Nell's Cafe in Gravesham - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Great little cafe, the staff are very friendly and the food was great too

A smashing traditional cafe, easily accessible from the A2, offering something for everyone from breakfast through to lunch and dinner. Be warned - portions are huge - takeaway boxes are available. My goodness, I thought I could eat!! There’s always a warm welcome from the friendly staff, and the meals are well cooked. Very, very good value. It’s always spotlessly clean. Take a menu, find a table, order from the counter and your food is brought to the table.

A great biker friendly cafe. Fast service, clean and tidy, food was great and the staff were happy and chatty.

A friendly accommodating cafe, staff are always pleasant., excellent breakfast and service. Thank you.

Great cafe good service value for money

Great breakfast as always. Fast friendly service.

Haven’t been to Nell’s cafe in about 15 years ! Still have great food, great prices and lovely staff. Will definitely be coming back soon

Quality cafe. Never fails to deliver an awesome breakfast. Staff spot on and nothings too much bother…. Offers a wide range of breakfasts, which you can tailor to what you like… and the lunch/ dinner menu is just as good.

We are new in this area and we went to try this cafe and it is the best we’ve ever had we will surely come back for more as we already had it twice this week you get 3 toasted slices of bread one jumbo sausage, beans, bacon and egg even an extra portion of chips all together costing under £10. 10/10 experience and food highly recommend!

Wow we went in for Breakfast, the menu is great the staff are very friendly, the food and service was amazing highly recommended.

Nice welcome, food ok just found the bread a bit to thick and a bit dry, but fillings good. Nice and clean

As a birthday treat my wife and I visited Nell’s for a good old-fashioned fry up and we were not disappointed! Greeted by a very happy and helpful young lady at the till who took our order and advised on what swaps were allowed for the set meals. Breakfasts both arrived promptly and piping hot and were amply stocked with high quality fare. Highly recommend.

Delicious food, lovely atmosphere and great service! Cannot recommend Nells Cafe more! The roast dinner are delicious, the light breakfast is super tasty and everything is always served hot and nicely done.

Nice cafe with good service and better food. 👌

A.axing place does alot for charity

Brilliant food, great staff. Really good value for money. Would highly recommend! I lost something there which they called me about to make sure it got returned. Great people, great place.

Quite grim old school cafe in Kent. i suppose if you are not too fussy you would find this place ok ,However for me it was simply too grotty and the food neither tasty nor cheap.Sorry Nell's!

Great food and plenty of it, prices are good, it's more like a transport cafe but who cares

Lovely cafe, brilliant food at great prices and well worth your time as a stop off or start to your journey. Steak pie was epic!

The food is just below, ok. Coffee was weak. In fact, it was coloured water. Look nice in there and clean. Busy but that could be because it is just on the busy road.

Still a Proper Cafe . popped in for breakfast and meet some friends .

It is what it is. Simple. Effective and friendly. Only done the bacon sarnie so far but lovely bread to go with properly cooked bacon.

Excellent breakfast and service, as always.

Prompt service, very busy time when visited, food very tasty and hot. will definitely visit a lot in future.

One of the best breakfast good bike parking

First time visit, good homemade food a proper sausage sandwich with proper thick bread and a mug of tea, very nice. I will go again if I am in the area.

Nice greeting on arrival, food was plentiful and fresh,I will definitely be visiting again.

Very friendly service and excellent quality service and staff 👌

A great place to stop for a good wholesome traditional meal while travelling.

Very frieny staff and good service.

Although the set meals are a little smaller than other cafes, they are adequate so there is less waste. Prices are reasonable.

Food very good certainly value for money

Good food, varied menu options, service okay

Food was very good. Would have given 5 stars if this wasn't a Liverpool FC cafe. 🤣🤣🤣

Great place good food good prices

Excellent breakfast, helpful and friendly staff, very clean, has a car park & accepts debit cards, will go back soon 👍

Nice and clean pleasant staff and quick service,breakfast was excellant

Food wasn't great my omelette could have done with a bit more cooking time, my mates food looked great though, so may have been unlucky

Very nice, particularly good tea

Food average, pricey for what it is. My mate had an omelette and a side of beans with a tea and it came to about £13.

