Mill Park Cafe in Bracknell Forest

Really good breakfast at a reasonable price.?Definitely worth a visit to this little hidden Jem. Food is plentiful and well cooked.

Lovely breakfast, Lovely people Great value for money Beautiful location to relax & loads of wildlife to see, Well worth going to visit. 👍👍

First time at Mill Park Cafe and food was lovely. My Husband had a sausage bap while I had egg and mushrooms on toast. Sat by the window looking out to Mill Pond. Lovely scenery, lovely food and lovely customer service. Will most definitely go again. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Been to this cafe a few times and each time it’s been a great experience. Orders are taken swiftly & your food comes just as fast. Hot tasty & very filling. The staff are friendly interested efficient and knowledgeable. The chef is to be commended & is also very much a good bit of eye candy for the ladies & me. Set in a park with a few outside things to see and do this establishment has it all in my opinion. Oh and is also good price wise in this day & age. To all those people who had cause to complain & pick fault over the tiniest of issues be it staff or food served I really suggest you should visit this place as from reading some of the negative scribbles as I find it hard to believe you visited at all as all these pathetic picky complaints have never occurred when me & my fella have visited & maybe you should understand that lies of what did or didn’t occur can be hurtful & damaging to a business that in my opinion offers a great service of food atmosphere and prices. Sad to say but some people would complain if they found a winning lottery ticket because they had to bend down & pick it up.

Went there with my family for breakfast the staff were all friendly and chatty. Can’t fault the food it was delicious as it always is.

Had a great breakfast that the whole family enjoyed and it was good value for money. Lovely friendly staff. Highly recommend a visit.

First visit after hearing good reports. Very decent fried breakfast including toast and coffee £9.70. Polite service and food came after about 5 minutes. Good location by the pond, probably very nice in summer. Minor point - Felt less than airy inside, no doubt due to proximity of kitchen. Overall, very good and will return for occasional visit.

Excellent food and highly recommend the breakfasts and it’s also a very clean cafe! The staff are always friendly and welcoming.

Went today Saturday for a fried breakfast and wasn't disappointed. The staff are very friendly and helpful and the food was absolutely delicious. Why anybody would sit in the queue for McDonald's I dont know. Best cafe in Bracknell for sure. Well done to you all.

What a gem called here for breakfast and not disappointed. Met the most wonderful staff so friendly and accommodating. Ate a really well cooked small plate breakfast which was cooked to perfection along with coffee. This is a loverly cafe set beside a pond and any money you pop in the charity pot goes to buy food for the ducks and birds. So cute. It is so homely and spotlessly clean. The bathroom facilities are also very clean.

Such a lovely friendly place. Greeted with a smile by everyone. The food is always spot on never had a complaint.

Lovely staff and very competitive prices for good solid English breakfast. Somewhat dated but that is part of its charm. Have been a few times when in the area and hope to return.

We only started going to Mill Pond Cafe for full English breakfast, a few months ago. Staff are very pleasant and friendly. Would recommend to any to visit the mill pond cafe.

its been over a year since i have been in what with all this lock down malarkey, but honestly this is one of the best cafes ive ever eaten in. the place is always spotlessly clean, like surgical clean, the food is always bang on and the lady who owns it is always such a nice person as are all staff to be fair. they do have problems with people sitting on their outside bench area and trying to eat food purchased els where despite there being a big sign(just read a “reviewer” moaning about this Cafe and it appears she is one of those people! inspired me to write this review 😂) AND the Macdonalds customers blocking up the hill, gotta be honest ive been passing a few times and fancied a breakfast but didnt really have the time to que in traffic down the hill! so yeah, just a proper bang on good cafe 👍🏻

Me and my partner treated ourselves to a proper cooked English breakfast, the first time we had patronised this venue for months due to restrictions imposed on us by the corona virus crisis. We never regretted our visits in the past, and are glad to report the venue remains very satisfactory for a traditional breakfast. When the weather is nice, as it was this morning, the veranda is a most pleasant place to spend an hour or so.

My second review of this place and nothing has changed. A lovely, friendly cafe..where the fry ups aren't too greasy! Hot, well cooked decent portions of breakfast heaven. Avoid the nearby McDonald's and give these guys a go. Lush.

