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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
