I Had breakfast today in the John Peel in Shaftesbury, Ham,Egg and Chips. After a half hour wait my foot arrived and i decided to put some vinegar on my chips, I wasn't quite looking at where the vinegar was going as i was also reading a text i had just received. When i stoped and looked at my food it was covered in eight dead flies which came out the vinegar bottle.I reported this to the lady at the till who didn't seem to interested, I picked the flies out and put them on my napkin ate two chips and left feeling very disgusted in the whole thing.Don't thing i will be going back thereAlan

Popped in for breakfast ? and wasn't disappointed at all, it was delicious ? good portion size too, we had the peel breakfast and couldn't finish it, eyes bigger than our bellys. Tea is refilled as well for no extra cost, bargain.The staff were very friendly and helpful the premises were clean and the toilets were spotlessly clean too with free sanitary products, amazing touch. Thankyou for a good experience all round, highly recommended.

Ordered a portion of chips, very small. Used to go here often but disappointed overall this time. Salad was not of good quality and tasted like it wasn’t very fresh. Fizzy drinks quite expensive and glass not overly clean.Toilets very basic

Great place but since the new manager has taken over it has gone down hill. Waited for over an hour and still had not received my food . I decided to ask for my money back . The two women that were in there were rushed off their feet and lovely as always . 10 customs walked out whilst I was waiting as no one came to serve them . What has happened to all the staff?

Spiffy breakfast x2 really hit the spot ? Well worth the price. Had to stop ourselves from locking the plates ??Vegetarian options: Good quality (no stupid frills) breakfast ?

Probably the worst breakfast I have ever had. The toast was burnt. The sausage just tasted of pepper. And why!! Cheap tomatoe sauce.??

Cheap and cheerful. Dont expect high class (my cutllery wasn't clean) but you will get value for money and a friendly atmosphere. Very fast service, tasty cooked breaky, suitable portion, all with a coffee for under £7 (June 2023). Will go again!

Cheap and cheerful in the best possible way, we have enjoyed food here several times and always rate it good value for money. The food is mainly “cafe food”, such as an all day breakfast and variants. It is our go to cafe when in Shaftesbury.

Cooks should probably learn to prep their section a little better and they wouldn't fall behind so easily. Also, why on earth are they running cutlery? How about the person on the till taking your order puts it on the tray?
