The Front Parlour in Sedgemoor

Lovely welcome and lovely food. The menu offered variety, the staff were very warm and attentive and the ambience was homely. The portions and quality of the food were good and the coleslaw was the best ever! Would thoroughly recommend.

What a find! Fantastic staff. Nice ambiance and very good value, well presented food. We all had different and we’re all impressed! Service was great!

This was our first time at the Front Parlour and clearly this is a popular little place. However, the customer service experienced was beyond appalling! We decided to visit the tea room to simply have a drink and a slice of cake, whilst enjoying a bit of a rest. We arrived just as they were opening and there was already a substantial queue. The venue had plenty of signs stating that Sunday roasts are served and there is no need to book. Additionally, there is plenty of seating for around 60 guests. We found a table and then I joined the queue to place an order, which took approx. 20 minutes owing to the number of large groups ordering lunch. I noted a comment made to one customer that £50 notes are not accepted (and there is a sign stating this), however, the tone in which the server/owner approached this made even me feel uncomfortable! When it was time to place my order, I asked for a pot of tea for one, a latte, and a slice of cake. This was met with the server asking if I was ordering a roast dinner. I replied no, and she immediately looked frustrated as she scribbled away and looked down.... almost like rolling her eyes at me. The drinks came promptly, and was served by a very polite young lady. At no point during our visit did we have any issue with the waitress. A short time later, the server/owner came up to clear our table by asking if we were done. My partner replied by saying we had finished with the plate but she still had tea to drink. The server then rudely stated that she needed the table for roast dinners, and walked away. Other customers then looked over at our table as this drew attention. Approximately 10 minutes later, the server/owner came back to the table and said she was sorry, but would need us to leave as she needs the table for roast dinners and not just people wanting tea and sat chatting! She also, very rudely said that we had been there for about 45 minutes and quite frankly that is more than enough time! Again, this drew attention from other tables! We finished up and left, noting at least 4 other tables that were free or awaiting to be cleaned, and empty tables outside. This was meant to be a nice little break with a drink, and we were made to feel like youths causing anti-social behaviour! The server (who I believe to be the owner) was, quite frankly, rude with zero customer service and people skills! Nowhere prior to entry could we see any information stating customers wanting a roast dinner only were welcome. If this is the case, tables should be reserved to make it clear! This is a tea room and we simply wanted a drink and a rest. The whole experience left us both feeling uncomfortable by the way we treated; spoken to; and the attention is created by the server/owner! I have never been one for confrontation and not once did we bite back at this lady, who immediately walked away after laying down the law to us! I am all for fairness when writing reviews and so this is my honest review. Sadly, the only positive comment I can leave is regarding the polite young waitress who brought our drinks. I am sure this venue has its fair share of loyal customers; however, this is one place that will not receive our custom again. I would also very strongly not recommend this establishment to anybody, either local or visiting. There is a much more friendly tea shop near the amusements. I recommend that you avoid this tea shop at all costs.

Staff are friendly,nice place,decent sized portions and ,clean those are the positives. The food was just average frozen roast potatoes,frozen Yorkshire puddings,frozen sprouts ,and the beef was just ok definitely wasn't worth the £11.80 probably wouldn't have a roast dinner here again

A lovely, quaint café/restaurant right on the seafront. Friendly and helpful service, generous portions and tasty food.

This café strictly adheres to Covid19 guidelines and reminds any customers who forgot their responsibilities. We felt safe inside the café and the staff were very helpful and caring. Tea and coffee in this location is a joy after a long walk along the sea front it was most welcome.

We were in Burnham for a day and were looking for a light lunch. We went to the Front Parlour and the lady waiting on the tables was extremely helpful. We said we only wanted a toasted sandwich and although they were only serving roast dinners as it was a Sunday ( they looked lovely but the way) the waitress said she would see if they could do it. Sure enough the answer was yes and a little while later 2 toasted ham and cheese sandwiches well cooked appeared with a salad side and crisps. All in all a pleasant experience with nice staff, a true treasure highly recommend.

Stopped by in a blustery afternoon for a tea time snack ....... , and we would have liked to have stayed longer perhaps for something more substantial , but we were there just before closing time . I will return ....highly recommended.

