Jennycliff Cafe — Restaurant in Plymouth

Great food at fair prices!

Update a year on: This place is just so good. The staff are amazing, polite, and helpful. An example of which is that today (18/10/2024), I took my wife and newborn son up there, but there was nowhere to put a pram. So a member of staff came over and locked the 2nd door so they could turn that area into parking for the pram. It was so helpful and meant we could relax and enjoy the food.

Which, by the way, is amazing itself. I had a fry up, and my wife had cheesy chips, no issues with food quality.

The only thing in my opinion that lets the side down is how loud it gets in here from people and dogs, I have no personal issue with dogs, but some owners won't take them outside if they bark which didnt happen this time but has happened in the past. If management had a rule of no "barking," dogs are allowed. This would be (in my opinion) the perfect...

There are few cafes in the local area, or any other area for that matter, that can boast the kinds of views that are available at the Jennycliff Cafe.

It's been a while since I last visited and today I was reminded why. The food here is not bad for a "greasy spoon" café but, my goodness, the place is filthy! I wasn't overly impressed with the 3 star hygiene rating on the door to start. There is an unpleasant odour as soon as you enter. We were there fairly early, yet floor looked like it hasn't been cleaned for ages. Covered in dog fur, bits of food and lots of unidentified bits and bobs. Our table was really dirty and the mugs were dirty too. We did quite enjoy the breakfast, although the extra cost for toast and a drink quickly made it fairly expensive, and I had to try and stop imagining how dirty the plate probably was under the food. The view is really nice, but I think it will be a while before I try this place again. A shame really as this could be a...
