Sandwich Makers has become our regular Saturday breakfast spot. Gary and his team always make us feel welcome from the moment we walk in. The food is consistently great, and they’re happy to adjust things if you ask. The staff are polite, friendly, and make the place feel relaxed. You can tell Gary takes pride in looking after his customers, which is why we keep coming back. A proper local café with good food and even better service.

A lovely traditional cafe With friendly staff and great food cooked to order. Really reasonable and obviously popular with the community. Lots of parking and plenty of variety. What’s not to like

Gary is patient, getting on with lots of orders. Love the atmosphere, the signs are really cool. They often have little cakes or bakes they give you for free on special occasions-easter, Christmas etc. very relaxing in the cafe. Great food and good value for money too

What a great find. We regularly stop here (at least twice a week) when we are going past on the M25 far better than the motorway services. At the moment very socially distanced. The food has never let us down and the staff are so welcoming. From a simple sandwich to a full blown English Breakfast, it’s absolutely luverly and delicious., and a great mug of tea. The staff tell me that they now deliver, so if you’re local that’s a great service, shame we don’t live a bit closer. Thank you Sandwich Makers Diner
