Priory Cafe in Hillingdon

I’ve been visiting the Priory Cafe for years, if you like a good bit of banta with your breakfast or lunch then Cathy & Frank are great hosts, this place is down to earth, freshly cooked and a different experience to the more main stream restaurants, it has a very loyal customer base who like the personal friendly atmosphere

Useless opening hours, closed 2 days of the week, and only open until lunchtime other days. Only just better than ab empty shop

Despite living in Ruislip forever we only discovered this little gem at the start of 2022 now a regular haunt. Kathy & Frank have developed a loyal regular clientele which speaks volumes in this day & age . A lovely independent bijou cafe great for breakfast/brunch/lunch or a quick tea stop. A full and comprehensive menu plus daily specials, all reasonably priced & cooked fresh to order & always a warm welcome & great humour from them both. In summer you can sit outside & watch the world go by. Kathy & Frank do all they can to locally source their produce ensuring it is all high quality, nothing precooked & reheated here. Great milkshakes, iced coffees and hot chocolate 🍫 Very definitely worth a visit - great food and customer service from an independent 🍳🍞🥓🥚🥪🍅🥒☕️🧋

We usually have our weekend breakfast at another cafe not too far from here but they were closed for their annual holiday so we moved elsewhere. The Priory is a great cafe and the food is excellent value and good quality the couple that run the business are lovely - especially when your partner knocks her full up mug of coffeee all over the table.......and me!!! ☕️

Lovely little cafe with delightful and welcoming staff. Delicious breakfast and quaint surroundings. Highly recommended!

I have never tried this place before but it has outdoor seating and a comprehensive menu so we decided to give it a go for a sandwich and tea. I had a cheese and onion roll which was quite small but exactly what it said it was - a soft white roll filled with mild cheddar and onion! My friend had a very nice bacon and egg sandwich. The tea was excellent. Prices were very reasonable at £2.80 for my roll, £4 for the sandwich and £1 for a mug of tea.

Feeling peckish and in need of a good cuppa, we popped in and had THE most welcome cup of tea served by such a friendly lady. I had ham, egg and chips which was fresh and delicious. There are obviously regulars who come here and there is such a caring atmosphere. Would highly recommend

Bearing in mind its location, this is an excellent place for a full English on a Sunday morning before hitting the fortnightly food market over the road - and raiding the various stalls and stoking up the National Debt. Excellent fry-up, washed down with copious amounts of fresh tea. Excellent.

This is a tiny cafe near the church in Ruislip and was an unlikely oasis during our walk on a hot day. I wouldn't normally choose to sit by a roundabout but what is normal these days?! There were 3 tables outside and a few in the small cafe. The staff were lovely and friendly and the coffee great. We will return to try more from the menu very soon.

Nice little cafe run by a friendly couple. Located at the end of the high street opposite the duck pond and Ruislip barn where there’s some lovely paths to wander down afterwards and an artisan market once a month. The breakfast is really good value and the quality of the food is great. Keeps us coming back. Look forward to trying some of the lunch options soon.

Breakfast was excellent and good value. A wide selection on the menu to choose from. Lovely staff and friendly atmosphere.

I recently started working on the High Street and have been experimenting over the last few weeks with different places to grab snacks and hot drinks. I wandered down to the very end of the high street and stumbled across this place. Honestly, the heartiest and most welcoming establishment in all of Ruislip. Delicious food, friendly service and a decent value! Much better off coming to places like this than Wenzel's etc.

Priory Cafe is a warm friendly traditional cafe, with specials on a blackboard outside always worth a look. Closed on Thursdays.

Lovely little place, jokes in the menu is a great touch, had us laughing! Really enjoyed our visit and food was really nice

Quaint old café, been here for years. A little rough around the edges but serves a good breakfast. An ideal place for a cuppa or a sandwich.

Visited this morning with the missus. The staff are very lovely and welcoming. I was slightly awkward with my breakfast order and the lady was more than accommodating. The breakfast was amazing, most of it is mainly grilled and not fried which is a healthier and tastier alternative in our opinion. All the food quality is top, the sausages are lush. The prices are fair for the portion size and quality of the food and service. The place was immaculately clean. We’ve finally found an amazing cafe. :)

Great way to start the day, hot cooked food, great service and nice and clean, highly recommended, does get very busy, might have to wait but worth the wait.

