“ I swung by today for a bit of lunch after some hiking and I must say I was highly impressed. I had a mocha with cream with a crispy chicken BLT, served with a small dose of couscous and coleslaw which was delicious! Very filling and good value for money, I shan’t need to eat anything else for the rest of the day, lovely! ”

“ Lovely food & friendly service. The cauliflower and cheese soup was incredible & spicy meatball sub from specials menu was super tasty. Unexpected menu but really nice! Only thing to note was the menu was so confusing with all the random numbers & not the cosiest of restaurants ”

“ Bellis Deli Café offers a delightful dining experience! The Shakshuka is a standout dish, bursting with flavor and perfectly cooked. The poached eggs on toast are equally impressive, with a lovely texture that pairs well with the toast. The service is wonderful, adding to the warm and inviting atmosphere. Highly recommend for a delicious meal! ”

“ We went for breakfast. Two full English breakfasts that were so big we didn't need to eat again. Everything was of the highest quality, good butchers Cumberland sausage, bacon and a slab of blackpudding, homemade hash brown and toast made from proper bakery bread. The coffee is very good too. Everything you need to set you up for a day exploring. We'll definitely eat here again ”