I just came across The Front Parlour by accident. What a find! Tea was served in a china cup and the ham sandwich was accompanied by a small salad and crisps all served on the lower tier of the plate. The upper tier contained a scrumptious scone with clotted cream and a fresh strawberry. To complete the feast there was a generous slice of sponge cake. I was transported back to an earlier era of visits to the seaside. The young waitress was cheerful and obliging. Thanks very much.

Really disappointing Sunday lunch all the veg was cold including the cauliflower cheese such a shame.

Lovely surroundings and very pleasant staff. Had Sunday lunch. Very disapponting. Frozen sprouts (cos obviously not in season, so don't serve them!) Frozen roasties too. No boiled or mashed potatoes. Most certainly not worth the £9.00 for each meal. £5.00 would have been a more realistic price. Beef was nice though

Friendly service, lovely food and great home made cakes & deserts. We all had the roast beef Sunday meal. The jam roly poly was huge and delicious, the scones were fantastic and the homemade lemon cheesecake .... couldn’t fault any of it. Would recommend this cafe. Very good value for money too.

We normally steer clear of seaside cafes as a good number of them are greasy spoon type places but after peering through the window and seeing diners seemingly enjoying their lunches we decided to try it. We were not disappointed. In fact we were delighted with our Sunday roasts. The lady in charge was very pleasant, the café had an old world atmosphere, the music was in keeping with the décor and the roast beef was excellent. This was followed by home made sweets and a bill much less than we would have paid in a pub owned by a chain. Next time we are in Burnham we shall certainly return.

lacks in character it makes up for with mediocre coffee??Well, it is a place that seems to have character, it isn't too bad, old-fashioned and like visiting a cannel boat, and the coffee in its americano or expresso form is like boiled shoes. It lacks variety, but the menu has a few things you might like.

The only downside to The Front Parlour is that it is not open in the winter, so it's open April to the very end of September only.What's good? Well, where do we start? Easy access either the beach, or from parking on the seafront, down a side street, or a 100m walk from the main carpark. A small frontage with outside tables reveals a two-storey tardis-like interior, with well-spaced tables in a light, bright and quirky interior. Think modern Victorian library, and if you book ask for a sea view table.A senior pair of staff drill and manage an enthusiastic and efficient young local friendly team. The wide selection of food is well priced, of good quality, prepared well and cooked to a good standard, which is far better on all levels than many other local establishments. Portions are generous, but beware if you fill-up too much on a main course, you will miss out on the delight of a genuine homemade and coming back for more desert. So forget the waistline, just taste the quality, and if you think it will be too much then choose a child's-portion main.A Sunday lunch for two - child's sized mains, a desert each, and two cups of coffee each - came on each of our numerous visits to between £30 and a maximum of £35. In other seaside resorts that could easily be £50, for something of far less quality.Fun, enjoyable and good quality in a quirky, light and homely space, with service. Well worth a visit, we never regret a meal - it's just that it's not open in winter.

Excellent dining and friendly, shame it isn't open all year around. One of the best cafes in the Burnham area.....

Had a lovely meal there today. I had cheeseburger my mother had roast beef dinner. Everyone who works there are very nice and courteous. Would definitely go back if I'm in the area again.

We were on a day trip from Cotswold to English Channel in the south and stumbled upon this place via a Google maps search for places serving cream tea. An awesome find!! This charming restaurant was super friendly, served a great cream tea, and by the looks of what others were ordering...had a great menu for lunch! We found parking along the Esplanade, not too far away. And because it was a bright sunny day, sat out on their front porch and enjoyed the beach view! A great place and I hope we can return soon!

Best place for a tasty homemade Sunday lunch was really lovely very good value for money clean tidy good service so good we ate here twice and both meals were fabulous

Having family in Weston Super Mare, we stay in Burnham on Sea every couple of years. Every time we go we always go to this restaurant. Lovely food although the hubby was disappointed that fish and chips was no longer on the menu. Very friendly staff. A little gem of a place.

After searching for places to eat after an afternoon in Burnham we decided upon The Front Parlour and were not disappointed. Our meals were delicious with generous portions and we were pleased to be served vegetables. The waitress was charming, very efficient, friendly and helpful. We will certainly return there when in the area.

