The Beeches Cafe in South Bucks

Nice cafe but one-way system is unnecessary and inconvenient. One week the flat white was ok, the following week it was awful. Bacon and egg bap good except for bread falling apart. Staff are pleasant but need training.

Really great location to start or end any walk around Burnham Beeches. Food and drink both seemed reasonable and tasted great. Lovely to sit outside on the benches and take in the surroundings. It's also safe for children because it's fenced in.

excellent cafe ... would recommend this as a place to visit. we stopped off half way round our walk through Burnham Beeches woods and was very thankful for drinks, great cakes and ice creams the staff were very friendly and helpful guiding me through best options for my intolerance challenges

Advertised on the menu as Bockwurst Hot dog with crispy onions in a baguette for £4.79. This lead me to believe we would be getting a proper German sausage with fried crispy onions. In reality it was a cheap frankfurter sausage topped with crispy onions from a packet in a stale baguette. My son even discovered mould on his baguette. I appreciate it’s just a cafe and not a restaurant but even so I would expect better given the description on the menu and no excuse for stale bread.

Ordered 2 coffees. It took 25 minutes for them to arrive. No warning that service would be slow. Teas were being served to later arrivals immediately. Asked why we hadn't been warned and they said there wasn't a queue when we ordered; where is the logic in that?

2 poor coffees 1 dry brownie 3 rolls that did not warrant the 30 mins wait. Dirty seats and dry dog water bowls.

Great location for a cyclist's coffee. Good food too. Don't go at peak times if you are averse to queuing.

We stopped in for a sandwich after a stroll around the beeches. This is the only cafe on the beeches but it is very reasonably priced. There staff were friendly and efficient. We ordered a couple of egg mayo sandwiches, they were very good and came with both salad and crisps which was a welcome surprise. The food and the dining experience was far better than at the restaurant we had been to the night before. This is a great cafe and would recommend you visit.

There is nothing to moan about! This is a cafe in the middle of nowhere providing a welcome service to walkers in muddy boots, families with children having fun plus dogs. It's a fun spot and the service, drinks snd cakes were ideal for our group of 6 varying from 2 to 69. I've gone for four stars because it's the appropriate score for an outside cafe operating in those circumstances. Always worth stopping here for refreshments.

A well-placed outdoor cafe beside toilets and a car park, leading to many forest walks. Homemade lunch snacks like quiche, houmous, macaroni cheese, and soup. Wide choice of hot drinks and mouthwatering range of home-made cakes. Dogs allowed inside outer fence, and plenty of seating. A great place to relax, but not much shelter if it rains.

Stopped on our 8km walk for a hot chocolate with friends. The ladies were supper lovely and the food looked amazing. A must visit if you are in the beeches.

Stopped for hot chocolate during our walk. Lovely drink, service and friendly staff. Definitely recommend.

Very slow service with only two staff, neither of whom seemed to have a clue what they were doing. It was over an hour since since the rain had stopped but no one had wiped down the wet table and chairs. Gave up waiting to be served after 10 minutes and we were second in the queue!

Called in for hot drinks, bacon rolls and cheese sandwich. The service was terrible, food not great and the staff were unapologetic about the very long wait time. Such a shame but won’t be calling in again.

Stopped of for a snack & a cup of tea walking the dog. Bacon roll £2.75 & tea came to £4.75. Food came quickly but it was a Thursday morning so not busy. Mostly uncovered outside seating but in a woodland setting. Both Dog friendly & dog free areas. Child friendly. Sells sandwiches, toasties, jacket potatoes, cakes, pastries, ice creams, biscuits, snacks & hot & cold drinks. Small Burnham Beeches info hut next to cafe. Car parking & disabled parking right outside cafe.

Not the best service. They only use single use cups, had tea the cup had what I would call a furry feel to the rim not nice. Might use it if really cold in the winter. No soft ice cream for my dog.

