The Red Cafe in East Northamptonshire

Food still piping hot when it arrived, very friendly delivery. Good veggie sausages.

Very good, good menu choices and enjoyed breakfast.

Promptly greeted when I arrived, food arrived quickly, generous portions, not over cooked. Staff very friendly and answered any questions

Staying in Higham Ferrers for a couple of days for a wedding. Took a walk in the morning looking for a good breakfast and found this lovely little café. Great, friendly service and excellent food at very reasonable prices.

Never had a bad meal ... great value, yummy food and Harlow, outer GR always gets a sausage ... so lovely to have a dog friendly cafe close by x

Went here for lunch. Staff were very friendly and food was delicious. . Would definitely recommend!

I go in there sometimes when I’m passing through the village. It’s a very nice little cafe which seems to be run by a family. Sausages need to be cooked a bit longer. Brown on the outside but uncooked/mushy in the middle. Everything else was great

Great service, lovely food, the staff are really nice and willing to help, eat here all the time, recommend this cafe.

Lovely staff, food was delicious

A clean, proper café with good food, good value, will be going again.

Great delivery direct from Red Cafe was in my hands in just over 20mins, fry up was non greasy and still nice and warm

Breakfast was tasty, service was good. Would recommended, not a lot of seating though so can get full really quickly.

Cracking breakfast with speedy service

Shame they have taken saute potatoes of the breakfast

Good food, quick service, friendly people.

Fantastic hot full English, delivered today. Excellent value and no washing up! Always great food at reasonable price delivered to your door. 3 breakfasts for £25, can’t beat it. I highly recommend their fish and chips as well, never disappointed.

Thought I’d give this a go and wasn’t disappointed. Full plate of food, well worth the money! Staff polite and friendly, good service. Could have done with an extra slice of toast on the big breakfast but nothing to write home about.

Best breakfast we've had for some time. Lovely food, nice coffee and a warm friendly welcome. We'll come back soon!

The best cafe in the area by far. Food is always good and when food is delivered its still hot. 😋

Great friendly safe and really good food.

Very warm welcome spoken to very politely was not rushed to order when ordered the food came sharp and snappy the food was delicious especially the bacon and crispy hash browns my mega breakfast was absolutely fantastic they also have nice quiet music in the background and are very clean would recommend anyone old young black white purple to come here !! The young girl that served the meals along with the cooks I have never been treated so respectfully and spoken to so well mannered before at a cafe !

Ordered online via Just Eat food expected delivery over 1/30mins but delivered well before due. (Which is good service) Ordered Medium Breakfast and Cheese burger, the breakfast was missing beans and tomatoes but restaurant was due to close so unsure if they had ran out. Milkshakes very nice and Cheese burger but not keen on the chips nor some items from the breakfast but the hash browns were good. Overall bits missing and a tad overpriced for missing items, have had delivery before no issues.

Nice breakfast, friendly environment and service with a smile.

Overpriced, the staff were rude not only to us but to each other and the food was awful, not happy 😡

Big breakfast and reasonable prices, track n trace without too much faff

This was the first time eating here and I don't recommend this shop, I have learned my lesson and I will not be eating here again.

I gave this place 1 star review just because the door was open. Turned up Saturday morning there were 3 people sitting down eating. I asked for a bacon and egg sandwich and a tea to take away. The reply was 30 minutes to 45 minutes for a takeaway but it would be considerably quicker if I sat down to eat it. !!!! Errrr how does that work ? More staff than customers and using the excuse that they have a lot of online orders !!! YEP ! on a Saturday morning when most companies are closed for the weekend. I would prefer to say that they are bone idle to go along with the attitude and this was the perfect example of them having an easy Saturday morning. If I was able to sit down and get my food in a reasonable time why does it take between 30 minutes to 45 minutes for a takeaway ? I just walked out in the end and found somewhere else that was ACTUALLY BUSY but were not as bone idle as to not want to serve you because they wanted to take it easy. USELESS.

Really friendly staff, delicious and freshly made food and fast service. Highly recommended. 5 stars 🌟 ✨

Excellent service and very clean, would highly recommend

The food and staff are totally amazing. They have delivered a superb service, especially given our current climes. Excellent: quality, value and service 5 stars.

Thank you The Red Cafe for our lovely and very tasty bacon rolls today. Your kind donation to the staff at Harborough Field Surgery was truly appreciated. Thank you again.

Great staff and breakfast stop on . Thank you be back again

Great little cafe and lovely breakfasts

Came in with my family for breakfast and was not disappointed. The food was fresh and delicious. We will definitely return again.

