10. Cafe Asia

Cafe Asia opened a couple of months ago, replacing a previously excellent asian takeaway. The owner(s) spent significant time refurbishing the building, with a nice lick of green paint and turning it into a breakfast and lunch cafe, as well as a takeaway. We met the owner a few times who is lovely and very friendly.The menu was initially confusing; they started serving english breakfast and sandwiches, with a more asian fusion themed menu apparently to follow.We decided to visit after it had been open for a good month or so, as more asian dishes had been added to the menu.I'll start with a few positives, as I feel you need to give people their fair due:-the cafe is quite nice, with good coffee and a friendly atmosphere.-there is seating outside-free wifi-they have some interesting chinese/asian drinks that you might not get in other cafes, including cans of coconut water, various juices with jelly, almond milk etc.-the waitress was lovely and really did her best to make us feel welcomeWe wanted to get some dinner/light snack - we opted for some dumplings and a 'hong kong style pork chop with home made tomato sauce, egg fried rice and veg'.The dumplings were quite nice, albeit very salty, and a tad pricey (£4 for 4; quite a lot considering I get 8 for a fiver at Itsu)The Hong Kong style pork chop was, I'm sad to say, so awful I momentarily thought I'd landed myself in an episode of Kitchen Nightmares.Other than the fried egg rice, I could not figure out what was asian about it; the thick tomato sauce had cheese(?) on it, tasted like it should've been on a pasta dish, the broccoli that came with it inexplicably tasted fishy, and the less said about the poor chewy pig that died for this dish, the better.The waitress explained that this dish is a big hit in Hong Kong - I'm afraid there's no chance of that here.So, the bad:-the menu is confused; is it British? Is it Asian? It also doesn't help that new dishes appear as hastily printed photocopies on the window, making it look like a cheap takeaway.-Though we should try more dishes to get a full picture, the ones we tried don't instill confidence.-Drinks wise it's nice to have asian options, but sometimes you just want a simple soda, like a coke or a sprite.-no clear distinction between the lunch and dinner menus - I've walked past a few times, pondering if I'll get something, but it is unclear whether some of these dishes are 'portable'. It also tries to impress with 'different' dishes, like said Hong Kong Pork and 'egg noodle wrapped fried chicken', yet lacks some of the basic favourites. Where is the satay? Where are the duck rolls?It's a real shame, as the owner is lovely and as I live near, want them to do well.But they really need to sort their menu out, and up the cooking a level.
9. Ljâs Cafe
Reviewed By skippie_rads
After much walking past, the other half and I decided one morning to try out LJs Cafe. Turns out we made a rather good decision on a chilly January morning.On entering we were immediately offered a tea or coffee - whilst it's probably a small insignificant question I thought it was a real nice touch. The service was quick and the waitress very friendly. The food was freshly cooked and arrived really promptly. And it was really really good food (and a decent amount of it too!)For those wanting more than a breakfast, we did eye up the menu and saw there was a range of foods available throughout the day to suit many tastes. There is also a carvery available on Sunday Lunchtimes, although I cannot comment on the quality of this. However, if it is anything like the breakfast then I imagine it would be proper lush!Overall, really friendly quick service, really decent food and really reasonably priced for what you get. We will certainly be going back and I would highly recommend to anybody!

Stopped here after a road trip and fancied breakfast and gave these guys a go. Started with a delicious coffee which I really enjoyed and order a second when my breakfast arrived. Service was good and the food was mediocre and if I was being honest, I found the sausage let the breakfast down. It was however well presented and good value and I would return I was in this area again but wouldn't choose the sausage option.

We went in for breakfast knowing they do an all day breakfast menu. The selection is massive and you have every combination you could imagine. The service is good and the quality of food much better than the fast food chains. Would go back again and itâs good value for money.

As others have testified you get well looked after at HH cafe rouge. Friendly and prompt service throughout. The menu has the normal selection but it is cooked well. The red wine we tried is very good and yet was the cheapest on offer.

This community cafe based at St Edwards Church serves the most generous and enjoyable breakfast I have had for a long time. 2 rashers of bacon, 2 sausages, mushrooms, scrambled egg, tomatoes, beans and toast for just £4. Add a lovely coffee for £1,50 and you have a perfect breakfast. The folk running the cafe are volunteers and super friendly. They also serve cakes, sandwiches and baked potatoes. They have been discovered and are getting full. No wonder, they serve their community with excellence.

On the Park......comfy, home cooked healthy food....great coffee, tea and iced drinks, fabulous cakes and cookies, all in a fresh and bright space...........Welcome!
Reviewed By NEIL A
We have visited this establishment for, maybe, 30 years. It has gradually changed - but maintained a lovely eating environment. Light lunches, snacks - a unique situation. So well worth a visit. Parking outside is a lottery BUT try the tennis patking in St John's park opposite. It is really worth a visit.
