This “great independent cafe recently changed hands when the owner sold it on to the longstanding manager” and, having initially been open just during the day (“very good salads and quiches” plus other South African-slanted breakfasts and brunch dishes and “excellent coffee”), it’s now also back to offering more complex meals at weekend dinners. Insufficient reports for a rating at this time of change.

This “friendly and popular local cafe” has won an enviable reputation over two decades for its “spectacular breakfast or brunch, with South African specialities”. On Friday and Saturday nights they gear up for proper evening meals with various bobotie and braai variations, too.

This South African-run Beaconsfield staple remains a treat for its “fabulous lunches” (from “wonderful” salads to “generous sandwiches especially on their signature grain”), and on Friday and Saturday nights they put on their gladrags for gin cocktails and a seasonal dinner menu.

This Saffa-owned café, handy for the station, is “a firm favourite”, where the “freshly made quiches and salads are a highlight” – though they also serve the “best coffee in Beaconsfield” and reporters “like the varied South African dishes on the menu” too.

For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
