Rickyard Cafe in Bromsgrove

Mmmm that’s he only way to describe our food. It was excellent, bacon sarnie & egg & sausage sarnie. Really good produce & never really tasted sausage like it. A little more pricy than normal but what you pay for you get. A smallish blond girl asking our order at the till & so switched on. She even asked did we want the sandwich buttered. Everything about the visit was 1st Class. Just one observation, I would have liked to know the staff’s names. Maybe a badge. Lovely young man bringing the food out. Call him MrX & Mrs X on the till. I have even brought a menu home to plan the next visit. Thank you.

We met with some of our family for brunch, 10.30 Sunday. Just managed to get a car parking space. There was a queue to get in but it soon disappeared. Our food was delivered quickly by cheerful staff. Our granddaughter enjoyed looking at the goats. She’s a little too young to feed them. We will go back. Maybe aim for a slightly quieter time. The cafe was less busy by 11.30.

I’ve been several times to Rickyards and have also recommended to friends in the past. However, today was very poor. My friend and I arrived and found a table outside, ordered 2 coffees and then waited half an hour for these to arrive. They were lukewarm when the waitress eventually brought them out so not enjoyable at all. The waitress was lovely and apologised for the wait but why only have ONE person making the hot drinks when you know it’s always busy at the weekends? My friend and I have said we will never visit at the weekend again. I know we weren’t the only ones to complain either. Two men next to us had to go and ask where their hot drinks were and a couple the other side were served their breakfast which then went cold while they waited for their tea and coffee too. Not good enough for such a popular place.

Visit regularly & always find food, service, drinks & menu top notch. This cafe offers very good value for money & it’s always busy because of that. It’s clean, friendly & well staffed, so when it’s busy the food is still served in a timely manner. Lastly I’m delighted I can take my dog there too !

Visited here this morning with my son, daughter-in-law and two Granddaughters, so a mix of ages, it’s very busy but the wait was virtually nil, we ordered breakfast items, it’s very clean and the food was hot, the coffees were delicious. We fed the goats outside, there’s extra seating all around outside, some over look the pond, it’s a fabulous view from here. The toilets were spotlessly clean. The staff are very polite and it felt like whatever you asked they would find a way to accommodate you.

Fab breakfast in a beautiful location! Friendly and helpful staff and the goats were super cute in the garden. Hidden gem

We had the afternoon tea which I had been brought as a gift for my birthday, the afternoon tea is served after two Tuesday to Thursday, the afternoon tea was lovely there was so many sandwiches which were delicious, good job they box up what you can’t eat, the only negative I think is only one drink included usually with afternoon tea you can get refills, but having said that would recommend, and there is a lovely garden out the back with tables and goats you can feed.

Myself and my brother along three children(all with SEND needs) went in a hike today and came across your cafe. By the time we found you, we had been walking for 5 hours, getting tired and covered in mud. You guys were so lovely. I love the muddy boot drop-off sign. The boys were worried you wouldn't let them in. The food was lovely, the service was fantastic. An error was made but quickly fixed, infact we didn't even notice the error until a member of your team pointed it out. My children felt safe. They loved feeding the goats and were so relaxed there.. even talking to other children. The whole atmosphere was lovely. You have now become our stop off point our weekly hikes.

Limited selection Portions so small it looked like a starter Restaurant prices in a cafe That you queue to order. Good for a coffee break not for meals

I called the cafe a few days ago to book a table for Father’s Day to take my dad for breakfast. On the phone they stated they DO NOT take reservations on the weekend and that if we turn up they will more than likely find us a table. The reason I wanted to book is my dad is disabled and really struggles so wanted that security. I accepted the fact that they didn’t take reservations but would be happy to get/wait for a table on arrival. Upon arrival at around 10:30am there were quite a lot of empty tables at the back of the room but no one was being seated in them. I asked the server if we could go and take a seat and he said “those tables had been reserved”. I said to the server “I tried to reserve and was told you don’t take reservations?” He apologised and explained that those tables had been reserved for people by the owner and that it was unfortunately out of his control. I could tell everyone around me was disgusted by this as we were all waiting and yet there was lots of (reserved) empty tables. I really think this is appalling considering you “Don’t take reservations” after waiting for about 20 minutes we decided to leave. It’s such a shame that it’s one rule for one and one rule for another and quite frankley poor customer service.

Great food and drink, not overpriced for the quality of food. It has a car park, however the cafe gets very full around lunchtime and you may have to wait for a table. Service is very good considering the amount of customers when full.

