The Food Gallery in Wiltshire

A lovely cosy welcoming cafe for a coffee on a rainy day. We found the staff friendly, helpful and happy. A great welcome to Marlborough.

Average place ...we had a pot of tea and a brownie...

My husband’s full English breakfast looked great although the bacon did seem a bit on the overdone side. I had the eggs Benedict which was lovely. The coffee was delicious too. Nice friendly dining area, staff very welcoming and very reasonably priced. We’ll definitely return.

Pleasant coffee shop in busy market town with plenty of competition.

We ride to this cafe from Swindon, and they are always so helpful. The food is amazing and done to order, and we like the fact that they do a top-up for a £1. It's a lovely family run cafe too.

I excellent cafe with very reasonable prices and service 10/10 highly recommended

I've had some lovely food here and fabulous coffee over the years but sadly this breakfast missed the mark. We both had the full English breakfast. The sausages were excellent, but the bacon was over done, and there were no mushrooms or black pudding. My friend had two fried eggs which were stacked on top of each other and over two slices of toast also stacked on top of each other with very little space on the plate to eat from. We asked for tomato sauce and were served a tiny portion (for two) of a tart, brown-coloured sauce that the waitress confirmed was tomato sauce.

Lovely friendly coffee shop, serving great coffee and food. Can get busy!

Nice little coffee shop but little restricted on food options and didn't serve chips as extra and the panini and no crisps either. Which for a sit in meal was surprising. The price was OK for a basic panini. The white hot chocolate I recommend but again a small cup and needed another drink within first 10 mins.

Really lovely little cafe with a warm, friendly atmosphere. Made to feel very welcome and will definitely come back next time we're in Marlborough. Perfect coffee and panni.

I support independent establishments…. But sadly after three visits here it’s decided we won’t be revisiting. Our experience was not great. Cold eating area, I had my coat on my lap to warm my legs. Thick dust on the display of photographs for sale. My partners coffee was lukewarm on arrival. His breakfast-poached eggs with toast, paid extra for sausage and beans at £2 a pop each. The sausage was just about lukewarm, his beans were not. They were cold. £2, for a small ramekin of cold baked beans will never encourage a re visit. I had eggs royale, which came without the most important part….. it had no salmon. I went to the counter and this was rectified. But it shouldn’t have to be eh? It ought be there when it leaves the kitchen. My partner didn’t want to complain about his cold breakfast, as he stated, If you have to tell them they’re serving cold food, they really don’t care too much about what they bring out…. We just won’t come back again. So that’s it’s done for us here I’m afraid.

Stumbled on this welcoming cafe at the end of the high street. Excellent service, delicious salad for lunch Totally delightful 🤩

Full English breakfast. £13 for almost nothing! Much better food and prices almost anywhere else. Bacon with breakfast hard as nails . Not just well done, completely hard, like eating gravel!

Stopped for coffee/tea and cake. Lovely Victoria Sponge cake.

Very nice place and lovely afternoon time with family. Great coffee and delicious scones. Delicious paninis, tasty smoothies, smiling and friendly service.

This is an exceptional cafe on Marlborough high street. It is an oasis for lunch during Summer School. The choice of freshly made sandwiches and coffees is excellent and the only decision is what to choose from the wide array. I’ve come here was 5 consecutive lunches every week for the last 8 years. The quality of the food and the prompt service even on a busy lunchtime makes the Food Gallery for No 1 choice. Well done, and I look forward to coming back next year 😀

Liked: Charming venue, pleasant and efficient staff, nice location Not so much: The English Breakfast I ordered was over-priced for what it was. £12.50 (or thereabouts) for a small plate of toast, a tiny ramakin of baked beans, some thin strips of crispy bacon, three quarters of a length of sausage (odd) and some cherry tomatoes. All entirely over-cooked. It took ages to arrive so my theory is that "service" was called by the chef and then it was forgotten. Hence the cold eggs with solid yokes. I might have caught them on a bad day, but given their pricing and the amount of options elsewhere in Marlborough, I won't be risking a second chance.

Food is ok. Service extremely slow.

Nice coffee shop on the main street in Marlborough with very nice cakes.

We visited for a full English breakfast having stayed nearby. Great service, promptly served breakfast which was really tasty and hot coffee made to order.

We'd give it 6 stars if we could. Amazing service, food was perfect, couldn't fault it.

If I'm in Marlborough I go here. The coffee is Fab 👌. Better than all the other high street outlets. There is a great menu, I go for the Salmon, scrambled egg on sour dough, it's divine. Richard and his team run a bustling, atmospheric place for those who know.

Wonderful staff and great food. Prime location. Our go-to cafe in Marlborough.

