I met a work colleague here today 23rd May 2024 and we both had superb 1/4 Ib Burgers. Was freshly made, quality chips, salad, good Latte too. Service was excellent and was on the table within a few minutes. This was my 3rd time and had breakfast before, was there whilst my windscreen was being replaced nearby. Will recommend and be returning when im passing. Many Thanks

Ordered liver and onions. The onions were burnt and the the meal tasted like it was fried in overused fatty oil. Upset tummy soon after finishing the meal. A most disappointing experience 😕

We ordered 2 breakfast baguettes and on arrival we opened them, the presentation was so poor. It should have come with mushrooms and brown sauce came with neither, the sausages burnt and rubbery. You call to complain as this cost £10 each and told it's the Uber drivers fault, yet the Uber driver did not cook the food he just delivered it. I would not have even paid £5 for this let alone £10. Absolutely disgusting. Will not be using again avoid at all costs

I take a person with dementia there regularly and they remember what he orders and serve with kindness and a very friendly face! I wish other places were as good! A new restaurant by same family is opening opposite called Lezzet! Must try when open! Thanks the Alex Team!

We visited Alex's this week for a family brunch. We had not been before only live just up the road so decided to visit. We were not disappointed clean comfortable and lovely friendly staff. We all had breakfast and it was cooked to perfection and a very nice cup of tea. I guarantee you won't go hungry. Will go again. They do a varied menu covering breakfast and lunch.

I have to say I had a meal today with a work colleague. I ordered a chicken wrap for £4.50. Order bacon and cheese and a drink. £10.50 and the cheese was left out. The chicken was completely over cooked and really awful if I’m being honest. Tasted like it had been reheated from the day before. The staff were pretty good but over all very disappointing.

Give Alex a round of applause. The boss and staff here have created a modern version of the old favourite - the corner caff with generous helpings of the traditional favourites. We went about 10am and there were a wide range of breakfasts served efficiently in a friendly comfortable atmosphere. Obviously popular with tradies and locals when I was there and, I am told, popular with families at weekends.

Lucky I had a book and wasn’t in a hurry as I ordered a breakfast at 9.50 and it arrived, after several reminders, at…..11.35 Not a one off as the builders at the table behind me who had to get to work waited at least an hour for theirs…. I felt sorry for the two young waitresses who seemed at the mercy of a chaotic kitchen. It was an experience 🤣

I have been coming here at least once a week for nearly two years now (mostly with work colleagues) and the food is always the same. Clean, non greasy, quick, large portions and delicious. I usually have cheese and ham omelette with salad which is huge and very tasty. The breakfasts are also very good and Alex has just let me sample their new chicken kebab which was absolutely amazing. Will be having that again. They are also good with kids, I came here a couple of times with the family and they gave my daughter a great goody bag, a balloon and a lolly! Couldn’t fault them. Great place to eat all round

Stopped here for breakfast on a visit to the area. The staff were polite, friendly and helpful. Service was better than I have had in some up-market restaurants. I even noted that the manager went out of his way to help an elderly man to his seat and took the time to actually speak to him and see how he was. If only more places were to do this!Now to the food. It was good, but could have been better. I wasn’t taken by the sausages, seemed a bit cheap and small. Nice black pudding, good bacon, eggs, toast, mushrooms. Hash browns were also a bit cheapo and the plate was a bit swamped in beans. My biggest gripe is the tomato sauce, if what came out of the bottle has ever seen a tomato then I’m a monster from Mars with 3 heads.

Been using this cafe for years on and off, but since the current owners have been there it just keeps getting better. At times there are 10 person strong queues due purely to the good food at a reasonable cost and the cleanest cafe you will ever eat in. You won’t wait long as there are always plenty of well drilled staff to fast track your meal.

Have had breakfast here several times. The food is excellent and everything is freshly cooked. Plenty of vegetarian options although halloumi cheese would be a good addition to the menu. My only complaint is that the fried eggs are done in little round moulds which makes them a bit solid. However, I would recommend the poached eggs which are perfectly cooked and among the best I have had anywhere.

Visited for lunch with a business colleague. Service was quick and the staff were polite. I ordered an omelette and jacket potato and salad. The omelette was fresh and the best I’d ever had, the salad and potato were also fresh and extremely tasty. My colleague had a breakfast with chips, again it was huge and, I am informed, tasty and fresh. Even when I had a slight problem, (got beans instead of cheese on my potato), it was resolved quickly and without fuss.

I had heard many stories about this being a good place to go for a cooked breakfast, so I recently decided to give it a try. Put simply, don't go here unless you have an appetite because the portions are generous and a cooked breakfast will set you up for the rest of the day. Everything is cooked fresh to order: for £7 I received two eggs, back rashers, sausages and black pudding, alongside a portion of chips and beans. In addition my order came with two thick slices of buttered toast and a mug of tea. It was a delicious surprise and represented excellent value for money. On the downside, the Formica-covered tables were fixed to hard plastic chairs and clearly designed for thinner people than me, but they were spotlessly clean. There is also limited parking, but try to find a space and come to spoil yourself with a memorable Full English.

