menú de almuerzo completo cuando estábamos sentados, y no el menú de almuerzo ligero. Obviamente me dijeron que empujara las comidas principales más caras. Así que no es su culpa .. solo vi el menú de almuerzo más ligero en el camino de vuelta de usar el inodoro al lado del menú completo y después de ver sándwiches tostados saliendo a una gran mesa de damas que obviamente ha estado allí antes de que no quería ser confrontativo con las chicas jóvenes y cuestionarlas .. Las comidas que tuvimos eran muy caras por la calidad. La carne de res en el pastel tenía mucho grizzle y grasa en servido con una salsa de mostaza agria bastante extraña, en un caso duro de pastelería. La ensalada Cesar tenía un trozo muy duro de tocino seco, pollo empapado y parecía interminable lechuga iceburg. El helado era delicioso y el personal muy amable y profesional. Encantador entorno y ambiente. una pena que la calidad de la comida no era grande.
