The Crimson Tree

The cutest place with amazing food. We go here for breakfast or lunch and it's always absolutely delicious. Loads of cakes and pastries on show as well.

This is a popular little place, The food was decent, the cakes were very good. A bit expensive for what it is. The waiter kept hanging about and cleared our plates away as soon as we'd finished eating. He then hovered about all the time when we had a 2nd drink. For that reason, I wouldn't rush to go back.

I went with work colleagues for a lunch. We had to wait for seats, which is fine, its quite relaxed as people that were in while we we're waiting for a seat were still sat chatting when we eventually left. Nursing a coffee and hogging tables seemed to be the order of the day!
Its quite a small and uninspiring menu. I had the fish finger sandwich ( I would never normally choose that but there was nothing else for me, its weighted heavily towards veggie / vegan) the bread was thick and really tasty but it wasn't filled with the fish finger, my first thought was that one had fallen out! That said the chunky chips were fantastic and the wine was quite decent. When we spoke to the staff items we asked for we're forgotten so we had to ask / remind them. But overall we had decided early on that we probably wouldn't visit again in the near future with the menu as it is..Shame.

Always busy, don't think you can reserve a table. I find the food a little hit & miss. Bacon sandwiches are lovely and reasonably priced, other items are very expensive, particularly with a hot drink too. We visited on a cold, windy day and the door repeatedly blew open which frankly got on my pip as it made it very 🥶 . Staff didn't appear to notice or care that we had to keep asking other customers to close the door on the way in! Nicely furnished & very clean, staff could be a little more switched on & attentive but as I said previously, always busy so I must be in a minority!

Now in my top 3 favourite breakfasts. Really, really nice. Full English is huge and lush. Brioche French Toast amazing. Great leaf tea. Staff are wonderful. Lovely atmosphere. Dogs welcome too. We are now officially regulars! Highly recommended.

The Japanese chicken burger is the best burger I can remember having. Couldn’t think of anything that would make the food better. Very busy place for good reason. Lovely interior design. The drinks were also 10/10

Lovely little place. Really good food with lots of veggie and vegan options.

The staff are fantastic, very attentive but not hovering over you.

Great and tasty food.

Recommended.

Food was good - fairly pricey but good ingredients and the presentation and the service was friendly and attentive too. Only real gripe was that the place was freezing cold - I know heating costs are high right now but if I'm spending nearly £30 on a couple of breakfasts I'd prefer not to succumb to hypothermia before I finish my meal