We found this little place whilst being on a flying overnight visit in Guildford to visit our niece who is at GSR. It is definitely one of those little hidden gems which accommodated our brunch need after a heavy night. The staff is helpful & friendly. The menu is varied with an immense choice to suit vegetarian, vegan & meat eaters alike. The food is freshly cooked and changes can be made to accommodate your taste (I swapped my chips for bubble & squeak with my Spanish omelette) and it is no bother at all. Prices are reasonable and is definite value for money. It can be quite busy and it’s worth booking a table if you are going at prime time.

Have been here numerous times over the years, and it has improved a lot (in decor and appearance) first time it was very much a greasy spoon type cafe but they have redecorated and revamped and moved away from that to a family friendly, clean cafe, the picture menus on the wall is a great idea with a huge choice of set menus, but the staff are more than happy to add or take away items from a set meal with no complaints, food is always cooked well and piping hot with the average 10 min or so wait, they do great coffees incl latte and cappuccino and the vanilla milkshake is to die for!!!! Their breakfast menus are served all day and you can mix and match to your hearts delight!!! Parking can be a bit hard as it's located on a main road but there are a few side streets located around, apart from that no complaints, staff are always friendly and well presented send cafe is kept nice and clean regularly.

I was travelling through Guildford and really wanted to find a place for breakfast. On the outskirts of town just when I thought I wasn't going to find anywhere I passed this place. I parked down the next side road and walked back.Firstly I was very impressed by the bright inviting interior. The menu is displayed on the wall behind the till and it's so extensive that it took a few minutes to take it all in. I chose one of the set breakfasts and it was served to me at a table in no time at all. It was an excellent meal and I was completely satisfied with it.I would definitely eat here again and would recommend it to anyone who wants a good hearty "full English".

I had the full breakfast with a fried slice, egg well done. The breakfast plus coffee was £6. The girls serving were really friendly, the cafe was clean and tidy too. It took about 10 minutes to receive my meal, not bad as they were very busy. The meal was piping hot, well laid out, and, the egg was well done. All in all a great breakfast experience.

We have been here several times for breakfast over the last few months as an alternative to the Woodbridge Road breakfast cafe under the rail bridge.It compares very well, with one or two bonuses. The coffee is quite a bit better and - what a treat - fresh-squeezed orange made in front of one.We had two breakfasts with two coffees and two good-sized glasses of fresh orange and the bill was only thirteen pounds something.Beat that if you can!!

Reasonably priced, average cafe grub. Good portions, beautifully presented by happy, cheery staff. My husband and daughter thought their scampi was ok, but would not order it again. My bacon, egg and chips was great, envious glances from husband. Not haute cuisine, but a pleasant experience. We will visit again. I want to rate this cafe between 3 and 4 stars. It merits more than an average '3'.....but it is very hard to say it is Very Good in all of the ingredient. It is cheap and cheerful, clean and friendly.

I really am upset at the terrible review by the previous person. I am wondering if he got the cafe muddled with the Woodbridge Cafe which indeed is awful and staff so rude. The staff at Worplesdon Road Cafe are always so polite and service is excellent as is the food. We have been coming to Worplesdon Road Cafe since it opened few years ago. We often visit the area and have high standards of hygiene and do not eat warmed up food. The Worplesdon Road Cafe cooks every breakfast to order. You place your order at the counter and pay and your drinks and food are then brought to your table. There are choices for breakfast of healthy options ie poached eggs or the full English. Each one is freshly cooked and brought to the table with a smile. Whenever we leave at least one of the staff shouts out "thank you". So I really think the bad review was given to wrong cafe.

