Kennet and Avon in Wiltshire

Lovely little coffee shop. Good customer service. Dog friendly and does take away tea and coffee. Plenty of seating outside.

Wow! Amazing catering for our canal boat event from this wonderful cafe. They met all the challenges we gave them and along side a marvellous array of sandwiches and jammy scones they created a divine gluten free coconut & lime cake for our celebrations. All beautifully presented and reasonably priced Thank you so much. Sarah & David

We ordered a buffet to be delivered to the Barbara Mclellan barge. The buffet was excellent, including dairy free and vegetarian platters. There was a good variety for all. Thank you for helping make this occasion special.

Lovely spot for coffee and cake by the canal! We really enjoyed our visit - the Victoria sponge cake was delicious - moist and lots of butter cream and jam. There’s a nice shaded outdoor terrace - plus a garden with tables, chairs and shades just above the terrace up a paved walkway. They offer nice sandwiches too - we had a tasty ham and cheese toaster. A great place to watch people using the lock in their narrow boats.

We stopped to have a break while walking along the canal during a short break in Bradford-on-Avon. We were greeted by a friendly and enthusiastic team, offering reasonably priced drinks, delicious cakes and toasties. Would call in again next time we’re in the area.

A beautiful spot with great food, but most importantly the loveliest staff. Breakfast or lunch we always have a happy time here watching the world go by. Thank you !

Lovely food in stunning surroundings.Glorious calm location amid beautiful countryside and the tranquilty of the canal.

Recently visited for coffee and cake together with family visiting from Belgium. The service was good, coffee and cakes were excellent and in a lovely location. What more could you want?

Lovely location with outdoor seating in the sun beside the canal. Friendly staff and great coffee and GF cake.

Very friendly and welcoming owner just popped in after a lovely canal walk for an ice cream. Looked a very popular venue.

Lovely cafe right on the canal, good selection of sandwiches we had toasted ham cheese and chutney, and the Brie ones with coleslaw and salad which were delicious staff very friendly cakes looked good too

Beautiful location, lovely little cafe with loads of seating outside. Had absolutely the best burger I've ever had and a very reasonable price.

This cafe, run by the mozt cheery bunch of volinteers, offers homemade cakes, patisserie, and other delicious snacks at very teadonable prices in the most convivial atmosphere. Whatever the weather you can enjoy the food and the boats , and boatpeople on the canal . You can also go on a trip down the Canal, or hire a rowboat. A most enjoyable experience in any weather or time of year.

We travelled up early on good Friday from the south coast to stay in Bradford on Avon as they do one of the best breakfast's . Such a lovely couple make you feel so welcome and dog friendly. Cake and coffee/tea also superb well worth a visit to sit by the lock with a meal/snack and (gongosel)

Very friendly and helpful staff, excellent service and the best tea ,scones and cakes.It will be one of our regulars.

Lovely cafe on the canal side towpath. Really friendly and helpful. Delicious home made cakes and scones served with plenty of clotted cream. Highly recommended

We arranged lunch for 22 friends to take aboard the Canal Trust's boat, the Barbara McLelan. The whole operation was very well organised and they catered well for a group of vegetarian/vegan/gluten intolerant individuals. Everybody enjoyed their food and the portions were generous.

We called to check on a canal trip while on holiday in the area. Helpful staff in finding us a leaflet regarding days & times. Explained booking system to us. On the day of trip 8/9/22 we called for a drink before boarding unfortunately it was a wet day so no outside sitting. Staff very pleasant & helpful.

Absolutely lovely. Great service and freshly made sandwiches were excellent. The staff could not have been more helpful or pleasant. Highly recommended

I absolutely cannot find a bad word to say about this cafe. Staff were friendly & approachable. Lovely views of the canal while waiting for our food & drinks. Excellent quality for the prices they charge.

Great service by friendly staff and food to match. As I am staying locally and spend a lot of time exploring the surrounding area, I thought I would pay this place a visit. I was not disappointed. Quality of food served was excellent and the staff were extremely friendly.