Thank you to all the Mill Park Cafe team who make eating here such a great experience. The welcome is always warm and friendly. The food is excellent with a wide choice of dishes and the ingredients of a very high quality. The premises are always clean and family friendly with highchairs and a mix of table sizes. We regularly eat breakfast here and bring friends and family, and we all agree, Mill Park Cafe serves the best breakfast in Bracknell.

Always great food and the staff are so friendly, always come out of there with a smile and a proper full belly

Am fairly new to the area and was walking my daughter's dog around the pond this morning and noticed the cafe was opened. I just stopped briefly for a cuppa and Sat outside looking over the lake. I was so impressed I met my husband there for lunch. We had a warm welcome and ordered two breakfasts which came quickly and we asked for ketchup, pepper etc which arrived immediately. The food was fresh and hot and I was impressed with the anti COVID protection in place, they keep everything deep cleaned. The only disadvantage with the location is the constant queue for McDonald's slowing access to the park and cafe. A shame that they can't have a different access but it is a minor point.

I have been coming to the cafe for over 15 years and I've never been disappointed with the food and friendly service, the only downfall would be fighting your way down the hill to get through the McDonalds customers, why they wouldn't prefer a hearty fry up over a McDonalds is beyond me cos I know what I'd prefer

What an amazing cafe, the food is the best in Bracknell, the staff are very polite, couldn’t do enough for you, I highly recommend a breakfast or lunch at this cafe. Keep up the excellent service.

Yet another fantastic breakfast. Love coming here for my Saturday morning munch. Great food and lovely people and the view of the lake isn’t bad either!!!Would highly recommend this venue.

Been meeting with friends a couple of times a week at the Mill Pond cafe,must say I have never been disappointed,food quality,portion size and nice friendly staff all making it an enjoyable place to eat in a lovely location...if we decide to go for breakfast this is always the first and last place we decide on!!! Excellent 5/5

As it was my birthday yesterday I asked two of my family members if they wanted to meet me at the cafe for my birthday. Of course they said yes! The food arrived quickly after placing our order and as with all our visits we were not disappointed and all of us left clean plates! The staff were friendly as always and with the new COVID rules they provided fantastic service. Checking that we were ok and whether we needed anything else. We didn’t have to get up once. Not only that but my mother who had informed the staff that it happened to be my birthday and with that a few minutes later the staff arrived with a candle in some cake and all wished me a very happy birthday. This was such a lovely touch and I was not expecting it. So thank you all at Mill Park Cafe. The cafe always has such a friendly and welcome atmosphere and I would recommend anyone to go here. I will be coming back.

After reading several reviews for somewhere nice to go for breakfast, I chose the Mill Park Cafe almost guaranteeing a good experience. I couldn’t have been more wrong. The gentleman that took my order, didn’t seem to understand the difference between white and brown toast so I gave up and just ordered white. The said toast unfortunately did not arrive at our table with our breakfasts. I had already had to get up once for the condiments which were not brought to our table so was quite disgruntled that I had to get up again after waiting a few minutes for the toast to arrive. When it did arrive, there was a portion missing and it was cold. The bacon and sausage were not of any substantial quality, quite poor to be honest, and my egg was hard. The best thing we’re the hash browns but without a runny egg, yet another disappointment. All in all, if the staff had been friendly and welcoming, that could have made our visit here a bit better but that too was not delivered. Must have been a bad day in all departments. Extremely gutted that I picked this place.

Went for breakfast this morning, food was ok but waited an extra 5 minutes for toast, came out cold and dry, didn’t get offered any sauces or salt and pepper had to get up and ask, the staff was miserable because my mother in law went up and asked for the toast we paid and ordered they started giving dirty looks, very poor customer service! Would deffo Avoid going hear again.

As a South African we love a big English Breakfast? Mill Park Cafe never disappoints. A great portion at a reasonable price. Lovely setting. If you are in the area, a must. Yummy.

The best breakfast baguette and cup of tea I have had in as long as I can remember. Walk straight past Macdonalds and go here for breakfast!

