My partner and I visited Brookside Cafe today for the first time.The welcome we received from the owners and staff was very warm and friendly.We both enjoyed the full cooked breakfast. We could tell the products used were of good quality, the bacon and sausages were particularly tasty.We shall return to try some of the offerings from the lunch menu.

Food wasn't to bad. However, the service was terrible. Staff were rude. Took ages for our order to be take, our plates were thrown in front of us then when paying staff came across extremely judgmental. Safe to say, we shall not be returning.

Very dissapointed. Unable to review food or service as we were turned away. Made a journey as we heard this was a good restaurant. Checked online that it would be open until 4pm. Arrived at 3pm and, even though the door was open and staff inside we were told it was closed.

A friendly place to stop when it was pouring with rain and blowing us off our feet. Several other cafes in above turned us away with the dog but Brookside welcomed us with open arms. Super friendly staff with warm smiles that made us feel very welcome. Food was hot, well cooked, served quickly and was plentiful - it also tasted superb. The breakfast wasn?t greasy and the toast was hot! My wife had corned beef hash and eggs and said she felt 8 years old again, old school comfort food.

Found these guys while looking for a lunchtime snack on a damp day.A busy and thriving cafe/restaurant with good attention to detail, varied menu, good coffee and attentive professional staff who attend in and outdoors.Enough space between tables to be comfortable and not colliding with others getting in to them.The rear entrance is level through double doors for less able visitors in wheelchairs.Small step at the front entrance easily negotiated with care.Outside seating available (not used that day as it was bucketing down !)Dog friendly inside and out which is important for many.Good size portions of fresh cooked food in a short timeframe even when fairly busy.Very reasonable prices with offerings of local jams or chutneys plus cakes of all sorts at the till point.A very enjoyable experience especially on a run out to Trago.Parking: About 20 or so spaces.Kid-friendliness: Well behaved children appear to be welcomeWheelchair accessibility: See above

Has lost its ambiance and efficiency since Mark and Robin took a back seat. Had to wait 45 mins from ordering food to it being delivered and it was not busy. This would not have happened before. Shame was a great place to eat but not so much now.

Visited the Brookside several times. Always friendly welcome from the staff. A hearty breakfast.

Very pricey for low-quality breakfast food - eggs undercooked and slimy, sausages very low-quality - bacon dry. Only one single mushroom and most of the plate is filled with over-fried potatoes. Service is reasonable and the cafe generally caters for OAPs. Lots of people with dogs in there, and over 90% of the customers were over 70. Hideously expensive (£28 for 2 substandard breakfasts). Tea was awful - very weak indeed.
