Feedback
Guests praise Byfords for friendly service, standout savoury dishes (pork belly, salads) and gluten-free choices; some note occasional slow service and mixed desserts.
I wanted to share my appreciation for the staff and service received at Byfords. Whenever I have visited (usually a Saturday) the service has been exceptional. I would specifically like to mention Finlay, he is so polite and attentive, and Leslie whom guides her team with such genuine care and expertise. I hope the business owners realise what an asset she is to the place. Thank you for always making visits feel so personal and special. No doubt see you very soon.
We visited Byfords yesterday for an afternoon tea and it did not disappoint. All of the staff were warm and friendly from the start, particularly Lesley who made us feel at home straight away. The food was delicious and we had a great selection of sandwiches, cakes and scones. We will definitely return next time we visit!
Popped in for Saturday breakfast. Service was excellent and a smiling welcome from the staff. I chose the Byfords full English and at £14.75 its a tad expensive (at non-Passport price)! I was also disappointed not to receive black pudding with the breakfast and a very small sausage (although very tasty). Other than that, it was a lovely start to the day.
We came for breakfast and it didn’t disappoint. Huge portions I couldn’t manage and very yummy. Veggie breakfast was lush and so was the white mocha. It’s really nicely decorated I like the ribbons and flowers everywhere and the toilets were nice. Only thing is we asked for ketchup and water and I think waitress forgot and also food took a while to come out but it didn’t matter we all still really enjoyed ourselves
