Staff lovely always asking if everything’s alright, very friendly and polite, nothing too much to ask. Decorated so lovely inside didn’t get a picture but looked so cute with the valentines decorations still up on the tree. Tasty food, great quality served HOT and drinks also fantastic. Was the first time visiting here after finding it on Google and me and my friend would go back in a heart beat
Wanted to try somewhere new so Google searched and came across The Yard Bistro. Really pleased we gave it a try, as we had delicious food and very friendly service in the lovely cafe. Food was freshly cooked and our requested changes & extras were happily accommodated. We’ll definitely be going again.
Friday 18 July 2025 : had French toast pancakes with delicious strawberry’s and cream off the special board OMG absolutely delicious ..
4 of us had brunch on a Sunday, was busy so also a bit noisy. Waited almost an hour for food. 1 order wrong, ham used looked a bit cheap and not much flavour, Omlette could do with a side as standard-beans,tomatoes? Nice drinks and staff.
Lovely little bistro for breakfast. Good atmosphere and service was great. Coffee was lovely and very tasty. Pancakes one morning. Cooked breakfast the next morning. All was really good. Place was packed and tables reserved on a Saturday and Sunday morning, so if you don't want to risk it then call in advance.
Dropped in randomly as I work on the road and not from the area… I’m so glad I did! The food was absolutely delicious, service was perfect and the staff were so attentive. Generally just a really lovely atmosphere and place to be
