Poachers Cafe in Lichfield

Called to ask if they were open and took card payments as I was in the area with my daughter for a football game. Spoke to one of the rudest men I have ever encountered, demanded I make an order on the spot, even though that wasnt what I was calling for, then hung up on me when I asked about paying by card. Useless.

Ordered two Bacon, lettuce and Tomatoe sandwiches and two mugs of coffee cost a whopping £13.70. Served pretty quickly because bacon was only shown to the grill. The sandwich looked terrible and tasted the same raw bacon is not the best. Over priced and over hyped not worth a third of the price.

A small café/bistro discovered on our day visit to Tamworth. Were there at lunchtime for a light snack. Made to order baguette for one of us, a slice of carrot cake and mug of coffee for another and toasted tea cake & pot of tea for me. All prepared in the visible kitchen area. A good selection of cooked meals was also available. Very clean place and helpful pleasant staff. We enjoyed our visit.

A big shout out to the ladies that run Poachers Cafe - Bistro in Tamworth. Covid safe, great menu choices, lovely food and good service. I've visited several times in the last few weeks, sometimes just for a coffee and sometimes for lunch. I've recently had tuna mayo baked potato, which was accompanied by just the right amount of salad and wild mushroom and pea risotto which was absolutely delicious. See you again soon. Take care.

A lovely little lunch served quickly and efficiently. Tasty soup and baguette and at a reasonable price. Bit cramped inside and no busy at the time but recommended.

Called in many times for various ways to have breakfast and never been disappointed fresh hot and tasty so when my brother and his wife visited we had lunch after shopping and were so pleased we did could have took them to a restaurant but honestly this was much better and cheaper considering some of the food we have been served up I had the braised steak and chips with extra gravy you won’t need a knife it falls apart on the fork all the others were also pleased with there meals and deserts apple pie is great all for just over £45 for 4 with a drink first time we have had lunch here and believe me it won’t be the last the place is spotless and they are always cleaning no piles of plates on tables here the staff are friendly and very efficient Can’t recommend enough another gem for my followers enjoy.

Went today for breakfast had the full English it was a very good breakfast freshly cooked also you could have fried bread and good value For money also included tea or coffee in the price the place was very clean staff very attentive and did not have to wait to long for Our food to arrive will definitely go back again

Nice breakfasts and toasted tea cakes. Nice hot latte. Friendly service. We visit frequently and never disappointed.

At first I was quite impressed by the Poachers' cosy atmosphere - also their apparent wish to please. Then the scales came off my eyes. The Waitress crossed the line, everso soon, from helpful to cloying - later mendacious. She seemed to wish to fulfill our orders for "fresh vegetables" instead of Salad. Big mistake. There was a tiny mound of overcooked cabbage next to a teaspoonful of equally overcooked carrot. My friend's mash was equally uninspiring. Worse :"one-quarter chicken" turned out to be one-sixth - & not a brilliantly grown one-sixth as that... defrosted FAR TOO QUICKLY. Puddings were adequate - though each priced, like the wine, several pounds above their value. Staff Meeting needed here to add REAL value - and to try fresher vegetables each in their own side-dish. Finally, please leave customers alone! They want service, not friendship.

some lovely homemade cooking at this one including steak and ale pie braising steak and liver and onions very nice

I visited with my family and was excited to try out this little cafe hidden away with its cute decor. We were quickly greeted by the waitress and menus were given to us. I went for a cappuccino alongside the Steak and Ale Pie which was perfect however I felt the rest of my plate to be bland and disappointing and completely pointless. My veg tasted tinned and microwaved and mash like nothing at all, I found myself covering my plate in pepper just to give it some flavour. Full, I refused dessert but did ask for a can of coke which was given to me opened and a quarter of it poured in glass which annoyed me when I just wanted the can to open in my own time. Now under pressure to finish my coffee so I could drink my coke I found myself wishing I never ordered the coke. We went to pay and leave and found it to be dramatically overpriced for a simple little cafe. I’ve had a Chinese for four people cheaper than this visit.