This a fabulous cafe! We stopped for breakfast and had a bacon bap and a sausage bap, they were both amazing with so much well cooked filling. The coffees were also excellent, great to find a cafe that puts quality, and service first!!

We visit the cafe most weekends. Mr Jones usually has a breakfast or sausage bap. Mrs Jones has toast & marmalade and both the tea & coffee are excellent. The food is always tasty, piping hot & very reasonably priced. The service is always with...

This is a great canalside place for your lunch by the Kennet & Avon . It was a short walk from the station to get here , but well worth it. Our food was just right for us , as there was a choice of...

Great location, lovely food and cakes and owners so friendly and welcoming. Can't fault it in any way. This place never disappoints.

Lovely afternoon tea in the sunshine overlooking the canal lock gates at Bradford on Avon. Can particularly recommend the scones although the cakes were fantastic too.

We arrived at this little cafe, wet, cold, covered in mud and rather miserable. The owner and his daughter could not have been more welcoming or friendly. The coffee and cake were superb and the location is of course beautiful. Would highly recommend. We'll be...

The walk back from Avoncliff is much better when you know that Canal Cafe is waiting for you to visit , great bacon bap

Family run, lovely setting, great food and always so welcoming. Better than the nearby places for breakfast with quality and carefully prepared food that won’t break the bank. Indoors or outdoors

What a way to start a lovely spring Sunday. The cafe was open and very picturesque on the lock. Lovely home made cakes. I had a breakfast bap which upon examination also had cheese inside. Got the sense that the sausage's bacon and egg were...

What a little gem. Friendly service, good fresh prepared food and cakes to die for. Will I return again....you bet

Reasonably priced food and very friendly staff who create a welcoming environment. I recommend if you’re in the area!

We've stopped here several times for coffee and cake during our canalside walks. Invariably we've had lovely cakes and great coffee. It's good to support the charity too as we get a lot of joy walking the towpath..

Lovely Food, excellent service and great location. Treated to an afternoon tea by my Mum, we were well catered for. The teas were very generous and at a very reasonable price. The scones were lovely and a good choice of sandwiches, accompanied by half a...

I’m so glad this place is open again and now with a bit of extra capacity. Watch the world go by next to a lock on the K&A canal. Lovely range of good quality coffees and they make a really smashing bacon butty, with proper...

Very pleasant experience today! Good clean food, friendly service, nice environment. Will visit again. Much nicer than many of the bigger pubs nearby.

I visited the cafe whilst on holiday with my family. We purchased four cakes; apple and cinnamon, two Victoria sponges and a chocolate and salted caramel brownie. The cakes were amazing. All were homemade. The staff were friendly and welcoming too. The cafe had a wonderful family orientated atmosphere.Wether you visit alone, with family or friends you’ll have a wonderful experience there. We found out about the cafe via a passer by as we were mooring our boat close by.

We are regular visitors. Lovely cafe next to the canal. Always great food and service, very friendly staff. Tried the cream tea today with fruit scones. Very tasty. Would definitely recommend this cafe.

Bahçesinde kanala karşı kahve keyfi yemyesil bir bahçe, harika lezzetler, güler yüzlü yaklaşım.Mola vermek ve kafa dinlemeye gitmek istiyorsanız üst kat bahçesi kesinlikle tavsiye ederim.

This cafe is quirky. It is located on the canal-side, accessible from the towpath. It is tiny but there is a fair amount of outdoor seating. All very good. The only comment is that their coffee machine is just too slow at busy times, being a prime source of their queues

Ideally situated for canal users, just by the lock, an excellent cafe, with good tasty food and proper tea!

Very friendly and helpful staff. Amazing sausage sandwich for breakfast. We sat in the upper garden under their large umbrellas as it started to rain. Nothing was too much trouble. Would definitely recommend a visit!

On a 100 mile cycle loop and stopped for a cup of tea. Tempted by bacon bap which was delicious. Soft white role with good thick bacon with just the right crispness. Extremely friendly family run affair. Add that to a beautiful setting... perfect

Hoping they are open as planning a visit this week, lovely friendly service and great tasty food. No matter how busy they are, there is never the feeling you don't matter to the owners.