At last the cafe has re-opened with new opening time of 10am (but I personally think they are missing customers with the late start). Newly equipped, new staff who are very pleasant. I'm now starting to use it for my cycling meets. First impressions: Coffee OK, cafe selection very good. Can't comment on food as yet and haven't seen any slow service as some reviews have suggested. Give it a go! Beautiful location.

We stopped for cups of tea. Staff very friendly and helpful. We are a parkinsons group but we did find getting some milk for our tea out of a flask at side of counter very difficult maybe a jug on counter would be easier. Toilets clean and very accessible. Good experience.

Nice cafe run by complete amateurs. Everything takes forever, drinks are drunk long before food arrives. Dreary toasted sandwiches, weak milky coffee. Hopeless staff. Come on you new owners. Get in some good staff, don't employ children.

Since the new people have taken over they are always running out of food. This weekend they did not have any milk! Asked for a jacket potato with cheese & beans but they had no beans. The previous week they didn't have any potatoes. Previous weeks there was again very little choice. The food is generally overpriced. The coffee is very nice. They also do not sell the kids ice creams at £1 each now, so too expensive for many people now as they are approx. £2.50. The staff are always friendly but feel sorry for all the flack they receive due to not enough food etc.

Stopped briefly to use toilet, whilst here thought would get a can of drink, staff very nice and good que. However very very overpriced, two lolly pops and two cans of drink was £5!!! The cans were not priced hadthey have been I certainly would have left them there. Do not object to some mark up but felt that was really over the top!!! Put me off stopping here again.

Lovely stop at this little gem of a cafe in burnham beeches. Unpretentious, friendly staff, good food and lovely atmosphere. Perfect for a quick pit stop on our walk

Good little cafe, seems to be doing more ice cream than it used to. I just stopped for a drink and a magnum but had not problems with service. Its nice and relaxed with plenty of seating (all out side).

3 people in queue. I was 2nd, gave up after c.10 mins as despite ordering just an espresso it still hadn’t been made.

this cafe is a huge let down. the drinks are watery and have no flavour and the service dreadfully slow. the former people were streets ahead always able to cope with large amounts of customers. they also seem to want to plug cafe d'or ice cream whereas before we could always a great variety of snacks on display.and a good selection of

Having visited burnham beeches for years, we are very familiar with its cafe. It has new management and it shows, but not for the better.

Last reviewed this cafe in July last year, when I gave it a 4/5 rating. Visited today and it is clearly under new management. It was and still is a non pretentious cafe in the woods so people shouldn’t review it as or compare it to anything other than that. After a walk in the woods it provides a very welcome coffee and bacon roll.

Their hot chocolate used to be the best ever, However, lately when I have been there their machine has been out of order for months and was given supermarket brand which tasted awful; I have been back twice lately but the cafe had been closed for some unknown reason. Very disspointed as can do with hot food and drinks after a cold walk.

Sad to hear that the cafe has closed indefinitely until further notice. Reason unknown although plenty of rumours. So, no drink/food facilities but the visitor centre and toilets are still open as usual. Take a flask and (winter) picnic for now.

Very inadequate refreshment facilities for a recreation area of such importance. They do not seem to have been developed since we last visited more than ten years ago. No covered seating, so useless on wet day, as on our visit. We fled to Costas in the high street. Visitor information facilities rather meagre too. City of London should do better and bring Beeches Cafe up to date.

The last time we visited the cafe the coffee machine was broken, not jacket potatoes and no paninies were available.

Ideal for a great cup of coffee or tea, also jacket potatoes and sandwiches. Ice cold drinks and ice cream also available.

A very short review after a very short visit!

Stopped here for breakfast while out cycyling. We had Pannines and they where very good espicaly the breakfast one. Plenty of seating and there are toilets as well.

Let’s be clear from the start. This is a cafe in the woods. Don’t visit expecting the Ritz or you’ll be disappointed. It’s a load of well used tables and chairs spread around two buildings - one the cafe itself, the other a toilet and information centre. Some shade to sit in if required.

