Nice place with a good menu and generally food is good as with the coffee, but they just can’t keep up with orders. If you don’t order something you can take with you when paying then prepare for a long second wait, especially if ordering food. We waited 10 mins for coffee then another 10 minutes for 2 bacon baguettes (half our order) to come out after chasing. 10 min later two of the wrong baguettes come out despite me clarifying the order when chasing them. Then 5 mins later 1 egg baguettes cut in half came out with half an egg in each (1 with a yolk 1 without) and us being told that this was two portions. I’d like to think this was an honest mistake but how can that be? They just brought us 4 baguettes double the portion size! Another 5 mins and finally the correct order! Teas and coffee are now cold and we don’t get to eat as a family. If you can’t keep up with the orders then perhaps stop taking them and instead focus on fulfilling the orders you already have. If panicking don’t try and pass half orders off as full ones! That was the final straw that made me write this review. This is not the only time we’ve waited so long and I’ve often seen people having to chase down their orders. We asked if today was extra busy and was told no - it’s usually busier. I hope they up their game as it’s a nice business in a good location. We’ll be back for great gelato but can’t see us waiting for hot drinks or food again anytime soon. They are well intentioned I’m sure, just out of their...
Read moreMy wife and I headed to Burnham Beech's for a walk but we also intentionally went for lunch too. The Beech's Eco Cafe has a nice variety of food on offer. Catering for Vegetarian and Vegan food lovers.
I had a cheese and tomato toasty and so did my wife. I also had a sausage roll and she had a cheese and tomato croissant. Then we shared one of the large samosas they had. Of course it was vegetable and labelled Vegan.
They bring the food to a table to the left of the counter where people waited for their orders. You don't get a number or anything so you need to remember what you ordered and they rely on honesty too.
On taking our food to where my wife and I had sat. I thought I'd ordered too much food. In fact it wasn't too much and we were heading for our walk after anyway.
The eating area is a dog free zone but there's plenty of places to tie them up in the outer...
Read moreLove this cafe! We always enjoy a walk and explore around Burnham Beeches and we always pop to the cafe. It is right by the car park which is useful and I see there is disabled parking, and a dog friendly seating area nearby. So it’s for absolutely everybody! Staff are always lovely and friendly. Food is very good, and freshly made and cooked. Had a bacon roll there today which tasted amazing- probably the best bacon roll ever to be honest. Can’t fault it. The children love the soft scoop icecream with great flavours available or ice lollies. Coffee is great. Nice treats and pastries. There’s something for everyone to be honest. Good facilities- bins, condiments etc. Toilets and visitor centre all in same area. Plenty of picnic tables. Loyalty card ready for the next...
