We had the Sunday roast at the Haven and it was great quality, lots of well cook veg and the starters and puddings were very nice too. They hold them on the last Sunday of each month and you have to book in advance. We had a lovely meal and we will definitely book again. Just a suggestion, maybe some low background music would make the ambience a little nicer.

Love this little place, food is always so enjoyable and freshly made, especially the homemade chilli, there is always delicious specials on. Love that they only take cash, keep it circulation. Cash is king!! The staff are always friendly and accommodating.

Spotted the Haven Cafe whilst in Sandwich. Had a couple of hours to kill and gave it a go. Sat down and then eventually saw a small notice that they only took cash. Who only takes cash nowadays?? PDQ machines are so cheap, less than £20 per month for retailers. So, left my table and walked to the bank for cash. Returned to find my table taken. Having sat there for 15 minutes (for a second time), still not served, not even for a coffee. Really poor service. Never again. Only go there if you have cash and are prepared to wait. Felt sorry for the young woman serving, she was rushed off her feet and was trying to cope. Not a complaint against her in any way.

A very enjoyable Sunday Roast consisting of turkey and gammon with a variety of vegetables, stuffing, a (great) Yorkshire and bonus "pig-in-blanket". It was freshly cooked and piping hot. Excellent value for money, thank you

Best cooked breakfast I’ve had for a long time. Bit disappointed that fried bread wasn’t listed on the menu only to find that the eggs are served on perfectly cooked fried bread ! Would prefer streaky bacon given a choice but that’s just me ! Cash only but there’s an ATM just up the road

The best quiche I’ve had in years, fresh crispy and tasty salad, skin on fries. My wife had jacket with Tuna and again amazing salad and slaw on the side. Sadly she got dull up with just a half the potato so I had to dive in and save the day! Great prices, big portions, fresh food all served with a genuine smile. Will be back

Popped in today for lunch on a rainy day in Sandwich. It was 2pm and it was half full. We were left to wait and didn't t know if we should just choose our own table. One lady working there ignored us at first, and I asked if we could sit anywhere, to which she said yes. This particular waitress with short dark hair, was nothing but rude to people. we had ordered food and two teas. After watching her bring out other drinks and after 15 mins I asked if our teas were nearly ready. She looked at me as though I was something on our shoe, and said "yes I know" really sarcastically. And walked off. The same woman went on to put the closed sign up at 2.30pm despite saying it was open until 4pm. A couple tried to come in, and there was no apology they were closed, but she just pointed to the sign and walking off, said "closed". Another couple came and stood for 5 mins, and she just ignored them and kept walking past until they gave up and left. Upon coming to pay with a card, we were told cash only. I said I didn't know and she said "it's on the till, you need to find a cash machine". My friend went and found one in the rain, and we paid. The food was on apart from crunchy chips, but the atmosphere was so poor. I was not the only one to notice this lady and heard a couple of people complaining about her attitude. Will definitely not be returning

The service was a tiny bit slow, but the waitresses were very helpful and kind. They take cash only which is a bit of a pain. The food we ordered was very nice but not very big portions. It was perfect lunch size food. The milkshake I ordered was not nice at all it was very gungy as if it had lots of slimy goo in it and it didn’t at all taste like banana. Maybe work on the milkshakes. Overall a nice place to eat.

Catered for my husband who is coeliac and he had a treat which included unusually, hash brown, sausage and toast. No problem asking for gluten free option although a lot of places seem to treat this request with disdain. What a warm and welcoming experience, we shall return.....

We were visiting Sandwich with our grandson and thought we would call into this cafe for lunch. Our grandson was enticed in by the big strawberry milkshake on the picture. We ordered our drinks and when the lady serving us returned to take our order, bearing in mind it was 11.40 was told no we are serving breakfast its not dinner time its not even ready . I am afraid this person was very abrupt in her attitude and when i said well sorry we do not want breakfast went straight into the kitchen and started to tittle tattle into i assume the managers ear. Now if this was the case you would have thought she would have said you only have 20 mins ill come back then. We were made to feel embarrassed as she said there are signs everywhere . Not inside and like the previous person i do not make a habit of reading all signs on the door. . When it came to pay it was sorry cash. We were made to feel embarrassed and a bit of a nuisance as my husband had to go out to a cash machine to get the money. Now curtesy would say when taking the drinks order oh its cash only or a sign on the table. Not when my husband said to her were does it say this to be told there are signs everywhere. We duly [aid up and left. I like Sandwich but this is one greasy spoon i will never visit again. I will stick to the other ones in sandwich from now on.

We visited this cafe at a lunch time. We noticed it was dog friendly and went inside. We didn’t read all the notices on the door, there were quite a few, we just entered as we were hungry. We ordered a snack and drinks. I asked for a strong tea and when it arrived the tea was very milky with the tea bag left in. Even letting the tea stew it was still too milky for me. I asked for another tea bag and the lady pulled a face at me and reluctantly got another tea bag. The snack was nice, although I didn’t enjoy it as I felt quite upset that the lady had pulled a face at me and obviously thought I was a nuisance. When I paid, they stated that it was cash only. This was done in a curt manner. We hadn’t noticed the sign on the door. I went back to the table and we managed to rustle up the right money. I paid and we left quite upset. I feel a bit of friendliness would be nice and also maybe if it’s new people visiting a quick mention of cash only when taking the order wouldn’t hurt and would alleviate the need for people to worry about finding the cash at the last minute. We realise the sign was there, but I’m sure many do not read all the signs when entering an establishment. Thankfully we didn’t need to leave and go to a cash machine. That would have been very embarrassing. We felt very awkward in front of the other customers, who it seems were mostly regulars.
