Twyfords in Waveney

Lovely little Cafe in the centre of Beecles. Went with friends whilst on a boating holiday. Service is excellent, and the food (especially the Suffolk B Breakfast) was great quality, tasty and well cooked. Later in the day we also had Tea and Cake in The Secret Garden at the back and this outside space is lovely.. Highly recommended

Amazing breakfast!! what a lovely cafe this place is. The staff were attentive and friendly. The breakfast was hot and delicious and certainly great value for the quality. The coffee was gorgeous too!

Popped into Beccles on way home from holiday. This cafe is lovely with vintage decor, friendly staff and excellent food. Sadly we had already eaten, and just had a coffee, but the breakfast looked amazing.

Cooking and quality of food poor for the prices you pay. Ridiculously expensive for what you get. Could not eat my over cooked dry scrambled egg and mass of broken bits of packet crispy bacon. Sorry but unless I hear of a change we won’t be back.

Beautiful venue and great food. We sat on the terrace overlooking the garden area. Very friendly and welcoming staff too.

Lovely little cafe with a varied menu and strong coffee. Smoothies were fabulous, ice cold and tasted freshly blended. Continental plate had the biggest croissant ever seen. The granola with fruit and coconut yoghurt was delicious (vegan). Couldn't see any gluten free options on the menu so perhaps it's a separate menu as there were some gf brownies (£3 per brownie to take away!). Marked down a star as it was a long wait to give our order and then be served. It's a pricier cafe and so I would have expected the details to be right. No spoons provided to eat with and no one around to ask so had to use the teaspoon from the coffee. Tiny bit of butter for the breakfast which barely covered the amount of breads given. They forgot to bring the water we'd asked for. Minor quibbles perhaps, but it matters. When paying, we weren't given the bill to check and it seemed rather expensive for what we had.

Good quality coffee and delicious cheese scone. But £16.40 for 2 flat whites and 2 cheese scones seems ridiculously expensive

We arrived in Beccles after a 10 mile walk from Oulton B-road and we needed food! We have been here once before and it didn’t disappoint. We went in and were welcomed straight away. They found us a table for 2 and we sat down within a couple of minutes. Maria was our waitress. She was so welcoming and friendly. We ordered the steak ciabatta and I wanted a jacket potato. However, I was a little fussy and asked for no butter and the dressing in a dish. I apologised and Maria said - no don’t apologise it has to be right for you. The food was first class. It tasted so good! We didn’t have time for cake so my husband got an amazing piece of coffee and walnut to have when we got home. It really was a lovely lunch. Thank you to Maria.

When in Beccles always make a beeline for this fabulous venue. Never had any disappointment in the past and thoroughly recommend it. The ambience is very comforting and they always appear very busy which surely is good for business. The menu is varied and they cater for all diets. The food is delicious.

We used to LOVE this place but it has been going slowly downhill for a while now. The food isn't a patch on what it used to be and is ridiculously priced for what you are served. Todays offering was a chewy steak ciabatta that i couldn't bite through (returned for refund) and a half empty club sandwich haphazardly put together. All very disappointing. The staff are friendly and helpful although i think they may of forgotten us as we waited over 20mins for the food and other tables were served their food a lot faster. All in all not a good experince and we will not be returning. Pity.......what happened Twyfords???????

Visited last Saturday...great food but not as welcoming as usual. Waitress would not let us sit in the window as she said it was only for 2 & there were 3 of us..no apologies & there clearly was enough space & a chair nearby that we could have used. Otherwise, all good & am sure we'll be back.

We’re locals and Twyfords is without doubt the best place to eat in Beccles. We average once a week and it’s always very good food.

Always a favourite of mine when visiting the area but went today to finally try their afternoon tea. First off it’s nice that you don’t have to book in advance like most places. We were seated in a very timely fashion by a very friendly member of staff. She took our order and as we already knew what we were having it was dealt with quickly and efficiently. After a few moments the lovely staff member popped over to offer us a an alternative afternoon tea (the original one we ordered didn’t have exact sandwiches/cakes etc and was left to the chef to decide what we were having, which I liked the idea of!) but on the second one offered we had an exact menu of what we would be getting. We opted for the slightly more expensive second option and I am so glad we did. Everything was delicious. And whoever had the idea to put cranberries, chickpeas and walnuts together in a sandwich deserves a huge pat on the back! That combination just should not work and as I normally don’t eat chickpeas or cranberries I didn’t expect to like it, but, it was the best sandwich I have ever had. It was a bit on the expensive side but I would happily pay that again as it was evident the time and effort that went into it. We left satisfied and very full! Friendly staff and a lovely atmosphere and definitely worth a look!