Popped in on way to brean, place was gorgeous inside, service was great, lovely staff, food was delicious. They even turned the corners on their toilet rolls, I’m very fussy when it comes to eating out! But would deffo visit this place again if in that neck of the woods again!

Popped in for an evening tea. Great food served by impeccable staff member. Will come again when down this way.

My daughter in law wanted to treat me to afternoon tea. We had done it on her last visit and went to the pier at Weston.

Visited on early May bank holiday for dinner. We sat outside, moved tables out of the shade as it got chilly, its a small but pleasant outside seating area. We had to walk to a cash point as this venue only accept cash. We had ‘roast beef’ which was disappointing as it tasted like microwave braised beef ready meals.

Ordered a meal and dessert here. Lovely service. Food was tasty and great value. Nice setting just over the road from the beach.

Had a nice lunch here except they left off the coleslaw and the side salad was boring old iceberg lettuce. I told the guy serving that there was no coleslaw and could the price be adjusted accordingly as some of what I was paying for wasn't there and he refused. Not very fair.

We found this little gem and when upstairs for tea. It is only small but we were lucky enough to get the table in the window. The service was good, the loose leaf tea in nice teapots and pretty cups and saucers. We all chose teacakes which came nice and quickly.

The location of the place is nice as it is near the seafront. The staff were really friendly and the service was brilliant. I would recommend this place to family and friends. The menu is sensibly priced and the food is brilliant.

We called in at Burnham on our way home from a few days in Devon. To be honest we wondered why after arriving as a bit run down but after a walk along the sea front we called in at The Front Parlour and so glad we did! The welcome was very warm and the service was too. We only had coffee but it was the best we'd had all week and when seeing the food come out wished we had more time to stay for lunch. Go upstairs to sit as the view overlooking the sea is lovely , if for whatever reason we are in the area I will definitely pop back as the lady who runs this little gem of a parlour is worth going to see.

Wandering around Burnham on a Sunday afternoon we stumbled across The Front Parlour. My wife is Vegan and although there was nothing specific available on the menu they were very helpful in a bit of mix and match to accommodate her diet. I had no problems at all and enjoyed Roast Beef and Yorkshire Pudding.

We have been coming here since we visited Brean in 1997, and regularly since then, as regulars to Burnham on Sea. The Sunday roasts are good too, sometimes we have a depending if we're too full up from dinner, but have tried the lovely Victoria sponge on the odd occasion. We like to sit outside weather permitting and observe the views of the beach opposite. We will be back soon for more☺

Loved this little place. Cream teas are lovely with a delicate Bone china tea cup. Our granddaughter age 10 loved it too. Top marks!

Had cream tea here - lovely clean place and cute and at a good value. 0n sea front . Helpful staff. Would recommend for all food

My father in law always raves about this place so we thought we'd try it out, and we're not disappointed! Made to feel very welcome despite it being near closing time. Good choice on the menu and reasonable prices too. Would definitely visit again.

We needed somewhere to stop on our way to a our holiday cottage and searched on Trip Advisor for a suggestion. This came up as favourite and it didn't fail to please. Slightly dated décor but clean and the staff were friendly. Basic menu and they had what appeared to be a daily offer on a blackboard outside. We chose the daily offer and it was lovely, well cooked and tasty. Good food at a good price. Would definitely recommend.

Tried this place on the off chance and pleasantly surprised!!

Después de un terrible viaje que encontramos esta pequeña joya en el mar. Como teníamos hambre no quiere buscar más. Arriba está un pequeño comedor con un toque encantador de binoculares en la ventana para mirar la vista. De todos modos, pedimos nuestra comida sin darse cuenta cerrada en 10 minutos. - 7:00 pm. Nos hubiera encantado no molestias al personal, pero estaban dispuestos a hacer una comida de carne asada para mí y un encantador plowman ensalada para mi marido. Era precioso y era justo lo que necesitábamos. La camarera era joven encantador y amable y estuvimos muy triste que nuestra orden tarde le hizo perder su ascensor en casa. Espero que fue capaz de conseguir un taxi o el autobús con su propina. Definitivamente no me pasa ya que es una joya. Las tartas de aspecto encantador.

Muy buena comida y excelente café magnífico servicio altamente Burnham en el secreto mejor guardado de mar'.

