Red Rum Cafe in Tandridge

Nice and clean Cafe. Bit pricey but you’re in Lingfield so you’re going to pay more! Food is always good quality.

Highly recommended 👌 food and service is spot on nice clean shop and continental staff friendly always good thanks 😊

Decent portions, tasty breakfast, good value for money and quick service. Everything you want for a breakfast.

Decided to go to the cafe before an afternoon at Lingfield Races. Ordered a Ham & Cheese omelette with chips only had to wait a few minutes, very good sized omelette and loads of chips both were tasty and of a good quality. Staff friendly and cafe very clean with a good atmosphere. Will definitely go back next time I'm having an afternoon at the racecourse.

Food is good but over priced. If the Greyhound was open for breakfast earlier I would have gone there as better value for money.

Stopped here for breakfast after staying at The Star Inn. We didn't fancy a pub breakfast and had seen the Red Rum the day before - so pleased to decided to visit. There was a great choice of breakfast dishes catering to all tastes and dietary requirements. Service was great, with really friendly staff. It's quite a small cafe so did feel quite busy and can be a little noisy when the train is going (worth going just to see what I'm talking about) but it has a great atmosphere, is really good value and is lovely for kids

Fantastic breakfast after a day at the races. Really friendly staff and the food is fresh , hot and tasty. Love the little train too !

The restaurant is right in the centre of Lingfield, there is some parking outside and a free car park about 100 metres away. This would be a very difficult restaurant to use if use of a wheel chair was required. The entrance is narrow with a step and the tables inside are very close together. There is a small unisex toilet available. As I say it is small and basic, reasonably well presented but now looking a bit tired. It can be busy and cramped, so do not be surprised if you turn up and cannot get in. This is especially true on a weekend or race days. I am not sure if you can book a table. Another word of warning, it appears at this time they only take cash. The service is good, attentive and polite. It can be a bit slow when it is busy. The food overall is very good and there is a good selection of dishes available. It is hot, well cooked and very tasty, it's a real plate full and definitely not diet friendly. It can vary on occasions, but overall I have no issues with it. It is however good value for money for what you get. Great for a good breakfast but could do with a spruce up.

Excellent service and friendly staff always made welcome lovely coffee great food always what you want

I love to support independent business and there are are some amazing cafes and delis around, this is sadly not one of them, the ingredients appeared to be the cheapest they could have possibly got hold of, the sandwiches were frankly terrible, the pudding equally bad, the service was friendly and I really hope they improve their food. Also PLEASE get rid of the plastic boxes you are putting takeaway items in.

Called in at this spotlessly clean cafe on a Saturday morning before an early start at Lingfield races. Really efficient staff and a good selection offered on the menu. I went for a small standard breakfast and a tea (unusual for me to drink tea) and it really hit the spot and set me up for the day ahead.

Popped in for a quick lunch. We both had jacket potato’s. The menu said they were served with salad and olives. Ours arrived without olives, we didn’t say anything, we assumed they’d ran out. My friends jacket potato had some raw/hard bits, her coronation chicken wasn’t nice at all, more like cold chicken curry made with shredded chicken rather than chunks. My prawns were fine. Her latte wasn’t nice either, she ordered decaf, it was really dark, much darker than my regular latte. We went to the till to pay and noticed they had a huge bowl of olives....... They just hadn’t bothered to include them on our plates.

If you’re after a cooked breakfast this is definitely the cafe for you. They have a choice of plates from full English to scrambled egg and toast. The sausages were nice and the best thing about the meal was how ‘non-greasy’ it was. Nice service too. And at £6 for a cooked breakfast it’s hard to beat.

Nice little cafe, fairly modern inside. I had a breakfast which was really good if a little over priced compared to other places i use. Staff were friendly.