We always enjoy going to The Red Cafe but is it necessary to have so much bread roll around the bacon. Bacon is very plentiful but the roll is far to big and very lacking in spread on it .

Food is awesome staff are lovely

Excellent breakfast, always go for the 10 item for £8.50. Food always cooked well and you can’t go wrong with a proper cafe breakfast! Lady in there is always extremely friendly! Need to come here and try having a lunch.

Always great food. Just cant beat it for a fry up in the morning. Proper ingredients used rather than cheaper ones used at similar cafes. Friendly staff. Short waiting times.

Definitely one of the best fish and chips around. We always get our fish, chips and pies from Red Cafe as the food is fantastic and we have also used their delivery service which was very fast and the food was hot and fresh. Can’t recommend this place enough and also lovely staff.

Great breakfast and service as always.

Needed a break after 3 hours in the car, found the Red Cafe. The very friendly service and good value food was much appreciated.

This was my first visit to the Red Cafe but family members required to soak up a hangover so a visit with kids was in order. There were 7 of us in total and we struggled to get space. I was amazed by the size of the menu. It was way more extensive than most other cafe’s of this type and considerably better priced. I had the small breakfast which was very good value. My nephew had the chicken platter which comprised of 2 pieces of chicken, loads of chips and what looked like a 200g tub of coleslaw on it. All of that was just over a fiver. Service wasn’t overly fast but honestly you could tell that everything was made fresh. I’m happier with that than having meals microwaved quickly. Good to see a small place doing well.

I don’t normally leave reviews, but we went to red cafe today, walked in and kindly asked to sit at table near the door, a staff member came over and told us we couldn’t sit there and was told to sit where she wanted us too, very rude to start with then when it came down to ordering food, my pregnant Mrs ask kindly for some changes to her breakfast and was point blank refused she couldn’t change anything with her breakfast, absolutely disgusting, rude and couldn’t care less about how she was treating us, then after that she asked for a drink off the menu and your staff member said this drink wasn’t available and then said that’s are old menu , this is the menus she bought over to the table? We left never had food and went to another cafe that was very professional and gave my pregnant Mrs what she wanted and was very polite, such a shame red cafe has gone down hill. Will not be returning. Absolutely terrible customer service.

Best place for breakfast or a veggie burger!

Always good service and food. We visit family and travel from Scotland always have the same experience. Friendly staff and perfectly cooked food.

I go here often for their budget breakfast - 13 items (2 x eggs, 2 x bacon, 2 x sausage, 2 x black pudding, 2 x hash browns, toast, beans, tomatoes PLUS coffee) for a fiver. The food on that breakfast isn't the highest quality but it fills a gap and costs very little. Service is prompt and polite, the place is usually bustling and food is served freshly cooked. Well worth a visit

Friendly staff and tasty food at reasonable prices. I'd reccomend this Cafe to anybody passing.

Pleasantly surprised by the attentive young male and female servers. Asking me how my day was while serving quality, quick and tasty food.

This is good to get decent food..quick clean and cheap. Always get good portions and a variety of choices

After hearing good reviews and it being on my door step I decided to call in for a breakfast. Sat morning about 10am was absolutely full to the brim with people, no tables spare. The waitresses were all very young but very polite and helpful. The menu was fab, so much to choose from I had a cooked breakfast which did take an absolute age to arrive, but they were busy and do cook everything from scratch, the waitresses kept us supplied in toast, 4 slices each and then more with our food. The food was ok, nothing special but not cooked badly either. I do think it is a little expensive but not extortionate. I will return but at a quieter time, I think the cafe has great potential but they do need to speed up a little and maybe look at bigger premises so we not all sat on each others laps.

2 bacon 2 eggs 2 sausage 2 toast 1 tea nearly £11 ridiculous. !

Lovely little cafe in an area we work the most. With us dealing with everyone locally to you like the queens head etc we would love to have you as a customer, We have a touch screen and guest wifi system for £495 With no ongoing costs and free support from us 24hr 7 days a week. Gives a shout. Also fit cctv for free and Samsung signage if you need at the same time.

Great local cafe. Good food and friendly staff

Lovely food , plaseclean abd staff polite

Good not keen on sausages no taste good hot food and drink

Had an all day breakfast and it was cooked to perfection!

I wish we had a little café like this in Birmingham! I always visit with friends when back home, delicious breakfasts! They also do other typical café style meals, which are also delicious. Staff always friendly, like I said I always return when visiting home.