Chanced upon this place by accident. Really welcoming with very good food and lovely staff. Prices reasonable too.The homemade Upside down pineapple sponge pudding was perfect. The chef even took the time to tell me how to make it

Happend apon this little cafe over looking the sea front. According to information inside it has been here over 20 years. I don't think it's been redecorated since and decor is looking very tired. The food was good old fashioned seaside nosh. Prices are good value.

What a lovely little restaurant this is, after a awful weekend I ended up here with my son, we had the pork roast dinner and it was lovely, but the best thing was the Victoria sandwich cake, we were made very welcome and we would go back again.

I was taken here for my first traditional english tea time ,and was impressed on the nice and clean atmosphere.I was also impressed by the cakes/scones and the jam was very tasty.The place is eclectic in a good way (Still to this day the willie nelson music playing made me pause lol)

My family and I visited this place for lunch whilst on holiday - the holiday may have been a couple of months ago but still fresh in my mind. From the outside this looks like a hotel rather than a cafe/restaurant but the interior is all restaurant, it is - I believe - a family owned and run business. We all had excellent hot meals and drinks. The menu is quite varied so there is plenty of choice for everyone. The staff are all very polite, friendly and welcoming. Altogether an enjoyable experience for all three of us. At the time we were there there was only one other family eating.The accessibility is good - for wheelchairs etc - once inside, however there is a small step up and front door is similar to that of any cafe/restaurant. There is ample street parking, can't remember if there is a car park at the rear.

Went here today for a roast. we had roast beef with all the trimmings. perfectly cooked and a bargain for £7.80 !! Just a shame this lovely little place is closing for winter.

Lovely spot for tea and cake. CASH ONLY as a warning. Staff are friendly, lovely decor.A bit tight with a push chair but we managed

This place looks really nice from the outside but is a little disappointing. Inside, it's comfortable and cosy - and apparently has tables upstairs too, but it lacks crucial things to be considered special. Firstly, we ordered roast beef - and whilst the beef was lovely, the vegetables let it down badly. Instant frozen potatoes and the sprouts hadn't even been cooked-through and were hard and frozen in the middle! Not enough gravy either.The apple pie portion was stingy to say the least - and the whole meal cost £27.00 for 2, which is hardly cheap for lunch-time....If the portions were a bit bigger and the veg fresh it might have been worth it.

Visited on Sunday as tourists, spilled water over our son, Very rude service, table neglected, won't be coming back.

We came here three years ago when we were just a three member family. This time we came as a four member family. The lady remembered us from last time which was amazing. Lovely food. Great service. Such a lovely and friendly place to eat. I can't recommend it enough. Hopefully we shall return in a few years too.

We regularly have afternoon tea and cake here and my wife pays. Today I decided to pay. A while later my wife asked the price and when I told her it was £10, she told me I should go back and complain. I didn't but you should all be aware to check what you are charged. The correct price should have been around £6 as my wife normally pays. Either the waitress needs a calculator or or there are special August prices.Other than this it is a lovely place to eat.

Burnham-on-Sea promenade is frankly a little run down and in need of a face-lift (which, to be fair, is happening) but this little family run restaurant is the exception. Scrupulously clean and tidy, it serves a good selection of excellently prepared and presented meals. Prices are very reasonable and portions more than ample. We recommend their daily specials. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. In nice weather (not in June 2016 unfortunately) the outside seating is pleasant but in typical English weather (!) there is a good sea view from upstairs. It's not often an Excellent rating is appropriate but it's well deserved in this case.

We had a super lunch and cream tea at the front parlour today. Food was really nice. Staff were friendly and attentive and the price was great too. I would definitely recommend

We visit here most times that we go to Burnham -On-Sea . The staff are lovely .the food great and cakes and cream teas delicious ! The ambience is really nice .( They only take cash ,so be aware of this )

Second visit - came in June last year with a friend who loves Burnham-on-Sea and a traditional Fish and Chip meal and she has loved it both times. I had a sandwich with all the trimmings and was so full had to have a light supper.The staff are great - so helpful and friendly - couldn't wish for more.We ate 'al fresco' as the weather was good but the inside is charming too.Great choice of menu, so would heartily recommend.