Stopped in long field looking for somewhere to have a bit of lunch and Costa had nothing to offer ( sadly not unusual these days in lots of their outlets) so we headed out and found this little cafe Friendly service and generous portions of food , family had selection of Prawn Sandwich , Omelette and chips and jacket potato and cups of tea , all of which were simple and cooked well Prices were competitive and the range of items was comprehensive Owner / chef very friendly and attentive We will call in again when passing through to or back from East Grinstead

A clean cafe with what seemed to be a comprehensive menu but the signs stating the minimum number of people per table and the lack of card facilities were somewhat off putting. I visited during the week and was 'allowed' to sit alone at a table for two as I asked and said I needed to work whilst drinking my coffee but I didn't feel particularly welcome. Maybe because I didn't order a breakfast? I was also not asked what kind of coffee I wanted and just presented with a high fat latte when actually I'd have preferred an Americano. Bit of a shame as I regularly have half an hour to kill at that time of day and need somewhere to stop and read through papers before my next client.

Ordered a large full English and vegetarian breakfast with a tea and cappuccino. The tea came with the tea bag still in the cup rather than a tea pot, cappuccino was ok. Veggie breakfast was scrambled egg, beans, hash browns, tin tomatoes and mushrooms. Mushrooms tasted of cheap oil and toast was completely soggy made me want to heave. Full English looked ok husband said it was reasonable but the whole lot was £17.00 which is in my opinion expensive for a basic breakfast that wasn't even enjoyable. They even charge a £1.00 a go to watch a toy train go round a track which puts pressure on parents to appease there children. Would not recommend.

A great little find, really good position, parking over the road and outside. Lovely staff, great food, very well presented and tasty.Also the tables and cafe so clean. Lots of choice on the menu and good prices. They do take away too. I will certainly return. Thanks for a lovely breakfast.

Called in for breakfast when staying at the race course. Didn’t want to pay hotel prices for breakfast and wanted a walk before breakfast. This place fitted the bill. Coffee was excellent and the racing breakfast hit the spot. I didn’t need to eat again until dinner. Staff were very friendly and efficient. They also cater for vegetarians, with a breakfast to suit amongst other items on The menu; which looked really good for lunch too. Children were welcomed by staff and the pancakes seemed to be food of their choice. Highly recommend

Well cooked breakfast with different themes related to horse racing, very pleasant person serving and cooking, great value and can recommend the Racing Breakfast

I visited Red Rum, after a difficult meeting. It was well decorated, with lots of light and a quiet, relaxed atmosphere. The staff were polite and assisted me well as I am disabled. Service came with a smile, you can have table or counter service. They offer meal deals, even on hot meals, with a wide range of food and drink; fresh cakes, fruit, chips, breakfasts, sandwiches made to order, lasagne, seafood cocktails etc. It was a great place to relax and unwind after a difficult afternoon.

On our way home from Eastbourne we diverted off the A22 Road into the delightful Surrey village of Lingfield to get a coffee and a bite to eat.

Nice little cafe with friendly service and good food. Jacket potato had generous filling and side salad and the potoato was light and fluffy.

Little over priced for the quality. There are lots of these Turkish run cafes popping up and all it would take is a little more care taken buying in quality sausages decent bread learn how to cook bacon properly. I love Turkish food (Mazi west croydon) I wouldn't mind the prices they charge if they used good quality ingredients. All that said it was a good omelet and good service .

traveling through Lingfield we wanted a breakfast before playing golf at Lingfied Park. well run very clean and great food right on the money. they even had a model train running around the ceiling on the hour.

Was recommended this cafe by a friend.service was brilliant however the food is expensive 9.00 for a breakfast to me seems steep so opted for just a bacon and egg sandwich 3.80. However i dont feel it needs salad and crisps for what is a breakfast item. Would i visit again? No

Good quick service, with a smile. Nice breakfast and snacks. Good coffee and tea. Worth stopping for a visit here.

A great little cafe just a short drive from Lingfield races. we all stop here for breakfast before going to the races. well worth getting to Lingfield early for.

Don't walk past this discrete yet excellent cafe. Extensive menu, Inc vegi options and excellent friendly service. Train track (£1.00 a go) adds entertainment for kids to watch. Children - friendly and well worth a visit :don't miss it!!