Tea was very tasty but then it is expensive so it should be. We upgraded from crisps to fries with our panini but it wasn’t worth the extra £3.95 for about a dozen skinny fries which were basically under the salad. We did tell staff who said they would advise the kitchen.

Found the menu to be not that extensive but very overpriced for what you get, over £40 for 4x toasties & tea/coffee. Even then one of the toasties hadn’t been ordered so had to wait whilst others ate

This place is lovely, front if house team very pleasant and service is quick. Love all the old decor and keeping things original. The menu is varied, enough to please most people. The wagu burger was very good and although busy we didnt have to wait that long. The only slight glitch are the limited toilets, although this is obviously due to the size, shape and space available. They are clean and stocked well so not a massive problem to wait a few minutes for one to be free.

I ordered a local continental breakfast which was delicious - it came with locally made preserves and a huge croissant. Unfortunately, it was served on a huge platter with no plate to actually eat from. The preserves were in silly little cups made from some sort of wafer that were so light you had to hold them down to stop them lifting up with the knife when you scooped up your marmalade! A traditional serving with ramekins or jars for the preserves with a teaspoon to scoop them up would be far preferable. And where was my plate?

Twyford's is *the* place to go for excellent food, beverages and a homely atmosphere. The choclatier part of the business is a delicious introduction to the premises (try to resist temptation!). The local continental breakfast was amazing (although I could have done with the preserves being in proper china pots, rather than tortilla pots (too difficult to use!). Otherwise faultless!

Breakfast was very tasty [full english and eggs royale], quick attentive and friendly service and not too badly priced. Really good coffee too, in an amazing atmosphere.

Always warm, welcoming and friendly service; great food and drinks; delicious cakes and take-away food too.

Went for Brunch using Twyfords as the meeting point with friends for brunch before shopping Will do so again.

The restaurant is presented absolutely beautifully, best coffee ive ever had & absolutely fantastic food.

We both really enjoyed our lunch. Nice atmosphere & friendly staff. Highly recommend to family & friends.

Full English breakfast spot on. Porridge with berry compote awesome too food lovely and hot. Excellent customer service. Reasonable prices. Staff were very friendly.

I haven’t been in awhile as moved away. But you were the half way point to meet a friend for lunch. Not changed in the way of food still amazing and great staff. Only criticism is, the music was a little loud so we didn’t...

Stopped in for a quick lunch on a day trip to Beccles. Excellent food and coffee for lunch and friendly and attentive staff. Would highly recommend.

A little gem in Beccles - great food and drinks, beautiful cakes to take away, and friendly service.

Stopped for a bit of breakfast, friendly staff and lovely atmosphere but very overpriced…surprised to be charged £9.50 for poached eggs on toast.. Sadly won’t be returning.

Absolutely brilliant service and fantastic welcome staff. Was incredible food and well worth the money!!!

Went early and service was very good. Happy to make a few changes to the meals when asked and were very accommodating generally. Food was very good. Well worth a visit

Very good friendly staff as always usually try to visit when we are in Beccles Good and varied selection on menu and a nice selection to take away as well ideally situated in the town centre

A day visit a Good meal But did not like the aggressive tipping pointers given by the staff when coming to pay put me of going again

This was second visit after finding the place by chance during a broads visit in 2021. We brought our friends this time. We had a delicious big breakfast but one of our friends had poached eggs on toast which we were charged £9.50 for which...

fancied breakast and it was 5 minutes to 12 noon - waitress came over and i ordered 2 coffees and said i just wanted to look at the menu. 12.02 she came back i ordered 2 full english breakfasts - she said she would have...

On the hottest day of the year, we had a craving for a couple of true continental iced coffees. Asking at the counter if they sold such a thing, a charming young lady said she hadn’t heard of such a drink. When we described the...

Lovely to visit again . We were given a voucher for Christmas . The food is always high quality and offers the alternatives I like

Staff friendly and quick service. Disappointed about cost and quality. £4.95 for a milkshake! £4.55 for a child pancakes! Then £10.50 for Egg Royal where the salmon was poor quality (almost impossible to cut,) and instead of a savour muffin style bread a sweet brioche...

