Merlin Cafeteria

Love this café, now under new ownership, great refurb, friendly and great food.
Highly recommended!

A very nice cafe to go and have lunch.
We ordered scampi and chips with salad, whilst we were eating them the Chef came out with some more scampi as she felt that we had not been given enough when the meal left the kitchen!
Now that is brilliant service!
Very friendly staff,
Well done to all, excellent job!

Sorry to say this is the worst breakfast i have ever had, i took my daughter out for father daughter breakfast and ordered 2 full breakfasts and 2 latte which was £21
Coffee come out first with biscuit, very nice.

Full breakfasts came out missing bacon sausage and beans just an empty pot. Complained and rather than taking the breakfasts away the server turned up with a with a pot of beans no serving spoon and sausages and bacon separate.

Egg was solid and rubbery which she also replaced, and the replacement was flat which i would suggest was old.
Sausage was nice, bacon was very salty and i think it had been microwaved at it was dark and hard but not crispy edges.
Tomato was luke warm and not cooked, bread was stale either old or had 2 hits on the toaster.
Mushroom had been cooked in water and was leathery.
Beans were mostly liquid and juice was not thick so probably cheaper quality brand.
New potato chips were ok, just deep fried sliced but tasted ok.

Free replacement coffee came out and it was only 2/3 of original.

Honestly i will never step foot in this place again. Not a good experience.

Id give zero but the lady did try to replace.

Popped in for coffee also has poached eggs on toast. Perfectly prepared. Toast hot and crispy, eggs beautifully cooked. Kind and obliging staff. Thank you for a great experience. We will be back very soon.

Great menu, lovely staff, and a wonderful place to sit and watch the helicopters etc by the airport. Added bonus is the free entrance to the Spitfire Museum should you feel like learning something!

Lovely food, fast service, welcoming and friendly staff. Fantastic eggs benedict which is hard to come by, and some of the best coffee I’ve had!

This is a really nice place for a cup of tea and snack. Cannot comment on food as not eaten there. Staff are very friendly and helpful.

Nice view of the airport from here. They do serve some nice cakes. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating and the staff really helpful