Good food specially cakes and hot chocolate. That’s the best I have ever tested . Nice girls serving . Down side, on rainy days no shade from rain if you have your dogs with you. So a parasol or shade will be welcomed

Really nice Cafe offering a selection of coffees and teas along with food options including several lovely cakes. The staff are very efficient and take no time get your order prepared. The setting is great and allows for easy parking and a nice place to stop whilst walking. The cafe has cover for the rainy days. Highly highly recommend trying their freshly made sandwiches and fresh coffee when visiting. They also have a great ice cream selection for the kids, all priced very reasonably too.

I had just completed a delightful walk through the woods with my delightful dog Susan. He were happy to be greeted by a cafe. I ordered a coffee and a bacon sandwich and was pleased with the politeness of the staff. My sandwich came in around ten minutes and was lovely. I went to use the lavatory to find a very loud snorting noice coming from one of the disabled toilets. My first suspicion was that someone had fallen in the toilet. I opened the unlocked door after knocking to find an extremely sweaty man in a black polo shirt snorting a white substance off of the baby changing table. He had his trousers down to his knees and turned around to ask me how I was enjoying my experience at the cafe. I was in utter shock and despair. This man was actually doing a class A drug off of a baby changing station where metres away children play outside. I walked over to the cafe to ask them to call the police. They replied this is our owner and he does this most days.

After a long day of walking with a group of friends, it was so relieving to see that there was a cafe serving cakes, drinks and sandwiches. However as soon as I got to the till there were three members of staff on and not one of them noticed me and were too busy chatting, facing away. They also seemed to be incredibly underaged but they did take my order eventually and directed me to a table. 3 ham and cheese panini’s eventually came after 20 minutes, in this time I did have to go and ask twice (bearing in mind it was a very quiet day). For this amount of time I would be expecting a delicious dish but it was revolting and overpriced. This place was dirty, stupidly expensive and inattentive. Will not be visiting here again.

Even though we have visited Burnham Beeches in the past it wasn't until this year that we found the café. On a sweltering hot day in June, after a walk around under the shade of the trees we sat, also under the trees, and enjoyed a wonderful bacon sandwich and a cup of tea. The service was relatively quick and friendly.

We both stopped off for pains. They were a long time coming but we'll worth the wait. Really tasty with plenty of filling. We left refuelled ready for another lovely walk in the Beeches.

A nice little area in the Beeches plenty of water bowls for the dogs also the cafe dose a nice cup of coffee and there is toilet facilities

Very friendly service with a good range of food and drink. They even have a vegan cake option (in packet not home made)

I live in Farnham Common and often walk in the Beeches. On Boxing Day my husband, daughter and myself went for a walk in the Beeches. We decided to stop off at the cafe and have their sausage bap. OMG where did they buy their sausages from?! They were the cheapest and worst I have ever tasted. My advice just have a hot drink.

No es muy claro por qué algunos críticos han sido duros en sus comentarios! Al final del día es una cafetería que sirve bebidas calientes, bocadillos y pasteles en Burnham playas, y no un restaurante. Por lo que es y apreciar la comodidad, y no te decepcionará. Tenga en cuenta que todos los asientos al aire libre, así que el tiempo tiene que estar bien para aprovechar.

Visitamos con amigos un par de fines de semana y hace llamado para tomar un chocolate caliente. Había 5 mesas llenas con vajilla utilizada y 3 miembros del personal mandando mensajes detrás del mostrador mostrando poco interés en los clientes. Nos sirve de medio corazón y las tazas estaban sucios.

Crecí aquí como un niño y me encanta la playas. . . Y allí ha sido siempre un café aquí. Este es ahora un área más grande y tiene una parada cuando has estado fuera! !