A real find. Freshly prepared, delivered quickly and with a smile and at a bargain price. Can certainly recommend the ham, egg and chips (freshly cut ham) and the chef sent us extra chips to the table as he thought there were too few on the plate!

Popped in for lunch but decided to induldge in a cream tea instead and we weren't disappointed.served in smart,clean and tidy surroundings i would have no problem in recommending to anybody.

Busy Sunday,sea front packed,very hot, and desperate for something other than Roast's,burgers,or fish & chips.Now,they did do all of those,but also toasted sandwiches,ploughman's all of which came with fresh,and I do mean fresh salads,tomatoes,and all the bits you should have.Mine a big ploughman's with a generous portion of cheese,pickles etc,and all for a low price of £6-50.We did have to wait a little while before the meals arrived,but value for money,fresh ingredients,and polite staff,and add in nice surroundings and you have a winner.So,forget the pubs,if you want honest to goodness home cooked food in BOS,then go here.

First of all the appearance was attractive. Plenty of space for dining. A very pleasant place. We visited for lunch and left very happy after a delightful lunch. Served fresh, ample quantities and great service.

We were able to visit 'The Front Parlour' again for a family lunch on 25th March for my husbands birthday. We can always rely on very good food and service at this cosy restaurant nothing is too much trouble. I particularly like the ploughmans lunch. We will be back.

Had lunch here Sat 19th March. Good choice on menu, very pleasant staff. Good food.One of my favourite places to have lunch.

Same quality food and value as the artful dodger so excellentBoth times I have visited here I have been able to find a sear easily unlike the dodge that can be very busy due to popularityAlso the addition of toilets here is a big plus compared to the dodge.One downside is both times I visited it was quite cold inside, and while nicely decorated with an older theme lacked atmosphere.

The Front Parlour has now become Mrs Bumbles, do not worry still run by the same family but as the sister cafe to the Artful Dodger so now serving excellent value breakfasts (and some lunches and light bites). A range of hot and cold drinks are available and the coffee is made from real beans. Lovely home made cakes available too.What you can expect is breakfasts from £2.20 for a Nancy - toasted muffin topped with beans, cheese slices (or the Little Orphan for children at £1.80 - sausage, hash brown & beans). If you want to blow the budget then the Bill Sykes will set you back £4 but for that you get bacon, 2 sausages, egg, fried bread, mushrooms, hash brown, beans & saute potatoes.This is not the place for you if you are looking for local, organic produce. But if you are looking for consistently cooked, hot breakfasts and pleasant service this is the place to be.To keep with the theme the upstairs seating is set out as a Victorian kitchen area (ladies even if you do not need to use the toilets upstairs pop up and have a look - know the signage will make you smile :) ).They also have some outside tables where you can enjoy watching the world promenade along the Esplanade and look out over the Channel. There is easy access to the outside and downstairs seating for the less mobile (but note as mentioned above the toilets are up stairs, and they are a little steep).If I can get in planning to go back with friends on Monday for an Oliver (my breakfast of choice - fried bread, beans, egg, sausage & bacon £2.40)

We popped in for a cream tea and were very pleasantly surprised to enjoy a quaint experience.I can't say it was exceptional but service was prompt and friendly with decent scones (wee bit dry) served in lovey china cups (but coffee was too strong)Worth a visit though.

A family run restaurant offering good, homemade food at reasonable prices using fresh produce! We ordered the Sunday roast and got a great plate full with a huge variety of vegetables, roast and new potatoes with lashings of gravy! The apple pie was also freshly baked that day and again a generous portion. Will definitely be going back!

Visited and loved Burnham on Sea. Was not sure what we fancied to eat till we all read advertisement board at the front parlour and decided we all fancied a sunday dinner. We ordered two beef dinners and one pork dinner and could not fault any part of it. Top food at a lovely setting

A sea-front restaurant in Burnham serving good, hearty, traditional English food; with a friendly welcome and quick service.We ate out in the front seating area with views to the sea. A good range on the menu - baked spuds; sandwiches, fish & chips, etc; puddings and a good selection of cakes. Reasonably-priced. Two of us ate mains and shared a roly-poly pudding, two teas - £17.50

