Pot Kiln Cafe in North West Leicestershire

Highly recommended for breakfast got to be the best place in and around Swadlincote and Measham by far. I've been several times and enjoyed it every time. The staff are very friendly, helpful and very welcoming too. The breakfast is cooked how you want it and you can add extras or take things off your breakfast. The drinks are made just right too Thank you for an excellent service and breakfast I will be coming again soon.

We went in for morning refreshments intending to come back later for lunch. We had tea and a generous slice of Victoria Sponge which was one of the few bakery items available.We returned at 2:30 p.m. only to find that the cafe was closing.A good cafe provided you're aware of the limited menu and early closing in the afternoon.

I called here last Friday for breakfast and so glad I did.It’s not that easy to find as it is sharp right after the traffic lights on the road from Measham to Donisthorpe.Easy parking and a nice rural setting overlooking the lakeIt’s a newly built purpose designed place.Great welcome from the lovely staff and a well priced menu.I went for the full English with tea which cost £7.50I have to say the food was cooked to perfection and the quality of the sausages and bacon was great.The toast was thick and the tea nice and strong with enough for three cups.It was the best cooked breakfast I have had in a long while and can’t wait to go back

We had a lovely surprise when we drove down the drive, it was a really lovely and peaceful setting. We sat outside with our lunch which was lovely and watched the antics of the ducks playing in the pond. We would like to say thank you for a very enjoyable experience and will be back with our family. The staff were very friendly and the lunch was very good.

Great place to eat. A really nice family feel . The ladies ensure the food is hot and well cooked but do it with a smile! Breakfasts are fab.

Love this local lakeside cafe, great menu and superb service all with a great view. Dog friendly for patrons and no problem sitting outside as there’s plenty of cover. Dog owners can also use the enclosed field providing your using the cafe.

Lovely, friendly cafe with good selection of lunches, cakes and drinks set close to a fishing lake and woodlands. Great jacket potatoes.

Modern, clean, tidy cafe with inside and outside tables in tranquil wooded area. Staff always friendly, helpful and service is prompt.Range of snacks and hot drinks available. Ample car-parking. Central starting point for woodland walks and/or through the village. As a regular walker and cafe-visitor, I shall continue to be a patron/ customer as it offers good refreshments and a relaxing ambience.

Very nice staff and very good food. The Waterside setting is very pleasant and the walk is nice. Would definitely go back.

The Pot Kiln is a very pleasant experience both for the beautiful surroundings and good food although service is a little slow, all the better to relax.

We ordered the large breakfast which whilst £1 more than the standard was double the amount. We waited whilst it was cooked fresh and it was well worth the wait. Absolutely lovely and service with a smile throughout. Its clearly well loved by the locals and cyclists and walkers

Called in for breakfast. Good menu. We ordered large bacon and egg baps. Sat outside by the lake. Everywhere very clean and staff friendly. When they bought out the baps wished we'd ordered smaller ones! Delicious, tasty bacon and egg. Will return when visiting that way again.

This Cafe is a favourite of my cycling Group and my wife. Lovely setting by a lake. V Freindly helpful staff. Good tea cakes, cakes and excellent egg and chips. I would strongly recommend it.

This is a favourite for a sunny day. A walk through the wood and finish with refreshments at the cafe. Last week the chocolate orange cake was absolutely scrumptious, moist cake with a gooey orange centre and chocolate icing. What's not to like.

Called in for a coffee. Wished we hadn't have had our breakfasts as would have liked to have tried the offering here, looked delicious. We sat outside by the pond with our excellent coffee's listening to the birds. What a fantastic place. They are encouraging wildlife in the surrounding woods and plenty of bird feeders are about to encourage a range of birds. Pity I live so far away but on my next visit to see family this is a definite stop off.

This quiet cafe overlooks a fishing lake and is almost surrounded by trees. You can sit outside and watch the birds at the feeders.

My Husband is a Fisherman and has fish the Lake on several occasions and always has the breakfast in the Cafe and he always tells people about it So he took me one day and we keep going back I always have Ham toastie served with a salad garnish and i always have a bowl of chips to go with it well the food is yummy and well cooked and served backgrond music is excellent TheCafe is lovely and the ladies serving are very friendly and accommodating but the food is a long time coming there is to much chatting going on by the ladies who are serving

We had checked when this small, pond-side cafe near Measham High St closed (4pm, hot items until 2.45pm - summer hours).

Visited today for the first time & what a lovely little cafe! Beautiful setting, very clean and friendly staff. There was a steady flow of custom, quite clearly some regular visitors, the ladies serving were chatty and polite!

Amazing place, the staff are super. Very friendly and welcoming. The food is always fresh and delicious. The views are beautiful. can't fault in anyway

We have eaten here twice now - I wanted to give them a second chance having waited for so long the first time. However, sadly, the service really is so slow, down to the fact that the staff would rather stand chatting to each other and friends as they come in, rather than serving or preparing food.