We come for breakfast every couple of weeks, Very nice - lots of choice, cooked to order and good value.

Good place to stop on cycle ride. Bike racks available at back of cafe. Friendly service and very good eggs on toast. Would visit again.

Really nice little greasy spoon cafe. If you want a full English or a burger and chips this is your place. Friendly staff, nice decor, clean toilets. I had the full vegetarian breakfast and it was lovely! Definitely recommend.

Dropped in at this oasis having just driven straight down from York.

My Favourite place to have English breakfast in the village ,very friendly and helpfull staff i love this place

Having read previous reviews, we stopped off for lunch before a spa day. This is a cute little café. The aura is very homely and we instantly felt comfortable. We had omelette with chips, very good. The staff were very attentive and we would definitely recommend this café.

i popped in there this morning, i was greeted by a very happy man, with a big smile who was happy to serve me, the food was pleasant and great value for money. well worth a visit

Clean and tidy busy little place, I had the veggie breakfast which was excellent and my husband had the full English. Pleasant staff and plenty of locals about which is a good sign. Maximum 15 minute walk from the Marriott and race course, well worth the effort.

£6.90 breakfast comes with tea coffee or can all cooked very well clean place with television there is some parking available nearby would come again only down point is sausage is cheap d have give 5 stars if it had a butcher sausage

Stayed just outside Lingfield and breakfast wasn't included, so finding this place was perfect. Looked popular but we were lucky that the cyclist had just left. Booth style table and excellent service. We all had the full English, which was well presented and not covered in grease or oil, reasonably priced. Bit to far to return, but if we were local we would use regularly.

Lovely friendly staff. Big plates for the meals, which are very filling. I can personally recommend their jacket potatoes. Comes with a side salad. Kids love putting money in machine to watch train go around top of walls. TV on all the time showing music channel.

Go in here quite a bit with friends. Lovely Breakfasts. Many versions to choose from. Also do meals at lunch time.Highly recommended

Having walked around the beautiful local countryside we were ready for a full English and this place hit the spot. Sadly not dog friendly but as the weather was so nice we were able to sit on the little tables outside. They were even good enough to bring out some water for the dog. excellent food and very reasonably priced. They also have soya milk which made my morning, there is nothing worse than going out for breakfast and not being able to have a cup of tea. Good size portions and their bubble and squeak is gorgeous.

Great for an all day breakfast or cafe lunch but the highlight for me is their cake which is not only delicious but also they give generous portions

I have eaten there twice now, and was very happy each time! Very polite waiters and the brunch food is great.

Love breakfast here! Variety of breakfast is broad so lots of choice! Always good value for money! Clean place and very pleasant staff.

Expensive breakfast for tinned tomatoes , cheap sausages and cheap beans. I expect a lot better ingredients for nearly £9. Wouldn't visit again

The red rum cafe provides simple food similar to home cooked meals at very reasonable prices. We usually go to this cafe with our grandchildren when we are in Lingfield and they provide suitable food for young children as well as adults. The portion of chips that accompany most meals are huge and very good. Small kids like to pay one pound to make the model train go rou8nd on its tracks. Overall pleasant food at very reasonable prices.

Enjoyed our breakfast here on the last morning of our UK trip. Restaurant decor was fun and service friendly. Food was nicely prepared and delicious.

Visited this Café yesterday with family after being recommended it. It was very clean and the staff very friendly. They seemed to have many regular customers as they spoke to several by name. The menu was interesting and sufficient. The food arrived hat and was both sufficient and tasty. Loved the décor as well as the little train that ran round the pelmet which was a nice unexpected touch. Would certainly visit this Café again and would recommend it to anyone who was in the area and wanted something simple but quick.

After going numerous times I thought it was time to leave a review. Usually we go for breakfast and the fry up's are always delicious. Good size with a lot of choice and high quality ingredients. I've also had a couple of lunches which were also just as good. Their home made chilli with rice is great. The service is always quick and the guys working there are very friendly with a relaxed atmosphere.

