Welton's in Harborough

Popped in during a bike ride, we sat in the court yard, a very stressed and rude lady told us the court yard was closed, offered us nowhere else to sit and we showed very poor customer service.

I would say this was the best cafe/restaurant meal I have had in Harborough. Absolutely delicious! The photo below does not do it justice. Super friendly staff and I am looking forward to trying out the wine and deli night.

First visit tonight for the cheese and wine evening and we had such a lovely time. A really warm welcome with lots of deli items to try, presentation just beautiful and it was such a relaxing way to spend an evening. Huge range of wines, meats and cheeses and staff really helpful with choosing and steering us from all the choice. Will definitely return. Thanks again it exceeded expectations.

Excellent food with no fuss enjoyed in a lovely atmosphere, service with a smile we ate outside in the enclosed courtyard in the sunshine!

I took my Son and daugter in law to this lovely quintessential village store for a spot of lunch, we had a wonderful meal that was adapted for them as they are vegan, they both enjoyed it tremendously, as did I, with my non vegan meal. The staff were all extremely friendly and couldn't do enough for us. We also found the shop very well stocked and got a few bits to take home. Thank you Welton's.

What a lovely addition to Market Harborough's dining out choices. I had a lovely evening with friends. Delicious deli board of mixed cheeses & meats. It was great to be able to choose the cheese from the large display. Good wine choices too. Highly recommended, however booking is essential.

What a lovely surprise! This village Post Office is now also a fabulous deli and cafe, very welcoming, great ambiance and friendly team. But the food……..oh my gosh- I just had the most fabulous “Chilli, Jammy Eggs” the best thing I’ve tasted in a long time!! This is a destination Post Office!! I have already booked to eat here again soon with friends (I have told many of my friends about this already 😊). You have to try this - although it’s a small cafe and part of me wants to keep it my secret so I can always get a table!!

Went for the Friday wine and cheese evening- love that you get to pick your own cheeses. Each board is beautifully presented with a plethora of charcuterie, olives, nuts, fruit (love the fresh figs), crackers with a side plate of warm bread and butter. Then you choose your own bottle of wine from the large selection in store. A selection is also available by the glass. Highly recommend for a night out with friends, family or that special someone.

We booked the Friday night, Wine and Deli night. There were only 6 tables so if you to experience this event,call them and book it. You can not just turn up on the night. We were greeted by a gentleman who was polite and professional. He showed us to our table and gave us the food menu and the wine menu. He took time to explain how the choices work and recommended wines to go with the platters. You can choose cheese, meat or a mixture of the two. We choose the mixed. We then got taken to the cheese counter where we could choose the cheeses we wanted. When the board arrived it was loaded with our chosen cheeses and a large selection of cold meats. There was also a selection of crackers and bread sticks as well as the most amazing pickled vegetables. You also get huge chunks of bread on the side. The food was amazing, the service was impeccable and we even got a tub of the pickled veg to take home ( it was so good, I had to.ask for some more) Deli board for 2, 3 large glasses of wine, a lemonade and an espresso and the bill was under £60. Now, stop reading this, pick up the phone and book a table. You will not regret it.

Absolutely love this deli - the new Manager Nate has done an incredible job on the menus and also the layout of the store. Breakfast was a great take on the “traditional English” with quality and the unique homemade baked beans. Fabulous products on the store especially the locally grown flowers by Nicky from the Tiny Flower Patch. Highly recommended

Amazing undiscovered treasure - customized meals prepared with the finest ingredients, exceptional coffee. Utterly delectable.

