Thornbirds Cafe in East Riding of Yorkshire

Excellent friendly staff and a great service and great food

Friendly, helpful staff; great surroundings; food excellent and no one rushing you to get out and free the table up. The full English breakfast is excellent. I'm a regular during the week. Highly recommended and popular with our local Police Officers! ** Update 10/10/23 ... still great, no change!**Update 20/10/24. Still great, no change!

Great little place with lovely home cooked food and home baked cakes and puddings 🍮

Todays visit was mine and my husbands first to this lovely place, we were given a voucher for Thornbirds for a Christmas gift and we are really happy to say that our first visit will definitely not be our last. Totally fantastic, we both thoroughly enjoyed our meals. My husband had a delicious chicken and pasta salad with a baked potato..and I had the special of the day of cottage pie with Yorkshire pudding and garden peas, cauliflower and carrots with delicious gravy, we took some sweet treats with us to enjoy at home as we were full after our meal. The staff were lovely and polite and the service was second to none. We can also now declare that our sweet treats were really, really lovely too as we have just eaten them, very nice….we will be back! Thankyou. 😋

The sandwiches we ordered (a bacon sandwich and a bacon, sausage and cheese) were very tasty, as was the chocolate concrete cake too😁

Awesome clean place as staff so busy cleaning they forget to serve the customer

Great little cafe, the sausages are really nice and very tasty, breadcakes are spot on also.

It’s a lovely tradition cafe / restaurant with a lot of Charme. The people who work there are very friendly and made us feel welcome. Well.. and for the food: see for yourself. You’ll get a damn good breakfast for your money. This was a great start for our journey to Scotland. Highly recommend!

Nice little cafe, good honest food,a nice cup of tea as well. Definitely going back.

Lovely breakfast fast friendly service Highley recommended 5☆☆☆☆☆

Popped in today for 4 take away butties, really nice and served quickly. Good priced, will use again when passing :)

What an absolute gem of a place this is. The owner and her daughter and staff are so nice. Food is always on point and delicious. Will keep going back back.

The type of place where everyone knows everyone. There was a couple of women sitting at the table next to us who kept staring and listening to our conversation. This made me feel uncomfortable. There wasn't much choice for vegetarians so I had a jacket potato, cheese and beans. It was a big portion however the beans were nearly cold and the potato was hard.

Visited this cafe after a long walk .Ordered coffeand cake and askd for a glass of tap water. Given a long lecture by the owner about how I shouldn't expect to get tap water for free. This made me feel very uncomfortable. Will not visit again.

Be nice to see a note on the door when deciding to close for the day/week

Excellent service and food 1st time there won't be the last 😀

Had a lovely breakfast here, all well cooked , good service , staff friendly , all in all, excellent.

Beautiful home cooked food, staff can't do enough for you, would highly recommend

We pop in every month for a breakfast. Staff are lovely, food's amazing and the cafe is really cute.

We were in the area wanting somewhere to eat came upon the cafe we called in, it was very inviting, friendly staff ready to serve we had a large breakfast, didn't have to wait long , a lovley plate of hot food couldn't fault it at all, ended up taking 2 homemade scones with us all in all a lovley place well worth a visit thanks

Excellent food and good portions

Very nice food but £10 for a large breakfast and a cup of tea and a can of pop i thought was pretty expensive

Excellent food and friendly staff

Great cafe friendly staff and great food.

Very friendly staff and great food, would definitely recommend

Lovely cafe which does a great, tasty breakfast.

Popped in for a coffee and toasted teacake after visiting a local car boot sale. Very clean and comfortable with pleasant helpful staff.

Stopped on our way out with our huskey kaiser. So helpfull accommodating outside for us. Had yummy bacon sandwich and very yummy sausage and mushrooms one. Would recommend any time. Easy parking around the back. Thank you.

Excellent breakfast, easy parking round the back, lovely and clean, nice decor, good menu. I had a breakfast and a coffee. It was delicious and the service was excellent.