A really quaint cafe in a stunning location with great food and excellent service. Came here around 12 years ago with the family but returned this time with just the wife and dog (minus the kids). It was great to retrace our steps along this beautiful stretch of canal. We popped in with our dog, who was welcomed with open arms and given a treat inside the cafe. My wife opted for a cream tea which looked great and I went for a beautiful piece of quiche with lovely fresh salad and dressing, homemade coleslaw, chunks of bread and a chutney. It was a great feed and lovely experience entirely. Would highly recommend this place and definitely return if back in this area!

the couple are lovely and welcoming and the scone and coffee were wonderful ...actually great coffee ... we came back twice and the scone ... one of the best !

Great cafe and dog friendly too which is great. 4 of us popped in for a cooked breakfast on a dog walk and were greeted by friendly smiling staff, we ordered our hot drinks & breakfasts and didn't have to wait long. The food was piping hot and plenty on the plate, it was delicious.We will be back again very soon. Highly recommended.

This cafe opened for the summer season on Saturday 29th February 2020 Opens daily at 0930 (except for Tuesdays in March) Seating inside and out Order and pay at the counter and food is bought to you Great service Toilets near by

Have been visiting regularly since 2016. However most cafés in the area only put up their prices once every two to three years. This cafe put up prices annually and then by a large margin. The food is lovely and well cooked but the owners lovely as they maybe are greedy. EgBacon bap 2016 £3.502017 £3.952018 £4.252019 £4.502020 £ 4.95A fiver for a bacon bapFull English2018 £7.252019 £7.952020 £8.50I think this might come back and bite them and is greedy . I will not order food again as a matter of principle and hope that they will see sense and not be so profiteering

First visit to this charming café. I enjoyed and good cup of coffee and home made cake served by freindly staff who gave me and my dogs a very welcome. Will be back soon for another visit.

Great location, nice to meet really friendly staff serving great food cooked to order followed by excellent coffee. Good menu nothing is to much trouble. Worth a visit

the place looks nice and is well presented , but the food was very average and the coffee was warm and not very nice, staff were polite and happy, not cheap and to be honest there are a lot better places, although it has the advantage of being canalside

Just such a wonderful, peaceful setting alongside canal. Great to sit and watch the canal boats come and go and also navigate lock. We just had coffe which was lovely.

So we popped in here with my boyfriend's mum as she was visiting us. It was quite quirky inside but this added charm to the venue. The only thing was we only had drinks because I am vegan, there was no option for cake (which is absolutely fine as this may not be an area they wish to expand to), however because I couldn't have one, both the people I was with didn't have anything as we just went else where and got a snack.

The food is fresh and of good quality in here. The staff are polite and friendly. It’s positioned by the canal too so you have a lovely view. Friendly atmosphere. Their cakes are so tasty

Live fairly locally so have been here a few times. After yesterday’s visit I thought I must review this lovely little place.

Try the mushroom and Brie toasted sandwich. It’s enormous, and comes served with a small side salad. Filling, delicious lunch with views over the canal.

This cafe has a lovely, relaxed and friendly vibe. It is especially delightful on sunny days when you can enjoy your food out in the garden. Right next to the canal so perfect for visitors to the town who want to have a look at the Lock. The cake is amazing and there is a wide variety of flavours. There are also many tasty savoury options. Would really recommend, particularly for families with young children.

Happy staff ,wonderful tea,relaxing garden at the back with good canal view. Quiet to start but then got busy staff coped well no waiting. Thoroughly recommend for a mindfulness moment.

During a short stay at Bradford-on-Avon, my wife and I had tea, coffee and cake at 'The Canal Trust Cafe'. We went back again the following day for a second helping of pineapple and coconut cake.

Visited yesterday, had cake and coffee first, walked along the canal then back for late lunch. Canal Ploughman's 1st class for husband and quiche and salad great for wife. Helpful, friendly staff with superb food and lovely garden to sit.

a busy establishment. lovely friendly staff who was very nice and helpful. great food served. definetly worth a visit

Amazing food and coffee. Beautiful views of the canal. Lovely garden with plenty of seats. I would definitely recommend a visit!