Great food. Great prices. Always spot on!

This used to be a fav cafe for my family on a Sunday post football but unfortunately it has lost a bit of direction when it first opened! Normally expect a full house in there around 11.30 on a Sunday but the place was empty apart from the staff. Warmly greeted as normal and the drinks & food arrived swiftly but not up to its usual standard. My youngest commented that the cheese toastie was not like it use to be and chips too. My breakfast was pretty bland and none eventful. It’s a shame as it use be a cracking cafe and full with local atmosphere. Hopefully a few tweaks could spin fortunes back round and will try again in a few weeks time.

Lovely clean cafe with top notch breakfasts and service with a smile - perfect little pit stop when you need to recharge your batteries. The coffee is also to die for especially the cappuccino. Good value for money and good variety of choice.

Well cooked cafe food. A little bit on the expensive side.

Rate highly. Lovely little place. Staff are friendly and on the ball, breakfasts are made to your preference and you are guaranteed a relaxed experience.

Just nice to eat somewhere a little bit different - great service - and friendly - portions are great and not overpriced - seems like a very popular meeting place for all

Good food well cooked. Affordable prices.

Fantastic little café, with a wonderful atmosphere and great music. Food is very good and prices good too. Will definitely be going there again and again.

Went in last Saturday, super milkshake!

i just need to know your email as i have a questionnaire for my gcse's. I would be very grateful if you replied to this :)

It's my local cafe and my favourite, the food here is all freshly cooked and of good quality, the breakfasts are superb and not at all greasy like a lot of places, they do really lovely salads too and the homemade dressing is delicious, the pancakes here are the best I've personally had anywhere and are a meal in themselves, if your looking for a great cafe meal the Red Cafe should be your first port of call.

Fuimos a visitar este lugar, ya que las críticas parecen positivas.

I love this cafe!! Great service from lovely people. You get huge mugs of tea, and really good full English breakfasts. We pop in here often, and can really recommend the food and service here.

Conseguimos un café y un bollo salchichas aquí esperando el tren. Sólo una chica detrás del mostrador, y a pesar de su ser muy buena, y haciendo gran café, significaba que estaban en la cola durante bastante tiempo.

First time visit, really good breakfast, hot and tasty, friendly staff. Good value! Highly recommended 😀

Asistieron el sábado para el desayuno. Una buena selección de alimentos para elegir a un precio razonable. Recién cocinado. Pequeña cafetería básica con buen servicio. No atiende almuerzos y comida para llevar.

we went in for a breakfast, good selection to choose from. price was up to you, 5 items £4.50 or 10 for £8.50 (I think) additional items a £1. thoroughly enjoyed the food

Fabulous food fabulous staff value for money

Cannot fault it, immaculately clean good service and great food, £5 for full 13 item breakfast cooked to order with hot drink and toast, fav place to eat in town for good eats.

Popped in on a Sunday afternoon for a milkshake. My son loved it!!!The staff were really friendly and the place looked really busy.

Always get great food and service. Brunch is amazing

Great breakfast roll, great price, great service, what more do you need!!!

Great local breakfast always friendly staff clean and good quality food parking is the only let down but good to walk a hearty breakfast off .

My work colleague and I tried this little cafe for a Friday morning breakfast treat, the food was good quality and tasted nice. The prices are a little high compare to other similar cafes we use and the portions could be bigger. The drinks were off that morning as they had leak...

We had lunch, my husband ordered scampi and chips which was ok but I ordered hand carved ham, egg and chips. When it arrived it clearly was processed ham. When I complained I was told that the supplier had run out of ham so this was its replacement which clearly was not hand carved. The ham was wet and sloppy so I left the majority of it. Disappointing.

We are visiting from Australia & desperate to try a proper English breakfast. Red Cafe offer a wide choice of good food very well priced. I think this cafe is great.

Placed an online order for delivery and it was declined with no reason, even though we've ordered from here before! Won't order again!

It isnt fair to label the cafe' as a 'greasy spoon' because it has quite a strong branding identity which works very well and there isn't much to choose from locally at the kind of price charged, which is reasonable.Its not the kind of breakfast I would ordinarily go for but hey its good to eat greasy occasionally instead of bran!The ingredients are basic; wholesale, high volume and not so great but the quantity is well proportioned for a hungry worker. Tea is good and comes in a mug.Having been there a few times, my only concerns revolve around around staff attitude which, with few exceptions, tends toward the impolite and abrupt.Unfortunately, youngsters working there on a Saturday are not given good 'customer facing' examples from the man in charge.I am very happy to pay extra for a customised breakfast rather than sticking exactly to the exact menu. Twice now it has been 'challenging', with a poor brow beaten youth being scolded by the owner for daring to voice a customer desire.It seems such a shame because a happy experience would have earned the Red Cafe at least a higher grade and probably make the staff feel better doing an otherwise thankless job. Might have got a tip too!I will go back and try again and hope to see some improvement which would be nice.

