"I popped in here as one does occasionally with family on Thursday 24th October 2019 just after midday. It is an unassuming place, looking like your typical local café, located on the corner as one half of a building which also consists of the Bon Bon Newsagents and Store next door. Firstly, this is not a disabled friendly building. Nothing here that is disabled compliant, however you can get a walker and a wheelchair up the step and through the two doors with assistance. It is also possible to put a walker (as long as they fold up) behind a seat while having a table, so 2 people with such would need a 4-seater. It is also possible to put 1 wheelchair in place of 1 seat at the main table (from a straight line from the entrance past the counter) facing the back of the café with moving the table behind. Provided the café is not packed and again with assistance. The owners are very good in respect of providing assistance and help where possible. Note also the furniture is basic, just tables and chairs. There is no inside toilet but one cubicle accessible outside via the back door. It can and often does get very packed as popular with locals, visitors, local workmen, lots of people. Access between tables can be narrow and one orders at the Counter, your order sans drinks is brought over. Why do I recommend going here? Never judge a book by it’s cover. Mistakenly passing on this place as just another greasy spoon is a tragedy. The secret is what its kitchen can do! Cooked Breakfasts, several set menus and a 7-item choice breakfast. Choice burgers, such as Cheeseburger Quarter pounders with all trimmings and Chips. The Specials board is a gem. Among others such as Faggots and Cottage Pie, when available are Roast Dinners. Such as I had today and one of the best you can get at any price. 3 vegetables, carrots, garden peas and cabbage with crisp Roast Potatoes usually in a giant Yorkshire Pudding (if not, like today a normal sized one). The Roast Beef is perfect and plenty of it, perfectly Roasted and melt in the mouth. A decent Coffee and Tea is served and Soft Drink Cans available from the fridge near the counter. Some menu dishes include tea or coffee. Some are also available like the Burgers to takeaway. In the evening after it closes in the Afternoon at around 2pm, it transforms in Al’s Tikka Grill, an authentic Indian Restaurant to reopen from 5pm. So, if want one of the best café’s around and it is nicely situated opposite Ashton Park. Staff are pleasant and I note a TV is on showing Sky Sports usually albeit no sound. I find the place nicely decorated with a mixture of local Bristol decor and Indian décor. The place is kept very clean which is always a good sign. You like any of the food mentioned, do visit and try their food! Better than several local, more expensive and more up market establishments, after all that is why you go out to eat isn’t it. Highly recommended by me!"