Food cooked to order in view,good size portions and well served. But main problem is that the inside space is not suitable for a full house...or in my case someone not too mobile and unable to squeeze between tables. There is outside space but can be windy. Again,food very good and priced well...but space will prevent me making another visit.

Have been here a few times and found the food to be nice. Have been today with my friend and her nephew. Taking a pushchair and 1yr old in was very awkward. The push chair was highly frowned upon and we were asked as soon as we entered if it could be "folded up". The food was then brought out quickly which is good but it seemed to be so that we would eat and vacate asap and take the dreaded push chair with us. I appreciate this is a small place but we were made to feel an inconvenience, I shan't be going again with or without children.

I went here to meet a friend and had my nephew in a pushchair. We were immediate told to fold the pushchair up even though we were the only customers. I felt like we had sat at someone’s table and our food was very good and fresh yet we were made to feel very unwelcome and eat quickly and leave. As it filled up it seemed like we were being frowned upon as my nephew was laughing and not deadly silent. I will not go here again as I felt awkward and unwanted which is unnecessary when you are trying to give a small food place custom.

It’s not a trendy bistro type cafe. It’s a small clean cafe with some outdoor seating which serves good, honest food to order. Nothing fancy but a decent range of breakfasts, light lunches and snacks. The staff are friendly and helpful and the prices are fair. The toilets are clean but not disabled friendly. Would go back.

Visited the cafe on Saturday, found the facility very cramped. Ordered breakfast for my wife and I, Bacon, egg beans and tomatoes good Fried bread full of fat and grease terrible, not good to eat. Sausage very poor quality- cheap and full of bread crumbs Staff very friendly Nice location Sorry Poachers - Overall breakfast disappointing, will not be returning. Best breakfast is at the Deanery next to the butchers opposite the car park.

Regular breakfast visitors. Coffee is lovely and always piping hot. Tasty tea cakes too. We love sitting in window people watching

The title says it all. Sausage and chips is not difficult to cook but so many places manage to cock it up. Poachers is always spot on for a quick lunch! Must try some of the more sophisticated dishes on their menu sometime!

Second Saturday in a row for lunch at the compact but always busy cafe. All the hot food is heated through for the individual and there is a decent range on the menu and specials board. Last week I had the liver and mash, this week it's the chilli con carne with rice. My wife had the steak and ale pie and she does eat beef often so it must be good. All the food is home cooked and there is a good selection of proper puds, not your nouvelle cuisine party stuff that's gone in two mouthfulls.

I have visited Poachers Cafe several times.Had breakfast on each occasion the food was hot and served quickly. On other occasions we just went in for coffee. Every time I have visited the staff have been polite and attentive. It's only a small cafe but it's well worth a visit.

We found this Cafe by chance and enjoyed our lunch. The home made soup was delicious and nicely presented there was quite a variety of food on offer so something for everyone. The atmosphere was friendly and everywhere was clean. We went back for a cup of tea and a cake before we went home.

Sufro con la esclerosis múltiple y de paso y le pregunté si podía usar el baño como estaba sobre él a pee mis pantalones. El personal era muy agradable, incluso me dijo que me volveré a comprar algo y se negaron a comprar algo, déjame que utiliza el inodoro y disparó en mis viajes después agradeciendo mucho. Así que prometieron dar una gran crítica. Gracias de nuevo poachers

A menudo tienen un aperitivo almuerzo aquí cuando esté en la ciudad. Las criaturas de hábito, frijoles normalmente horneadas en tostadas, huevos fritos sobre una tostada con mucosidad o sopa; todo recién cocinado y caliente. Dieta y hay algunas opciones vegetarianas disponibles. Hay un menú más extenso, además de un montón de tentadores postres y el café está autorizado. Comida casera y a un precio muy razonable, pruébalo! El personal es siempre muy acogedor y limpio este café es invariablemente ocupado. Altamente recomendado.