Been here with the fella a few times now and have left satisfied each time. Our usual visit is for a fry up of which there are plenty of variations or build your own which is nice as I'm quite fussy. Lots of other items on the menu which we haven't tried yet but look yum. Staff friendly and attentive.

The most inflexible cafe on the planet!! I wanted to order the medium breakfast which comes with 2 x sausages, 1 x bacon, 1 x hash brown, 1 x egg, baked beans and tomatoes. I don't eat sausages so I asked if I could swap the two sausages for two bits of bacon. To which I was told I could only swap one thing, so I could only have one extra bit of bacon and still have to have one sausage. I asked if I could swap the two sausages for two bits of bacon to which I was told NO! I could only swap one thing, REALLY? Are you actually for real????

Very clean, well organised. Staff polite and helpful.Fish smashing, large and tasty. Chips better than many.Definitely the best for miles around.And deliver too if needed which is unusual for a chippy!

The food was lovely, but the milkshakes were GORGEOUS

Room to small to fit a a standerd pram, although friendly staff do try and accommodate as easily as possible. Love the food, but didnt like that you cant swap food items. Was recommended to us and have recommended to others.

We've only eaten Breakfast here, but have done it several times and it's always been really very good. It's even better value when they have special offers.

Food is basic greasy spoon cafe stuff.Owned by eastern European people.Reasonably priced with good portions.

Went here for the first time a couple of weeks ago and if you are after a cheap quick feed up then its perfect.A fry up for me is to be enjoyed but unfortunately the cheap ingredients, lack of atmosphere and the big miserable looking geezer staring at everyone makes it a no from me.Instant coffee is a fail and the sausages, well I bet they cost £2 for a thousand of them. For a fry with decent coffee, larger portions, better quality food and no miserable geezer go to cafe@25 in Irthlingborough.

The kids and I decided to go out for breakfast to The Red Cafe. The kids really enjoyed the meals. The hash browns, sausages, beans, eggs and toast hit the spot as usual. I really like the open feel of the restaurant. Hearing the crackling of the grill and all the wonderful smells fill the restaurant makes it feel very welcoming.

Tried the value breakfast offer, four of us had full breakfast including drink for £20 total. The place was very busy which is always a good sign. Food is all cooked fresh and on the spot and was served by friendly staff. Well done !

Visited here a couple of times with my partner, absolutely beautiful food on both occasions. A true English breakfast! A 13 piece breakfast for £5? You cannot go wrong with that! My only criticism would be that the staff aren't that friendly but that's just minor I suppose, you don't go for the company of staff it just helps to have a friendly face greeting you. Overall a lovely place and will be returning.

Took 2 children here for breakfast and it was great. Staff were helpful and friendly and food was good, served quickly and hot. Read a few comments moaning about the owner but at the end of the day it's his business. Don't like it then don't go. I will certainly go back.

I haven't visited for breakfast in a while & found my last visit a bit of a dissapointment, at £7.50 I do expect a bit more, my main complaint are the sausages, cheap & nasty pink so full of cereal rather than meat.The cafe is spotless & service swift with everything cooked to order, you can get a little more at Wetherspoons for a lot less money with tasty sausages.!I no longer order coffee as it's expensive & frankly horrible.

A nice little cafe but it's disappointing it's not open on Mondays now as we used to like to go there for lunch before going to dancing at the nearby WMC

I don't know if the owner/manager was having a bad day but his attitude was awful. Went in with a group of friends to have something to eat having spent time at the farmers market, visiting some of the local shop's etc, one of our group moved a chair and the manager came over and said in an aggressive manner "you can't sit there you are in the gangway" we understood the reason why and said that we were a group of six and trying to make the most of being sociable. Again in an aggressive manner we were told "you should have booked" One of our party is hard of hearing and asked his wife what was going on and do the story was retold. Suddenly the manager came storming down to where we were sitting and said "if you dont like it there's the door" needless to say we all left and we will not be going back! The cafe was not full and a number of people looked shocked at his outburst. Spoilt our day in Higham Ferrers and was very embarrassing for two of out party who live there.
