We visited on a Saturday lunch time for something to eat after our son’s swimming lessons. Our food was delicious as always. Service is quick and friendly. We have eaten here a few times since moving to the area two years ago and have enjoyed it so much we plan to make it a regular Saturday fixture. Lovely team, great food and so nice to see a local business packed full of happy customers.

Absolutely smashing. We enjoyed a healthy and jumbo breakfast and the ham, egg and chips. Good coffee. Large portion sizes, quick service, friendly staff. PERFECT poached eggs! And with a 5 hygiene rating it was clean and well maintained. A local gem. Oh and did I mention… PERFECT poached eggs!!!

Back again after a while, it’s had a new kick of paint and it looks fresh and welcoming. Lovely staff to greet you, great breakfast again which I can’t fault. It’s a 10/10 every time I visit which is why I need the exercise to work the breakfasts off lol 👍

Food and service are always top notch. Brilliant breakfasts with quality ingredients, which also includes tea or coffee. You can even make one or two ingredient swaps, making it flexible and very good value. Updated decor and interior gives it a great feel.

The breakfasts here, never disappoints! They are by far the best breakfast you can get in the area. The hash browns are always crispy, and the toast is never soggy, it is and will probably always will be my go to spot for breakfast. The staff are always wonderful too, don’t have a bad word to say about any of them

This is a family run business that's been serving fantastic food for years. Standards are very high, with local butchers sausages, free range eggs and decent bread. All the staff and family are lovely, and now they've extended seating outside with a protective marquee, I can bring my dog. Winner!

This is the first time I’ve been here for a long time due to waiting for the restrictions to relax over restaurants in general. I’ve returned to find they have done a amazing job of refurbishing the cafe with very good ventilation and a clean and slick paint job. I ordered what I love to order a Jumbo Breakfast which is just as good as the last time I ate here The staff are very friendly and willing to help at any time. Great value for money and lovely relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommend for a cheeky bit of food in the morning if you can’t be bothered to cook for your self.

Had a lovely veggie sandwich with hash browns and fried eggs,only one issue I had was I had a bit of a naff tummy, I’ve had problems before with vegetarian options coming into the same cooking place as meat was wondering if this could be a problem, apart from that lovely service , well priced and yummy sandwich.

This cafe is very popular with locals and it is easy to understand why. It is clean and attractive and serves great food! The challenge perhaps is to find a seat!We had two of their jumbo breakfasts at £8 each but you can configure your own breakfast! Their menus can be found in the photo section of their facebook page.

Went in with my dad for a quick breakfast. We both got the standard breakfasts which were a good portion size. Sausages and bacon were excellent! Young but useful staff that were all smiles.

We were in the cafe on Saturday, and we had got there after they finished serving food, (the kitchen closes half an hour before the cafe closes). It was no problem at all, we got our food and as always it was quick service and delicious food. Not only that but there were people who came in after we did and they too were served. Really good service and we will be back.

Fairly confusing breakfast menu as you can't get a full English with everything on so have to add mushrooms, tomatoes. black pudding etc as extras which makes it fairly expensive (around £9) but nice enough breakfast, pleasant surroundings and staff

Staying at a nearby hotel that didn't offer breakfast so googled places nearby, so glad this one popped up! Lovely clean and welcoming cafe. Service friendly, nothing too much trouble and food was spot on. The potion sizes generous and so nice to have a decent veggie breakfast on the menu, the veggie sausages were the nicest I've ever had and the meat sausages were delicious too my husband said. Wish we lived nearer so we could go back again soon! If you are fortunate enough to live in this lovely town I would not hesitate in giving this cafe a chance, they had a lovely lunch menu available as well.

Attended this location on Saturday 20/8/16 and had to wait for some 5 minutes to be served, whilst what can only be described as a youth club going on at the back of the shopOnce the food arrived I was very unimpressed with the quality of the chips which were all hard and overlooked and to be honest were obviously a very sub standard brand of frozen chips, and not pleasant to eat.Rest of the food was ok , but will not be visiting again as especially the prices are very steep for a small business

OK - I'm really not a fan of dogs being allowed in eateries, I feel the only exceptions should be assistance dogs. When we arrived - we ordered from the extensive breakfast menus, there are several breakfasts on offer or you can swap some items or even 'build your own'. The breakfast was delicious, freshly cooked and hot. Not greasy at all. I would visit again, but for the fact that the restaurant is dog friendly and I feel that animals should not be in a restaurant.

