The singing kettle cafe in North Lincolnshire

Lovely breakfast. Lovely staff.

Nestled in the quaint town of Barton-upon-Humber, **The Singing Kettle** offers a harmonious blend of history and hospitality. This charming café, a stone's throw from the iconic Humber Bridge, is a delightful discovery for those disembarking from early ferries or embarking on southern adventures. Upon entering, the aroma of freshly brewed coffee and the warm smiles of the staff promise a welcoming respite. The café prides itself on catering to various dietary needs, as evidenced by their willingness to accommodate a low-carb diet with a generous serving of proteins, ensuring a satisfying start to the day. The breakfast menu, boasting locally sourced ingredients, pays homage to the town's rich heritage—a former brickmaking powerhouse and a land once roamed by Vikings. The culinary experience is not just a meal but a journey through time and taste. The Singing Kettle isn't just a stop; it's a destination. With its delicious food, friendly service, and a touch of historical intrigue, it comes highly recommended for those seeking sustenance and a story to carry along their journey.

Exelent food , the eggs where so free range they walked themselves to the cafe

We haven't visited since last year and was really disappointed on this occasion. The place is really run down with sticky tables and dirty floors and lack of condiments but it was the change of menus and the prices on the menu that shocked us. £10 for a jacket potato? £3:75 for some crumpets or toast and i thought £2.40 for a cup of tea is just too much. We had the breakfasts they were ok but a bit greasy definitely not the standard item used to be. Such a shame as it was always a hidden gem this cafe! Unfortunately won't be back.

Advertised as open until 3pm but stopped serving food by 2pm. Not very useful if it is a planned stop.

Stop off occasionally on a Saturday or on my way to work. Smashing pots of tea and the food is awesome. Park in the bus station car park and it's a 2 minute walk. Well worth it, you'll easily miss it if you pass by in the car.

Food tasted ok but for what it was , it was expensive 10 /10 though for propper chips rather than frozen chips

Food very good, staff were spot on. I will go again cafe very clean, I had no problems at all. Thanks again to the staff.

Popped in for a breakfast. Perfect!

Waited past 9am along with 4 other people for you to open at 9am, however nobody opened up. Myself and my wife gave up waiting and went elsewhere along with the 4 workmen who were waiting. I can't comment on the food as we didn't get to try it. Poor service!

Very good value for money and dog friendly

The review referring this place as the slums really should be taken off. I have recently moved to the town. The ladies running it couldn't be more warm and welcoming. Even asked me how I was settling in on my second visit. Very good choice on menu and a good price. Very clean place and very thoughtful service. This area is full of down to earth, honest people and this really shouldn't offend. Very friendly hard working young ladies. Hats off to them.

Breakfast : take out. Chips extra - well overcooked, greasy, soggy, toast burnt, eggs hard, beans only just above half way in small tub, hardly any mushrooms, tub of tomatoes missing, bacon extremely salty, sausages ok, overall heavy and greasy, very disappointing.

Great staff and hearty food at a good price

So nice, chicken wrap i had was lovely. Nice and hot. Nice and cosy in the cafe. Waitress was lovely aswell 😊. The atmosphere is nice would 100% recommend.

Dirty,dated,unfriendly staff food below average,cold and greasy served regulars before us would definitely not recommend a visit.

staff shown hostile behaviour towards me,the breakfast looked it had been microwave and the latte from shop bought packet The decor very dated needs freshening up like the staff. Plus it was very disgusting cafe with spills everywhere on the tables. It doesn't deserve a star.

Take away sandwiches spot on xx

Superb friendly staff, ordered and food was ready when I arrived to pick it up 😁😁 I will be visiting again. They've now got heaters inside...another great addition to a great cafe

Had a family breakfast here. Everything was great from the warm welcome on entering to the gorgeous food. We all enjoyed our choices and will definitely come back next time we are in Barton. Thank you so very much.

Food terrible cheap sausage, all sarneys burnt. Best bit was throwing then in the bin

Unfortunately, this café has gone majorly downhill over the past couple of years. Service is nice, fairly friendly atmosphere, but everything else lets it down. The food, drinks and condiments used are of the poorest quality. Bacon was on the cusp of cooked, fried eggs were completely coated in oil, and portions are poor considering prices. Sloppy plate assembly, presentation clearly not considered; liquid from mushrooms, beans, oil were all mixed together on the bottom of the plate, making it look very unappetising. Tables and menus feel like they haven’t been wiped in weeks. Such a shame, I won’t be coming back again. My boyfriend and I were extremely disappointed. To the owners: Feel free to come over to my house, I’ll give you a free breakfast, and show you how it should be done! :)

Terrible presentation, certainly not what you would expect when eating out. Food slopped on the plate, beans and canned tomato running together ugh... Not exactly appetising. Ate here on Tuesday. Horrendous “coffee”. Dogs inside. Sticky tablecloths. Staff photos online show long acrylic nails no gloves….germ trap. Won’t be back. only decent looking thing is the cakes. New owners are not as pleasant

I come here regularly, great food, friendly and helpful staff; and it’s dog friendly too!

