Hidden gem! Decided to come here for the first time on a rainy bank holiday Monday, and it was just the place to lift our spirits. Delicious sandwich, nicely presented with simple but well above average salad, a few crisps and some "homeslaw" - would definitely order one of those again. We also ordered a piece of the rainbow cake, which side from being bright and cheerful was lovely and light. The white hot chocolate seemed to be made with steamed milk, such as you'd find in a good coffee, which worked very well. Finally, because we thought we had to, we ordered one of the "freak shakes" - there were many different flavours available, we chose raspberry and white chocolate. All I can say is wow (and look at the photos)! That's a jam doughnut on the top, and it was a very light and fluffy one too. We will definitely be back: whether for savory or sweet, the cakery has proven itself most capable. Prices are very reasonable, and on a nice day takeaway and sitting in the park seems like it world be good - there is outdoor seating available in the...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreI absolutely love the Vintage Birdcage Cakery! The VBC is one of my favourite places to go for breakfast, lunch & afternoon tea. Their afternoon tea is incredible - I would say slightly on the pricey side compared to some Afternoon Teas but you definitely get what you pay for. I always end up taking some home with me as thereās so much. I have been to the VBC many times for lunch and I love their sandwiches - the BLT is my favourite. I have also been to the VBC for breakfast and I normally get their bacon sandwich on granary bread! Their selection of cakes / tray bakes is amazing and of such a high quality. The decor of the VBC is just simply stunning, itās beautiful. The snug is such a cosy little area and also beautifully decorated. The VBC is also perfect for coffee & cake and to just catchup with a friend. They also do take-aways so if it is busy or youāre in a rush you can always enjoy the VBC in the comfort of your own home or at work! I love going to the Vintage Birdcage Cakery and all of the staff are just...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreWent on a Sunday morning for breakfast. Will warn you now that the chef has Sunday's off so breakfast is limited. I had waffles with bacon and maple syrup, it was good, the waffles were soft and fresh, the bacon was of excellent quality as was the maple syrup. Had this with a coffee which was superb, beautiful fresh roast taste. Others had bacon sandwiches, tea cakes and crumpets and all were finished off but we came here for was the freakshakes for the kids, huge milkshakes in lots of different flavours covered in a multitude and variety of toppings, they all polished these off. Nicely decorated place with limited seating inside but lots outdoors. Just outside is a wonderful park filled with lots to do for all ages and a duck pond with a couple of nesting swans (we even got to see the swan eggs). Not the cheapest but definitely worth it with everyone being very happy with their orders. Staff are excellent and nothing is too much trouble. Will definitely be...
