The Lodge Cafe

We've tried to visit this place twice now, but they never had seats because the place is quite small and they are always so busy!

This time we ended up sitting by the bar. They have the most friendly serving staff.

I had the French toast, which was made from a chocolate brioche, served with free range bacon, fruit, and vanilla bean ice cream. The dish was beautifully presented. The brioche was yummy with a wonderful crunchy outside. The bacon was cooked well, and the ice cream was of very high quality. However, the caramel sauce/vanilla syrup was a bit tasteless.

Husband's pulled pork egg benedict was served served on potato which was quite different! The pork was cooked and flavoured perfectly.

Overall, the presentation was definitely 5/5, the food was decent enough, but I'm not too sure if it was amazing enough to be worth all the hype. We will be happy again to come back and try their lunch items, hopefully it will be less busy by then.

Our order was carefully taken and quickly delivered to a high standard and in generous portions by friendly, courteous staff. Clean bathrooms. The cafe was busy and space was tight but not cramped. Good range of blackboard meals; fewer cabinet options, but still pleasant

Have only been here once, but it will definitely not be my last - the waiter was fantastic, very helpful & enthusiastic and the food was even better

Really good cafe serving great coffee and awesome food. Used to come here all the time when I lived in the area. Love it.