Sunday lunch for pensioners is excellant just the right size. Roast is served from 12-2pm. After this its back to the main menu.Small two floor restaurant with seaviews and tables in the forecourt.Food is prepared fairly quickly staff are friendly and very helpful.Owners own The Artful Dodger as well where you can get an excellant breakfast

When my husband and I come to Burnham-On-Sea we look forward to coming to The Front Parlour for their exceptional value, yummy 'HighTea'. Particularly like the china tea cups and extra hot water served with the tea, lovely sarnies and scone, I've rarely got room for the cake and take that away. Service is really friendly and accommodating to us and our baby. We have also had dinner there which again was exceptionally good value and very tasty. Couldn't fault any of our experiences there, we've only got to love it all the more each time.

We went for a little stroll in Burham on a Sunday afternoon and came across The Front Parlour. The sign saying "cream teas" grabbed our attention. Myself and friends had the cream tea and the "High tea" and both were amazing. The high tea was only £6.50 and was worth far more. The waitress was so helpful, chatty and told us about the history of the place which was lovely to hear. I would highly recommend this lovely little place xx

Stopped off for coffee first..sat outside to take in the view of the beach.Staff so friendly and helpful we decided to return and have a meal.Well worth return visit, food was lovely two of us had roast lunch others had omlette/chips, salad etc.Pot of tea comes with extra water,plus one of the group had hot chocolate with marshmallows it was delish....Will certainly return to this lovely ,friendly place.

Had a really nice Sunday lunch at the parlour. Got there just before the rush and managed to get a table upstairs looking over the beach. Food was okay. Probably all frozen but still really tasty.. The service was really good. The staff so friendly a real credit to the management. Definitely go back again.

Family run since 1984 - with the same menu? Roast dinners every day of the week, ham and eggs, sausage and chips etc. We got what we asked for and it was good. Cant really complain. Decor is bonkers (teapots and fairy lights), staff are friendly and cream tea looked lovely. A very british menu.

My husband and three children popped in for Sunday lunch. Staff were so friendly and I loved the decor and cosy feel. My husband had cod and chips which was ok, the children's meals were fine but I felt really disappointed with my roast dinner. The beef looked like the pre sliced stuff you can buy at the deli and the spuds were definitely bought in frozen ones. For £7.80 I expected a bit more effort put in! Saying that we will definitely return for cream teas, they looked fab

I've given this place 4 stars, but this is really only reflective of the service and decor, as the food alone would only have earned it 3.In the sea of tat and chip shops that appears to be typical Burnham fashion, this place is a lovely retreat, it is comfortable, roomy, and has a very nice ambience. The service was quick and friendly. The food however, let it down. Yes it was well presented, but the ingredients were cheap - think cash and carry type sausage and burgers - and although the prices were ok, I wouldn't mind paying a little more for better quality ingredients, which, I think, would also be more in keeping with how nice every other aspect was.

We were to late for the Roast dinners, they had sold out, it was 2.30.pm on a Bank holiday Monday. Totally our fault for arriving to late. We decided on the High Tea. It was lovely, sandwiches, crisps little salad, scone cream & jam, with a slice of fruit cake. & a pot of tea included in the price. Set in lovely Victorian style, fab. Staff are lovely too.

went to this restaurant for lunch last week and have to say I was very impressed with it, I had high tea and my sons had beef dinner and sandwiches, my high tea was beautiful and presented stunningly plenty of tea in the teapot (and hot water supplied) there was loads on the tray so much so I ended up sharing my cakes with my children so they didn't get to sample the other cakes, looking forward to my next visit

From the decor to the sea views this cafe is stunning. Friendly staff and food that is delicious. The best cakes in Burnham. Really good prices too. I can't recommend this cafe enough.

We found this lovely place as we strolled along the front. We have 2 young children who asked for something that wasn't on the menu, it was no problem to the very friendly staff. My husband and I enjoyed their cream tea, a real holiday treat and it was simply delicious. Lovely place to go, would highly recommend.

I could not fault The Front Palour at all, staff were really friendly, service excellent, clean and excellent choice of food too. Relaxing and very good value, we would recommend this restaurant and give it 5 stars.

Lovely place to eat very clean service was very good and friendly staff . Food was very nice and would return again . Nice and relaxing place did not rush you to order your meal .