Great breakfasts with proper butchers sausages. REAL hot chocolate not powder. Good coffee. As everything is made fresh daily they sometimes run out of things like yorkshire puddings after lunch, but at least you know its always fresh

Lovely little cafe, the lady was extremely friendly and welcoming. It’s small and cozy. Breakfast is pretty standard and well priced.

Always a pleasure visiting priory cafe, service is above & beyond. Today we ate our breakfast outside & I decided to move out of the sun, to be met seconds later by the owner holding a table umbrella ready to put up for me. Can't fault the food, or the little quirks such as the menu containing hilarious little jokes.

Great for traditional cafe food and lovely couple running it, very friendly. Varied menu. Closed Thursdays.

Very nice hot food and drink and plates. Highly recommended. Staff very friendly and polite. Makes us feel welcome and will come back for sure.

Great little place going down hill, on a cold winters morning I was served breakfast on a freezing cold plate, the bacon and toast were stone cold, the egg was luke warm and the sausage chips and beans were warm, why serve it on a freezing plate, ruined the breakfast. I know they can do better, but this time was a let down.

Popped in for lunch and treated like royalty. Food lovely, perfect coffee and the welcome of the proprietors was superb, typical northern welcome on the outskirts of London. Thank you.

El Priorato tiene una ranura ideal cerca de la calle Martin's Church en el extremo superior de Ruislip High Street.

Perfect pit stop on our bike ride yesterday. Couldn't have been more welcoming or helpful and the food was spot on. Thanks for a great lunch!

Loved the food and milkshake. Fantastic service! Perfect for a Sunday morning pick me up. Will have to try the bubble and speak next time!

The owners of this cafe are lovely, the coffee is great and food is delicious. You feel welcomed when visiting. Thank you for looking after me before my night shift 👍

Over the years I have tried all the cafes in Ruislip, Ruislip Manor, Eastcote and only tried Priory Cafe today. Well I must say in my opinion it serves the best cooked breakfast in the area it may be small but the way the food is cooked is very important to me, it makes an English Breakfast. Keep up the good work I'll be back.

Fuimos un domingo para el desayuno, un gran error, desde estar a nuestro desayuno llegar tardaron más de 30 minutos. Este café parece ser una víctima de su propio éxito. Muchas personas vienen hacer esperar un largo tiempo. El desayuno es bueno, y estoy seguro de que los propietarios le diga que la espera es debido a la comida se caliente y fresco, lo que es. Aún es de 5 estrellas pero el servicio necesita acelerar, de lo contrario me siento la clasificación le dejará.

Hemos comido el almuerzo y el desayuno en la cafetería de la calle priory alta ruislip un par de veces, y cada vez la comida ha sido muy agradable y también muy buen precio.

No apetece un desayuno de plástico en la cosechadora, así que probamos el café frente a Priory. Agradablemente sorprendido, buen desayuno razonable de nivel de entrada para £4.50 £6.80 para la de full monty, que incluyen té o café y 2 rebanadas de pan tostado. Excelente Los agricultores con salchichas huevos procedentes, sabroso. En el lado negativo, lo que significa que su acogedora un poco estrecho espacio. Volveré, gracias.

A group of young Mums & myself arrived without much notice. They were excellent with the small children on this Friday lunchtime - organised us a table together & served a tasty meal. Some drinks were free. I enjoyed it so much that I hope to take a group of friends there to start my ?? birthday with breakfast - then on to different things. Staff attentive.

Great food, great coffee and nothing is too much troubleA great place that you can walk in on your own and everyone is sooo friendly.

We have visited the Priory Cafe on a couple of occasions as a family for breakfast... The people running the cafe were very welcoming and helped get the young ones settled, providing high chair and rubber ducks to keep them entertained (from the Olympics if I remember correctly). It is a relatively small place for around 16 to 20 seats at most and a few tables outside in addition. The menu is pretty standard cafe list and going off script for combinations was not an issue. The quality of the food was excellent - for instance the sausage was better than you might expect in a standard cafe... Everything well cooked and plenty of it. A tiny bit more expensive than some cafes but worth it

This cafe is by far the best in Ruislip / Ruislip Manor. The owners are the only employees and the customers are treated like friends. This cafe is always worth a visit and never disappointing.

Tiny little cafe in one of the old buildings down the high street. Squeeze you in but they do really good full English breakfasts