Stopped off here after holiday in Devon

Visited this little cafe on a gorgeous sunny day. We had cream teas with the most enormous scones, served with jam and cream and also a Marshfield Farm Ice cream for an adult and also a doggie version for the dog. The cakes looked amazing and we were met with a great welcome by friendly people. Will be returning soon.

I live near here and love to pop in for the Turkish Tales (now you'll know who I am, T!) and the absolutely scrummy Gluten Free chocolate caramel brownies. Coffee is delicious. Cafe is run by absolutely lovely people. Thank you

Lovely snacks and home made cakes served by very pleasant people.The prices are very reasonable and nothing is too much trouble.

We often pop in here for coffee and maybe a snack. Always good and overlooks the canal and lock which is usually busy and lots to enjoy.

We popped into the cafe as we had time to kill before a boat trip on the canal. It’s a lovely little place withe seating outside as well as inside. I had a Sausage sandwich with white bread and onion relish. My wife had a chicken/bacon mayo sandwich. Both were lovely and both were big! It was all reasonably priced. We will go back, we need to try their scones which were as big as a car. We would thoroughly recommend

We enjoyed great cake, blueberry sponge and carrot cake in the sunshine whist watching the world go by on the canal

Everything was lovely: the owners, the serving, the terrace overlooking the canal, but the giant scones with raising were absolutely delicious 👌❤️. I will definitely come back. And Bradford-on-Avon is postcard beautiful.

lovely cafe in a fantastic location on the canal in the beautiful town of Bradford on Avon where you can sit and watch the world go by. we have visited on many occasions for breakfast, lunch and afternoon cream tea's. Always a warm friendly welcome and fantastic home made cakes with the best cream tea's ever, would 100% recommend it.

Spent the afternoon walking the K&A; canal which started with the canal lunch at the canal trust cafe. Lovely food and quick service. Good prices. Then after walking down the canal to Avoncliff and back we stopped here again for coffee and cake! Again good prices, good service and lovely food.

Lovely friendly welcome. Great little cafe. The scones are amazing & huge, best cream tea I’ve ever had! 100% recommended. Can’t wait to come back and try the breakfast waffles!

Lovely little cafe along the canal side right opposite a lock. Plenty of seats inside or outside. Lovely selection of cakes, but the stand out has to be the cream teas. Scones baked daily on site are massive with a genourous serving of clotted cream and strawberry jam. A lovely way to watch the boats go by. Open daily in the summer, but has restricted hours in the winter.

Great simple cafe to pop into simple fare simply done Friendly staff warm welcome Inside and outside seating fabulous location

Found this little gem when we stopped to stretch our legs, a little too late for lunch but enjoyed a lovely selection of cakes and hot drinks. Right next to the canal and lock it’s the perfect place to stop and enjoy great service in a charming cafe.

We're staying at nearby Widbrook Grange and have walked here twice in as many days - yesterday for lunch and today for the most amazing cream tea. Friendly staff who welcomed both us and our dog with open arms and generous portions. Might yet be back again!

We've been visiting here weekly throughout the summer and it's always a warm welcome, good coffee, tasty breakfasts and pies to die for.

Great value and good cafe choice of food, good location and very pleasant staff. Garden is very pleasant to sit in during fine weather.

Overlooking the Kennet and Avon Canal in the idyllic town of Bradford on Avon. Sitting in the sunshine enjoying the most luscious scone ever tasted - its enormous - butter/jam/cream. Coffee strong and tasty! Friendly welcome - a delight to visit

We were greeted by the owner who was really welcoming and friendly whilst taking our order. We sat outside on the tiered lawn enjoying the sunshine whilst waiting for our food which did not take long to arrive. We had bacon, Brie and cranberry sandwiches on brown bread with a side order of fries. Absolutely perfect, tasted delicious and served with salad garnish. Very filling and satisfied. The server was very cheerful and nothing too much trouble. I would highly recommend this cafe and will be going back.

