The best restaurants serving British food in Wimblington Fenland East of England

Walked into the café thinking our friend had arranged a breakfast reservation for eight people. He and his wife had not arrived at the point when the manageress said “reservation. What reservation. We don’t do reservations”. My heart was sinking like the Titanic as her last sentence was hammering my ear drums; but then I noticed her beaming smile as she said, “How many of you are there”? “Eight” I said, expecting a deep intake of breath and an “it’ll take us some time to get things organised for that many”. Oh, no; I was wrong again. “We’ll just have to pull some tables together so you can all sit together” were her ever so encouraging words. At this moment, our friend arrived with his wife. We men gathered together four small tables into a makeshift long one with enough seating for us all. We got comfortable, and the manageress had two young lady staff members take our drinks order. She then handed out the menus, and we all ordered our breakfast meals. In-a-nutshell, all the staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful; nothing was too much trouble. Everyone ordered and received exactly what they had asked for, in good time; and were exactly as advertised. As we prepared to leave, and as we departed, everyone complemented all the staff for their professionalism and quality of the food. Our party were off to far-away places, so needed a good start for the journey. In the Skylark Café car park, goodbyes and hugs were interlaced with complements about our dining experience. So well done Skylark as a local, I will return for another pleasant breakfast very soon.