Lovely outdoor eating area, great choice of coffees. Knowledgeable staff member who gave very clear directions to avoid road closure, so took away my stress about getting to Southwold. Many thanks!!

Came to Beccles as part of a holiday in Norfolk and remember going to Twyfords as a child for their fancy hot chocolate. Ordered two coffees (mine decaf), a Bakewell tart and salted caramel cake. Twyfords was busy, but there were lots of space and a breeze from outside which was nice. The plastic screens to distance in respect of Covid were good and created a private space to talk and feel safe. The service was poor and our order took over half an hour to get to us. We were told it was as they only have one coffee machine and it was busy. For the size of the restaurant - maybe two coffee machines are needed to process the orders. The decaf coffee was nice, although we weren’t asked if we wanted sugar. My mum said hers was Luke warm. The cakes were lovely. However, for £5.95 for the salted caramel cake I’d be annoyed if it didn’t taste good. Nice to reminisce from my childhood but would only go to reminisce as it’s on the pricey side - £16.40 for two coffees and two cakes.

Called in for a coffee and light lunch, well organised and good range of foods. Quick service and staff friendly

Social distancing of tables poor. No ventilation or fresh air. Place crowded so a breeding ground for Corona Virus.That aside overpriced and poor value for money.Even a one star rating is generous.

Indifferent service and a longish wait. The pancakes were greasy and awful with cheap offcuts of ham on top...it looked messy and although the eggs were nicely poached it was not nice at all as a dish.... £13 and a very bitter tasting coffee! The pastry counter looked nice but many were £3 50 or £4 each. II won't be going back.

Like a lot of places that charge other the top prices it wasn’t worth it. Tea was not particularly hot. My husband thoroughly enjoyed his cake £3.85 should be great but lemon drizzle cake dreadful. Stale cake with thick buttercream and not sharpe or lemony. Won’t go there again.

Shame we had to have a take away and didn't realise there was a seating area out back. Lots of choices here for everyone.

This cafe had a very quaint and pleasant garden seating area. The cakes here looked delicious but the coffee was overpriced and very average.

Really great food, drinks and service, COVID-19 protocols were well observed and politely enforced, very safe and secure environment

I stayed at the Airbnb and had breakfast at the café. Staff were very helpful and cheerful, The food was delicious and they are flexible too. Definitely recommend.

My husband ordered a takeaway afternoon tea for us to enjoy for my birthday. As I am currently breastfeeding our son who is allergic to milk and eggs Twyfords provided a vegan option for us which was all beautiful and delicious! He tried a few other places which were not able to cater for my dietary requirements so we were very happy and impressed with the service offered by Twyfords! They were very helpful and accommodating and I would definitely recommend

Stopped off for a takeaway coffee and brownie but found the coffee to be only warm and the brownie to be rather tasteless so all round left feeling disappointed.

ordered an afternoon tea for my mother she absolutely loved it very good value for money would reccomend

Attended again and asked for pot of tea Menu displayed £1-50 Yet again charged for speciality tea at much more Time the Weights and Measures unit made a visit

Requested a pot of tea for one and a toasted tea cakeTea priced at £1-50 but charged £3-10 for Twyfords blend teaTea cake £3-75 dry and tastelessTotal cost over £6-00I will NEVER SET FOOT in this place againRip off BritainAvoid at all costs

'Full English' fry up: three rashers of bacon, baked beans, two hash browns, slice of fried bread, two sausages, mushrooms (no black pudding) two eggs cooked to your choice (I chose poached and they were well prepared). Service attentive and friendly. Overall good enough - but I rate as expensive (£10.50 for the breakfast, £3.00 for what i judge to be a small Americano.) Perhaps i haven't moved with the times but £10 total for a full breakfast is as much as I wish or expect to spend.

We love to go to Twyfords and do so regularly. The garden is beautiful at any time of the year. The breakfasts and cakes are lovely and they really understand gluten-free food and what it means

Warm welcome from the attentive staff. Good selection of quality food and drinks in comfortable surroundings. And wonderful cakes !