Great for an all day breakfast at very reasonable price

Plenty of breakfast got money, friendly staff

had a lovely breakfast this morning 0

Really disappointed upon finding out that the kettles are the cafe actually did not sing. This, along with the lack of £3 morrisons meal deals was extremely jarring and caused me to have to go to the hospital. I am still taking physiotherapy to this day.

Just had a gorgeous panini and salad The ladies are amazing and the food is delicious 😍

Best breakfast I have had in years..

Great food and friendly service

fist time we have been was very good breakfast all freshly cooked sausages were proper butchers 1ns service was good and price was fine

The singing kettle cafe is a small cafe that makes good breakfast and lunches. Good food, service, friendly staff, good atmosphere and dogs welcome! The full English breakfasts are very tasty, and include hash browns too which is always a plus. Overall pretty great place to eat and have some tea or coffee.

Very helpful. Great food. Nothing is too much trouble. Highly recommend

Absolutely lovely I came over the Humber absolutely shattered Thank you from tinys GB cycle ride

Very friendly staff great food at very reasonable prices

Pop in every week for a coffee and a sandwich. Great friendly staff, reasonable prices. Well worth a visit.

Lovely food and girls brilliant. Always smiling and make gorgeous cheesecake

Best brekkie in Britain. That's all you need to know

Great place to dine in whilst waiting for bus. Good value.

Visited as it said, "Best Brekkie in Britton" in another review. Although it was good, the Reviewer obviously hasn't traveled much. Also, from a worker's point of view: As they don't open until 9, it's a late breakfast. I appreciate it's a small town, but there must be missed opportunities there.

Fantastic cafe. Food was delicious and staff were friendly

Nice little place for a toasties n chips. We did turn up as they were getting ready to clear to close but were happy to serve. Chips were lovely. Good food at good price.

Had lunch here. The decor and the lunch menu were very dated. Their home-made chips were good but the rest of the food was very average with no side salad or similar. The coffee was poor.

Thought I'd stepped into a Karen's Diner ... I've never met a ruder customer assistant in my life, I thought I was being filmed as a wind up but seems not, I have used this place loads as the food is great and normally staff are too.. maybe a change in ownership as I don't recognise them.. couldn't tell you what the food was like this time as I left before it arrived even though it was paid for. Two other customers remarked that they can be a bit funny in here sometimes, so that's me done, loads more places in Barton to eat good luck

Lovely cafe, food was absolutely delicious, the service was top notch, couldn't have asked for more ♥️

Great little cafe serving great food.

Awesome food, large portions cooked to perfection. Great welcome by great staff. Roomy and light along with a great atmosphere Great prices Cannot wait to move down here,

Excellent food highly recommended. Rang for 4 breakfasts to take away, was ready in ten mins and was delicious

Staying in area and popped in for brekkie as we saw it when passing . These ladies know their stuff - lovely fresh produce - sausages were delicious and not greasy whatsoever . Super value and good service

Love this place for a belly buster breakfast. Best breakfast around and very reasonably priced. Staff are awesome. Couldn't recomend the singing kettle in barton enough 5 🌟

Staying in Barton fancied a full breakfast and this was the place to go. Good food good prices pleasant staff

Great food friendly staff Recommend Breakfasts

We were visiting my husband's Dad in Barton and called in here for lunch first and I'm glad we did. The cafe has an immediate welcoming feel to it and the staff were very friendly. They don't skimp on portion size either, my husband had the quarter pounder bacon burger and chips and I had a cheese toastie with onion and tomato, which came with a side salad and coleslaw, both full platefuls. Both meals were hot and fresh and mine was the best toastie I've ever had in any cafe, very crisp and tasty. I wish we'd had room for the cheesecake which looked delicious, but there's always next time!

Our go too for all things breakfast related, amazing quality food and well cooked.

Great little cafe and even a free sausage fir the dogs

Another great visit to this place with my sister, I can not stop raving about this place never fails to impress me!!

A nice, friendly cafe, typically greasy spoon place, the food is ok, the usual fare.

Just how a cafe should be. Very welcoming. Staff are all great. Food is always spot on and very reasonably priced.

Ver good food and very pleasant service and good value

Lovely experience here, lovely staff, great service, great prices, and one of the nicest breakfasts I've had in a long time. It's a shame I'm too far away to visit again

Smashing food, nice place with friendly staff and good service, very reasonably priced.

Lovely little cafe with brilliant friendly service. I was staying in Barton for a messy weekend and the absolutely first-class bacon buns from the Singing Kettle completely staved off all ill effects

First time at the singing kettle.. what a little gem this place is. Food was excellent, freshly cooked whilst we awaited. The two ladies running are delightful. Will definitely come again 😋

Breakfast was really good. Sausages and hash browns were a particular highlight. Staff were friendly and attentive. Reasonable prices Hand dryer wasn't working in the toilet.