Quaint little cafe. There was no cream cheese to go with my smoked salmon sandwich . The baked potato was advertised as having a side salad accompaniment but I think my definition of a salad was a little more than a few green leaves. Nevertheless it all tasted good. Hint: look at the establishment rating on "Scores on the doors"

Only stopped for a quick lunch. But beware! If you order Croque Monsieur, you just get a ham and cheese toasties with a hint of dijon... No bechemel or dipped in egg in sight! Can't complain otherwise, free water, nothing to complain about for service.

Nice breakfast with the lads on the Motorbikes

As weary travellers, we made the mistake of rocking up here just before closing time - I say mistake because I wish we'd arrived a lot earlier because it seems a wonderful place, we were made very welcome, even as they were trying to clean the place before they put up the shutters! We only had time for a cuppa and a cake, but that was most excellent, a damn good pot of tea and scrumptious cakes, I envy the locals for having a place like this in town, I'd be in there every day!! We will be going back, OK, it's a fair distance from where we live, but Marlborough itself has much to offer, so it is worthy of a visit, which we will be doing!!

Great popular little sandwich shop. They taste phenomenal and is worth a stop if in Marlborough. I particularly like their prawn and lemon mayonnaise option.

Wonderful breakfast on a Sunday morning. Rich is exceptional, great customer service from him and the team.

Visited 25/03/23, midday. Just before the busy lunch period. We ordered full English & eggs benedict on sourdough. Both nicely presented and tasty. Good menu, jacket potatoes, panini, sandwiches too, and cakes. Nice ambiance, friendly staff. Only suggestion is offering a larger option on the coffee size, they only do a small one which is very nice but would like a larger option. Recommended, would come again.

Never had a bad experience. Excellent food and service. Great hot chilli chocolate

The Food Gallery has always been great and had quite a buzz but it went through a period of seeming rather unwelcoming (staff at fault - not greeting or thanking for custom etc). However, this is no longer remotely the case! I have been so warmly welcomed - every visit - and thanked for my custom as I leave. Fab team. Excellent food. Great atmosphere. So pleased .....

Had a breakfast roll was very good

Had a really great breakfast here. The place is well kept and has a lovely atmosphere for families, hillwalkers, and more. Their own roasted coffee is very good for the price and the £1 refills are a nice touch. For breakfast I had the eggs royale. Whilst I think the muffin could have been toasted for longer and the eggs were a little over done for my liking it was a solid meal on the whole. Would recommend 🙂

I have allways been made to feel welcome here. Best coffee in town I would say. Great Staff and management. Nothing seems any trouble. My regular coffee hole now. 😋

I think these guys are the happiest people in the world 😅 Visited The Food Gallery today having been drenched on the rugby pitch and the staff were all so chirpy and friendly it cheered us right up, even more than the hot chocolate! I don't think I've ever seen such a substantial menu and our breakfast was fantastic 😋 So thank you very much, highly recommended and will definitely return when back in Marlborough!

Great cafe at the bottom of the high street easily missed but great place for dine in or takeaway

Good coffee, very tasty Benedict..... OUTSTANDING FUDGE BROWNIE !!!!

Great, friendly, efficient service. Richard, Kat and the team do a great job!

This place is closed and no longer trades.

Great food great service,only minus one star for dirty customer toilet!

Generally good, doesn't take cash which means I won't be visiting again

First time visiting Marlborough and this lovely cafe. Delicious piping hot panini and a very decent pot of tea. Good service. We made a wise choice. Thank you

Lovely food,great coffee,friendly and professional staff. I love avocado on toast and poached eggs,so tasty!! Many thanks for being awesome!

Great quality food, friendly owner and one of the best spots in town for breakfast or lunch.

Very welcoming friendly staff! Food is comforting

A huge thank you to the team at The Food Gallery. They very kindly made coffee's and a tea for us as we were stranded for some time in Malborough. I had no money at the time to pay for the drinks, very generously they said the drinks were 'on the house' Can't thank you enough for the gesture that meant a great deal to us all. Will definitely see you again and as a paying customer : ) Lou x

My favourite place to eat in Marlborough. Does get very busy lunchtime. Staff seemed under pressure & I was warned my croque madam would take 1/2 hr. In the event it arrived within 10 mins although I noticed several groups leave without ordering.

excellent coffee - including Coffee Lungo ( like a New Zealand Long Black) fast service - eat in or takeaway. well staffed. not large, but well worth searching out

Fantastic place. I visited for the first time today as I am gluten free and was starting to run out of places to eat. I had been told that this place was great for those sort of things and they were not wrong. From the moment I walked in I was made welcome and I ordered the mango frappe which was delightful and the gluten free brownie was one of the best brownies I have ever had. Will definitely return.

Great selection of food and snacks, with generous helpings and well presented, at a very reasonable price. Very friendly staff too. Well worth a visit

Great breakfast and Great coffee.very quick with the food.staff friendly and helpful.worth a visit.

