What scaniamandave doesn't like about Empire Cafe:
stopped off for breakfast while I waited on bike service very quiet in there polite friendly service meal came very quickly well presented very tasty could do with filling salt and pepper pots as both were empty View all feedback. What GlobetrottingViking likes about Empire Cafe:
This café has a lovely traditional ambience and a wonderfully friendly staff. The choice on the menu is impressive and better value for money is difficult to find. Cup of tea for £1.00 is not to be laughed at. You will not get a gourmet five star meal here, but come for the curious decor and enjoy a good traditional meal of a tea. View all feedback.

Had large breakfast, sausages of cheap quality, very fatty bacon, hard mushrooms and a snotty egg. Wish we had gone somewhere else!!!

Brilliant breakfast, could not fault the friendly customer service and couldn't resist taking a loaf of lardy bread home afterwards