Was clean and food was ok trouble is nothing was cooked fresh on sight as they don't have the licence all they do is warm food up in a microwave.

This cafe passes itself off as Italian. Oh yeah?My takeaway cappuchino was poor and I later had to throw it away.Where a decent Italian coffee like Lavazza?My chicken escalope with mozzarella had to be on baguette as (remember the Italian?) No ciabatta available....It was billed as Italian "gourmet," That it was not, though it tasted fine but I could not detect the mozzarella? That, together with the cappo, came to £7.75 not cheap for something insubstantial and, in part, of poor quality.The names on the usual hygiene / company law certificates, as did the person who served me, indicate Eastern-European origin. Nothing Italian there either!There are a few other choices in the village / town that I should try if next around but certainly not here.

Has the potential to be a really decent cafe but the sausages are a real let down. cheapest sausages available and its not like the sets are cheap either!Even though its not the most competitively priced cafe i would still prefer to pay extra for an upgraded sausage

Visits Saturday morning before the races. Can't go wrong at all, cafe is clean and tidy. Food is presented well and tastes good. Worth a visit for breakfast!

Great friendly fast service, great breakfast fry up, good tea. Clean tables and good sized portions, I went off menu and asked for only bacon, tomato and toast which was catered for without hesitation. The picture is of my sons birthday breakfast

Lovely cafe clean friendly good menu choice well named for areaGood food easy park ........................Certainly visit again when in area

We had cooked breakfast here whilst on a camping trip nearby, before going to Chessington for the day and it set us up really well. Good service, good prices and really good food.

My family have enjoyed breakfast here several times and the quality is consistently high and provides excellent value for money. Younger visitors will enjoy the train that runs around the ledge below the ceiling and their parents will be reassured by the 5 star hygiene rating. We will be back!

Red Rum is a well run, clean and imaginative little cafe. The name comes from the proximity to Lingfield Racecourse. And possibly something to do with the little train that children can see ride around the ceiling for a pound in the machine. This is a place I frequently visit for lunch. You can get something decent from a wide-ranging menu for under a tenner. Portions are generous, quality is at the higher end for greasy spoon cafes, service is exceptionally good. Ideal for example for walkers or people looking for a filling snack. Personally I recommend the chili con carne, and my daughter loves the chips or Spag Bol. It's never going to get a Michelin star. But if you want something good and decent quick, you can't go far wrong at Red Rum.

Had breakfast there twice. Both times very good I don't want to write any more. I've said it all very good that's it

been here a few times now and never had to complain or ask for something that has been missed off or under/over cooked friendly polite staff price is maybe a bit more then anywhere else but i do go back so

Food is Terrific, Manager Owner is always happy in the morning.Staff are willing to change menu and help out to service the customers, good pricesRecommend the mince on toast with a good choc milkshake.

Came here rather than marriott for breakfast. Great range of different breakfasts. Very modern decor. Breakfasts were tasty but some parts had not been grilled (bubble and squeak) which meant the texture wasnt quite right. Slightly pricey compared to my local greasyspoon but still decent.

If you want an inexpensive breakfast/lunch option, which com in large portions, then you will like Red Rum. Service is good. It is a cafe and not a restaurant but worth dropping in too

Have eaten here on a number of occasions, usually a late breakfast or lunch. Food has always been nicely cooked and service pleasant. Good value .

Visited for lunch with my sister, food was of great quality and the staff were very friendly and attentive.

Found after Lou Lou Janes was shut (not for the first time). Very helpful Italian proprietor, good efficient service for bunch of 8 cyclists despite cafe being very busy. Food very good standard and reasonably priced

Visited for brunch with my two very young children. Food was what you would expect for a greasy spoon maybe a bit better quality than average. Service was good and quick and the place was very clean and well decorated. The train running around the top of the cafe was a fantastic addition and my two year old boy loved it and it kept him amused while we finished off our food so we didn't have to worry about him getting bored and annoying non children loving clientele! Will definitely be going back again.

