Old Kiln Cafe - Menu

We had roast chicken and all the trimmingsWith rubarb pie with custardDon't get much better than that Go and try it yourself

Lovely freshly cooked food. It was very hot and tasty. Great omelette and chips. The cakes looked good but we were to full to try them.

Place looks run down, not clean,tables not clean,floor dirty.We decided to look around the site and come back to the cafe to see if had improved or anyone was making a attemp to clean,but no,outside tables dirty and not brushed.On that basis decided not to eat probably wise.Wanted to enjoy the rest of our day so left.

We took a picnic as one of our number is a fussy eater, so only visited for tea and cake. However, once we saw the food being served we knew we had made a mistake. Our cake was delicious but the food being served to other customers made our mouths water. You can even turn up for a roast lunch on most Sundays, apparently.

I organised a corporate event on behalf of the Institute of Roofing London Southern Counties Region at the Rural Life Centre and Jay could not have provided a better selection of fresh cooked delicacies for the IoR members. Although this was a business meeting nothing was too much trouble for Jay and his team at the Old Kiln Café. I looked at their extensive brilliantly priced menus that included breakfast, light lunch and full lunch menu. what a great café.

Popped in for a quick lunch and as we have found before, made very welcome. The order was quickly taken and done so with a smile and short chat. The hot food arrived quickly as well and it was fab. Chicken and leek pie with veg and at my request chips rather than the new spuds.They accept Jess our Bulldog without issues, although the gift shop said we wouldn't be allowed in with her. We knew this not to be the case. I would check that your dog would be ok in the cafe. If its wet and covered in mud expect not to be admitted.Prices are very good and food well presented and cooked. Warm and welcoming on a cold overcast day.

We couldn't really get enthusiastic about anything on the menu. The Ploughman's was a possibility but as we were a bit chilled by walking around the Rural Life Centre we decided for a hot meal. We have eaten too many burgers over the last few days so went for the Fish and Chips with a cup of tea. Very traditional.The fish was slightly on the small side but all in all probably as good as could be expected. The meal filled a hole but you wouldn't bring a girl here to propose to her unless you didn't want to get married.Another increasingly frequent site is the staff coming out to sit near you for their fag break after the chips are done and this café was no exception.

Was feeling a little fragile on a late Sunday morning and decided to get a bit of brekkie and some fresh air, only most places stop service breakfast at 11.30 and this was 12.15 thank goodness for Kiln Cafe, beautifully presented, quality food (except cut bread but not too worried about that as bacon and sausage was superb . Excellent value, great coffee, lovely staff, good atmosphere and the cafe was spotlessly clean. Outside loos are not good but not cafes fault that's down to the rural life centre and the clues in the name a bit rural (campers will be fine! so I can survive a shabby loo! The roast dinners that came out of the kitchen looked fabulous too. Will definitely return

Visited while at the attached Rural Life Centre, but you can come in without paying for that.It's cosy in a dated sort of way inside, which is perhaps the plan, to tie in with the Centre!My children and I visited at lunchtime and it took an absolute age to be served, not because the staff weren't working flat out, as they were, but just because it seems like a popular place and there were plenty of customers. Queuing was also made tricky as the queue goes right by the tables, so probably not that great for people eating in the inside area either. Once we got to the front all was easy to do and the order efficiently taken.We headed to an outside table there are lots out there so this is a bet...