Normalmente uso otro café cercano pero que estaba cerrada hoy, así que sabíamos de éste y vine aquí. Disfrutamos de lo que pedimos, tanto a mi derecha y sólo eran hecho mi esposa y mi hija disfrutamos lo que tenían. Aunque escondido desde otras tiendas es popular con todas las mesas ocupadas cuando estuvimos allí.

Tendemos a entrar aquí para almorzar temprano y siempre es de muy buena calidad. El menú es bastante amplio pero cocinados a la orden, y los desayunos son muy buenos. Tienen una fantástica selección de postres también - aún no probado, pero la intención de hacerlo en las próximas semanas. El personal es amable. Lo recomendaría para algo diferente.

What a little Gem! Have eaten here several times over the last few weeks and absolutely love it ! Great...

Mis padres visitaron Furtivos a principios de septiembre, mientras que para nosotros estar casa mientras estábamos de vacaciones. La cafetería, por lo que recomendaría que pensamos probarlo. Mi pareja y yo llegamos a las 3:00 pm el martes 20 de septiembre. Nos quedamos muy impresionados...

Disfrutamos de una tortilla, patatas fritas y plomos té caliente. Personal muy amable y asequible. Limpio, pintoresco, y recién preparados. Postres aspecto para morirse. Intentaré una próxima vez.

Café muy concurrida, con servicio rápido. Sopa y huevos en tostadas, muy bonita y sirve bien caliente. El café es muy limpio y el personal era amable. Las comidas cocinadas deliciosas como vimos que pueden ser servido.

We've visited here quite a few times and found the prices to be quite high - it is only a café after all. In saying that the food has always been perfectly fine. The service is always good and the staff are usually friendly. It's quite small and the tables are packed in - many times we've been almost sat on top of each other.

This place is always clean, quick, Excellent service, good proper food not standard Tamworth fair. Outstrips all the rest on service. One of just 2 good cafes in Tamworth run purely by women, long may it last.

As a repeat visitor, this unassuming but lovely cafe is consistently delightful. The best cooked breakfast, wonderful Maltese cheesecake, and great welcome and service. This last visit I chose liver and bacon with great veg accompaniment, delicious.Nothing flash, like going home to mum's house for tea. Love it!

It's always a pleasure to drop into Poachers for a meal after I've finished my shopping in the town on a Saturday morning. I can vouch for a previous commenter who mentioned the open kitchen area, you can see you meal being prepared. You can also select a special, such as steak and ale pie from the glass fronted counter at the front.The café is kept meticulously clean, and all the ladies are very friendly and know their stuff. There is also a very nice patio area at the side right at the end of Little Church Lane. It's great in the spring and summer if you wish to eat outside, but the tables aren't generally put out during the winter. With this in mind, be prepared to share a table during peak times. The building itself is not that large, so seating can be at a premium.Don't let that put you off though. The menu is fairly extensive and pricing is reasonable. Highly recommended and well worth a visit.

always a pleasure to visit here. everything is freshly prepared in a kitchen that is open, so no hiding. Just had eggs on toast and bacon sandwich this time and they were both very good.

Called in for lunch with my mum and sister, we sat outside which was very pleasant. My sister and I had tuna mayo sandwiches on granary, they came with salad and crisps. My mum had egg and chips, she said the chips were lovely and the egg looked like it was cooked perfectly for dunking chips. Our tuna sandwiches were delicious. We had 2 coffees and a can of pop. The bill came to £15.10. Service was friendly and efficient. Will definitely return and would recommend.

Fantastic food, warm friendly welcome, super value for money, would highly recommend a visit, we will definitely return very soon, once again thank you.

Only £5 50 for 3 bacon 2 sausages egg beans or toms and mushrooms with choice of coffee or tea and toast. Great value. As with most places sausage could be better.

Warm, friendly, cosy, reasonably priced and spotlessly clean, this Bistro Cafe is definitely worth a visit. From a bacon sandwich in the morning to the all day breakfasts, to the three-bean smokey chilli, washed down with a bottle of Stella, or Speckled Hen, this bistro has everything. Other meals, drinks etc. readily available - and can be finished off with a home made dessert. There is also a little patio area should the English sunshine prevail!
