Paxcroft Cafe in Wiltshire

Real down to earth cafe. Lovely friendly staff Food wonderful and delicious very good value. We were camping 🏕️ not far away and excellent stop off on way home

Good food, friendly staff and very good value for money means it is always a pleasure visiting this roadside haven.

Paul and myself pop in every couple of weeks for breakfast. Always served with a smile and a chat. Excellent quality ingredients. always plenty on the plate and served hot. Very good value for money. Thank you Rachel.

Was in the area had an hour to kill so popped in for a breakfast.Was a fairly busy place and certainly well visited by the locals.The service was pleasant the food was average for an average to good price.Food was hot toast was still white.Seemed to busy for one person to cope adequately as plates were left on empty tables and on servery.Would I visit again..not sure.

Very easy to miss this cafe, tucked away in a lay-by just past the rugby club. Varied menu but you can not better the breakfast, freshly cooked to order, exactly as you want it. Rachel the owner is friendly, helpful and makes you very welcome and appreciates your custom.

A great café is as important a pilgrimage site as a cathedral, a world-class museum, an ancient ruin or a modern architectural marvel. Some have licences to serve booze, some will be known locally as bars, many do food – but these iconic cafés put their niché and a chat-conducive vibe at the centre of their operations. Paxcroft cafe is no different, as Wiltshire best (in my honest opinion) breakfast, the glitz and glamour is heavily disguised behind the faced of a roadside truck stop yet the soul and personality that eminates from the staff is both familiar and heartfelt inviting you to engorge the biggest of emotional comforts, a True English breakfast. The breakfasts here make u pine for the sanctuary of Monday opening hours to heal and recover from a heavy weekend or just to start off your week with a protective dousing of those Monday morning blues. If you haven't yet visited I implore you to take that chance as the best memories are made only when you take that first step.

Had our breakfast there was amazing had everything we wanted cooked they way we wanted it lovely coffee and great service couldn't of asked for more

Had our breakfast there a few times can choose what u want and how much always clean foods is lovely and Rachel is top class

Stopped here for a takeaway roll appearerances can be deceptive you look at the cafe and think very basic but it’s truly out of this world food quality 10 staff 10 easy parking 10

I will place my cards on the table and say that I use this cafe every week and sometimes several times a week. That, in itself, should say something about the reliable quality of everything that Rachel serves here. I usually have a breakfast when I visit most Tuesdays but to day, Thursday 26 October, I called in between appointments and had a bacon and sausage bap. Whatever you order from a gut busting breakfast to a simple sandwich and everything in-between Rachel cooks it when you order. The result is that, even in this commercial establishment, things taste like you just cooked them in your kitchen at home. Piping hot in a "fresh this morning" soft bap couldn't be bettered anywhere. And the price, well I couldn't do it at home for less. And all with the minimum of wait. A soft flour topped bap with 2 sausages bacon and a cup of tea £3:60. I think that anyone who drives past this cafe in the lay-by and doesn't go in needs professional help. Well done Rachel. May you go from strength to strength. In an age of designer half hot, half plate full meals you stand totally alone. Thank you.

Every time we pass the cafe, its so tempting to stop. Very cheerful, friendly staff always make you welcome. Food is excellent, always served hot and in good time. The normal breakfast is big enough for most. Place is clean, tidy and prices are very fair.

Haven't eaten here for a while, still one of the best breakfasts around. Staff are very good, remembered us from previous visits. Prices very good, cheapest for miles and portion sizes massive.

Great food, great prices, great banter. I had the Big Plate all-day breakfast, a meal so generously portioned that I didn't finish all my bread (and I rarely leave anything unfinished). The food was tasty and well-cooked and the owner's witty repartee kept us amused. Looking forward to going again.

Popped here for a breakfast whilst out working with my trucker hubby. The lady who served us was very friendly and her breakfast is really nice. Definitely recommend

I started to use Paxcroft Cafe a few years ago. It was an amazing place to get breakfast, or indeed any meal, and my weekly visit has seen this truly great place to eat just get better and better. I have never had a better breakfast even in some 5 star hotels I've visited around the world. This cafe has had many well deserved awards for food hygiene and food quality and variety by independent organisations. These aren't just handed out, they have to be earned and Rachel has certainly earned every one. When you find the best it's a waste of time trying the rest and Paxcroft is by far the best. Everything is perfectly cooked to order and your personal liking. I like really runny eggs and bacon that is just cooked but not overdone. Every single time my breakfast comes cooked to perfection. Although the cost is less than you will pay at most places, the bacon is the thickest cut that you will find anywhere and the sausages and similarly delicious. Rachel will do pretty well anything you choose just as you like it. When the breakfast is served it is really difficult to remember that this is a lay bye cafe with no mains gas or water. Everything is shipped in daily. There isn't a purpose built restaurant anywhere that can better what Rachel manages to deliver day in day out with no drop in standards. Add this to the uplifting banter, which I will admit may be misunderstood by non regulars and mistaken for "offence", but is quit innocent, and you have a perfect place to drop into and unwind over a truly unequalled meal. Anything less than 5 star rating is quite simply wrong. There will always be people, who, for whatever reason, will find fault. This cafe makes that impossible in my opinion and after hundreds of regular visits. So next time you are passing the Paxcroft lay-bye, don't pass, drop in, you will not be disappointed. But make sure you are hungry so that you do justice to what Rachel will serve you!!! By its very design there are steps up to the door but that should not put of wheelchair users as the sort of clients that use Rachel's cafe will certainly be willing to assist wheelchair users. Well done Rachel and your merry team of equally gifted helpers. Long may you continue to go from strength to strength. Today, being Tuesday, I will be in for my usual. I can't wait. Many thanks dear lady.

