The service was speedy and efficient. The cream teas were generous and tasty. My son raved about the chips that came with his toastie, saying they were the best he's ever had. The kids were a bit let down that their milkshakes were made with powder or syrup rather than being thick shakes, but to be fair, they weren't advertised as such. The assortment of cakes all looked mouthwatering, but unfortunately, we were too full to give them a try.

It wasn’t too busy when we arrived at 9.15 so we sat overlooking the outdoor displays of Fairweathers. We ordered one vegetarian breakfast and one Beaulieu breakfast which you will see on the picture. Not only were they beautifully presented and served but they were clearly freshly cooked along with tea and coffee and toast. It was the treat we had imagined thanks to all at Steff’s.

Today is Sunday and as the minutes continue to tick by, still no breakfast 45 mins now Politely asked for another coffee while waiting but that hasn’t happened. 46 mins and a burnt breakfast bap has just arrived with an undercooked egg. Servers are working hard but were not told of chef problems. We have recently moved to the area but won’t be coming back. After 47 minutes we got a refund for the breakfast bap only. Maybe I should charge for 46 minutes of my life.

Amazing breakfast! Make sure you get there before 11am at the weekend though otherwise you will miss out! The choice of food was fantastic, staff attentive and... read more Amazing breakfast!

Firstly they got one order wrong so I went to the counter and watched her make the vanilla milkshake : just a little syrup in the bottom of a small plastic cup topped up with milk, not even stirred or shaken! The children said it was the worst milkshake they had ever tasted not the standard one would expect from this establishment!!