Hemos visitado muchas veces, dos veces esta semana solo. El servicio es generalmente bien nunca fue gran bt hoy mal. Llegamos al mostrador y nos sirven de inmediato por una chica que parecía indiferente a lo que estaba haciendo y más interesado en el teléfono que tenía que poner para servirnos. Ee ordenados dos sandwiches de bacon y dos cafés. El café se realizó de inmediato y se entregaron junto con un identificador numerado para cuando nuestros sándwiches estaban listos. Esperamos 20 minutos y finalmente fuimos a encontrar donde los bocadillos eran sólo para encontrar que nunca siquiera había comenzado. La chica indiferente no habían aprobado la orden al cocinero. Luego tuvimos que esperar de nuevo mientras que ellos hicieron esta vez nuestro café estaba frío. La razón para esto es simple mala crítica había cuatro personal detrás del mostrador de los cuales eran ninguno especialmente concurrido y les dieron esta simple orden equivocada entonces no hizo ningún intento de apaciguar a nosotros. La mayoría de las mesas estaban llenas de elementos utilizados y no mostraron en clara. Este es un hotel muy bueno después de un agradable paseo, pero el servicio depende del personal de guardia y simplemente no coherente.

Nice little cafe to get lunch, a snack, or a refreshment after the walk through Burnham Beeches. Seating goes fast and it's usually crowded. Lots of families and dogs.

Burnham Beeches is a great park although the managing authority seem to be trying to discourage visitors with ever increasing parking charges and their overly restrictive desire to limit dogs off leads. This cafe straddels the two areas of on and off lead and this division is reflected in it's own space where you have areas where dogs can sit with their owners and some where dogs are not allowed.Overall a good selection of drinks and snacks although I do wonder how much their trade has been hit by the restriction on dog walkers hitting visitor numbers.

We visited Burnham Beeches and stopped at the cafe for coffee and cake before taking a walk.All the food and hot drinks were very reasonably priced and the staff were friendly and helpful.All the seating is outdoors within a fenced area which also include a visitor information centre (very interesting) coupled to a toilet block (fairly clean).Parking is £3for the day.Burnham Beeches is great place and this cafe and it's surrounds fits in nicely.

Great place for a quick snack and a cuppa. Toilets on site. Free parking and nice walks nearby. Can be busy depending on day of week, obviousley busier at weekends. Although Egon Ronay wouldn't visit the place, it's very good value for money.

The staff are friendly, helpful and efficient. The food is average for this type of place. I often drive up to this place for a burger and coffee and just sit people watching. I have been here at all times of the year and the only thing that spoils it is the number of inconsiderate dog owners who allow their animals to bark incessently.

Only had drinks bit plenty of choices on the menu. The food looked nice for a reasonable price. Toilets clean a good little venue after walking the woods

We eat here so often as it is on our doorstep and we walk here regularly. The menu has expanded, and is good honest fare after a long walk in the Beeches great place and run very well

The cafe and car park is a good place to park your car when walking in BB. Parking is £2 a day. Go for a walk and then come back to the cafe for a nice cup of tea and cake. They also do hot food. Didn't try hot food, but looked pretty standard fare of jacket potatoes and such like.

Park in the nearby pay & display car park to start your walk around the picturesque Burnham Beeches, and return to end your visit at the Beeches Cafe. The cafe serves soft drinks, teas, coffees, cakes, as well as a selection of sandwiches and panini. Note all of the seating is outdoor so the weather needs to be dry. The main Burnham Beeches Visitor Centre (unmanned) is next door and worth popping in to pick up a free map.

I am still shocked and upset after my visit to this cafe. My friends and I had just taken part in the 10k at Burnham Beeches. We we all on a high and so proud to have achieved the run. As part of the goodie bag we were given a token for a free tea or coffee in the cafe. One of the ladies in our group isn't able to have caffeine so when it was her turn asked if she could have a herbal tea instead. The female server said yes of course. When she handed over the tea she realised it was a normal tea so turned round and very politely pointed this out and asked the man behind the counter if he could change it, I can only explain his reaction as totally unacceptable .. Out of nowhere a litany of abuse came out of his mouth, he started shouting at her saying "it's tea or coffee, what is wrong with you , it's free get out of my cafe if you don't want it. My friend was so shocked and upset I went up to another server and asked for the rude mans name so that I could make a formal complaint, (all the time we kept our cool and were polite) the unhinged man came steaming over and he started screaming: "why do you want to make a complaint? This is my cafe , get out, you are not normal you people are a joke, it's free what's wrong with you." .. I don't understand his behaviour, his hatred and aggression.Please do not step into this place unless you want to encounter this hideous hideous behaviour.