Red Rum is open long hours and serves decent greasy spoon food. I disagree with a friend of mine on the quality of the sausage though. He likes, I don't. Worth a visit if you're in the village

We popped in today. For a bacon sandwich. And a cup of tea. The cafe was clean. Staff were all nice.

I have been in The Red Rum cafe a few times before in the last 18 months with a good friend of mine who lives very locally to it. On previous occasions, I have not paid too much attention to the food, service etc, but this time I was on my own - literally!, as you will read later - and that made the 'experience' one that has prompted me to put digit to keyboard.I visited TRRC about a week ago. It was about 10am and, even though it's the only cafe in Lingfield village centre, it was EMPTY. It was not a race day (Lingfield Park racecourse is only half a mile along the road) nor was there anything much going on in Lingfield at all....I sat in one of the booths on the left hand side and had hardly taken the menu from it's slot before I was 'jumped on' by one of the staff telling me I could not sit there. There is a sign on the wall above the sugar which reads... 'This table is for 4 or more people' (note - 'people', not 'customers'.... tells you a lot already...) I made a point of looking around the cafe (it has approx 28-30 covers) hoping the staff member would take the hint, but no. So, I got up and went toward the smaller booths on the right of the cafe.... I then noticed that they also had signs above the sugar which read 'these tables are for 2 or more people'. Hmmm.......... So, I was left with sitting on one of the black tables in the middle and right in the window (I am not a poseur and don't particularly like having people waking past the window watching me inserting baked beans into my facial orifice........ I sat down on a hard seat (the ones in the booths are nicely padded) and surveyed the menu..... I chose the 'Bubble Breakfast':- one sausage, one fried egg, beans, bubble (small portion as it turned out) and something else which escapes my memory. Including the coffee, that was ...... £6.90. A little steep, but I held out hope of being dazzled by some excellent ingredients to justify the price tag..... I'll come back to that later....Right,... while I was waiting for my food, a chap who seemed to be well known to the staff came in and sat in one of the booths CLEARLY labelled for 'more than 2 people'.... I waited to see him moved to one of the central black tables. Instead he was willingly served by the same member of staff who had insisted I moved from the original booth. A few mins later and a party of 3 people came in, who also seemed to be known to the staff. They sat in one of the booths now behind me CLEARLY labelled as being for 'more than 4 people'. I waited for them, too, to be moved. Instead - and you're probably already there, Dear Reader, - the same member of staff happily took their order.Clearly there is one rule for 'known patrons' and one for the rest of us who, seemingly, should know their place and sit where they are told.Now back to the food..... As I said earlier, at the price, I was expecting good quality ingredients. One of my bug bears with cafe breakfasts is the quality of sausage and baked beans..... For those of you of a certain age who, like me, remember when Iceland was Bejam, will know what a living hell can be contained within a sausage skin when you remove just about everything that gives you a clue that it's contents were once called Piggy and led a reasonably happy life until it gave up it's existence in order to bring one satisfaction at breakfast time.I can honestly say after eating the sausage on my plate last week at The Red Rum Cafe, that the pigs of North East Surrey can sleep peacefully in their styes tonight (and every night!) as there is practically NO chance of them EVER ending up on a plate in this establishment - either in a sausage skin or as bacon! I CANNOT remember the last time I ate such a bland, tasteless and textureless 'sausage'. And as for the beans.... Heinz, they were not......If the owners are reading this, I wish to make it clear that the ONLY reason I paid the bill (with a staff gratuities dish right under my nose too!!!!) is that my friend who lives nearby goes in there regularly (and ALSO got moved recently!!!!!) and they may have recognised her and tied her up with me - and I would not want them having a go at her.Won't be wasting my time and/or money patronising this place again.

I have popped in here twice now. The first time was for an English Breakfast which was wholesome and definitely not greasy. More recently I had a filled baguette which arrived with crisps and salad garnish.Good service and the place is very clean. Recommended.