Excellent nice coffee good food and pleasant staff

Welcoming staff and environment. Great food and value.

We had an Absolutely beautiful Afternoon tea to take out what the lovely cafe owner had prepared for us after pre ordering! Wow what a treat, the photos speak for itself! The cakes were stunning and all home made! Will definitely return and recommend! Ignore any bad reviews! Superb service!

Very nice breakfast and a cracking lemon crumble cake for afters

The Hubbie and I visited today for breakfast. We rang ahead to make sure they were open, due to Covid affecting opening times etc. They open at 8.30 even though Google says they open at 9am (their website says 8.30am). There’s a car park behind the cafe which was ideal for us. I had a large breakfast and Hubble had a small breakfast and they were very accommodating in swapping out a few things on the small breakfast. All the staff were very friendly and were hygiene conscious. It was good that they had a loo too, as we had a long journey home ahead of us. It’s 3.30 pm now, and I’m still not ready for my lunch!

Lovely food in nice surroundings

Good friendly service lovely food xx

Friendly clean and excellent food and service.

A spot on breakfast had excellent staff and nicely priced well worth a visit

Lattee & teacake was lovely, well clean & staff very friendly, even though was busy, we soon was served

We had a lovely Christmas lunch today and without exception all five agreed it was brilliant all round with large plates of food which were delicious. The staff were amazing and so helpful. We will definitely be going again on a regular basis

Highly recommend. Very friendly staff and excellent food.. superb !!

It's a great little cafe with good food and a pleasant atmosphere, ask for the mad blonde woman in the kitchen,ask her how many different types of sausage she sells I believe there is a real good verity.

Excellent as always and great value

Food was very nice and for a reasonable price.

Great place , service and food excellent

Awesome home cooked food lovely staff and very clean

Great value, home cooked food. Substantial menu and friendly service

Seven of us met for lunch and it was the first time we had been to this place. The experience didn't bode well when I was refused a glass of tapwater - the others all had coffee or soft drinks. I ordered a salad which turned out to be very bland and basic. Three of us asked for mayonnaise - we were given a small pot to share. I got the impression that economy was key and therefore quality and quantity were not important in this establishment.

Lovely food very reasonable prices

Lovely, friendly atmosphere. Very clean and tidy. .. good food. Will recommend to anybody. Keep it up girls.

Brilliant breakfast lovely staff

Just had a wonderful high tea.Service and food excellent.

Quite often have breakfast here the food is excellent and the staff are friendly and helpful

Delicious home made food. Try the Breakfast Bap. 5 star

Good home cooked food ,friendly staff clean environment x

This is the most fantastic little place ever. The food is amazing and so well cooked and presented. I had a quiche salad. It was the best quiche I ever tasted. My husband had an omelette and this was brilliant too. The staff we extremely friendly and nothing was too much for them. We will be back

OK first I'll start with the breakfast Large breakfast 5.75 4 slices off mushroom (half a mushroom) Blackpuding undercooked Sausages slightly pink low quality. Bacon well done but actually how I like it. Hash brown soggy mess didn't eat. Poached eggs as expected. OK so 5 of us arrived as working the small village this cafe is in so decided we would have our morning meeting in the cafe over breakfast. 4 off us ordered the works fith member declined as he suffers with crones and had already eaten his special diet. The guy with the medical condition was asked to order or LEAVE and was pressurised into ordering as he took up a seat at our table! I'm sorry but no one else was going to join us at our table it wasn't exactly busy. Unkown to them he was actually the one paying for us all. When leaving an extra pound was added to each of our orders we realised when we tallied up. AVOID THIS PLACE RUDE LOW QUALITY AND HAPPY TO OVERCHARGE WITHOUT SAYING OR ASKING IN ADVANCE. AND THE FOOD IS POOR.

Spot on cracking food and service.