We spotted this place on Trip Advisor and decided to give it a try. Well we weren't disappointed the little cafe is in a lovely setting on waters edge, The cafe itself was clean & comfortable we were served quickly by one of the two ladies serving we ordered two small breakfasts & two teas. We were served shortly after at our table the food was served hot & was delicious we will definitely go back next time we are visiting the area.

As always lovely service from friendly helpful staff and as always lovely food at good prices , good value for money by far the best full English breakfast

We were just in time for our snack :-).Worth noting that the kitchen closes at 1.30, even though the opening time is until 2 pm. Enjoyed our brunch overlooking the pond. Very friendly people and good value. There is no fancy coffee machine, if that is important for you.

This morning was the day to experience something new and the 3 of us were not disappointed. My daughter really enjoyed her small breakfast and I enjoyed a large one. 2 coffees. £12.50. Bargain. Food well cooked. Portions generous. Seems very under-utilised? Staff very friendly. Cafe very clean. Would definitely recommend and in my daughters words “This beats McDonalds by miles.” Enough said. Looking forward to returning. Thank you for a lovely start to the day.

Had an excellent breakfast this morning after a 150 mile drive. Best breakfast around lovely owner. Come here all the time if we lived nearer.

The breakfasts at Mill Park are second to none.Big portions and really good value for money.The people who own and run the place are very friendly, the food is good quality and i noticed they have a 5 star hygiene rating.Well worth driving past McDonald's for!!

It's a nice little place . Good service . Breakfast is quite pleasant and well priced . Only complaint is the brown sauce . It's vile I suspect that it's the very very cheapest available , I love brown sauce with a full English but their stuff ruins what is a pretty good breaky

Consistently delicious breakfasts at reasonable prices. Friendly, efficient service. Our favourite place to go for breakfast whenever we visit Bracknell. After breakfast, go for a walk around the pond or let the kids play on the jungle gyms.

Came here today by chance. Lovely food at reasonable prices. Great cup of tea. Clean cafe with views over the lake. Only downside need cash - we didn’t have quite enough and the staff very kindly gave us free cups of tea. Would highly recommend and much better than the generic and very busy Macdonalds nearby. Plus great park outside.

Great little cafe for a cooked breakfast. Great value with a welcoming homely feel. I doubt the sausages can be tracked back to a free range field but this place are doing everything right and I cannot recommend them enough. Thank you!

We visited Mill Park Cafe a couple of weeks ago before my brothers wedding. There were around 15 or so of us dining first thing in the morning. The service we received was amazing. The staff were very kind and didn’t bat an eyelid at the indecisive bunch I was with who kept adding to/changing their order. The food was lovely! And we were not kept waiting long! We will definitely visit here again!

Always pop in here for a traditional english breakfast when in the UK. Good selection of food and I always enjoy the meal, looking out to the pond immediately outside. Friendly owner too.

Lovely little lake, a nice place to take the kids for a walk and a decent and non-expensive fry up served on huge oval plates. Served up with a great cup-a-tea, you can't go wrong.

Food came freshly cooked and staff were very friendly and accommodating. As there were 12 of us the staff were more than happy to assist us all although it was close to closing time.

Have been several times.A great cafe lovely cooked breakfast as always and a very good price. The staff are always friendly and helpful nothing is to much trouble. It is always clean and tidy including the toilets. The food is always freshly cooked.

We had a lovely breakfast served by friendly helpful staff , good prices , lovely food . The cafe was clean and tidy suitable for all with plenty of free car parking well worth a visit

Just Top grub at a good price, and you get to see the Ducks as well. They do a Veggie option as well. Full English and a Mug of tea, can it be much better?

We were in Bracknell again visiting family and we were not disappointed with the quality of the food we got again we had breakfasts which were perfect, the staff, here are priceless always welcoming and generally pleased to see you. If you want a great breakfast with pleasant people then try this place you will not be disappointed

Nice location that serves a good breakfast. Certainly much preferred over the McDonalds next door. Some benches for outdoor dining if the wether suits.

Great full English breakfast always cooked perfectly;nice clean cafe;nice friendly staff overlooking the mill pond a little diamond !