This is one of my favourite place for breakfast. Nice service, dishes always perfectly cooked and presented. I love the menu but I highly recommend Eggs Royal! I've been there many times and Eggs Royal are always a winning bet. I'm not a good coffee drinker but my wife loves their coffee. I love the fresh orange juice.

We had the pleasure of visiting The Food Gallery this morning for breakfast and coffee The 3 of us had 3 different things from the extensive menu All 3 dishes were excellent and served with a smile A special thanks to waitress Emily and Leonie Best coffee in Marlborough

Lovely café to come and eat and drink at at the heart of Marlborough. I had a Somerset Brie and chilli jam panini and it was lovely. Also had a white hot chocolate which I think is quite hard to find, so that ticks a box for me. Nice place to chill out and people watch. Hands down recommend.

Hmm ... Went on Sunday pm. Location fine on main street Staff friendly, but very overworked Food ok ... Hummus panini was "ok", but lacking in any punch. It'd been through a toastie iron, so the raw peppers inside it were mouth burningly hot 🔥 Would I go again ... Unlikely

I have been coming almost every week for a long time. The food is decent; today (21st May) one of the waitresses was extremely rude - made us feel like second-class citizens. (I am brown, my friend is Ukranian). The service has always been lovely but today I truly felt humiliated. The waitress is blonde (I asked her for her name but she didn’t tell me). She told us to ‘move out of her way’ and stand on the side while we waited to order in an immensely derogatory manner. I have always loved the atmosphere but today, I am hurt and disappointed. I feel humiliated to another level!

I visited the Food Gallery today & was very impressed. It is lovely inside & the tables are nicely spread out. The service was prompt. The coffee & cake are lovely & reasonably priced. I didn't have lunch but there is a massive range of fillings, so I will definitely go back to try the sandwiches.

Fantastic sandwiches. Well filled and tasty. Good coffee too! Quaint but a too shabby chic! However, the important thing in a coffee / lunch shop is good food and coffee. This does that, with tasty sandwiches. Chocolate tiffins are good as well.

This was the best breakfast in town. FOOD AND STAFF ARE GREAT. Really recommend. They have plus one that is the second coffee you buy it only cost you £1.

My son, 16, and I were riding King Alfred's Way and needed sustenance for the afternoon. He ordered a panini with chicken, mozz and pesto to eat in the shop and a BLT for the road. I ordered the turkey and stuffing for sit-down and the ABC (avocado, bacon + chicken) for our next stop at Uffingdon's White Horse. We were very delighted with each choice, especially so the ABC. (He ate more than half of it!) We live in London and my boy has already investigated how long it might take him to enjoy another Food Gallery sandwich--2.5 hours--and he just might make good on the scheme. Thank you for yummy grub served with smiles.

What a nice friendly place, greeted with a welcome, a smile and some conversation. Only had tea but the croissants and breakfast smelled good.

I never saw such a dirty tea pod and tea cups.

Came in last week for lunch and was so impressed we went back again today!! It was a very busy lunchtime but staff were friendly, polite and helpful and service was quick. The menu has a good selection of food and drinks and is reasonably priced. My husband and I each ordered a panini and coffee. The food came with salad and crisps, good portion size and was well made and very tasty and the £1 coffee refills were good value. We took a slice of tiffin home for later to share and wished we’d bought two slices!! Will definitely be going back and will certainly recommend to friends.

amazingly diverse menu for being a little place ! Everything was delicious and particularly enjoyed the fresh greens which came on the side of many dishes!

Been coming here for years. It serves the best coffee in Marlborough. Owner always remembers how I like my coffee. The cakes and biscuits are fab too

Having ordered our food we waited, and waited. 25 minutes, 30 minutes went by, only to be told on politely asking if there was a delay that we'd been told that on ordering: we hadn't of course, and wouldn't have kept on asking if we...

Such a warm friendly welcome. This is a clean well run establishment and the food was great. I Highly recommend this one

Have been coming here for many years now and in spite of trying most of the many cafes in Marlborough the Food Gallery is still our favourite-best selection and value for money. Only disappointment, what has hap pened to the Millionaire's Shortbread, used to be...

We popped in to this coffee shop this morning for a coffee and cake. Ended up having delicious paninis with crisps and salad ( which had a beautiful dressing on) followed by an enormous piece of homemade Victoria sponge with blackcurrant jam, it was one...

