We visit a lot of cafes on our breakfast runs, this is one of the best. The breakfast was perfect, the staff were lovely and venue is really nice. We'll done! They prefer cash, but card payments are available.

Stopped off here after visiting the Antiques centre nearby. Lovely roast dinner with lots of choice on the menu. Didn't make it to dessert as we were so full! Hoping to return again soon.

Have driven past Brett's Farm Restaurant for years but never been there until a few weeks ago. Was so surprised how lovely it was. All the ladies who work there are so lovely and friendly and the food was so nice and reasonably priced. We went back again this week and wondered if our first visit had a been a bit of a fluke but again it was so lovely and enjoyed by all. Coffee was nice and hot. Loved the fact that with tea you got a pot. I had the prawn sandwich the first time which was full of king prawns. The next time I had the fish and chips. So nice and freshly cooked. It was my Dad's birthday and he was given a piece of lemon tart which was lovely. I definitely recommend it. It's my new favourite place.

Great little surprise on our 10mile ramble - it's even got a bar which was completely random. Hats off to the way it's run - very attentive and pleasant - keep up the good work!

A very friendly welcome. The menu was fine with a good mix of sandwiches, jacket potatoes and full meals. There were sets of Trivial Pursuit questions on the tables, which was a bit of fun. The food arrived quickly and was piping hot. Both the all day breakfast and the sandwiches were good. A 10% service charge had been added to our bill, but it was removed when we asked.

We had a scooter club meet up here @ 9am Sunday from when they opened. 9 of us had coffees & teas which were served outside to our table in very quick time. I stayed on after the other 8 went off on their travels & had a very nice Bistro brekkie b4 heading off home on a nice morning. Would recommend this establishment to all in the area.