Great place as being vegan I can have a choice of a couple of cakes! Good coffee and perfect location in Beccles

Visited Twyfords for the first time whilst visiting the area and was not disappointed.Staff followed Covid-19 guidelines throughout the cafe.The food was lovely, hot and plentiful we had the Big Breakfast and a Cheese and Ham Panini.I would definitely visit again in fact I cannot wait

Lovely service. Covid friendly. Gorgeous cakes and coffees!! Even took a Lemon Meringue tart back for grandma and grandad on the boat 😊

Walked in today was asked to wait which wasn't a problem Waited 15/ 20 minutes still waiting a couple left but only to find another couple had been moved after they where already sat at a table and we still kept waiting clearly these people need to get there priorities right we did end up walking away having waiting for so long don't waste ya time Not happy at all 29/9

Twyfords is great example of a thriving traditional English cafe, offering a good range of drinks,cakes and light meals. Our food was delicious and clearly made from first class ingredients. Staff were friendly, helpful and efficient. Good covid precautions were evident. Prices are good bearing in mind the standard of food served.

Had a nice cup of tea and cake Very popular place worth a visit . The lunches looked lovely and they had lots of outdoor seating as the weather was great .

Have used twyfords many times for a drink and spot of lunch. Staff good friendly and helpful. Food always well presented and cooked. Cakes lovely and all reasonably priced

We eat here at least once and sometimes twice a week and also do takeaway. The food is excellent in such pleasant surroundings and sitting outside on a warm day is very nice. The coffee is really very good and the staff always helpful and friendly. They have made it safe too. YOU MUST TRY TWYFORDS

What a wonderful place. It was a lovely cafe My Eccles cake was delicious. The staff were attentive, polite, very friendly and Covid aware. If in the area I would definitely recommend a visit. I believe it also has a lovely garden outdoor area.

A bit expensive for what you receive, staff are quite friendly. The chocolates are delicious. I bought a cake to take home one time, I was looking forward to tuck in when the lady said you’ll have to wait about an hour as the cake is frozen, very strange!

Had an Anniversary gift of a Afternoon Tea at Twyfords, really looking forward to it as have been here several times over the years. What a disappointment, only 2 types of sandwich, cheese & pickle and chicken, both cut so thin that the filling just fell out so had to use cutlery, 1 very tiny party size sausage roll which i am convinced came from Greggs, a teeny weeny cake that came in a container that you would fill you ketchup in from Mc Donalds , and a very small scone that was defiantly not made that day . To top it all off, the Tea arrived well in advance and had 2 big tea bags inside which was far to many as the tea was almost orange as we poured it out,so much so that i had to take one bag straight out and top up the pot with the extra water.Really Really disappointed, have to add the service was excellent,staff very friendly, restaurant very clean,Sorry.

We had a pleasant lunch in this cafe. It’s not particularly cheap but you get a good sized meal for £10-14 or a snack for less. Loads of cake and dessert to choose from and good coffee. They have a few unusual choices as well as classics and cater well for vegetarians and vegans. So far so good... my only complaint is the service. Food arrived before drinks. Then 2 drinks came, I politely said we’d ordered 3 (one each) and was told there were only 2 on the order. I said I’d like a coffee and the lady said “I’ll have to put it through” as if it was a problem. It eventually came as we finished our food with no apology for the delay or mix up. Nearly £50 for a meal for 3, including 2 cakes.

Ordered a carrot cake for my dads 60th birthday & it was amazing. Ordered the cake a week before thinking I had left it to late to order but it wasn’t a problem. Next time I need another birthday cake I know where to go!

We waited outside before I was beckoned in by a super friendly member of staff. She cheerfully took our order for a couple of toasted sarnies. Popped back outside to wait and got a tap on the window in no time to let us know our food was ready. It was so good we went back for desert! Two superb gelato, delicious! Thank you and thank you for your excellent practices.

I went to Twyfords take away section and waited by the door as the notice instructed. The woman called me over,no smile, just a yes, felt awkward immediately. I ordered a scone to takeaway and the woman said do you want it now, I said no to takeaway please, she huffed at me and said it a harsh voice do you want it frozen or defrosted. After I had paid she said wait in the middle, not very clear so I said just here and she said rudely no over there. Not very clear instructions from her and she did not seem to want to be there. When she brought the food she threw it down on the table and said exit is there pointed and walked off. I was fuming when I got to my car already but when I got to the park I found the scone had not been buttered or cut in half just thrown in a bag. My partner found sesame seeds in his sausage roll and he said it wasn't very nice. We are regular customers to twyfords eating in and out but after this rudeness from the woman with the dangling earrings who spoke like she was on a fish market and the quality of the food we would have 2nd thoughts about returning.