Went to dine 🍽 in this morning greeted with a warm welcome at the door everyone said hello and made me feel at home ordered the fruit platter and green tea then went to sit in my favourite corner at the back the food was well presented and delicious on the plate and everything tasted fresh and healthy the staff very efficient and the friendly always very attentive when I went to leave to go home as on all visits I always take a cake home with me for later and this time I bought a slice of the gooseberry and elderflower victoria sponge cake and had some when i got home 🏡 and it's Fantastic very delicious the sponge very light and will buy it again always a joy to visit a well presented and fantastic coffee shop run by professional/fantastic owners and their work colleagues who are great 👍 too The menu is so fantastic good variety of choices and good choice of drinks Also the best coffee shop in the town that offers more than just sandwiches You offer more choices and better quality of service and food than the other coffee shops do which is good as you cook and make everything fresh to order compared to other places that don't Keep up the good work Don't change the menu as its perfect as it is Well done for being the best and the service and hospitality you provide and the excellent quality of food you deserve the 5☆ review See you next time and all the times after that I'm proud to be a customer for the food gallery

Always good and glad to see back open after refurbishment.Staff always polite and friendly but one of the young ladies needs to learn to smile.....she does now,she's happy and pleased to see you

My family and I decided to go for lunch at the Food Gallery today, which in hindsight was an utter mistake. The cafe was incredibly busy as well as crowded and it took a very long time to order food. It was an incredibly unappetising...

Best place to get a quick lunch in Marlborough

We've always enjoyed the Food Gallery - food/service/atmosphere - so recommended it to a friend from another town. He visited and said 'never again' because the man who served him was so 'unfriendly.' Myself and my husband then re-visited separately and had similar experiences -...

Friendly and tasty town centre cafe restaurant with a Grand menu that doesn't break the bank. We'll worth a visit if you're passing by.

Lovely place to have a cuppa and some lovely food with real friendly staff and good atmosphere highly recommended for a catch up with friends 😁😁🥇🥇

Excellent! Well organised and great choice for lunch. Thoroughly recommend.

Great place, perfect eggs...great staff..

Great coffee,friendly staff, and great eggs benedict.

Waiting outside in the queue along with everyone else, stood in the doorway as we were next to order, where we were shouted at to WAIT OUTSIDE. Slightly awkward as the gent in front had finished ordering. Brownie was as thin/small as the staffs manors....

Coffee not hot enough though polite staff replaced it. Terrible toasted tea cake. Decor very tired. Waste of a rare opportunity to treat my mother.

Very fresh salad with lovely dressing served promptly for lunch

Kat, Rich and the team give a great welcome and a fantastic coffee. Definitely worth a visit.

Always good here...will always recommend to my friends...great coffee, cakes & hot chocolate

Best place in Marlborough for sandwiches, lunch, coffees, snacks. Personable staff, always a warm welcome

Lovely brownie and coffee!! Great service too

I don't like giving negative reviews but if I could give this place no stars I would. I had a blt panini. The bacon had been pre-cooked and was cold and flabby like pieces of rubber. The lettuce was a soggy green pulp. The bread was like two pieces of cardboard. The cucumber in the accompanying salad looked as if it had been prepared hours beforehand. The whole was warm on the outside and cold inside. Totally inedible. My partner had avocado on toast which consisted of unseasoned mashed avocado on soggy toast with hardly any butter.The coffee was very ordinary. Cost nearly £18!!! This is the kind of Cafe that makes it so easy for Starbucks etc In response to the owner's reply:- 1. I did not complain or ask for a refund because I did not want a confrontation 2.i certainly did not say thank you as leaving and I was not all smiles. On the contrary I simply walked out without speaking to anyone ( which makes me very rude I know) 3. My negative review is intended to help prospective customers to avoid a similar experience. Hopefully you will take my comments on board and improve your business

Staff all appear depressed and fed up only one smiling person was pregnant food was OK coffee warm and bitter

I regularly visit the Food Gallery for takeaway coffee, lunch with friends and occasionally brunch. The hot drinks are excellent and I would highly recommend the brie and chilli jam sandwich as well as the chocolate tiffin! The staff are friendly and were very accommodating...

Nice cozy place. I had a good time with tasty scone and mocha!

Food ok but definitely not disabled friendly or aware

Had a lovely take away lunch here, friendly quick service despite it being a very busy time. Tasty sandwiches with home made gluten free bread - a real bonus. All very reasonably priced. The coffee here is excellent and their gluten free brownie is well...

Lovely coffee (flat white) and cake, however, the service was hit and miss. My partner's tea and our cakes arrived and then several minutes later the waitress appeared to ask if I'd had my coffee yet - clearly I hadn't as it wasn't on the table!!! Some 5 mins later it appeared. Tasty but late.

Wonderful staff, absolutely delicious coffee and food, lovely comfortable seating area inside. Eggs benedict, recommended with the crispy bacon!

Service was brusque which is not necessarily a bad thing, food was average (panini fillings were rather dry but there was a large, if basic salad). One of the staff chose to spend their lunch break sitting with a customer at a nearby table talking...

Great place for breakfast. Staff friendly + polite. Highly recommended.

Absolutely fantastic, amazing coffee, great food

Bought a coffee and chunk of cake here today. Very Covid friendly. Cake in particular was wonderful.