I ve just returned from having a lovely supper at The front Parlour with family. A great welcome with super food and all at a fantastic price. Would definately be visiting again :) :) .

Beautiful old style seafront cafe, was absolutely immaculate inside, the staff were friendly and had a good sense of humour. Coffee was perfect, tea came with extra boiling water.Scones were home made and superb. Simply a great cream tea.

We ate at this restaurant for the first time last week. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. There was a good choice of food on the menu all good English fare and the desserts were good too - hot fudge cake and Apple pie definitely get the thumbs up!

Took three of the grandchildren in for their evening meal,great food and service,very quick to the table,good value,complemented us on our well behaved children,enjoy everything about it,will return,Value for you money.

Called in for lunch last Sunday and could not believe the value for money roast - I had roast pork which was served with Apple sauce and stuffing and a large array of nicely cooked fresh vegetables All was hot and tasty and served by pleasant waiters. My friends had roast beef which was equally good. Nice drinks, spotlessly clean make this the place to visit in Burnham

My family and I have been holidaying for many years. We have always eaten at this establishment and never had a problem here. We first visited the the front parlour under a different name the port hole. We have found the menu to be comprehensive, good value and well presented. Apart from monday (closed) we visited here every day for a meal often sitting in the window downstairs, as both my parents are disabled. We are already planning our visit for 2015 and will be sure to be visiting here again.

My family and I have been going here for many years. We have always received excellent service, but last night my parents came here for a meal. My mother can't eat a lot or spicy food.. She asked the waitress for a plain ham salad. The waitress said they don't do that and made no effort to check with kitchen. My parent left. This I don't think was a difficult request as they were not busy and did have all the items required to do the salad on the menu. I am very dissapointed with the front parlour. My family and I will not be eating here again.

Right on the sea front at Burnham on sea.Excellent service and a home from home member had an excellent roast beef evening meal, a real change from the restaurant chains.

Very nice friendly staff, however, kids menu very limited with mesls mainly festuring chips, and they were not prepared to do an adult meal in a child size portion, which made me think food may not be fresh, thus was confirmed by my dry microwaved lasagne. We had to order an adult portion of spaghetti Bolognese as my daughter doesn't like chips and they even made a point of saying that she couldn't have the ice cream that came with a child's meal, even though we'd paid double the amount of a child's meal, so had to pay extra for her to have ice cream. However, was clean and nice enough inside.

We arrived late on a Saturday evening, and by the time we got our two tired children through the door, the restaurant was closed. Having initially (and apologetically) directed us elsewhere, the lady in charge then called us back from the promenade to say that she would re-open in order to serve us. We then enjoyed some really good home-cooked meals (roast chicken, lasagne etc.), and did not feel rushed despite keeping the staff beyond their usual finishing time. Fantastic hospitality and service, with tasteful decor too. Thank you!

We decided to stop off in Burham on way back from Cornwall and had lunch in The Front Parlour as this would save us eating in a service station. The two course lunch and service was excellent. We have had lunch here a few years ago and the new decor is so much nicer. We will definitely be back!

Found after traipsing around looking for something other than a Wetherspoons or fish and chips.I'm not normally into a 'traditional roast dinner', but this was good. The beef was excellent, staff were nice. The coffee was good too.

a lovely family- run cafe which serves terrific roast traditional dinners, light lunches, and fantastic cream teas in vintage bone china cups and saucers at very reasonable prices. This is a great little cafe- sea views, charming decor, friendly waitress service and tasty food- well done!

Went into here for a drink and were greeted by friendly staff. Waitress service in a small cafe like this adds a nice touch, rather than ordering and paying at till. Menu offers varied selection of meals including hot food nod sandwiches. Tea is served in china cups, and sandwiches and cakes can be delivered to your table on china plates ( quintessentially English). It's like having high tea by the seaside. Would definitely go back if we visit the area again.

The Front Parlour serves excellent quality food and has a varied menu of snacks and meals including roast dinners which is served all day long. Waitress service makes a lovely change rather than having to queue up with a tray as in other establishments. Delicious coffee and pots of tea served with bone china tea cups really makes the experience a treat and the delightful decor and a beautiful sea view are and added bonus. Definitely the place to go in Burnham.