Great food, great service always a friendly smile, clean and tidy and although busy you still get one to one attention, well worth a visit .

Local cafe, staff are always great and food served with a smile and all reasonable costs. Highly recommend and I will continue to visit.

A regular haunt when I'm in Lingfield. Huge portions, tasty breakfasts and great value for money. Plus very nice, friendly staff. I couldn't recommend it enough. Be sure to check out the model train.

A typical cafe nothing special with all the menu items you would expect. The guys running it try hard to please - if you want basic cheap and fast food you will be fine - but dont expect too much [and ask him to run the model train for you ! ??]

This is a cafe. The menu is quite extensive, the staff are very friendly and the atmosphere is warm. This is a great place just to pop in somewhere, grab something to eat while chatting to your mates. There is more on the menu than the typical greasy spoon; plenty of choice, paninni's, sandwiches, light snacks, lunches and so on.

Love this place!! The breakfasts are top quality , not the crap you get at most greasy spoons. Great option to have salmon, hollaindaise sauce, etc as well as having a proper pork sausage. Big portions and left feeling full and reasonably priced too. Always come here when coming to Lingfield.

The Red Rum Café is a very friendly, homely and comfortable place to visit. Chris the owner, and the other staff always welcome you with a smile. I go there quite often, have a coffee or a snack and read the paper. They have a steam train that runs around the ceiling and entertains the small children for 1 gbp. The food is delicious, because it is cooked right there when you order. Hopefully, after November they will still be able to serve hot meals, as the Council only gave them a licence to serve hot food until November this year. I have signed their petition to hopefully, make sure that this Council do not spoil this wonderful convenient and friendly café we have in Lingfield. One other café only serve small cakes, and lunch snacks, and then of course there is a Costa Café. Good luck Chris, and keep up the good work. Yes, Chris has been successful and they now have a permanent hot food licence.

We have been regulars here since it opened. The food is always great, The staff are very friendly. There is no better cafe in the village.

We went to Red Rum for brunch and ordered the large breakfast and pancakes.The prices (£18 for 2 breakfast and 2 small hot drinks!) were high, which would be acceptable if the food matched, but it did not. The plate was cold, the food was lukewarm, the sausage had never been near a pig, the bacon was fatty, the beans were cheap and watery, the eggs were cooked in mould, and the tea was on ration, in fact it was very disappointing. We like a greasy spoon just as much as a top quality breakfast, and this was neither. The cafe itself is fine, there is a nice model railway but was not used as a pound needs to be inserted to make it go round?! Next time, we will just eat at home.

I pop in here regularly for breakfast, great strong coffee, friendly charming staff, the lunch menu looks lovely. What more could you want?

Really super place. Have to admit I'm a regular! The breakfasts are yummy - freshly cooked to order so obviously a slight delay before your plate arrives, but absolutely worth the wait. A warm welcome is guaranteed at this bright, clean, good value cafe

Visited the Red Rum cafe for lunch on 13th October, meeting a friend for a catch-up. Very laid back place to eat. No pestering you to wolf your food down and free up a table. The chilli con carne here is delicious and quite different but tasty nonetheless. The all day breakfast was good quality, well cooked and satisfying. They offered pancakes with fresh fruit and syrup which is quite extraordinary in a small cafe. It was well worth trying. All in 3 teas, 2 meals, 2 puds - just over £21. Brilliant quality, generous quantity, nice place to chat for a couple of hours. We'll definitely meet up there again

We ordered from what was stated as their "Premium" sandwich range which was to be served with roasted vegetables and crisps. What a joke. The bread was rock hard and stale, like eating a rusk and there was one slice of courgette, 2 slices of pepper and 3 (yes, I said 3) pringles. And to add insult to injury, the pringles were soft! It cost a shade under £15 for 2 sandwiches and 2 cold drinks. You're not even paying for good service, as you order at the counter and they come and plonk it down in front of you. What a rip off.