Overlooking the canal at Bradford on Avon is the Canal Trust Cafe which you can easily walk along the canal to, or drive as there is a car park close by.

We've had lunch there and coffee, but to be honest, we really mostly go for their scrumptious brownies. The location is lovely, along the canal and near the lock, so always something to watch.

The food was fantastic and there was plenty for everyone, Gluten free option was brilliant. The staff in the cafe and on the boat were all very helpful and very friendly. Would recommend to anyone for a special occasion.

We popped into this Cafe on Friday to pick up some takeaway cake and a doggy ice cream for our pooch after a nice walk. We did plan to stop for one of their amazing cream teas but due to the soggy weather we decide to get a takeaway cake to enjoy at home. We've visited this cafe on several occasions for breakfast, lunch and their HUGE but delicious scones. The staff are always so happy and friendly and it certainly is a little gem of Bradford and a great doggy friendly place to stop for refreshments with your 4 legged friend.

After having a lovely Sunday morning stroll along the canal we stopped here to buy a postcard but as soon as we went in the temptation was too much. A wonderful selection of cakes and scones was just too much to ignore, so even though we’d eaten a large breakfast earlier we shared a slice of lime and coconut cake with our tea. We sat outside in the sun and watched the boats coming and going through the lock. Wish we’d had room for lunch as it all looked so good. A truly wonderful spot, we could have sat there all day.

We love this cafe! We regularly stop in for a tea and cake or sometimes breakfast and we are always given the warmest of welcomes. Our children love it and are always greeted with a smile and enthusiasm. The scones are amazing and the breakfasts are delicious. In fact all the food we’ve had there has been amazing. I would thoroughly recommend this cafe.

It has to be said that this is one of our most favourite places and we visit often as a couple and with family and friends. There is always a warm and friendly welcome here and you will enjoy all that the menu offers. Breakfast is superb, the homemade cakes are to die for and lunch is definitely worth a try. Good portions and you will not be disappointed!

What a lovely spot to have a tea or coffee and watch all the boats going in and out of the lock, staff very friendly .will go back soon.

This little cafe is well worth a visit when in Bradford-on-Avon. You can always be assured of a cheerful and helpful welcome. The coffee is the best in the area and not over priced. The cakes and scones cannot be beaten anywhere and again fairly priced.

Had a drink here at the weekend. Staff very friendly. Scones cooked on site and were great. People were asking to buy some to take home! You can sit inside or out and watch the barges go by.

This cafe is located next to the canal and Bradford on Avon lock. The thing that sticks in the mind is the very friendly welcome and helpful attitude of the staff to all their visitors. Sitting in the cafe, one is struck by the amount of smiles and laughter but all this is topped by the excellent selection of food and drink available.

My wife and I always enjoy a visit to the Canal Trust Café.

This little place is a little GEM home made cakes delicious Cakes and a great breakfast, all the food is fresh plenty full and tasty. I would personally say the best coffee in the Town. Lovely freindlty service in a great spot.

Stopped here today after a walk by the canal. Hot sunny morning so sat outside at shaded table. Beautiful surroundings on very edge of canal and lock. Greeted by Alistair who reccomended the fruit scones while we were admiring them. They were the best scones we have ever tasted. Freshly baked, still warm and very big. Served with jam and cream if required.

We stopped off here after a stroll along the canal. It was late afternoon, but there was still enough choice from the delicious assortment of cakes. I had a biscuit slice, which contained chocolate & dried fruit, whilst the other 2 members of our group had a generous slice of carrot cake each. We also had a pot of tea each, including one Earl Grey. We opted to sit outside so we could watch the boats, but there was plenty of shade which was very welcome on a hot afternoon. The gentlemen who served us was very friendly, as was the young man outside mending his ice cream cart! It made a pleasant change & we would definitely go back. Great service & food!

What a find! Superb, huge, fresh-(daily)baked scones, and proper, freshly-(Bristol-)roasted espresso. (The cakes looked fabulous, too - again, all homemade, often triple-layered). And such friendly service. Lovely outside seating area but inside is beautifully cool in this hot weather.