Daughter and I went for impromptu lunch. It was busy but they spaced us out well. I had smoked salmon and scrambled eggs, she had cheese pannini. Both were delicious and came out quickly. The granary bread on mine was so soft and lush. We really, really, really like the illustrations on the menu / around the cafe.

A walk round Beccles and came across Twyfords cafe.Decided to eat in and have cake and cappuccino.Fantastic Victoria sponge and carrot cake.A little expensive to what we are used to paying but very nice.Friendly staff and would return if in the area again.

Felt totally unorganised people waiting at both entrances so hard to get out and also no staff wearing masks Or telling people what to do or were to go. Also some people not filling in the form for their details To be kept in case of outbreakWill not go again

Called in for a take away sandwich for 2, extremely disappointed could have gone to Greggs up the road for better, and no doubt cheaper. Happy to pay the bit extra if the food is good but sadly not in this case.

Too many cakes now are 'healthy' options. When you just want pure indulgence - this is the place to come.

Small tea pot, not enough capacity for two cups, small jug of hot water half filled the tea pot.poor selection of sandwiches, 3 egg mayonnaise 3 cheese and pickle. More suited to transport cafe. I commented to the waitress who did bring a further 3 tuna mayonnaise. 2 small scones with jam and cream, two very small fancy cakes. 4 raspberries 2 strawberries and 2 slices of melon. We certainly were not full when the plates were empty. Not good value for money, have had much better elsewhere, not recommended

This place is well known and understandably popular. It's decor and ambience is very welcoming, and the staff do a good job, especially considering the current restrictions. But I think its popularity in these tough times leads to problems, as staff struggle to keep up with demand whilst at the same time ensure both the customers & themselves stay safe.I think we will try to frequent less popular places from now until the pandemic restrictions are lifted, but will definitely return once things get back to normal.

During our holiday in Norfolk we visited Twyfords twice. I've said on previous reviews that we have to search for gluten free and when we find a good one it's such a bonus. The service was friendly and helpful. A range of dishes and drinks that were a bit different and a treat too.We bought some gifts from the coffee and chocolate takeaway. The chocolate wasn't gluten free but there were sugar cones that were! A happy surprise. A gelato or two were ordered.We had an enjoyable visit both times we went and would recommend anyone to give Twyfords a try.

Came to this cafe for a spot of lunch upon arrival we appear to have entered the wrong door to wait to be seated but there was no sign to indicate that. Staff not wearing masks & not a one way system in place as customers and staff all walking in and out the same door. When we got seated we had a drinks and food order taken. Our food arrived before our drinks & I finished my meal before Our drinks have even arrived at the table but yet other customers ordered drinks & had them before us even tho we ordered 10 minutes before them, When the waitress delivered our drinks we got no apology or nothing. Wasn’t happy with the level of service as we have dined here before & the standards have slipped especially when one of our drinks was a coke which was served out of the CAN!! & there charging £3.60!! Also this cafe isn’t “COVID secure” as I understand there is plastic screens at tills & on the bar but when the waitress or waiter clear the tables they don’t have to wear masks and neither do we....I think the staff should wear masks while clearing and taking orders from the tables.

The cafe stood out as we drove through the town. The breakfast was great. The service was friendly and helpful. It had well thought out anti-Covid systems. It was even better with the Eat Out to Help Out.

Met a friend for breakfast and a business associate for coffee here on the same - perfect venue for both. Great service, good menu and lovely vibe. the outdoor area at the back is fantastic

Went here at the weekend. Good points were that the food we had was very good and the two ladies that served us at the table were helpful and friendly. Bad points, the girl that we saw on arrival was unwelcoming and seemed put out we wanted to look at the garden area before deciding whether to eat in or out. Later saw the same staff member behaving in a similar manner with other customers so didn't take it personally. It's on the expensive side and we had to ask for the table to be cleaned.

I love twyfords, I love inside, I love the garden, I love their fresh own produced coffee , cakes, foods and their own Harris &James chocolate and chocolates !! Staff are friendly and lovely , so what is theirs to not love and pay a visit for !!My only disappointment today , was they have stopped doing their American pancakes with bacon and maple syrup !!

