"I visited this cafe on a Saturday lunch time. All the outside tables were taken so we sat inside. It was a bit confusing and looks like they have joined two separate units as there were tables and chairs with a counter, a narrow corridor and then another room with more tables and chairs and a bit in the corner where drinks were made. There were no menus on the tables and it was not clear if you had to order at the counter. After a good five minutes a waitress came to our table but only took orders for drinks, and another waitress took food orders. We had a pot of tea for one, a coffee, a diet Coke, a smoked salmon and cream cheese sandwich and a BLT sandwich. At first the waitress said that they had run out of bacon but could do one with sausage to which we agreed. Then she returned to say they had lit the grill ? and could do bacon. Both sandwiches came with a bit of side salad and coleslaw. The sandwich fillings were quite generous. The bill came to £24.70. I could not see a toilet for disabled people, and the toilet appeared to be unisex. Inside was an area with a washbasin and two toilets but one was marked out of order with a chair placed in front to prevent use. In the remaining toilet there was an area where tiles were coming off the wall and some grouting and bits off the stud partition wall were littering the floor. There was a sign saying Do Not Touch, but no sign apologising for the condition of the wall. I do not know how long the toilet was in this condition but the staff should have swept the floor at the very least. I would not visit this cafe again."

I’ve been coming here for years but then moved away. I’m back visiting friends and I always head here. Two lovely lunches I’ve had now in my visit. Thank you and lovely to see you again

Did a great 11th birthday afternoon tea party with milk shakes instead of tea! Superb cakes and sandwiches. Home made scones a maze ing! Genuinely lovely people as well. Thanks for making our daughter’s birthday party special :

Chances are that if you’ve walked from the multi storey car park to the high street, you’ve walked past Cafe Thyme. I’d done so many times before I finally dropped in, and was happy I did. Service was friendly I’ll likely be back.

We eat at this cafe at least once a week either just with adults or with the children. Staff are lovely and will sort anything that you ask for. Never disappointed with the quality of food. The salad dressing is to die for Would thoroughly recommend this cafe.

Friend who lives locally is always raving about their food and recent visit was not disappointed... BE YOUR OWN JUDGE and don't be surprised if like me you will be looking forward to your next visit... and not just for their v. apple pie which was delish (and my first try)!!

Set down a side alley with plenty of seating both inside and out. Was very busy on a Friday afternoon. Ordered sandwiches coffee and vanilla milkshake. Service was friendly and quick. Point of reference it would be nice to be offered sugar with your hot drink, so you don't have to ask the waiting staff to come backwards and forwards. The sandwiches were dry and disappointing, served with salad and coleslaw.

Not impressed..... Ordered brie and bacon toastie..which consisted of 2 slices of toast..one side of each not toasted at all.. Basically toast with a piece of bacon and a slice of brie inside..Maybe it's me but every toastie I've ever had has been done in a sandwich toaster!!..Not great first visit..will be last..Hubby not over impressed with very small English breakfast..more like childrens portion. Sorry..won't be back

My partner and I often go to Café Thyme. Roughly once a week. We love it there. In the summer months, it 's great to be able to sit outside and dine 'al fresco. ' Many people are there, with many more coming and going, which is all testament to Hanna, her team, the service and the fantastic food available. Lots of the scones and cakes are homemade. Wraps and sandwiches are made to order, on the day, as and when order taken. Homemade 'specials ' board all homemade. To have that added personal touch, definitely makes the food taste that much better. Hanna also makes her homemade cakes, wraps, sandwiches and any buffet food, for any outside catering. She came, with one of her staff members, to...
