The Big Friendly Coffee

Nice cafe especially for families. Toys available for children to play with. Nice space at the back of the cafe for children to sit and play. Nice variety of food available, including lunch for children. Friendly staff. This cafe also runs a phonics session for children every Monday at 10am which is a lovely group. Cafe also used to run arts and crafts classes for kids although I’m not sure if they still run it now. Other classes such as buggy walks etc are advertised there. Nice atmosphere especially for parents who have children with them.

The best coffee, very friendly and nice staff, my daughter birthday party take place here and was amazing. Highly recommend

The cafe is ideally situated beside a lake which gives an element of calm and also close to the childrens playground. The cafe contains toys and ride on amusement toys to keep the children entertained. The food was satsfactory and not overly priced. My only gripe was the cost of the bouncy castle at the cafe, costing me nearly 10 pounds for two children for a few minutes. To top it off the cashier sounded agressive when she told me the price as if she was expecting an argument. I was wondering why the bouncy council was empty although attractive with a slide and basketball hoop.

The best coffee shop ☕️ my fav coffee shop.
It's by a lake with an amazing view, its the perfect spot. I love coming here at all times esp in the mornings it's peaceful and calm, the staff are friendly and they work so hard. Its a family run buissness so respect to them. The shop makes a difference, for example you get some elderly people that are lonely (some I know) and they would come spend time in the place where its peaceful. 10/10

I have been coming to the Big Friendly Coffee for a number of years now and cannot recommend it enough. The staff are warm, friendly, and welcoming, always providing the very best customer service. They always get my coffee order just right (which some other coffee shops struggle to do) and they offer a wide selection to cold drinks as well as sweet and savoury food at a reasonable price. What I like most about the Big Friendly Coffee is the family friendly nature, and they always have a great range of activities for children which always seems appreciated by parents when they come by. Overall, a great place to come and relax for a couple of hours!

Today I went to my friends daughter birthday party outside of the cafe. They also have bouncy castle. While kids were playing inside the bouncy castle, my daughter fell in a gap between the bouncy castle and a wall which should have had a safety net. She sustained a bump to the head and shoulder. Obviously safety was overseen at this cafe..will not take my daughter again.

I used to love that cafe in the past but whoever runs that place right now is heading towards failure! They got a very unsafe bouncy castle and some puppies that require tokens and are absolute rip off.!!! The play area used to be nice and clean . Now the toys there look like not been cleaned for at least a year.. the whole place is filthy . Floor covered in sand even in the early hours.. Tables are always dirty while the ladies that are supposed to work there are sitting down chatting . If you ask to use the toilet as a client they don't let you use it and literally shout at you how people don't know how to use toilet and they are sick of cleaning it all the time ... I forgot my expensive sunglasses at the counter while paying , took the drinks to the table , then realised and went back, but the glasses were gone, they refused to assist me
