Highwayman Cafe Reviews Summary

Food Quality

• "It’s the best hot sandwich I’ve had in a long time."
• "Fantastic bacon sandwich! 3 thick slices (crispy), as I like it!!"

• "The food is very good and freshly cooked the staff are very helpful."
• "The food is well cooked and presented."
• "Food and menu options good."

Cons:

• "The sausage tastes really cheap, years ago they were like Lincolnshire sausage...not anymore."
• "The best thing about his cafe was that it had toilets.....the staff are miserable and the food is expensive for poor quality."
• "For the price that's charged you expect better quality food. Only 2 sausages for £4.50, very poor quality."
• "Sign of the times, cheap ingredients with little flavour, avoid the sauce condiments."
• "Scruffy decor. Have never had chopped, canned tomatoes with an English breakfast before."
• "The sausages that were served seemed to be full of strange rusk, not like elsewhere."
• "Was nice to stop at a roadside cafe, usually pass by on way to coast but never stopped for a drink, restrooms are basic and expected to be as is a roadside cafe but clean."
• "Waited 40 minutes for a overpriced, poor quality sausage sandwich."

Service

• "Had to wait over 15 minutes for two bacon and egg baps, the bacon was cold."
• "The staff opened up the ice cream booth for us which was very kind. Unfortunately though the ice cream was all gritty."
• "If you want SERVING do not get take away. The preference for serving speed is in the cafe."
• "Waited ages to get served in cafe area standing at the counter. Just kept getting ignored."
• "Ideally located for travelling to the North East to stop to rest up for food and drink, toilets you have to pay 20p for."

Value for Money

Pros:

• "Plenty of car parking, the toilets are free if you’re a paying customer."
• "This is a perfect stop off. It's a well priced, clean, classic British cafe."
• "Nice little pull in off the A64. Fish finger bun and Cornish pasty both decent for the price."
• "Normally I review pubs But on the way to trial some pubs stopped off & have to highly recommend!"

Cons:

• "Food very expensive, all the food was deep fried except eggs."
• "Had to wait over 15 minutes for two bacon and egg baps, at £5.50 per sandwich I would have expected far better quality."
• "Sign of the times, cheap ingredients with little flavour, avoid the sauce condiments. How they can charge an extra 45p for a little extra water in a slightly bigger mug is questionable."
• "The best thing about his cafe was that it had toilets.....the staff are miserable and the food is expensive for poor quality."
• "For the price that's charged you expect better quality food. Went 2 days running."
• "Fantastic food the amount you get for £9.95 large breakfast is absolutely scam more like a small."
• "Waited 40 minutes for a overpriced, poor quality sausage sandwich."
