Thought we'd pop in and have some lunch today and wow things have changed since last time we had visited. They have the new pods and an amazing menu.I had the Ham and Cheese ppl pitchman and for eight quid you get a lot.Afters was carrot cake, as the cheese cake was sold out.. boo, and that too was nice.Staff friendly and the food came out quickly. Will deffo be back again.The only thing that wasn't 100% was that the cube you pressed for service didn't seem to work. Colours changed but not much else happened..

Lovely little restaurant, pods are great and food is great. Whether it's a cheeky gammon and chips, jacket potatoes or panini always will be good. Prices second to none, always a great visit

Went here with my parents for breakfast today - absolutely cannot fault it! Exceptional food, friendly service and a lovely place for breakfast! The pods are lovely, the food was delicious and the music choice was good! Highly recommend it! Everyone else's food looked amazing as well! Definitely go if you haven't already! Brilliant ⭐️ p.s. the milkshakes are amazing ??

Came here for a pit stop lunch! We often drive down to go in the aquatics place next door. Been coming here pretty much since it started as a little cafe. The food is always fresh hot and tasty and above all very reasonable. Ive told lots of my friends about it who also now go there. All of the staff are lovely and attentive. Its even better now there are pods. I popped here this week with my daughters and hubby. We were put into pod 2. My only complaint is that we were sitting looking at a trolley with dirty plates empty bottles etc. The other problem is there is a bin right by the table. We had some flies flitting about so it was somewhat annoying. Unfortuntely there were no other pods free so we had to suffer it. Will def keep going back as the food is lovely as are the staff. Jamie works very hard and deserves the many positive reviews. We will def go for a pod again but not no. 2.

Nice little cafe with good choice of menu. Staff are friendly and helpful. Added outside dining pods since I last visited which look lovely.

We went last night (Sat 2nd July) and was very impressed with the superb food and friendly service. The cost was significantly less than if you went to a pub/restaurant and would recommend anyone to go and try their menu. Everyone on our table really enjoyed their food and the experience. We cycled there so we could enjoy a few beers - they have bottled ale as well as wine and some great cocktails - our other halves had great Pina Coladas. The atmosphere was great as they had great music playing (70's and 80's disco) at a sensible level so it wasn't loud and intrusive. Go give them a try - they worked hard last night to make us feel welcome and they deserve to make it a success ????

We have visited The Lillies Café, as a family of five, in excess of ten times - for either breakfast or lunch. Each time we've been, we've had great experiences. The food is excellent, the portions are generous and the prices are fair. The venue itself is pleasant, with the pods in the garden being a great addition; they are warm when it's cold (with heating built-in to each pod) and shaded/cool when it's hot (the heavy plastic sheeting which borders each pod, can be rolled up & fastened away when it's hot outside). The owner and staff are a friendly bunch; they always have a smile on their faces, and all are very flexible and accommodating of off-menu orders (our girls have eclectic tastes - literally!). I really can't fault the place, at all. An honest, unpretentious, friendly, no-fuss café. Top notch. Pro tip: The steak baguette and milkshakes are excellent!

We ate in a pod this evening as a group of 4 friends.
Fantastic food, brilliant service, friendly chat.
I cannot praise the food enough- lots of choice for all three courses ( we each had two courses as the portions are so generous). Dessert choice was great.
YOU need to attend there in the evening g to try out this great place for yourself.
The evening menu is to be 5* recommended.
Thank you to everyone ay Lillies for a lovey evening meal with great people who served us- you deserve to do well ??

A group of 8 of us went to Lillies for lunch today. We booked ahead as it gets super busy and is very popular. The pods outside are great, and the service is quick and always with a smile. The food was really good - jacket potatoes are huge with a great selection of fillings. The baguettes are also filling and such good value. Will definitely return and recommend to friends. Thanks for a lovely time

We love eating in the pods, (booking is essential). The food is fantastic, with generous portions. You can call for a server or book online via the tablet attached to your table. Staff are friendly which is always a bonus. Definitely recommend this place ?

Hi, we had a really lovely meal, in a pod for the first time in the evening. So different and with soft lighting. Food was very nice and lots of it. Staff were very nice and very polite and welcoming and very efficient. Will definitely come again. So thank you.
