Ben Ollie's Breakfast

The food is cooked beautifully, but the prices are high, portion sizes are small, and the staff is rude and uninterested unless they are behind the counter talking.

My family and friends started going to Ben Ollie’s because of the Kippers they were serving, unfortunately they have now stopped serving kippers.We’re now, not that interested in going there in the future.

I stopped by for a takeout breakfast and was really impressed. The service was excellent, the staff were very friendly, and the atmosphere of the restaurant was fantastic. The food was delicious! I would definitely recommend this place. View menu

Took my aunt out for lunch at this very busy restaurant. Service was efficient and the food enjoyable, and the prices are reasonable. Quite nice ambience and décor. My main criticism was the acoustics. The place was full and loud, and not conducive to conversation. Would still revisit.

Absolutely fantastic! We stopped by as we were staying nearby and we were very happy! The food was light, tasted lovely and served efficiently. The staff were friendly and the coffee was great! Our young daughter even commented on how nice the scrambled were! Would recommend for couples and families. Thank you for a great start to our day!

I stopped by this restaurant for breakfast while I was in the area and was immediately impressed by the friendly staff and welcoming atmosphere. The menu was a pleasant surprise with a variety of breakfast options to choose from. The exceptional coffee and cozy ambiance made for the perfect start to my morning. If you're in the area, I highly recommend stopping by this breakfast spot – it truly stands out from the rest. View menu

Was visiting relatives in Borehamwood, but had a couple of hours to kill so decided to try this place for breakfast. Can only say it was fantastic. Great food, very good value and the staff/service was excellent. It has a very lively buzz about the place and there were a lot of families eating there so was very child friendly. It's obviously very popular as when we left people were starting to queue out the door. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend this to anyone.

ALWAYS EXCELLENT! We live in the Cotswolds but come up to the area once a month, usually for a week. The coffee here is the best for miles around, and the food and service is always excellent. My wife loves Ben's omelette for breakfast, although it is too large to eat in one go! All the owners and staff are friendly and helpful. The menu is extensive with something for everyone. We can highly recommend Ben and Ollies, and if you are in the area, it is well worth a visit!!

Says gluten free options on the menu, as I’m sure ANY allergy sufferers will agree, finding somewhere that says gluten free is a life line when staying away. It said GF options on the website. We rang ahead and the person on the phone couldn’t hear us. We turned up and when we asked if they had a GF menu they said no. I asked if they then had GF options and just got told “no”. And pretty much shown the door. They didn’t even try to help!! So very misleading and made me just feel awful. I didn’t choose the coeliac life, the coeliac life chose me a little bit of empathy and maybe a “I’m really sorry” goes a long way. Anyway, we found Barracuda a few doors down which does GF bread and it was go... View menu