Great value and friendly service

Perfect breakfast lovely freshly cooked will return

Food was excellent, and usually i love this place buy today noticed the toilet was dirty with cobwebs filling the back wall making it difficult for my young daughter to use the toilet as she was worried spiders was going to be in webs. The floor and toilet paper was wet also. The food was really nice and most of the staff really friendly, was lovely seeing some of the little cute helpers too!

Lovely little cafe, staff very pleasant and helpful, great food with a varied menu

Lovely place... 3 of us dropped in today.. 3 x full breakfast... no problems.. recommended..

Cute cafe in the old part of town, just by the bus and train terminal. Super clean and greeted by super friendly staff. Also food is amazing, from traditional breakfasts to toasties, burgers or shepherds pie and all the trimmings. Not to mention the fresh brownies/cheesecake and a proper coffee machine.👌

Very reasonable cafe. Excellent service

Amazing food and even better service! Had a medium breakfast each and they were huge. Really good quality ingredients, delicious :)

Went with friends, staff very pleasant & helpful, food was excellent, well worth a visit.

A little gem of a place, very hard working staff. The kind of small business we all should be supporting

Had a lovely lunch, delicious food, friendly service, very pleasant indeed

This is one of our favourite places in our hometown for breakfast. We both chose the medium sized full breakfast. All the ingredients were good quality, freshly cooked and nice and hot. Service was friendly and we were even treated to some free singing. £12 for two substantial breakfasts and 2 cups of tea is a bargain

Excellent breakfast bap and very helpful people

Very friendly and helpful in these times.

Nice clean friendly not forgetting decent food

Called in 14th October 2020 while out cycling with Pals. Very nice little Cafe in town. Very nice food and a latte. Staff where great, very good service, we will be back 👍👍🚴‍♂️🚴‍♂️🚴‍♂️

Singing kettle cafe ... We love you ....love the food ...love the staff .

Do not reccomend. It is not just a coincidence the two occasions myself and family have ate here we have became very sick shortly after. Staff are lovely I dont like to be negative however it has put us off from dining here again.

Lovely breakfast and attentive staff. I work in Barton and it's the first time I've been and will definitely be back.

Went with four friends in August. Coffee was lovely but the food was not freshly prepared. One friend had sweet chilli chicken and it tasted like pre-packed chicken with cheap bottled chilli sauce on it. Soup was good and chips were fresh. It was all OK, but just OK. A place for a quick bite and nothing too special.

Just had a lovely late breakfast. Social spacing adhered to and scrupulously clean. Tastey cooked to order food. Highly recommended

Singing kettle is one of the best cages in Barton, north Lincolnshire, England, Europe... And THE WORLD!!!

Had lasagne and my friend has pork stakes lasagne was a bit cold and the pork stakes was tough and chips wasn't very nice. Isn't the best place in the world and generally it was a bit underwealming ☹️

I always enjoy the singing kettle. There are many cafes in this world, in this county and in Barton, but Singing Kettle is top tier for breakfasts and friendly staff.

The mixed scones with jam & cream were LUSH - Thankyou so much! Blueberry, raspberry, lemon....but cherry is my favourite. Very easy and quick to order and pay online. Easy collection. Lovely, helpful staff. Thank you so much, they were a much needed treat.

10/10 , nothing more to say really. The staff are very friendly and hospitable. Would highly recommend this little gem within the shadow of the Humber bridge.

Four of us stopped of here for lunch. None of us were disappointed. Friendly staff, quaint inside, great food. We had jacket potato with coronation chicken, cheese burgers and for vegetarian chips, eggs & beans. Food was well presented and piping hot. Service was quick. Not sure about americano coffee being served in a tall glass though. We paid by card. Definitely recommend The Singing Kettle.

Great service by cheerful staff. Good value for money.

Quick friendly service good food

A spur of the moment decision to stop and have a bit of breakfast on a busy day was possibly the best thing I did yesterday! Never been here before, though driven past a hundred times. The food was nothing short of perfect and the staff fast and friendly. We will definitely be calling in again. Well done to you all for providing great service with gorgeous food at very realistic prices. Thank you. 😊👍

I moved to barton in September and the singing kettle is my ‘go to’ for food,, the staff are lovely and the food is great. The decor is a bit dull and it’s hard when you have a pushchair because there’s nowhere to put it when you sit down. But besides that, I love it.

Nice friendly atmosphere inexpensive food served by lovely staff Becky, Leigh, Alisha,Stacey and cheeky kateland

I often come here on a Saturday morning for a hang over breakfast, the atmosphere and the staff are lovely! The food is amazing (the best cure). Definitely recommend!

Visited today. Staff were lovely and friendly... as they have been every other visit I have ever made. Food was hot, yummy and even slimmers friendly. Everything I expect from a small town cafe... clean eating area, yummy food and great staff!! 100% recommended!!!

Letting a single person sit at the only vacant 4 seat table when there are 2 seat tables available is not good for business, won’t try again, went elsewhere