Called in today for breakfast what a disappointment had 2 x full English , very small portions toast was rock hard sausage hard too bacon was so hard it would break teeth £24.50 for 2 of these with coffee and tea what a rip of will find somewhere else in future

I know prices of everything has risen , but £12ish for a small breakfast is ridiculous, ordered a full breakfast with a tea when it arrived I thought they had mistakenly took my order for a child’s breakfast absolutely disgusting for a village cafe to charge exorbitant prices for poor quality food which came out cold and some of it was inedible looks like we will be giving this establishment the wide birth and visiting there competitors across the road in future

This is our third visit to Weltons & it won’t be our last. The choice of menu is excellent the food was delicious & the portions were great. The store is very well stocked to cover all your needs. The staff are so friendly & helpful It made our lunchtime visit a pleasure

I had never been to Weltons deli before yesterday, but I know I'll be back very soon! The picturesque location was matched by this quaint British cafe, with it's warm and friendly staff making me feel so welcome. The manager is a gentleman named Dave who brings a lovely calming aspect to this beautiful establishment. My panini was wonderful with a side salad and slaw that is as good as I've ever had! I can't wait to come again and bring me family!

Went with two friends for breakfast today. Avocado on toast with poached eggs was absolutely faultless, a delicious dish that kept me full until teatime. I wouldn’t have changed a thing except it was a little cold in the conservatory. The tables are well spaced so I felt Covid secure. Thank you ladies.

My son and I called in here for coffee and cake following lunch at the Red Lion. I had the caramel apple cake and my son had carrot cake. I had a latte and my son had a coconut milk latte. We sat outside and it was a very pleasant.

Well since this last covid part lockdown myself & a friend or 2 have started walking twixt Market Harborough & the lovely Great Bowden. We started having a takeaway coffee each time & I must say it is without a doubt the best coffee around ( I take mine black so I should know ) we have been very lucky with the weather & usually sit on one of the benches on the green. We all (sad I know) love that the toilets are actually open here, unlike other local takeaways & always spotlessly clean. Being ladies of a certain age we like to use the facilities before moving on for our walk back, so a big thank you for enabling us to have a comfortable walk home!!! Covid seems to be a good excuse to close the toilets everywhere & I don’t get why!! Must also mention the staff are lovely & the shop sells a wide variety of goods for a small village shop, post office & cafe with lots of lovely gifts & festive items. Would say defo visit if your in the area & a lovely walk from Harborough.

Great five bean chilli and rice - really tasty all served in a friendly atmosphere. will come again.

Came across Weltons during a visit to the village. Situated across from the Church. Easy to find parking nearby. Great range of meals and snacks. Limited outdoor 'court yard style seating. Staff friendly and efficient. Food well presented and tasty. Great value for money. Weltons also has a small local shop attached.

This a little gem of a cafe tucked on the corner of the village green. Really friendly staff, alway welcoming. The coffee is great and tehre freshly prepared sandwishes and snacks are excellent. Great spot for a saturday morning coffee & breakfast.

We had an excellent full English breakfast with all the trimmings and a large coffee. Excellent service and value for money. Lovely little place.

great village shop ,deli, cafe, post office. friendly attentive staff. PO open from shop opening times & on a Sunday

Our favourite spot for a great coffee wonderful food and service. Not to be missed if your in the area or make a special trip! Always a good choice of specials on the board and a great place for a brunch/ lunch/afternoon tea. Try it you won’t be disappointed

Poor service again, coffee cold, won’t be going back. Clueless kids working there! Thought we’d give it ago after previous disappointment, however still no improvement.

Our meal was reasonable and the service for us was friendly but I was most upset by the attitude taken towards an old couple on an adjacent table. It certainly spoiled the meal for me. Another thing DO NOT order a milk shake - it's simply taseless milk with an additive which reminded me on the 1970's. The shop downstairs is excellent however and the cakes - which we didn't have - also looked great.

gorgeous little spot for breakfast, lunch, coffee and cake or just a soft drink. staff always friendly and accommodating to any requests, outside seating available and parking is available nearby. all of the food is delicious, will happily visit again and again!

We visited this lovely village on our way home after a night away. Amazing service...wonderfully friendly ladies and the most enormous breakfasts! Very tasty, perfectly cooked food, and fast and very friendly service. Do yourself a favour...visit!

First time eating in at Weltons, went with a friend, we both had the big breakfast, and very nice it was, there were other things on the menu, but seeing as it was before 12, we plumped for the breakfast, the staff were all very friendly, will definitely try and go back.

