Maddison's — Restaurant in England

Been meaning to visit Maddison’s for a while. Didn’t book in advance and went on a Monday late morning and got the last table. We sat in the Snug which was a nice little hideaway from the rest of the coffee shop, but it was far from snug..it was very cold and we kept our coats on. Menu is varied, everything from breakfasts to baked potatoes, waffles, crepes… good choice of delicious looking fresh baked slices too. Lots of drinks and delicious coffees to choose from too. Two of our meals came out together but we waited for the final meal a bit too long. The waitress noticed and chased it up by which time we had mostly ate our food as it was getting cold fast due to the draught in the room.

Apparently they'd said to look out for me and even described me to her. Anyway, my friends had already ordered so I ordered mine when she eventually came to me. The drinks came. We all had hot chocolate. Which was okay but the handmade marshmallows have been replaced with store bought (apparently new ownership). The full English was okay but my friend wasn't happy with hers. The price was quite high for something of the...

Food

We ordered a selection of share dishes including dirty fries, mac and cheese fries and cheesy nachos. All very good and highly recommend.

We followed the lunch with a couple of deserts. I had a scone cream and jam. However I prefer clotted cream and the scone was slightly dry. The chocolate brownie ordered was also excellent.

Atmosphere

Pleasant atmosphere and interesting decor. Log burner would be great in the winter months.

Service

Waiters were extremely friendly and welcoming. We had a young child with us, and they provided books for him to read!

Would highly recommend tasking a visit if...
