Serves a brunch menu of Gloucester Old Spot streaky bacon in a brioche bap or smashed avo with pickled chilli on sourdough. Later on, soups, superfood-y salads, burgers and steak sandwiches. Read more

I had my wedding party here & it was GREAT! Excellent food, good cocktails & super friendly staff. I can't imagine it being any different on a normal day

Great place for a sunday breakfast or lunch. Really nice food and the sunshine bouncing off the Lido makes it great. Phone to book a table outside if you can. Read more

Ask for a table outside and get the coffee, it's delicious. This place was voted one of the top 50 cafes in the UK!

Yes, there are many babies (and mums). But it's great and also DOG friendly in the terrace with a stunning view of the lido and open skies!

Enjoyed a burger and a beer. Very Mother-and-Baby friendly. Take your swimsuit on a hot day for a dip in the Lido

Small portions, expect one rib if you order them (tender though!)
Dhiraj MJuly 22, 2012
Ridiculous situation where they close between 1230 and 130pm. Disaster if you are with starving kids. Charged me £2.30 for 2 small pieces of bread to tide them over :(
Seb SkinnerAugust 12, 2012
Rude lazy staff. Cold food. What's the big fuss? I wouldnt go unless they sacked the staff, who's service attitude seems to be they are doing you a favour. Truly awful

Amazing cafe