Fantastic place that's tucked away, great quality food with a homely twist, felt very welcomed by the staff. Great food and at a good price too. Remember your cash though as its charmingly old skool by not taking cards :) well worth the visit,!!

Popped in here for a much needed breakfast after the birth of our new baby daughter - we were warmly welcomed by a lovely team, nothing was too much trouble and the breakfast was top draw at a fantastic price! We would highly recommend to anyone looking for a good hearty breakfast..........we will definitely be back : )

Excellent perfectly cooked breakfast. Must be popular as sometimes difficult to get a seat right away. Owner/server understands customer service.

Heard about it for a while and only just been. Great breakfast at a decent price and prime location (for...

A beautifully located restaurant overlooking the lake, The staff go above and beyond their role, Very knowledgeable and freely sharing...

With out a doubt the best breakfast in town the staff are uber friendly and it's a pleasure to eat here the food is brilliant and the full English is great value can't beat this cafe....

Popped in on Saturday with wife and littlun, driving past McDonalds my little boy said are we getting a happy meal, said no mate we're off to the café, he said ooh yummy fry-up... Always a lovely place to visit, super friendly staff, tasty and hot food and good ingredients and at a cracking price Proper He-Man tea too so win, win.

Had a big breakfast and a small breakfast. Both really tasty and the food was delivered with the usual speed and cheeriness. These guys work really hard and are really proud of their business. The cutlery was spotless, as was the building and the loos. Thanks guys! Recommend. See you soon

What a gem, fab food, great service - we were a bit short in cash and were allowed to have the food we wanted with the proviso to pass it on! Such a lovely thing to do, it made our morning. So we will and will recommend this to everyone in or out of Bracknell. We will definitely go back there again when visiting friends next time. :-)

Drive past all the queuing cars for MacDonald's and enjoy more traditional cafe food. A couple of benches outside and enjoy the view. Simple fare but good value, don't change anything!

Popped down Saturday for some brunch with the wife to be meet with a warm welcome and a smile top block great staff and a cracking fry up fair prices nice atmosphere

Exactly what we were looking for. Thank you. A good old-fashioned fry-up in a cafe by the pond. All the staff were really helpful and friendly. Exceptional value for money. Would definitely go again. Only downside is the Macdonalds traffic but that's not Mill Park's fault.

Sadly went to this establishment this morning having read the reviews. Absolutely awful. Asked for 2 teas.... just a mug, teabag dunked in and taken out when they decide it is ready, milk poured in without asking if we want any. Plastic spoons. Nothing to eat other than cooked food, no cake or scones on offer.So sad when such a beautiful setting has such a poor cafe.Will not return.

We go here regularly when we visit family in Bracknell we have never had a bad meal here all the staff are great polite helpful and friendly. Its just a great family run business welcoming all

Typical no frills café serving reasonably priced breakfast and rolls.Sausage and bacon bap, mug of tea and use of daily newspaper for £4.70 overlooking Mill Pond.

Great parking you don't have to pay or have change for metres never full. Small place not fancy but great for when you want a fry up. Good food. Good service, nice staff, very polite and helpful. I got there late they were almost closed and they still served me another drink to take away, good attitude to customer service. Overlooks the lake that you can walk around in twenty mins if you want to walk off your breakfast closes early so get there by early afternoon.

Have visited Mill Park Cafe many times and today. The owner is Arron, with two staff helping......outstanding service for a small Cafe. Arron and staff have a very friendly and yet profession and 100% service, excellent attitude.This is a small cafe, very clean and have attracted many people with children.Cafe is at Mill Pond area, passing McDonald via a private road.The vicinity also caters children playing area and ofcourse the pond with different species of duck ect.My friends and I tend to go on walks.......Wednesdays and our walk ends with a nice cup of coffee at this cafe.

Nice breakfast with view over pond and ducks. Play area for the.kids as well. A McDonald's is 100 mtrs away and outside keep fit gym.

I have eaten in here a ton of times and I will eat here again and again because its good food and great value and if the suns out you can eat outside with the duck and geese, Not the best fry up you can get but great none the less.

Lovely breakfast! I definitely recommend this cafe ! Filling and cooked with love. Great value also.