Amazing customer service, always a friendly atmosphere, lovely fresh cooked food, definitely worth the money, highly recommended

Friendly staff, great breakfast. Tea was tasty aswell, actually had flavour and didn't taste like cheap teabags. Worth a stop on your travels to re-fuel yourself.

Lo que pide en este café increíble podrá ver cocinar rachel su frescura cuando la orden. Los desayunos que superen las lejos, tanto de tamaño y calidad, de "Camioneros" puede tener un pequeño desayuno o cualquier uno de las docenas de combinaciones de desayuno y almuerzo que cambiar para adaptarse a lo que regularmente Es recién en ese momento. Conocido, supongo, más para el desayuno, que es una lástima, porque las comidas aparte del desayuno son igualmente deliciosos. He estado yendo a este café por un par de años y nunca he tenido nada, pero gastar bromas con Rachel y sus ayudantes y comida de la mejor calidad. Comida que supera los cafés tradicionales en un sombrero sobrepase. Cuando estás comiendo ofrendas Rachel's que a veces es difícil recordar que estás en un edificio en una carretera tipo portacabin laicos. El premio de mejor café de carretera bien merecidos y la limpieza del lugar estaba ricamente recompensado por un premio de 5 estrellas de higiene de los alimentos. El número de vehículos estacionados en la distribución de prueba suficiente de lo que podrá disfrutar en su interior. Si están pasando este café no. Parar. Usted no será decepcionado.

En un mundo donde encontrar un buen desayuno inglés completo se está tornando más difícil siempre puede confiar en el personal amable en este café para satisfacer sus necesidades.

Another good breakfast as usual, nice to see Rachel again with a smile and good humour A+ good place to stop for food and drink

Popped into this place this morning as having the car repaired nearby and searched tripadvisor for where to go for breakies and after reading these reviews thought we would give it a go......We were not disappointed .... Staff we were friendly and the food was tasty and portions were very generous.

Decided "on a whim" to pull over and try the breakfast at Paxcroft cafe when driving past and very glad I did so. From the cheery welcome to the breakfast itself everything was really good and I'll certainly pop in again another time.

Best breakfast I've eaten out! As I'm a picky eater, she catered to my needs! a very friendly place to go. Bloody gorgeous!

Passing through and noticed this little cafe, stopped in.. it was the most homely, most enjoyable experience! Full english breakfast cooked beautifully, served by a very lovely friendly lady! Highly recommend, will definitely be back!

I work locally and regularly visit this cafe. It has become the highlight of the working week. I can honestly say that the food has always been excellent and I always get a very friendly welcome -roll on Friday

Having two hours to spend in an area with not too much to do, I called in to the Paxcroft Cafe for a coffee and meal. And just how glad am I that I did? Absolutely delicious food, immaculate interior and wonderful service! Within seconds I felt like part of the local clientele. Such a warm welcome and fantastic atmosphere. I would call back in a second - just a shame it's a 45 minute drive from my home!

When driving home from a longgg journey, as per usual, my younger brother kept whining because he was hungry! The first thing we came across was Paxcroft Cafe and we were very skeptical because of the typical 'greasy spoon' stereotype but I kid you not, I've never been so thankful to my brother for being hungry! The food was AMAZING! Perfect portion sizes and Rachel makes sure your food matches your picky needs and wants. Never felt so welcome, really proves not to judge a book by its cover! Will definitely be returning, regardless or not if my brother is whining for food.

I have gone here a couple times with friends, we pop in for a traditional fry up, portion sizes are good & the cooking is spot on. I love the ladies that serve here too. They are friendly & have that great British humour, they'll have a chat or a joke, or leave you to get on with it, which make the trip more like popping in to a friends. It's relaxing, warm and cosy. they'll mix & match dishes to make your meal just what you're looking for. Great cuppa! Despite being a roadside cafe it is a gem & worth a visit.

A wonderful road side cafe, not a greasy spoon! Great food, great staff, great atmosphere. Never a dull moment. All day breakfasts, sandwiches, baguettes and burgers to name just some of the menu. Such a wide choice. Fab place to go with the family too - caters for children.

If you fancy a fry up, ham egg and chips or no fuss food then this is the place. Lovely welcome, big portions, clean and tidy. Excellent value. This is definately one of those guilty pleasures!!

Have eaten here many of times and the food is just perfect, by far best breakie in Wiltshire, can't fault it one bit totally amaze balls

Tasty food, ideal to start your day off on the right foot. We love it because it is not running in fat or oil and s always of a very high standard. Friendly atmosphere and extremely good value. Would highly recommend this roadside cafe.