My son and I have been coming here for the last 3-4 years and 9 times out of 10 it has been spot on. I do agree with a previous comment about clearing away and shutting up whilst customers are still in the cafe which is a little bit annoying. It can also can get quite hot & stuffy inside during summer months due to the large windows.Overall good quality food which after trying out so many other cafe's, restaurants and garden centre restaurants for breakfast Short N Sweet is excellent value.

Always fresh, always friendly, always good quality. Sandwiches, baguettes, baps always made to order with any combination, which is great for fussy eaters who want cheese salad but no tomatoes.

We have been to this cafe several times for breakfast and thought it very good value for money and the produce served very good as well.However today we needed a spot of lunch, arrived at 1.50 pm signage indicated that it closed at 2.30 pm all good we thought. Two other people eating so I sat down, my husband ordered our food then we were asked to move as they were cleaning ready for closing.As we had already paid for our food and indeed were hungry we did that, but to be honest it is very off putting to be eating your food with staff sweeping an obviously dirty ( in view of the weather )entrance mat. Cleaning the display cabinets,strong smelling cleaning fluid used to mop the floor, staff on their hands and knees cleaning the table pedestals!Both my husband and I felt very uncomfortable and will not be returning because of this,the quality of the food was as good as ever, but in my opinion if the staff won't to leave by 2.30 then close at 2pm, cleaning such as we witnessed should be done after you are shut.It would be unfair to say that this is a poor establishment because as I stated within the post until today everything has been fine, so was difficult to rate, just wanted to make owners and users aware.

Enroute to Oxfordshire last week I stopped by this gem of a place for a bite of lunch. I was quite taken by the constant flow of people already dining and those just popping in for a take out. I was greeted, welcomed and offered a seat. Nice! The tricky part was actually choosing what I wanted. It was part breakfast, which looked very good (judging on the plate next to me), so opted for a Toasty and cuppa. Superb! I'm coming back for breakfast on my next trip and will certainly go out of my way to go here more frequently. Just to try the fabulous selection. Great atmosphere, friendly bunch - a bit of a gem.Well done.

Breakfast at Short n Sweet easily stands out above the crowd and delivers one of the best traditional 'full english' dining experiences I have ever had the pleasure of eating. The food is presented in a freshly simple and tidy manner Sausages specially selected by the owner are meaty worthy of special note. The Cafe itself is bright and airy and is often very busy.

I have visited on a Friday evening with a friend. The food was great, service fast an efficient. Only downside to our dinner was the fact we have been sat in a small room with lights everywhere (spot lights, chandelier and wall lights) which was an atmosphere killer. We have enquired about dimming or turning some off, which was not possible (all on one circuit), we were not offered to be relocated into an area of the pub with less lights and more atmosphere.

I’ve been coming to Tylney since 2010 for special occasions such as birthdays, Christmas, anniversaries etc. sadly it’s gradually gone down hill and this will possibly be my last visit. I dined at the oak room this week and when the menu was put in front of me i had no idea what to order. The menu was outdated, stuffy and very overpriced. Long gone are the days where you sat in the library, had your amuse-bouch and marvelled at what to order. Your order was taken prior to your arrival at the oak room and your wine was waiting at your table for your arrival. I ended up ordering by eliminating either incredibly boring options like soup and ludicrously expensive ones like £47 Dover sole. I had the whipped goats cheese starter and the pork main. The food tasted nice but it really was nothing special. The menu was just lacking in creativity and provenance. Back in the day you’d walk in the oak room and there was live piano, candles on the table and the silver cloche covered your food and was beautifully removed when the dish was in front of you. All these details made the extra cost worth it. When you pair it all back sadly it’s just not worth it anymore. I know places like Tylney are incredibly expensive to run so some adjustments have to be made but these are the things that made it special and kept us coming back over the years. Places like The Pig have left Tylney behind. Perhaps it’s time to rethink the French menu for something with provenance, after all Hampshire is a rich county. Back in the heyday of Tylney Hall 20-30 years ago, I appreciate that English food and wine wasn’t as well known or at the level it is at today but it would perhaps be more imaginative, creative and attract more guests if the menu was adapted to be the ‘best of British’ - including all of the wonderful food that Hampshire and neighbouring counties can offer (including the wine!). Back in the 1990s this sort of traditional French menu felt exciting but by today’s culinary standards it is bland and mediocre. On this visit we also found out that the old snooker table is gone. It broke and it was taken away, never fixed. This is incredibly sad as it was a family tradition to have a game of snooker after dinner in a room which was full of history.