All good. A reason to visit Bracknell...good quality fry up and generous portions. Could offer a few more set menu options but overall top marks for the grub. Hot, tasty and not too greasy. Eggs were lovely! And the bacon... Crispy as requested!

This is an update review. I did a review over a year ago. I have now been returning to this cafe for a year and a bit (maybe two years) because it's good value for money and I like good food. I enjoyed a really good cooked breakfast there last weekend. It's great as ever. Nothing has changed!

Went here as lived in the area for three years and never been. Wasn't expecting much but you should never judge a book by its cover. It was clean, the staff were friendly and helpful and it's a lovely setting overlooking the pond. The breakfast was reasonably priced, hot and plentiful. Thank you for a great breakfast. A++++

I often use this Café for a good breakfast as it is good value and enjoyable! Clean, friendly, family run but basic décor, it is what it is, a good café. The only problem we struggle with is opening times? Sometimes we have arrived to find it closed? AND ... (and I know this annoys the owner) sometimes the road in can be difficult due to the big queue for the McDonalds at the entrance. If you're hungry go here. Its next to the pond and children's play area.

You're wrong to suggest that dogs are not allowed in an area where food is being consumed. Dogs are. Dogs are not allowed in an area where food is being *prepared* so that is the *KITCHEN* not the dining area. Rather fed up with hearing this argument by proprietors who are rather ill informed. Didn't bother going in as couldn't order - no dogs allowed.

Honest good English breakfast at a good price in a clean and friendly environment. You'll struggle to find better. I know about Ashridge farm and while that is also good, it's well over priced by comparison. Keep it up!

Too few places like this little cafe around, and it's perfectly located next to Mill Pond so you can enjoy a walk before or after a meal. Full English breakfasts, mix it up options available and the food is always tasty and great value.

Spot on breakie served here. Best cafe in the area by a mile. Friendly service proper cuppa cheap as chips!

Very nice food and staff would be coming to the cafe again yummy. The mushrooms are the scrumiest not watery but still have a bite! Eggs are yummy and the whole breakfast.

On Saturday mornings McDonalds can't manage their drive thru very effectively and cause traffic build up on the road leading to the cafe so don't be put off as it only took us about 5-10mins.Spoke to McDonalds and they have been trying to get permission from the council to put an extra lane in but have failed to get permission so far!We go here during the week for breakfast from work and I have visited today Saturday with family.Food is good and fairly priced.Doesn't take very long to come out either.You must try the mushrooms with your breakfast...

This is definitely the best café in Bracknell, great food always fresh and cooked to perfection. Staff are always friendly and accommadate fussy eaters, my family and I wouldnt go anywhere else. Well done to the family who run it.

Took my wife and son for, what we were hoping a good old fashion full English breakfast and some time feeding the ducks nearby. the café was clean and the staff were polite. Then the food came, our sausages were burnt on the outside and I think undercooked on the inside, bacon was chewy but ok. We finished quickly and headed off to feed the dozens of geese down the road. While feeding a groundkeeper walked over and yelled at my son, expecting the worse I grabbed my son away only for the man to tell me we were not allowed here because the café owner didn't want ducks on his patio ( this was far down by a bridge without any no feeding or trespassing signs). Prices were good.

It must be a southern thing. Not had a good breakfast down south and today was no exception. I had the large breakfast, bacon was tasteless and sausages very cheap and I had bits of bone in one. Eggs were good but whole thing swimming in tomato juice. Toast and tea not included either and NO BLACK PUDDING!!!!!In Rotherham next week, back to excellent breakfasts.

How refreshing to eat at an old-fashioned "caf", with good down-to-earth food. Much better than a "certain place" just across the road. The service was excellent as well. Do visit it if you are in the vacinity and feeling a bit peckish and just want a tea or coffee.

Absolutely love love love this place!!! Family run,friendly and the food is gorgeous!! Best breakfast in Bracknell!! Also a park next to the cafe ..so if you have kids it's a great place to visit!

We eat brekkie out and about on a Saturday morning every week now and this is definitely my 'go-to' place.Top notch veggie full English (hubby has the meat).Sets us up for the day ready to watch son's footy!