Best cafe for a quick hearty breakfast

Lovely place to eat. Really nice food. Great prices

No trip down south complete without a stop at Nell's. Hasn't disappointed this time. Great food, does what it says on tin.

Well worth a visit if you're passing :)

Liver and bacon, what could be better, all round brilliant transport cafe 👏

This is great little discovery, located just of the A2 at Marling Cross, Watling Street, great place for breakfast, plenty of free parking, welcoming and friendly staff

Amazing find and highly recommended. We were met with a genuine, friendly and warm welcome by the owner and team. Good selection of tasty food at a very reasonable price. We had breakfasts and thoroughly enjoyed them. Nice to be served tea in a big mug too. We will stop by again when we're in the area.

Love Nells cafe great place to eat great food and fantastic customer service we eat there most sundays

U hav got to try the food, I had a sausage baguette big& crispy on outside soft & yummy on inside, wife had a tuna baguette, she saved 1/2 for later, defo value for money, defo call next time we r passing,

Iconic Gravesend cafe and legendary breakfasts. It was my first time here in years and as good today as it was 30 years ago.

For food on the move Nell's is outstanding whether your are passing by on the A2 or resident of Gravesend this an excellent place for a full English, brunch or tea. Good quality food and friendly staff make this an outstanding venue. (Also a set for many TV series and pop videos.)

Brilliant service and atmosphere. Perfect bikers cafe.

Nice food, good service, nice staff.

Good greasy-spoon breakfast with quality food.

Great food great coffee great service. Recommended 👍

Nestled in the heart of Gravesend, Nell's Cafe offers a delightful breakfast experience that leaves patrons satisfied and ready to tackle the day. I recently had the pleasure of visiting this charming establishment and indulging in their famous whopper breakfast, and I must say, it did not disappoint. The star of the show, the whopper breakfast, was a feast for the senses. It consisted of a perfectly fried egg, plump and juicy sausage, flavorful baked beans, a succulent tomato, and crispy toast. The combination of these classic breakfast staples created a harmonious symphony of flavors that left me wanting more. The portion size was generous, ensuring that even the heartiest appetites would be satisfied. Each element of the meal was expertly prepared and presented with care, demonstrating the culinary prowess of the kitchen staff. While the food was undeniably the highlight, it is worth noting that the coffee, while not the best I've had, was still drinkable. It lacked the robustness and depth of flavor that I typically look for in a cup of coffee, but it served its purpose as a morning pick-me-up. For those with more discerning palates, it may be worth considering an alternative beverage option. Clean and well-maintained restrooms are often a telltale sign of a quality establishment, and Nell's Cafe did not disappoint in this regard. The toilets were spotless, a testament to the cafe's commitment to cleanliness and hygiene. Additionally, the safe and convenient parking facilities provided peace of mind for customers, ensuring a stress-free dining experience.

Great food guys well done see you soon

Brilliant, tasted amazing beat burger I've had in a long time! Chips so crispy, service with a smile wonderful!

Nice place to stop and get a cup of tea

Sister and brother in laws family used to own this cafe back in the early 80s still go there now

Great place Great food fast friendly service

Terrible stale tastinge baguette roll and asked for well done bacon and it come oinking in my stick it was so under cooked.

Had breakfast here yesterday 21/05/23, good food well cooked and presented, the young lady on the counter was friendly and helpful, would definitely come back here

Absolutely delicious food and the staff are really friendly.

Nice and clean inside and friendly efficient service. Food was okay and that's about it. Would of been much better if the bubble had been homemade and not out of the bag and the mushrooms weren't overcooked as to vaguely resemble dried shrooms. I wouldn't bother returning myself but it seemed to have a regular flow of custom.

Excellent cafe food and a good menu, staff are glad you called in a d are quite happy to serve you, passed it loads of times but will be going in more often

Nice clean cafe, lovely breakfast, pleasant staff, quick service.

Absolutely amazing as usual and regardless of how busy they get they always give 100%. Great food as always

Wonderful staff and a banging egg and bacon sandwich

The coffee is fowl tast like recycled dish water

Excellent cup of tea and a sausage roll.