Made a quick visit to Rickyard Cafe. It won’t be the last. Firstly those beautiful goats behind the cafe. That setting is just beautiful. Rickyards was so very clean. Quite sparkling. The staff matched, so very well turned out. Also so warm & friendly.. The staff matched the cafe Exactly, Pristine. Lovely coffee & tasty sandwich. The only one critism was the cake selection didn’t tempt me 😭. Otherwise just lovely. You could also purchase a small cup of goat food to feeds those babes. Kids just loved this option.

Perfect spot for a quick or leisurely drink, snack or meal. We popped in for lunch this week and the jacket potatoes were generously portioned with plenty of filling and salad on the side that was well dressed. The staff are incredibly helpful and friendly, always going above and beyond to ensure customers are satisfied. I am gluten free and everyone has always been super knowledgeable on what is suitable and how food is prepared.

We went for a fusion evening meal which are held every so often, you have to pay for food upfront and drinks on the night. The food was very tasty and presented well, the Crème brûlée was runny like custard so didn't quite hit the mark. In all very nice untill you pay for drinks. Our half penny rose wine was very nice and not bad at just under £10... but I was completely taken aback when we were charged £4.50 for bottle of water... I can't say it was a new bottle of water, as it had been opened before it reach our table and the bottle top was nowhere in sight, and no labels on the bottle, other tables had the cork top bottles, not sure if they had to pay... I'm sure it was a refilled bottle so always ask them to open it at your table... but seriously £4.50 for water either way is extortionate. Thanks to the staff who were polite and hard working

We visited early Sunday morning for breakfast, we both had the Rickyard full english, well cooked, only criticism is ditch the sour dough toast and I don't enjoy poached eggs cooked in vinegar water.

This was second visit to Rickyard, and a bit disappointed today. Had the baked potato with tuna mayonnaise. There is far too much mayonnaise used making it very sloppy and hardly able to taste the tuna.

Fantastic menu and lovely food. Great service and a wonderful setting. Very clean throughout. Something for everyone. Would highly recommend a visit.

Mother’s Day meal. Excellent meal With good quality products cooked and served beautifully. Staff attentive and efficient. Not much more I can say except ready to book for next year

Went here for Mother’s Day for Sunday lunch what can I say this has to be the best Sunday roast we have had in along time 3 course’s of absolute quality food so tasteful. Front of house staff were as usual very polite and attentive and the 3 courses were brought out with perfect time between courses. This made a perfect experience for Mother’s Day I want to thank all the staff, front of house and kitchen for a fantastic meal Cannot recommend highly enough..

Fantastic lunch spot! Beautiful location and the food is amazing! We had a club sandwich and chicken burger which were super tasty.

Took a chance and found this cafe on the way back from a walking trip near Klent Hills. Glad that we did. Plenty of parking and the cafe itself has a nice spacious and quality feel to it. Menu is really good and there seems to be something to suit most tastes and appetites, ranging from carnivore to vegan. Staff seemed friendly and service was prompt. Food that we ordered was very good - and pricing seemed reasonable relative to portion size and quality. Only criticism would be that we had to ask for our table to be wiped down as it was still covered in mess from the previous occupants. Downside for us, is that it is yet another eating establishment that now allows dogs inside, so doubt that we will go again. However, if that is what you are looking for then this place could be a real find for you!

We enjoyed the Sunday lunch on 17 th December which we had booked with family Great food excellent service & good value We visit regularly as the food & cakes are always delicious 👍🏻

I felt I must say how much a group of us from the B123 walking group enjoy our visit yesterday. The moment we entered the cafe was outstanding. A Very warm welcome from all the staff and sheer professionalism from the front of house and kitchen staff. The breakfasts were so well presented. Hot and arrived so quickly. A Very well oiled operation and immaculately clean. We will certainly be back. Thank you Robert.

My family and I had a selection if cakes including: choc & cherry cake, oreo cookies. The drinks we had were an oreo milkshake, a loaded hot chocolate, and a chocolate milkshake. The service was great and the music created a great ambiance.

We have visited a couple of times both for breakfast and found Rickards to be very welcoming, and always clean. The full English breakfast is really good quality and is a decent size, and it's nice to get to choose how you want your eggs cooked. I had mine poached and they were perfectly cooked. The latte is also very good. We will definitely be coming back again, this time to try the lunch menu.

Visited with group of friends after a walk on Clent. Lovely clean cafe, good choice of food which was prompt delivered presentation of food very good and tasted good too! Great coffee as well and tempting selection of cakes. Will go again.