This was once a really good cafe. The staff were very friendly, the owner was chirpy and it had a good local feel to it. It got to the stage where I used to give a £1 tip (20%) when ordering my food. Sadly over the last year the cafe has got steadily worse. They have expanded the cafe so it now includes a play area for kids. This is a good idea and its nice to see in a local cafe. However it seems like the financial implication of this addition has eerily a meant a reduction in customer service. To keep it brief, here are my experiences of my last five visits over a three month period.1. Ordered the omelette, chips and peas meal on their set menu. Received beans instead of peas. 2. Ordered eggs and chips. The eggs looked like they had been friend by a five-year old. Burnt round the edges and the yoke seemed to have vanished from one of the eggs. I am quite laid-back about how food is presented because I can't cook at all but it was difficult to not give a puzzled look at what appeared on my plate.3. Ordered a modest breakfast without the meat. Waited 25 minutes and watched people being served around me who'd been there 5 minutes and ordered hefty breakfasts. The staff forgot my order and quickly put together something.4. Ordered omelette, chips and peas again, saying 'peas' very loud and clearly. Guess what....I got beans again. Beans isn't even on the menu! How can they get this wrong all the time.5. Today's story I hate to report was that I had to wait almost 40 minutes for egg and chips. I forgot it took that long to make it. I know it was busy when I first walked in but most customers left almost as soon as I arrived. I asked staff twice what was happening and didn't receive an apology. I finally received the laughably sized portion at the same time as two people who arrived 5 minutes earlier got their full English breakfast. I didn't receive an apology from the waiter. In fact he didn't say anything at all. Charming. I actually said thank you to him as well. What a mug I am.On each of these occasions I tipped between 50p to £1 in advance. The service is shocking. Their loyalty is shocking and the owner seems more preoccupied with doing his very best to please new customers at the expense of older ones, who he knows will just come time and time again. Well sorry Mr Owner, I for one won't be coming to your establishment ever again. The fact that nobody even gave me an apology today was outstandingly bad service. The only reason I am giving a 2/5 rating instead of 1/5 is because it was very good before, the meals generally come across as eatable and from a completely non-selfish point-of-view, if you're a new customer or have kids you are going to be treated like royalty. Just don't expect that level of service to be kept up.Have fun with the excessive tips I gave you and your staff every time I came in. Have lots and lots and lots of fun!

We popped in for a quick lunch, I had egg and chips and my husband had sausage egg and chips. I think the chips were oven chips by the taste which is a shame but otherwise ok , it is what it is. The cafe is clean and quite large. It was ok and Reasonably priced.

I like this cafe for the good quality food, free newspapers and friendly decor. Gets busy at peak times but you are never rushed and prices are quite reasonable

Good choice of tables according to your preference. Waiter was witty and knew his food. Service was prompt. I can recommend the liver followed by pavlova. I will definitely be back.

it is a good cafe which serves good cafe food. The portions are fairly large and very tasteful and hit the spot if you are hungary.

We visited this lovely building a few years ago and the food was excellent then so we were so disappointed on Sunday especially as we and our 4 friends had travelled a long way for what we thought was going to be an excellent lunch.

Have been her a few times before and the menu and service was reasonably good, so we booked a family meal.<br /><br />Went last Saturday and felt we were in the way as they were preparing for a wedding party, even though as a party of five the earning potential for the restaurant was three figures.<br /><br />First there was only one menu available and it took an age to get four more. Nobody thought to ask if we wanted a drink while we waited. A waiter finally appeared with the photocopies of the menu and after handing them out turned to leave - I asked if I could order a drink and he replied no you will have to ask someone else!<br /><br />The menu was very limited, unlike the usual one. We suspected that they couldn't cope with a full menu and the wedding.<br /><br />Food quality was good but the service was very slow and we felt in the way. Unlikely to go there again.

Everyone in our party enjoyed the food, which came nicely served. I have marked it down because my rump steak, while cooked as requested- medium rare, was full of gristle and difficult to eat. Probably I should have returned it. The dining area at the Worplesden Place has always lacked atmosphere so no change there. We chose the Malbec at £18 which was fine but this was the only affordable wine on the list. A few more would be welcome. The serving staff were generally helpful but our waitress (Jen) in particular was exceptional.

Waited a considerable time for our starter. Nice ingredients for our prawn cocktail. Spoilt by a watery sauce at the bottom of the dish. Wrong main ordered so another wait.. It wasn't what was expected but a generous substitute. Disappointing!

This cafe was recommended by a Guildford local. It's a large cafe, was busy when we arrived just after 9am (always a good sign I think). The staff were very efficient and our breakfast (sausage, bacon, beans, egg, toast and a cuppa x 2) was less than a tenner!

We have had many a breakfast here, although you are not tied to a breakfast only menu, which is a bonus. The portions are big but very good and they are good value for money.

The setting itself is okay. But tired. The staff didn't seem to have a clue what they were doing. Our waiter never seem to check if we needed drinks so we were going up to the bar to get them ourselves. The bar staff couldn't cope with even an order of two drinks without getting confused they were more interested in socialising with their friends the other side of the bar. The food was okay but that's as far as that goes. The steak was tough, the burgers tasted like kebab meat and the fish was very greasy. I would not recommend this place and will not return either

This is a typical breakfast cafe and no frills but good fresh food. You can have whatever you want and they will cook it for breakfast. ie Poached eggs, omelettes, full English or anything. Friendly staff. Order at counter and for 4.50 full English inc coffee. Typical cafe.

The first time in ages back to the White Hart from Africa! What a treat! Met James the barman who served the perfect Guinness and so was back there again with my brother before opening time today! Great friendly service again from James who even managed to twist our rubber arms for a couple of potatoes in their jackets. Now that is some salesman! Before I go back home I will be back!

Proper pub, friendly staff, decent food, huge portions. We visited on a weekday lunch time and it was quiet. If you like brass rubbings, dark wood, fairy lights, beer this is the place for you. Nice outside area too.