Had a great breakfast, the service was great and the staff were very friendly

Ace as always, delicious full English

Lovely food and friendly staff.

Absolutely fantastic cafe the steak is absolutely fantastic and the home made stake pie is incredible

I love this place . Amazing staff. If your on the a2 heading coast bound . Stop here always .

Having moved from the Detling Diner, which after taking new ownership dont appear to want Bikers. Even the outside tea hut has gone. It will fail!! However although parking could get crowded the breakfast was large hot and tasty. Staff and service excellent. 👍🏼 5*****

Nice cafe always visit here after coming over Dartford crossing!

Just eaten the homemade steak pie with 3 veg... delicious and such a generous portion I need a nap now Zzzzzzzzz

Friendly staff, always have time for their customers. Wide choice of menu. Always recommend to others.

A great place for a good hot all day breakfast and even a Roast Dinner,, quality tea and a good atmosphere.👍👍.

Awesome old school cafe. Amazing choice of good big standard food at great prices. Quick service. Well worth a visit

Breakfast was not nice bacon burnt Sausage not cooked properly Fried slice Rock hard Na not for me

Staff were friendly and the place was clean. Breakfast was OK.

Great family run cafe ,great food ,great staff .see you soon guys .

Perfect breakfast. Would just ask the chips to be cooked slightly longer 👍

Just stopped off to have a family breakfast. Lovely clean seating area and very helpful friendly staff. We had a traditional breakfast a larger breakfast and a cheese burger and chips. The quality of produce was excellent the sausage being butchers not cheap catering one. The bubble also homemade I would think not wet and slimey at all. The bread was crusty thick cut fresh loaf. I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the food and the price. My husband was very pleased with his cheeseburger and chips again quality food and all fresh cooked to order not greasy just full of flavour. The waitress was lovely and the lady on the till was great as we didn't want a few items that came with the breakfast and she asked us what we would like to replace the items we didn't like. Superb service thank you so much we will be returning!

Delicious breakfast and you get your monies worth

Nell’s Cafe was a staple of my youth when late nights out were always rounded off by a stop at Nell’s for breakfast or cups of tea. Fast forward a lot of years (decades even) and a recent visit to the area gave me a chance to relive some of those memories. The breakfasts are still the same - big plates of food cooked fresh to order, except now they do a veggie breakfast with great bubble and squeak. The coffee is still served in mugs and it’s of the quality that my nan would have called “proper coffee before all this nonsense about americanos and lattes” ie its black or its white. There is no discussion about brown or white bread. It’s white bread, it’s on a separate plate and there’s no butter. What a joy to have a well cooked old fashioned (vegetarian) fry up. Staff are polite, you can sit and watch the world whizz by and it is like going back in time. I really enjoyed my breakfast and there’s a reason why this place has lasted for so long.

Very good sausage made the breakfast above average. I will go back. Nice staff . Clean. Priced fair.

Popped in last weekend on our way back to Iwade from London, our first stop was the Ace cafe but the Queue was too long and only one person serving, so we thought skip that well try Nells, not having been there for years, what a pleasant experience it was, the boss ordered hers and thoroughly enjoyed mine was the Sunday roast and it was 5* so if you pass this way stop in and enjoy and give the chef and staff a pat on the back

Hidden gem. I had sausage and bacon baguette and as far as a sausage and bacon baguette goes it was to die for!!

Always made to feel welcome in this typical English cafe. It's clean and could eat off the toilet floor. Good value for home cooked food.

If possible will always pop in for breakfast when on a journey and passing. Good quality excellent value for money

I use the cafe when I'm working in Gravesend. The breakfasts are generous and reasonable in price. The setting is retro, and reminiscent of the old days while keeping in with modern standards. It's large, clean, and bright. Wholly recommended.

Love this place. Great food. Great staff

Friendly staff. Inexpensive. Cyclist friendly (it was particularly quiet when I visited, and they were happy to let me take my bike inside).

Had breakfast one day and returned for lunch the next day. Plenty of choice, good sized portions, friendly staff. Convenient location on the journey to Dover

As good as ever but I only had a flying visit
