As I savored my meal at Bennett’s in Thrapston, I was struck not only by the delicious food but also by the warmth of the staff. The friendly and attentive service added an extra layer of enjoyment to my dining experience. It was evident that the team at Bennett’s takes pride in providing not only excellent food but also a welcoming and hospitable environment for their patrons. The genuine smiles and helpful demeanor of the staff members truly enhanced my visit, making me feel right at home. It's clear that they are passionate about creating a positive and memorable experience for their customers, and their efforts did not go unnoticed. And let's not forget the food! The muffin I tried was a little piece of heaven—warm, fresh, and bursting with flavor. The dough was just perfect, and it was clear that it was made with care and attention to detail. Additionally, the classic burger with a side of salad was a true delight. The traditional bun was soft and fresh, the homemade burger patty was juicy and packed with flavor, and the salami added a delicious twist to the overall combination. It was evident that the ingredients were of high quality, and the care taken in preparing the dish truly shone through. With the delightful food and the wonderful hospitality, Bennett’s has certainly won me over. I can't wait to return to this charming café and indulge in their culinary delights once again. If you're in the area, I highly recommend stopping by Bennets for a taste of their scrumptious offerings and the genuine warmth of...
Read moreWe were travelling from Rugby en route to Cambridge when we decided to leave the lorry populated drudgery of the A14 and take a break. We left at Thrapston and parked up at the free car park next to the Co-op. The town was small with a few pubs, the usual charity shops and a couple of coffee places. We were going to check out one of the pubs, when Bennett's café front caught our eye. Feeling hungry we decided to give it a go, and we were not disappointed! We were greeted with a smile and were immediately made welcome. There was more than adequate seating space, and the menu was excellent; lots of good choices, with some imaginative creations one wouldn't expect at a high street café in a small town. We were served by three people, all of whom were sweet and attentive. From the general conversations we gleaned that the place was popular with the locals, no surprise really when we saw the kind of food being served up. The meals were all freshly prepared from good, locally sourced produce. We had omelettes, generous portions which were full of delicious ingredients, including ham, mushrooms and sausage. Our meals were served in good time and in a genuinely friendly manner. We thoroughly enjoyed our food, you could tell that the chef had real quality. What a delight to discover such a gem, I highly recommend this place if you need great food, good service and don't want to pay the...
Read moreA real disappointment for breakfast. 2 full breakfasts, 1 eggs Benedict & 1 eggs on toast. The eggs were tiny, the fried ones burnt. Bacon chewy, hollandaise sauce tasted like plain melted cheddar. The bread was really nice! The toast arrived way before the food so it was cold by the time the food arrived. The eggs on toast was a really miserable portion. Because the eggs were so tiny on the giant bread. We sat at the top end and the chef was clearly born in a barn as he failed twice to close the door to the outside toilet on his way when it was freezing cold inside. No one came to clear our plates at the end or check every was okay. We sat for over half an hour after we finished and not a single person came over. We had to go down to the till to order coffee. It wasn’t that busy either. The coffee was actually nice. But for the rest a waste of £50! Wouldn’t return for food nor would...
