Cafe Du Gallery — Restaurant in Huntingdonshire

On our first ever trip to Huntingdon today my eight year old daughter and I tried this place for lunch. We have found the place to always go whenever we visit again! She had the kiddie chicken nuggets and chips, I had the cheese burger and chips. Both came with a small side salad. We also both had hot chocolate. She declared it "the best hot chocolate I ever had" because she was cold. I'd call it perfectly lovely hot chocolate at a reasonable price.

What impressed me in particular was the large portion size for the cost. This place delivers tremendous value. Further, I'd been craving good, thick, hot, properly crispy chips/fries for ages and Gallery delivered. My burger was also very nice - nothing special or fancy, just nice, tasty, beefy, and with a good blanket of cheddar on top. My daughter deemed her nuggets "delicious".

This isn't a fancy place where you can pick between ten different gourmet cheeses for your burger. Those places are okay, but sometimes you just want to sit down and eat with your kid without fuss. The staff were friendly throughout, it wasn't very crowded (although the man at the Cromwell Museum said it can get very crowded during holiday season, but he said he also loves the place and it's worth braving the crowds), the tables and chairs were clean and comfortable.

Back in the US this would be considered a good quality diner, so if you're visiting the UK looking for that sort of thing with some more British offerings, this is the place to go.

I happen to have a soft spot for Delft blue plates so that just made it perfect.

Do note that it's called Cafe du Gallery at the location and on the website, but Gallery Restaurant on Google Maps. It's all...

Very disappointing , have used once a week to meet my mother and have breakfast and a catch up , cafe was busy so we had to wait quite a while to get our Tea and Coffee , after another 10 minutes my 76 year old mother tried 3 or 4 times to get the waiters attention , each time she was ignored. The waiter came to the table behind us and this time I tried to politely get his attention , I raised my hand , I tried saying "excuse me" , we made eye contact , but each time he turned away and ignored me ... the rudeness of the staff , to totally ignore both of us is unbelievable .. a simple " sorry i'm busy , give me 5 minutes " would have been great , just to be acknowledged ... but to both be totally ignored is terrible staff service and manners. After the 3rd time of having him turn his back on me , I loudly raised my voice above the noise of the cafe to be heard " hello , excuse me " ... the owner then came out and told us to leave as it was unacceptable to talk to her staff that way , no swearing , no Oi you ... just raised my voice to get his attention after being ignored half a dozen times. Learn some service skills and how to acknowledge people , people then don't mind waiting and don't feel they are simply being rudely ignored. I would rather stick pins in my testicles than return...

My son and I had the mini breakfast, and yeah, it's not worth the money. To start, the toast came out 2 minutes before the actual food, so it was stone cold before the food came out, and we only got 1 napkin. I know there's a cost of living crisis, but really? We shouldn't have to hint down another napkin. The waitress doesn't listen very well and got our order wrong when writing it down. The menu says a portion of bacon rashers, which is usually 2 rashers, but we only got 1 measley slice. The sausage was that small. We needed a microscope to see it. We asked for a hard egg but it came runny. The waitress asked if we wanted any sauce and I said yes, tomato please and waited nearly 5 minutes for it to come and realised she wasn't even coming back so by the time we started eating the toast was like a rock and the food was cold. I have an appetite smaller than a childs, and even I went away still hungry. Should have gone to the burger van a few yards down the street. Save your money and eat elsewhere. And as we were leaving, we heard a couple stating that they wouldn't go here again either,...