Stopped in with a work colleague on our way down to Exeter for a meeting, as we had a long drive ahead, so we fancied a hearty breakfast to set us up for the day. I have eaten here before and found it to be very nice, however my 2nd visit was not so enjoyable. The food wasn't bad and the portion sizes were good and didn't let things down in that area. The bacon was cooked to perfection I have to say and I am quite particular about my bacon, however what really spoilt it was the lady cooking smelt extremely strongly of cigarettes and had possbily just been out for a smoke and the smell was very off putting and it could be smelt when we ordered our food and also when it was brought over, it left a lingering smell.

Visited here this morning, as I had a viewing of a local sports venue close by for a possible wedding venue. Stopped in for breakfast and had a rather large, monster of a breakfast. The breakfast itself wasn't bad, but it wasn't that amazing either. Based on the portion sizes, the value is pretty good and the quality of the ingredients are as you would expect from a roadside greasy spoon.

Stopped in for breakfast with my wife and 4 children. What a warm welcome and brilliant food. The breakfasts were superb. I myself had the special it was Hunters Chicken and was delicious. Myself and my family highly recommend the food and will be making Paxcroft Cafe a regular stop....five stars plus. Thank you Rachel you are a delight. .best wishes Barry and family. ....

Just driven from Bath to Paxcroft cafe nr Trowbridge to get the best bacon and mushroom baguette for miles. All food served by the lovely owner is of high quality and huge portions, brilliant place to eat - I urge you to go!

No es buena para comer Inglés, pero es muy malo para la salud. Esta bien para nosotros, ya que viajábamos a través del Reino Unido para el viaje y necesitaba parar para instalaciones y la comida.

Went to have breakfast at Paxcroft cafe on Friday 21st August 2015. I have been visiting the cafe for four years when I am in the area. Food was excellent, service excellent, overall visitor experience excellent. I will be going again when I am in the Devizes area.

very welcoming first rate service .excellent food and banter. would recommend to my friends .have eaten there on many occasions.

The welcome and service is excellent, as is the food. The breakfasts are beautifully cooked and customised for the individual. Service is very friendly and nothing is too much trouble. We eat there regularly and have never been disappointed. Thoroughly recommended.

Upon recently visiting Paxcroft Cafe, I was instantly welcomed as if I were a regular or a returning family member! I ordered a breakfast because I heard of the Britain's Best Builder's breakfast and was not disappointed in any way shape or form. The size of the meal was definitely more than I thought I would get for the low price I was charged. The food was delicious and I will definitely be returning soon. I want to thank Rachel for creating such a lovely atmosphere and keeping a grin on her face (even whilst dealing with rude and difficult customers). Would definitely recommend to anybody looking for a good laugh as a side order to their gorgeous meal!

Been here for breakfast in the past and it used to be pretty good. Went recently and it was a little disappointing if I'm honest. Watery beans, overcooked bacon and small portions compared to previous visits. Constructively mentioned my comments to the lady when asked how it was and was looked at with daggers. It was followed up by the words that I'm the first person to complain. Won't be going back anytime soon.

Stopped in here whilst travelling through with my wife. The breakfast was so greasy and the sausages were very cheap and of poor quality. When we got back in the car both our clothes smelt like they had been deep fat fried! Sorry but not a place I would recommend unless I wanted to fastvtrack myself for a heart attack.

Been here many times, always very friendly, good food at a great price. Always willing to adapt dishes to exactly what you want.

I Love the Paxcroft Cafe and visit many times a month. Great food choice and always meeting great customers.

Couple of us try and visit once a month for a breakfast baguette. The ladies are always very friendly, the place is always very clean and the food well cooked. The line of the brown sauce is to my instructions and very artistic!

There is always a time and place for a fry up and Paxcroft Café is that place. Top notch grub, cheeky banter and good prices. Definitely a return trip planned.

Good food and price friendly staff what more do you want from a road side cafe lots of parking as well

It seems to be a very popular stop for families , truck drivers and, perhaps, those who have enjoyed themselves too much the night before and are in need of food!. A really great breakfast for everyone, with delightful service.

We had friends to stay recently and we all headed here for breakfast one Friday morning. Very impressed. Friendly staff and fabulous, great value breakfast.

Popped in for breakfast with the family. The food and service were fantastic, I'd recommend this cafe to anyone. It was great to see a traditional breakfast menu alongside a healthy option one with all meals being freshly cooked to order.

Great place for food and conversation, highly recommended. Great price, food quality and friendly staff, will come again.

Great food and awesome service, really friendly!! Britain's best breakfast isn't a hollow claim, highly recommended!

Stopped in with friends and had the best breakfast ever. And the best service well recomended. Cant beat this for food and service.

Awesome food, generous portions great value, very friendly staff. Highly recommended. Will be coming back.

We were in need of a bit of lunch and a warm drink. The lady owner was very friendly and obviously took great pride in the quality of sourcing and preparing her food. I can heartly recommend the Tuna Roll and Pulled Pork - lush!

Really good roadside cafe, tucked in a reasonable lay by. Excellent food, service and staff. Boss is a lovely lady who always makes you welcome.
