Nan's Café Bar — Restaurant in England

We usually find the best cafe on the last day of our stay on short breaks, this time we found it first day; only to find they closed that day before I was going to be hungry again, with worse to come. We went Sunday morning and they don't open Monday or Tuesday; you guessed it, we went home Tuesday! They had such a magnificent array of home made cake, I had my heart set on sampling at least one later that day, only to be crushed by opening hours. However, that did not detract from the great full English, very tasty, sausage, bacon and black pud; not overly greasy but it wouldn't take much more to reach that point, but you can't have a fry up without it being fried in something. Even better, they serve whole tinned plum tomatoes with their breakfasts; I can't be doing with 'grilled tomatoes that are nearer raw than grilled and tinned tomato tastes of my childhood and youth. But the most striking thing about the place was the happy, chatty banter staff had with local and visiting customers; very welcoming. 'Dog friendly' was the criteria put in our Google search; so friendly I was worried Bob (the dog) was going to be kidnapped. He was greeted with gravy bones, paid lots of attention, and fussed before every hand wash. If we're ever in the area again, I have some unfinished business with some...

Nan’s has now reopened, with a new look but the same great food. Nan’s is also participating in the ‘Eat Out to Help Out’ scheme so Monday to Wednesday it is even better value. Tables are socially distanced, everything is lovely and clean, everyone uses hand sanitiser on entry and I felt very safe eating there in these difficult times. I had the Skinny Breakfast and it was lovely - Bacon, mushrooms, baked beans, poached egg, fresh tomato and wholemeal toast. Now this will seem at odds with my Skinny Breakfast, but it was a celebration of meeting up with dear friends who I hadn’t seen for a long time, I also had their new Mini-Doughnut Ice Cream Sundae - which was out of this world. Apologies for not taking a photo, I had to just tuck in. Go on, spoil yourself with a visit to Nan’s Cafe Cafe, know it...

A bonus really not expected anything open but this cafe was. Located on the corner of Victoria Road and Aston Road , Shifnal. It was already quite busy so we sat outside with our dog. We had a lovely welcoming from the owner (Gail)who gave us some seat pads to put on the chairs outside. The entrance to the cafe is restrictive to wheelchair users , a big step in the doorway. We asked about GF cakes or breakfast, unfortunately not on this day. We had a cappuccino and a flat white. Coffee was okay and Gail offered water for the dog and some boiled ham which was thoughtful. Prices were good. Only charged £2.60 . ( eat out to help out). Overall a nice little cafe, pleasant staff, busy with locals so must be good just no GF things but we would come...