Three of us had breakfast. Wonderful service with a smile. Very attentive and accommodation. Food was fresh, hot and delicious. Would definitely recommend

Have been here twice now so writing this review on the two visits.First time I went I thought it was fantastic .... It wasn't busy and the food was served hot, well presented and tasty.Second time I went I was really looking forward, when I arrived the cafe was really busy. Took ages for my order to arrive and when it did it was warm, not as tasty and very oily.I will give the place a third try - and depending on that visit will depend if I give up on the place or return.

A little gem for breakfast stops in Lingfield, or for tea/coffee. Excellent fare, typically £5-£8 for breakfast. Excellent espresso!!Friendly and have been several times over last 12 months

Good quality food resonable prices. The children loved the train in the ceiling, well worth a visit.

Decent breakfast baguette at a fair price with competent service. Staff are friendly and good with looking after little ones. Always nice to support a local business, would use again.

If we are planning on breakfast out, the Red Rum Cafe is always near to top of out list. It's convenient, parking is usually easy, and the prices are very reasonable. You always get a warm welcome and the service is quick and efficient.

Very noisy, really slow service, tasteless food, tea like you get in McDonald's hugely over priced and over rated. Baguettes were the ones you or heat yourself and under cooked, sausages were tasteless!! And I do mean tasteless, very greasy as well.Won't use again, could've got a better, cheaper sandwich from the coop opposite! £1.20 for a tea!!! 7.20 for two baguettes

I had Beans on 2 toast and a glass of water and my staff had Scrambled egg on 2 toasts and a cup of Tea!

Its not very often that my partner and I have mid morning breakfast, but we were glad that we did on this occassion.The Caffè was bustling for mid- morning and the decor was just right. The proprietor seemed very in control and attended to everyones needs. The hunger buster and normal breakfasts tgat we ordered were just right and well cooked for what was veru reasonably priced.A nice place for a catch up or some light refreshments. Well worth a visit.

excellent place to stop for breakfast whilst cycling. Good coffee too. Friendly welcome and good value. Would recommend and intend to return.......................

The entry level breakfast in this well appointed café is £5.90. For this you get two rashers of OK but rather salty bacon, an egg nicely fried in a griddle ring and presented on lightly fried bread, a truly nasty cheap and disgusting sausage (the large two ply 'restaurant quality' paper napkin was probably more nutritious) and a cup of tea. Staff OK, pretty busy so it cant be generally too bad but a truly disappointing and hugely overpriced breakfast.

We recently had a family break in Lingfield, staying at the Marriott on the racecourse which was very good but the breakfast was pricey for all 4 of us.We ventured into Lingfield and found the Red Rum Café in the High Street.Really friendly greeting and excellent choice of breakfasts on offer.We went back each morning and tried 2 or 3 different breakfasts between us which set us up nicely for the rest of the day.Loved the model train which went round a track along the picture rail of the café - very unusual.Generous helpings, not too greasy, excellent cup of tea and toast at no extra cost.If we head back that way we will definitely have breakfast at the Red Rum.

I've been to this cafe for just a cup of tea and, more recently, for lunch. You get a great welcome and very friendly service from start to finish (but not intrusive). I had the all day breakfast. This came with tinned tomatoes, which I don't like. The waiter commented on this and said to ask for fresh tomatoes next time. Will definitely be going back!

I visited with my sister,A good selection of food to choose from, v.clean, modern decor with comfy booths.I liked the racing 'red rum' theme and felt it was a nice touch to tie in to Lingfields racing history. I had cheese omelette and chips and my sister had tuna melt, both really good size portions and reasonably priced.Its a family run business and the waiter was friendly ,plus the chef came over to chat as my sister speaks spanish which was nice.We will definatly go back nxt time we are in Lingfield.Well done 'Red Rum' good to see a small family business doing good food and friendly service.

We live quite locally to this cafe and use it quite frequently for breakfast and lunch. It is very clean and the food is of a good quality. The full breakfast is tasty without horrible grease, and everything is fresh and cooked to order. Very reasonable prices too.
