Husband and I called in this morning and had a full English each. Food arrived in good time and was piping hot. Everything was really nice, hash browns were nice and crispy, good quality bacon, sausage and beans, real butter for toast too. We had tea which is included in the price and had two cups each from the pot. The staff were very friendly and pleasant and even asked if we would like a portion of "doggie sausage" which our little Jack Russel enjoyed. Would recommend, prices on the menu were reasonable with a variety of different choices on offer.

Lovely little cafe. Nice food, coffee and cake. Friendly staff. Would visit again

We stopped here for a bite to eat on a day out, glad we did lush, chicken burger, chips and onion rings homemade coleslaw, lovely crispy chicken burger, we had a hot chocolate and caramel latte as we were sitting outside because of the dog. All in all good service friendly staff and good food what's not to like about that keep it up if we are in the area again we will stop off again. Even the dog got a cheeky bit of proper sausage which she loved.

Myself, my mum, sister & niece visited Time Out on a very rainy Saturday for some lunch. The staff were very accommodating, asking if we needed another chair and letting us know they could get us one if we needed it. Ordering at the counter was easy and our drinks were brought to our table quite quickly. I had a lovely caramel latte (although I don’t think you need a saucer with a latte glass. They make it difficult to carry and can be dangerous). For lunch I had a Stilton & red onion panini which was so tasty, crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. The accompanying salad was fresh and had a lovely dressing on it and the Dorito type crisps made a welcoming change. All in all a pleasant lunch with lovely, friendly staff at reasonable prices. Would recommend (as long as you don’t need the toilet which is unfortunately not in the same unit and up several stairs which could be a problem for elderly or physically challenged people). Very nice, Thank you.

Discovered this little gem yesterday. Really nice food, we had the chillie con carne, which was super and served promptly. Very welcoming.

Good varied menu, decent, honest food and Donna and the team are very bubbly and friendly. On my last visit here, they were happy to accommodate us even though they were about to close. Nothing is too much trouble for them. Lovely atmosphere in the cafe. Toilets are upstairs and there is a key to the ladies and gents toilets which are provided in the café. Will visit again when in Melton Mowbray.
