Bayview Cafe, Boyes

Great steak pie and apple pie for lunch. Great service from the ladies behind the counter. Very friendly and chatty

I contacted Boyes head office to complain but received no response. It seems they have already taken your money and that's the end of it. I was disappointed to be charged £6.50 for a dry scone with a small portion of butter, and the coffee was also overpriced.

I ordered an English breakfast and the bacon was extremely overcooked. The restaurant is decent, but I wouldn't recommend it as the food is not worth the price. The tables at which we were seated were dirty with crumbs, and the cups and cutlery were not properly cleaned. Visualizza piatti

We love this cafe! The views are amazing, tables are well spaced out, no background music so it is lovely and peaceful. Food is amazing value and very tasty. The steak pie is full of meat and the gravy is proper meaty gravy, not instant. Good service. Hoping they do Christmas dinner again this year.

The café is on the top floor of the building and you can get tables looking out over the beach and sand scenic. The service was very friendly, but a little chaotic. Main meals we reasonable prices) £7 or £8) and very good, but the cake for dessert came in at £3.75 which is a lot for cake! I'd eat here again, but buy a whole cake at the supermarket instead!

I go here regularly for their famous steak pie. Never had a bad meal there. Steak pie, chips and peas with gravy has always been very, very tasty and nice. Totally lean steak (no gristle or fat) and delicious gravy. Great meal and good value. I can recommend the tea as well. Nice cuppa and you get 3 cups of tea out of the pot for £1.90. The restaurant has great views over the bay on one side, and a much larger seating area with nice views over the town. There's also a really interesting museum within the restaurant, that shows the history of Boyes department store. Visualizza piatti

The café is located on the top floor of the store and offers two seating areas. One area is furnished with sofas and easy chairs while the other has more basic tables and chairs. The café offers fantastic views overlooking the bay and sea to the south, as well as the town to the north. They serve traditional fare without fancy coffees like cappuccinos. I enjoyed a toasted tea cake and a black coffee during my visit. The menu also includes breakfast options, steak pie, scampi, and quiche. Although I didn't have time for a full meal, the steak pie looked very appealing. The staff were friendly and the café was kept clean.

Called in at 12-15 noon,wasn't sure what I wanted until I got there and decided, I looked at the cooked food and opted for just a slice of lemon meringue and tea for one. I had seen the food and how it was kept warm,the bacon was in a sort of liquid(god knows what) somebody's eggs were being kept warm till their meal was ready to put on a plate and slid off to join the 2 bits of bacon beans and chips! Another meal was plated up of steak pie, the slice had been reheated and was dried up round the edges then covered with gravy.Yet there was a full fresh steak pie showing on the counter.There were only 2 women serving both either taking food to tables or taking orders. this is on a busy lunch t...

So decided to give this place another try.I was there with my teenage grandaughter.She used to love the quiche,but was 2 bits left( approx 1-30 Saturday afternoon The, what would have been lovely steak pie, was totally dried up.While I waited to be served ,saw a Bacon/egg sandwich being made up(should have walked out there and then! 2 bits of sizzling overdone bits of bacon were being put into a bread bun ,which was upside down anyway,one of the slices fell out onto the top of the hot serving dishes,and picked up by hand(no tongs or gloves and plonked onto said bread bun,then an overcooked egg (at least on the bottom was passed through the serving hatch to be added! approx 4-5 butter packets...