A smashing "little cabin in the clearing" cafe with good selection of beverages and snacks, also makes a good ice cream.Has outside seating with separate dog area with good car parking (free Mon-Fri) and public toilets attached,Open between 10.00 and 1700 hrsSO walk your dog , kids, selves and then dive into a big stick cake <;-)

We visit this cafe regularly when walking in Burnham Beeches. The paninis are very nice and are served with a nice salad and crisps. There is usually a good choice of cakes too! There is plenty of seating outside if the weather is good but not much shelter if it rains. The staff are pleasant and efficient and it is dog and child friendly.

I love taking cyclists to this hidden treat in the Beeches . So pretty sitting outside, great coffee, cakes , toasted panini , efficient service and toilet facilities and you can keep an eye on your bikes . You also get a loyalty card which is a nice incentive . Well done Beeches Cafe for looking after us so well every time we come. It does get busy at the weekend so don't get there too late in the morning . By the way ..you do not have to cycle there . There is a good size car park just next to the Cafe .

This lovely little cafe is nestled in the beautiful facilities of Burnham Beeches a wonderful range of parks.They offer lovely food and have extremely well organised dog and dog free areas.

Always used this cafe when we lived in area, moved away but revisited for lunch, still good value with food to match, good varied menu with polite and helpfully staff, had the Brie , bacon and cranberry toasted wrap great combination would recommend .

Nice little cafe to stop & have a drink after a walk in the beeches. Tea was £1- can't beat it! Also had children's drinks.

My stop off on regular dog walks at Burnham Beeches, they serve the best hot chocolate I've ever had. The service is friendly and efficient, the place is spotless and the prices very reasonable. Hot food is prepared to order. They also serve sandwiches and sausage rolls, etc., and have a range of cakes and traybakes. In summer their homemade ice cream in a cone knocks a '99 into a cocked hat.

Well run, really clean, decent selection of reasonably priced f&b - try the freshly made bacon sarnies, wow! A great place to pop into after a walk in the 'Burnham Beeches'.

Plenty of seating with secluded area . Dedicated area for those with dogs. Food choices are not bad for a small cafe. Very nice staff

Love this cafe. Just completed our regular 5 mile walk taking in the fields and woods up to Littlewotth common and back and its always great to finish up here for a hot/cold drink and a sandwich or cake. Excellent value for money at this outdoor cafe with really friendly service. Any time of year the walks are stunning through the woods, and a wonderful chill out place.

I've lived in the Farnham Common/Burnham Beeches area for the last 15 years or so. Over the last few years, I've been popping into The Beeches Cafe on a relatively regular basis.During the summer, what a beautiful setting to enjoy a gorgeous ice cream, or in the winter, a lovely warm cup of the best hot chocolate around (top tip: you must have the hot chocolate with all the trimmings) and fresh hot paninis - no better way to spend a rather relaxed afternoon in my opinion.Very dog friendly (should be with all the gorgeous places to walk in the Beeches), but also has an area where dogs aren't allowed just in case you're not such a fan.The staff are lovely - really helpful and can't do too much. The prices are, well, very reasonable in my opinion considering the surroundings and the quality of the food/drink on offer.In short - definitely worth a trip!

This cafe situated in the the historic woods in Burnham Beeches is a fantastic find . The food is first class, the service friendly and slick and to add it all great value . If youu are visiting the woods as I do with our dog this cafe is a must !!