At £1 for a cuppa you can't go wrong. Friendly staff who appeared to know many of the customers. Very clean facilities and a much more pleasant experience than the other nearby food retailers.

Fed three of us for a great price and were very friendly chatty staff. Really yummy food and the loos were lovely and clean.

If you want a taste bud delight have your food at Mill Pond Cafe (known as Mill Park Cafe). It is family run and the food is freshly prepared and cooked to perfection. Good when you are just hungry or peckish but perfect for the all day breakfast enthusiasts. They work hard in this cafe but it pays off. Well done to all the team.

it is open sometimes, and it sells a breakfast , its ok . possible wait for your food if more than two customers are already present in the cafe

Great cafe for a good english breakfast at a good price far better quality than the famous Mc ds very close .and if you have any bread left or toast you can feed the ducks in the pond.

Clean, well maintained, nice surrounding area. Approach can be busy due to neighboring McDonalds. Good grub at reasonable prices. Would recommend.

5 stars for everything about this brilliant restaurantFrom food to staff.to cleanliness to location to costLove it.The place to.visit

This is the best breakfast experience you could ever enjoy within Bracknell Forest. Super scenery, excellent cleanliness, and the service provided is the greatest. We are regular visitors to the café, for both myself, daughter and entire family. The food is superb, and cooked to your exact specific flavour. Greatest service and staff you could ever expect. I love cooking myself, but with such an excellent service, food, scenery and price, it is a shame to cook at home, with such value for money and service provided at Mill Park.

We live locally but have never visited before.We were greeted warmly & politely by the owner. The breakfast was served swiftly, awesome fluffy scrambled eggs & proper freshly cut door step bread. I was very impressed with the cleanliness of the place. Nice & bright interior with a good view of the pond. We will make further visits on the mountain bikes after working up an appetite in the forest as we can lock the bikes within view.

I went out for family walk with the dog. The plan was to stop at the cafe for a lunchtime fry up. It was pouring down , everyone in there was soaked and it was your typical greasy spoon not exactly nicely fitted out and not a carpet in sight. None of this was an issue as I had my dog and I asked nicely if my extremely placid greyhound could come inside. He would have been out of the way, is clearly a quiet pet and if the owner had bothered to ask has never bitten or even barked. There was no where to tie him outside and no cover at all. The kids already in the cafe were delighted to pet a dog too.The guy in there who looked like an extra from the only way is essex was rude and laughed with his colleagues about my perfectly reasonable question. When I told him not to be rude he had the audacity to follow me outside in quite a confrontational manner he proceeded to explain the reasons why my dog was not allowed in. I did try to explain why I was annoyed but he was more interested in facing off to me. Not exactly what you want kids to see.I took my kids and dog to a lovely pub instead. My dog slept on the floor while we spent our money in a far more welcoming establishment. I should really have known better. Bracknell at its worse again.

The best in Bracknell for a yummy brekkie. Excellent atmosphere especially out on the benches with a coffee/tea watching the birds in summer. Well done Aaron, mum and Sam and the others whose names unfortunately I do not know :) Lots of love, the takeaway breakfast couple

Plenty of parking space.Always clean.Do a lovely fry up and are very friendly.I always have extra fried bread as don't have it at home and is never greasy.Lots of chat going on in there.Great for children,several high chairs and they have loads of choices for meals.Only problem I can see is because it is near McDonalds sometimes you have trouble getting there as the road can be blocked with cars,you just have to bite the bullet and go for it.

Lovely café in picturesque setting, over looking a lake. Great value food, and plenty of breakfast options to cover all ages, which was just what we need to break our journey from Portsmouth to Wycombe. If we are passing through again we will make a point of dropping in for another breakfast!

This is a functional cafe in pleasant surroundings for meals on the go to fill you up with large portions.. Friendly and helpful staff.

We don't get out for a cooked breakfast very often but when we do this is the place we go. The staff are so friendly and the food is excellent. And when you've eaten you can go for a stroll around the lake

As always a good quality breakfast, in a clean tidy environment, served by friendly, helpful staff and a great view as well. This family run cafe never lets us down.
