Fantastic Irish Cafe in the middle of Chippenham. Prices are excellent and superb value for money overall.Has a real Irish feel to it: when you walk in it's like you've stepped into another country in a different period of history. To date my favourite place to get a fry up across the breadth of the UK.

Fab place! Huge, tasty portions, great value. Really nice vibe, great music. We're about an hour away, but will make a point of coming to Chippenham for shopping just to come here. The fact it does all day breakfast ( none of this " breakfast stops at 11.30" rubbish) is brilliant. Also it takes cash. We boycott card only places now. Wish it was closer to home, or we'd be on twice a week!

Stopped off in Chippenham to grab something to eat on route to Castle Combe. Walked past the café and saw it was almost full and thought it was worth a try. What a lovely surprise. The welcome was warm and the menu had a good selection. The service was quick considering the café was full. My husband had a breakfast and I had a burger, both were well cooked and delicious. The latte coffees were excellent as well. The prices were very reasonable. There was a small sign on the wall that said cash only. Luckily we did have cash on us because I did not see a sign on entering and it was not mentioned when we ordered. One small drawback there is no toilet, however the pub next door seem happy for you to use theirs. Glad we found this place and will use again if in the area.

Fab place, great, generous portions of well priced food with large drinks- no tiny little cups here! Love that it does breakfast until closing ( none of this 11.30am limit rubbish) Good atmosphere & music. Love that it takes cash- none of this card only nonsense. Wish we lived nearer, would be in twice a week!

I’ve been here several times over the years and have generally been happy with the quality of the food. However, this was not the case on this visit. I ordered the large breakfast and my children went for smaller ones. When they came out, although the number of food items were more on the large breakfast, the portion sizes of the individual elements were smaller (1 tinned tomato and a small spoonful of beans on the large but 2 tomatoes and a huge scoop of beans on the smaller plates). Also the promised soda bread didn’t arrive and I had to ask for it. It definitely wasn’t worth paying to go large. But most disappointing was the quality of the food, the sausages were horrible, they certainly didn’t contain much meat and left an unpleasant aftertaste. I’m sure on previous visit, the sausages were a higher quality. The boxty pancake was limp, luke warm and tasteless and the bacon cold and flabby. The highlight were the fried eggs which were cooked to perfection but one did come out a few minutes after the rest of the breakfast. The soda bread when it arrived was nice. I had hoped to order a second cup of tea but the server was too busy to check on us. On reflection, I can’t imagine we’ll go back when there are other establishments that serve much better food. I wonder if Jolly’s has had it’s day!!

Excellent atmosphere, staff, and food. My only issue would be that a couple of seats could do with repairs/re-stuffing last time I was there, but that might be sorted now. This place has a wonderful, genuine feel to it that leaves you certain that those who run it genuinely love the place and what they do. The legitimate Irish accents help too.

We enjoyed our meal and the hospitality. We will be back to try some more of the menu. I don't have anything bad to say.

Lovely Little cafe, staff friendly and the food was great, great selection of different breakfast options on the brunch menu, well worth visiting
Love going to Jollys cafe in Chippenham with my family and friends, its fantastic food & great prices. Im dairy free & they have gluten free/ vegan options which is fantastic, definitely worth a visit.

I have lived all over the UK due to my job and because of my job have eaten in a lot of cafes for breakfasts, but no cafe other than jollies has ever had me tell people to go there. Jollys Irish Cafe has been part of my families dining tradition for over 20 years! After the birth of one of my younger sisters the parents went to jollys for a breakfast. When I say it's breakfasts are great, it's not me just selling the food but the atmosphere and the connection with staff and owner. Nicola should be proud of her cafe and it's place in the community. Any person worth their salt should eat here, and no where else for a great breakfast in Wiltshire.

I’ve been going to Jolly’s for the last 8 years & always absolutely loved it ! Recommending it to everyone as the best place in Chippenham to get a decent cooked breakfast made with quality ingredients. So no cheap sausages or vinegary tomato sauce. I’m sad to say, today was the first time I was really disappointed in the quality & taste of the breakfast. I know Jolly’s has had issues with costs lately & was under threat of closure. I saw the crowd funding page & donated as I wanted to support this lovely business. I can only assume in efforts to reduce costs, they are now sourcing cheaper, reduced quality supplies. But please Jolly’s, go back to the good quality sausages and proper brands for tomatoe sauce & beans, you used to use. It really does make all the difference & I would happily pay more, to help support your business, for the pleasure of enjoying the premium breakfast you have always previously served, in this cafe’s unique quirky environment.

Good value for money and friendly staff. Not sure if the chef was trying to tell me something (see breakfast photo). ?
