We were staying with friends in Haverford West and they took us to Caddies, Mayfield, Haverford West a Cafe with a Golf Range to the rear for Sunday Breakfast. It seemed this place was a local institution as it was bursting with customers most tucking into a Full Breakfast though there were other options available. There were family groups including what looked like a birthday breakfast for a ‘little princess’ dressed in a pink Fairy costume (or perhaps it was a Bridesmaids dress) either way it including a diamond studded Tiara which you dont often see in a Cafe? Other customers weren’t quite so well dressed. They offer a range of different breakfast with the Albatross being the biggest and baddest. 4 sausages, 4 bacon, 3 hash brans, 2 fried eggs, 2 fried bread, 2 black pudding, baked beans, mushrooms and toast. (It doesn’t say on the menu just how much toast is provide) We had a table reserved which was a good thing as the staff were obviously over stretched. When we sat at the table the sleeves of my shirt stuck to the table. The surface was so sticky the place mats were impossible to remove and the sauce bottles were held in place as if by Super glue. There was a lot of noise amplified by the construction of the building which gave everything a tinny sound.
The menu looked good and I was excited to see it was also very cheap with the small breakfast (The Birdie) at £5, the medium (The Eagle) at £6.95 and the monster (Albatross) at £9.95. All Golf themed. All included Tea or Coffee which saves at least a quid a meal. We had to go up to the counter to order and there was a queue. The lady taking the orders behind some sort of screen was also making and serving the teas and coffees and taking the money. This was clearly a bad business decision as it took far too long and prone to mistakes (one of our drinks had to go back) and it was a Health and Safety disaster waiting to happen. However, we eventually gave our order and paid. It was then a case of waiting though we did have our drinks to keep us going and we could watch the punters trying to hit their golf balls out side of the window. Sadly there wasn't anywhere on the table to put our waste so the litter from our drinks had no home and inevitably ended up stuck to the table.
When the food came it looked good though they had fallen into the trap of piling everything on the same plate which isn’t a great idea. Luckily the toast had been placed on the other side of the plate from the baked beans so it didn’t get soggy but the egg was buried. I did eat my two 1/4 slices of Fried Bread which i dont usually do and I really enjoyed it though the calorie count will be colossal. In summary this was a good place for breakfast as long as you dont want a long leisurely brunch with ‘good conversation’. It was almost impossible to hear anything for the back ground noise. But it was comfortable and relatively cheap. Service was ‘Ok’ but the staff were clearly rushed and they had little time to engage with customers. If I had been out all night and needed a 'full fat boys' to soak up the alcohol Caddies would be a...

Read moreWe came in today, we don't get to go out often for breakfast. My wife, myself, and our 7 year old who has allergies. There were 3 or 4 tables sat eating. We asked for an allergen list which at first they couldn't find, we had to look through what looked like delivery reports, etc until we found the right folder. They were massively incomplete, breads, gluten free sausages, etc missing from the list. Feeling pressured to finally make an order (a queue had formed behind us) we sat and waited - hot food came quickly, which was delicious. We still didn't have our toast delivered, so I tried several times to get the waitress' attention, I even called "excuse me" but she was to busy heading back to the kitchen to notice me. Worried we would finish breakfast before our toast arrived to make it the perfect breakfast, I followed her and waited outside the kitchen. I mentioned that we hadn't been given toast yet, she said she'll get it "in a minute". We finished breakfast having never received our toast, so we thought we'd mention to the waitress that the food was nice, but the order was incomplete (and that it would be nice if the staff were more aware of allergens). The waitress became defensive and told us it "was the waitress' first day" with a bit of a defensive tone, as if she was implying we need to be more tolerant. We left feeling as if we wished we shouldn't have mentioned any dissatisfaction, as we were a bit of an inconvenience, not to mention a little annoyed. If you have allergies, I'd give...