I am a local to weltons but don't use the cafe too much, (usually the shop)

There was no one here and we had to wait 30 mins for the food to come. When we asked if the food was coming and explained we had been waiting for a while, the dark-haired girl with very short hair (in the kitchen) rudely muttered we were only waiting 10mins. We heard this and responded that we actually had been there over half an hour. We have been going to Welton's for years but won't be going again!!

Lovely breakfast, nice and peaceful with a good atmosphere. Has a great menu for lunch aswell but I have not tryed it, I'm sure it's lovely

Evitar el dolor de M25 a partir temprano para tu viaje a Market Harborough y parada en Welton's a desayunar.

En primer lugar, la mozzarella, tomate y pesto panini es para morirse. Nunca he tenido una buena panini! ! El personal es amable, pero no esperes comida rápida. Para ser justos, esto no es un café de tamaño y que son muy populares. La pena llamando con antelación si quieres comer fuera. Aún así vale la pena el viaje increíble comida! !

Great place for the good old full English breakfast. Delicious local sausage, bacon and the works. Includes coffee or tea for the great price of £6.50. It's a must visit when in Market Harborough. Also excellent for lunch. Great staff too.

Great Bowden is a cute village and the post office doubles up as a tea shop. We had a light lunch jacket potatoes with home made chilli. We then had ice-cream and an apple crumble. The tea shop was clean, the staff were efficient and...

Called into Welton's to try this little cafe for the first time and was not disappointed. From the very friendly welcome to the quality of the food, it was a very pleasant experience. Well worth a look if you're in Great Bowden.

Han pasado para desayunar un domingo por la mañana un par de veces, y siempre me hicieron sentir bienvenido. El personal es amable, y el siempre desayuno Inglés es delicioso! Mi hijo siempre complica su orden (mono exigente que es), y nunca es un esfuerzo o una molestia para el personal encantador para acomodar.

Whether you want a full meal or just a cup of tea, Welton's is a little oasis in the centre of the village. Good quality food and friendly staff.

Excellent Monday lunch. Met up with friend for a catch up chat and meal. Two meals and desserts with long cool drinks come in for a fraction over £25.Not expensive, considering quantity, freshness and excellent service.Six people in the cafe when we arrived just after midday. Full when we left!*Gluten free options are available - but limited*Other allergens are handled in the kitchen and normal handling warnings are stated in the usual manner.You can then go onto completing your Post Office purchases etc after your meal!

I do love this place - it's not just the Village Post Office but a real treasure trove of a gift shop and a fantastic cafe. We've stopped off for their takeaway sandwiches and cakes before (try the Millionaires Shortbread), but having had our eyes on their breakfast menu for a while, today we decided to try it out and it was fab. Delicious cooked breakfasts with lots of options, and really good value. It's a good job I don't actually live in Great Bowden or my waistline would suffer considerably from over-consumption of their amazing sausage and hash brown sandwiches.

Fancy going to the Post Office for Breakfast, Lunch or Tea? This place is superb! 1st Class food and 1st Class service. Great menu and just such a lovely place.

Love this small and very friendly cafe, food is always of really great standard, specials board excellent, staff brilliant, and fabulous deli, with a lovely little shop, alway busy, need to book, but the ladies know we are timed to an hours lunch. Thanks see you Wednesday

Meeting an old friend, a lovely cosy place, soup of the day, has atmosphere and the staff are very pleasant, great menu, great deli, what a lovely little place! You must drop in, you will enjoy! K+k!!!

We have had lunch and coffee at Weltons several times a d it is always very pleasurable. The cofcee is good and the food very tasty and enjoyable.

New to the area, I had lunch here yesterday, with a few friends, a 7year old and a 3 month old baby, facilities are great, friendly staff, lovely little shop, post office and restaurant, the food was all homemade, absolutely delicious and great value too. Will definitely be returning frequently for breakfast, lunch or afternoon tea & cakes.

