The Clawson Kitchen in Melton

Food was below average quality ) bacon cob and millionaires slice) just lacking in taste and although a large bap there was very little bacon inside. Coffee ok but prices are outrageous and leave you feeling robbed. I won’t be going back.

Came upon this wonderful cafe on a beautifully sunny Monday afternoon. We had been on a walk from Hickling via Hose. We’d run out of water and were gasping for a drink. The pub we passed was closed, so we were so pleased to see the cafe was still open. Lovely service on arrival and we ordered drinks and cakes to eat in the advertised garden out the back. Despite it being almost closing time we were not rushed and spent a lovely time in the sun-trap of a garden. Fabulous selection of cakes and drinks here. My wheat free nut and seed cake was so moist and delicious. Feeling refreshed we went to purchase some bottled water for our journey ahead and the wonderful lady behind the counter offered to fill our water bottles for free with water from the fridge. A very kind gesture. Would highly recommend this place and would definitely visit again when in the area.

Nice homely atmosphere. Good choice of food. Generous portions. Friendly staff. Very buzzy. Loved the homemade quiche.

Long Clawson Kitchen Cafe. 1. Real sausages but very small. 2. Only one egg. 3. Cheap beans. 4. Very expensive. 5. Full English breakfast cost £9 each. 6. Small mug of coffee £3 each. I can't recommend this.

Dropped in for a coffee. Ended up with a light and tasty Stilton & Pear quiche! My wife could not resist the huge fruit scone & Jam so we never did get home for lunch! Lovely friendly service, dog friendly ( yes the resident dog is very friendly) and tasty morsels ready to tempt you either eat in or take away. The Cobs looked huge at a neighbouring table. All fresh and with good coffee a surprisingly pleasant way to while away a Sunday lunchtime.

Has the full English, WOW! Great tasting food and lovely service. The sausages and Bacon a particular highlight. Will be visiting again.

After driving around the beautiful Vale of Belvior we stumbled on this lovely little cafe. Delicious coffee & scones as well as a really good menu to browse. Services was really friendly too. Recommended.

So disappointed and very surprised at the lack of interest in response to review earlier. Very bad practice. We were back again recently and sadly nothing changed.

This was our most favourite place ever. John, Belinda Mark and Pauline worked hard to build this into the outstanding reputable business it became. It was the beating heart of the village and surrounding villages all through covid. Very popular with cyclists and very community minded. No matter how difficult it was you were always met with a smile, a chat a warm welcome and good food it never wavered. Nothing and I mean nothing was ever too much trouble. The ultimate professionals. Unfortunately they decided to retire in June and sold the business. All that has changed now with the new owner. She is rude, and arrogant it has no atmosphere, the food is awful, portion sizes are miniscule, expensive and fairly tasteless. When we last visited we arrived long before the kitchen closed, we waited 20 minutes for someone to take our order. In the end my husband went to the counter and ordered coffee but whe he tried to order food he was unpleasantly told "Kitchen closes at 2" when he complained because we had arrived at 1.30pm and hadn't been served she was extremely rude. He paid for the coffee we ordered and we walked out. I told her we would never set foot in the place again. We will not !!!!! If she wants to keep her business she needs to improve on the way she treats her customers. 🥲 I spent 20 years in managung Conferencing and catering if I had behaved like that I would have been sacked!!!

Visited for breakfast and can only say we were beyond disappointed… (the young girls working in there were lovely! So that part was good!) We ordered the larger breakfast which was £9 each when we received the food it was no bigger than a child’s portion, there was easily a tea spoon of beans and a tea spoon of tomatoes on the plate… I dread to think how many you would get on the smaller breakfast… oh and the bacon was completely over cooked. If this is all the breakfast is £9 is too much to ask.. This was the first time we have visited and safe to say we won’t be returning which is a shame because we usually love village cafes/restaurants, I hope this will be assessed and some good changes can be made so others don’t have a similar experience.

The family are regular visitors here. We weren't so sure as it had changed hands when we went this time. The menu remained the same but no pork pies or sausage rolls. A good choice of cakes. The food was good but the portions were smaller particularly the side salads and no dressing. The staff were friendly and food arrived quickly. Early days yet but on the whole very good.

This Coffee Shop in the heart of the Vale of Belvoir offers everything from Full English Breakfast to Coffee and cake, with everything else in between including thr original Baileys Pork Pies made to their original recipes. It offers a takeaway service too. Always assured of a warm welcome quality food and friendly service. Also popular with cyclists.

Went today for a coffee tea run, £16 for 4 coffee and 3 teass take away, coffee was cold and weak actually like water ,long wait for them ,I was the only one in the queue,, I found the man in there very unwelcoming, actually a bit rude. 3 weeks ago I brought a homemade pork pie for about £8 , It was tasteless and nothing special, used to be a great place to go, but seems to have lost its way. I have no problem paying a bit extra if it's quality and nice but it's just all that right now x

Absolutely outstanding place. Excellent food. Excellent menu. Takeaway available too. Friendly staff. Can't fault it. A very popular place including with cyclist.

I stopped for a takeaway. The brown tuna roll with salad was really tasty and fresh. Millionaire shortbread great and the coffee was far better than Costa at half the price. Will call again. 10out of 10