Really amazing service, great food and okay it’s not cheap but it is hand made and excellent so value for money tick!!! Well worth a visit as it is perfect! A real escape and they have got customer service nailed and great food, coffee & ice creams ( gelato ) out of this world .....

Top spot for a leisurely breakfast, with a varied and local menu. Courtyard garden was lovely, allowing for plenty of social distancing and relaxing backdrop. Staff friendly and attentive too, so overall would highly recommend!

We stopped in Beccles for a drink after visiting Norwich and found this tea room. At first it looked smallish but there is a really good garden out the back with clear portions between the seats. I had a home made toasted teacake and pot of tea while my wife had a home made bakewell tart and green tea. Both were really good and just what was needed

Visited with a friend for breakfast. Ordered a cappuccino & eggs royal. Eggs royal arrived before my hot drink. My eggs royal arrived warm not hot & it had no seasoning. No salt or pepper at the tables to add seasoning myself. Won’t rush back!

We were visiting the area and decided to look for somewhere in Beccles for lunch. First time we have eaten out since March and we were hoping for something with outside space. Hit lucky with Twyfords Cafe. Appealing frontage drew us in and the courtyard garden is lovely. It feels a bit strange with screens and all the other bits and pieces needed to make it COVID “friendly”. Good menu and we had some lovely sandwiches. Friendly staff too.

A lovely find. Staff were so welcoming. Food was great and the garden out the back is so tranquil. Check it out!

Central to lovely Beccles is this sharp and smart bakery style cafe. We eat in the impressive outside area which is beautiful. Food we had, share a sandwich was fine albeit £9.95 for a sardine with a few crisps and salad garnish is a tad on the high side. What spoilt an otherwise perfectly fine place is that it was clearly getting towards their 5pm close time. We were told in a way honoured someone would make our sandwich and while picking the crisps and salad the staff seemed desperate to take the plate away even though we hadn't really finished. Whatever the urgency to take their precious plate and clear up for 5pm was, ruined it for us and we wont return

We love Twyfords, the coffee is great, the food very good and an excellent ambience. The staff kind and friendly and full precautions have been taken so safe to eat there. We have bought cakes on click and collect and take away meals too during lockdown to support our local businesses and are delighted Twyfords are fully open again

Twyfords have opened as a takeaway service, and it's a welcome decision. I am a coeliac so can't have gluten, and they did a gluten free toastie and a gluten free cake box to collect, no fuss no problems. It's all delicious. My husband had the Philly Cheese Steak Baguette and thought it was excellent. Looking forward to ordering more soon!!

We stopped here as it looks amazing even from the outside but when you get inside and see the cake and sweet offerings wow! the cakes are really really good it was a little pricey but worth it the staff were really nice and friendly

Quality place to go for a coffee, snack or meal. always efficient and food lovely. Beautiful decor and ambience throughout, has a nice terrace/garden out the back too, for those warmer days!

Fast efficient and friendly service at the end of a busy day. Helpful staff with a pleasant smile. We only had coffee and chocolate torte ( not listed in the select a dish) both of which were good

We visit regularly as everything is always great , we would come more often if our very well behaved dog Sam was allowed. Your staff are always very friendly and helpful.

Love the vegan Options on the menu. I had the jacket potatoe with walnut and cranberry with vegan mayo a and vegan cake. friendly staff.

Popped in for lunch. We ordered the salmon with chips and salad . The sausages in ciabatta chips and salad. All was lovely. Coffee was only luke warm was only issue. Friendly staff.

Wow! What a great little cafe,me and my good lady found this place whilst wandering around beccles , we had a great selection of tasty meals to choose from even for a gluten free the choices were pretty extensive .Both meals came quickly and were well made and the young lady who served us kind and friendly and knowledgeable Pity it not in northants as I like to come back

I go to Twyfords regularly. Everyone likes it there: it has a fantastic display of cakes as you enter the cafe with hand-made chocolates and coffee also a speciality. It can get busy as it's so popular but there are many tables at the back and in the garden that you can't see when you first go in. What I like about Twyfords is the old-fashioned decor reminding you of the tailors that used to be in the premises, the up-market menu and the continental atmosphere. I like to sit by the window to watch the world go by as I enjoy tea and a light lunch!