Great place, simply great... a pleasant stop on a weekly bike ride, the coffee alone is worth a stop off... but the home made cakes are just amazing. Calories galore, perfect fuel for the return trip to Northampton. Staff are always pleasant and attentive, the courtyard is a sun trap if you get the right weather, just bliss... I'd live in the village just to have this place near me

Just passing weltons and thought we would just pop in for a cuppa tea, very surprised at how lovely it was, very friendly staff nice cuppa tea and the cakes are to die for I even took home some cauliflower cheese for my tea,my god it was the best iv ever tasted

Always wonderful and friendly, we go so often they know our order :-) lunches are equally as good and everything is reasonably priced and freshly cooked to order

Myself and 3 work colleagues meet here for lunch every month and we always get great food and service.They have asked us to reserve a table so that they are able to accommodate us - it is always very busy. Great deli, post office and an ATM for those impulse buys!

This wasn't my first visit by a long way but not been for a while hence my review. Had Sunday breakfast with my daughter and as ever, was warmly greeted, served with a smile and cooked lovely food. This place has it all from groceries to tea towels and all sorts in between so good for a little browse after you've eaten. We both had the bacon, sausage and egg baguette and it was delicious, so obviously freshly cooked which is lovely. It was good to go back and great to take out a couple of slices of Rocky Road on my way out.

Great place to have in Great Bowden. They do everything really well, good food, coffee deli counter. Would definately recommend a visit.

From start to finish my experience of planning, ordering and eating the wonderful spread provided by Welton's was a joy. Nicky was prompt to answer my request and very helpful with her suggestions. The food was delivered to the destination stated at 9am on a Sunday morning! The quality of the sandwiches, tartlets, pies, samosas etc was excellent. It was all consumed with great relish and I would certainly recommend this service highly and will use Welton's again for further catering needs.

Great place for breakfast and lunches and they do fantastic picnics to order for those special days out...staff are all friendly and welcoming, i would highly recommend this place...

I absolutely love the salads in this cafe and the coffee is excellent. The staff are also really friendly and lovely. You won't be disappointed if u go here for lunch. Quality of ingredients is of a very high standard. I love this little place.

Found this while out doing a bit of exploring. Its a post office and tea/coffee shop. I had a pot of tea snd what can only be described as the best almond cake I have ever tasted. You can sit inside or out and the staff are lovely. It also has some produce to buy. Definitely worth a visit

The locals best kept secret! A wonderful Full English served with great coffee and very reasonably priced. Get there early because it does get busy.

What a great place ! The coffee was superb ....the professionalism and helpfulness of the young lady who seved us was second to none .....and the lasagne I took home for dinner was absolutely delicious !Can't wait to return ..... Lunch next time mmmmm !

This is a shop, deli, post office and cafe, the hub of the lovely village of Great Bowden, just outside Market Harborough.Serves breakfasts, light snacks, lunches, salads and cakes and good value for money. Good choice of hot and cold drinks including wine and beer. Also does takeaways. Movenpick ices are so yummy, especially the strawberry.Lovely little shop selling a variety of goods.Staff are so friendly and welcoming. Not to be missed if you are in the area

Situated in the nice village of great Bowden by the green is an unprepossessing building that houses a post office, a Deli, a cafe, art gallery gift shop, laundry and ...We went there for a late lunch after a recommendation, the food was fresh much if it locally sourced we had salads salmon and goats cheese, we cleaned both plates, bread is extra but good quality. Wine is by Stowells and reasonably priced, all drinks seem carefully chosen from high end producers. Good value pleasant service, cakes bakes and puddings looked inviting, but we did not try. Only disappointment was not too keen on the coffee. It is quaint, but good food, well worth the short detour, they also do breakfasts!Out door seating is available.

Can't believe no one has reviewed this place before! Really lovely village deli and café that serves excellent quality homemade food at breakfast and lunchtime, and a good range of hot and cold drinks, including wine, throughout the day. The menu is simple – salads, quiches, lasagne, etc – with generous portions and good presentation. Service is prompt and friendly, either in the conservatory or, in fine weather, outside in the little yard. Free WiFi is handy, as we occasionally use the café for lunchtime meetings. And when you've finished eating you can shop in the deli or use the on-site post office. Perfect!