Absolutely lovely food and good portion sizes. Lovely staff

Stopped on the way to work. Lovely fresh bacon and egg sarnie and a cuppa. Friendly staff. Welcoming and clean cafe. Well worth a visit.

Excellent value and lovely service

Brilliant breakfast, well cooked and hot, tasty and plenty of it even in the small breakfast. I had the large one which is very good value and I am stuffed :) Highly recommend this place.

Consistently, excellently cooked and presented food. Comfy village tearoom,friendly staff owner run. Nothing too much of a problem to cook if it is available. Eat in or take away available.

As always lovely friendly staff and excellent food with good service.

Very nice food, very pleasant staff.

Great service and prices - thank you :-)

We called in this cafe on the way to Spurn and ordered the large breakfast with a cup of Yorkshire tea. A large breakfast soon appeared, with two rounds of toast, on a hot plate. The breakfast was beautiful and slipped down a treat. It set us up for the rest of the day. The cafe is spotless and clean with a very friendly owner. The cafe is obviously popular although it is really off the beaten track but it is well worth visiting at any time of day as the menu is extensive.

Bang on breakfast. Always very welcoming and accommodating of my kids too. Never had a bad thing from there.

We were 3 adults and a toddler first impressions , good spacious car park to the rear, lovely premises clean and bright. Very helpful member of staff , high chair provided. We ordered breakfast and drinks. Found the menu to be good and varied with veggie options with lots of choice and very good value for money. Breakfast came with toast and the tea and coffee is served in big breakfast cups. Food was fresh of good quality and piping hot. Staff are all very friendly and efficient even providing a few toys for the toddler to play with so all in all cannot recommend enough. We will be back to try the lunch menu. Photos are of a large breakfast and a breakfast bap which was huge. Three breakfasts and 6 drinks under £25 .

Lovely little place.With friendly staff and a very reasonably priced menu.

Great food with fantastic service and ample parking to the rear of the premises

Lovely cafe with a vintage vibe, friendly staff and a great menu, and at prices you can afford! Very generous portion sizes, we wanted pudding but had no room after our lovely meal, so we took it home with us instead to eat later. They do a really good takeaway menu too. Looking forward to visiting again soon.

A good place to relax and recharge after a hard day cutting grass.

Lovely small cafe/restaurant on the outskirts of hull offers a wide range of food with friendly staff

Every time I travel to the North East I make a point of having at least one breakfast here. Top quality products, large portions and very friendly service. Best in the area

Clean, friendly, great coffee and bacon n egg bap.

Gorgeous little gem of a cafe on thorngumbald main road, car park around the back also which is handy! Plenty of seating, variety of choice for food, I recommend the breakfast or panini with a cake or sweet for pudding!! Chocolate Concrete with custard and best caramel slices in town!! Cafe decorated lovely with a vintage chic feel! Staff are always efficient and friendly! Big portion sizes and good kids menu! Local to me and a regular visitor!

Called here for the first time the other day with friends, for a spot of lunch. Nice cosy atmosphere to the place and the service was good. The menu was pretty varied, plenty of choices and reasonably priced. I'm afraid that my panini came out pretty thin and rather hard. I couldn't get my teeth through some of it. We all agreed that the food was ok but nothing more.

Great little cafe, good breakfast, best cooked bacon I've had for a long time, friendly staff, cash only at time of review.

Lovely breakfast lovely staff brilliant service nothings too much trouble overall great value for money too

nice friendly atmosphere. cakes are to die for, old school buns, cornflake pie, chocolate concrete. full english, superb just to much to finish. eat in or take out. Chef is more than happy to do anything different to menu to please the customer. vegetarians catered for and gluten free products. delicious

Called in had a lovely hot pasta salad very friendly good off road rear parking catered for my husbands fussy eating.

New kid on the block,,, former Post Office now a café for the populous... thought we would give it a try for Breakfast. Food was good and reasonably price for the plateful we were served however the staff worked on assumptions... assumptions that we wanted milk in our tea and coffee and assumed that we liked/wanted brown toast!
