My fiance brought me here for breakfast cause I love alice in wonderland so much. Omg the place is absolutely fabulous, breakfast was lovely and the cheese cake is to die for. The whole experience was made even better by the wonderland lady who served us and went above and beyond. What a lovely lady she was very friendly and made us feel very welcome on out trip to the mad hatter. I recommend everyone visit this place and we will definitely be back for lunch

We called in Thursday evening for dinner as this restaurant always delivers on excellent quality and friendly service. Lovely meals as usual and quite filling. It’s a relaxing and cosy spot for a meal and a place where you are never rushed. We also ordered rolls to take away for our breakfast on the train up to Edinburgh the following day. The rolls were large and well filled with plenty of beef which kept us going all day. One plea for Sue - please never get rid of the Eton Mess from the dessert menu!!

We’ve visited for breakfast a few times but decided to try the Sunday lunch and we’re glad we did. Generous portions with a good selection of vegetables. There was a choice of six meats which came with a yorkie, roast potatoes and a parsnip and then there were separate dishes of mash, carrots, broccoli, peas, cabbage and cauliflower cheese with a jug of gravy. The normal menu as well as specials were also available. Service was good and the staff were friendly. A few people came in to collect take away lunches whilst we were there. Going to try the evening menu next time we’re in the area.

Food was good but this being my first time visiting, I thought it would be more themed with the menu. Brought our granddaughter and the menu was alright. No complaints, service was good. As for afternoon tea, you would have to book 24hrs in advance. So we were disappointed that that was not available.

Myself and Mrs tried The Mad Hatter for our breakfast this morning and we were not disappointed. We were welcomed by very polite friendly staff and presented with menus. We both had full breakfasts accompanied with choice of tea or coffee and a range of fruit juices. All of which came fairy quickly and was all very nice. We will certainly come back and maybe try lunch or an evening meal at the weekend.

I was so disappointed in the cafe I used to go their a lot as the meals were delicious and good value for money On our return today for our usual breakfast we were welcomed upon arrival shown to our table we were shown to a table with the waitress asking us if we have been here before I mentioned not in a while we used to be here all of the time. We quickly realised that the price of the meals had raised quite considerably the breakfast’s shrunk in size paying 12 pounds for a smaller glass of juice Coffee included 1 slice of toast instead of the 2 slices you used to get with jam and butter if we used the toast for our breakfast we wouldn’t Have anything for the jam and butter having the jam going to waste My breakfast came with 1 sausage 1 egg potato and cabbage mix 2 plumb tomato small pot of beans spread over an oversized plate We asked for extra toast that we got at I believe no extra charge I say with regret that I won’t be going back although I wished I mentioned how I felt So so disappointed at this stage in the community and we all have limited money and trying to support our local community it would be more to keep the costing low that would bring in the regular stream of customers the cafe is still popular food is good but a shame for the costing and meal size

There are not enough superlatives to say haw great this resturant, their food and their staff are. Mad Hatter catered for our Wedding last week and the food and service were absolutely excellent. Luiz, Sue and Delores were there to serve, oversee and make sure everyone was having great time....and then clear away aftewards.. All of our guests loved the food and had nothing but praise for the MH team. Thank you Mad Hatter. Definitely ten out of ten. Keefe and Emily.

Both burgars had no salard and were missing extra cheese. The burgars in the photo looked really nice, the ones we got we got were very thin and tasteless.
