First time going today, and myself, family members really enjoyed it! We had English breakfast and pancakes which was really good! The ladies serving were so friendly, polite and welcoming! The food was delicious, great portion sizes and great prices!….we will be coming back! You can walk in or you can book a pod if you would like too. 100% recommend and will be returning

Booked Lillies for a friends Birthday Lunch and so we booked a pod! The pods are heated so although it was cold outside we were warm and cosy. Ordered the Turkey Roast Dinner and it was really lovely, so much food on the plate and such value for money. Staff were so friendly, they noticed the presents and card for our friend and all were wishing her Happy Birthday, they were so welcoming and couldn't recommend this lovely little find more. Be warned! the menu is vast and it's so hard to decide what to choose as everything is amazing. Well done to all the staff at Lillies, I will definitely be returning soon. Thank you :-)

Went to Lillies cafe for first time today at lunchtime, we had booked a pod with our neighbours, quite frankly the whole experience was a disaster and definitely wouldn’t recommend or go there again. The fish and chips my husband had should never have left the kitchen, probably rejected by another customer and then reserved.Absolutely disgusting and no way was it cod as we had been told. My pie and mash was served 20 minutes after everyone else had their meal and mine was just warm, obviously been left and forgotten about. And finally had to go into the cafe and ask for our cutlery. Staff not very enthusiastic and sauce bottles were dirty the whole experience was not pleasant. A complete and utter waste of money. Had my husband and I been without company we would have complained immediately. Lillies. Cafe really need to up their game in all areas of hospitality.

Loved the pods outside. Great all weather dining space that is comfortable & good for social distancing. Service was great, food was delicious & generous portions at a reasonable price. Will definitely come here again.

Inexpensive for the quality and venue. Service not particularly friendly. iPad wasn’t working, but really wasn’t needed either. Black pudding undercooked. Good all in all though. Want to give 4.5 stars… £15 for two breakfasts, tea and a couple of additions.

When deciding where to go for lunch with my friend and our mums, we stumbled across ‘The Lillies cafe’ the menu looked nice as there was a lot to choose from and they had a selection of vegan options for my friend however when we arrived there was little customer service which continued throughout the whole time we were there, they didn’t have any of the vegan options that were offered on their menu and could only offer her a plain jacket potato or a bowl of chips. When ordering my friends mum was asked if she’d like salad with her wrap which she did and when it arrived she had a tiny bit inside of the wrap and no salad on the side which she’d been offered. We were only given a time slot of 1hr 30 minutes which is fine however they were not hugely busy we sat for a long while with our empty plates in front of us, we were not asked if we’d like any more drinks or if we’d like a dessert and were instead given the bill without asking for it and told to “look at the bill as the slot is nearly over”. It’s such a shame because we’d have probably spent the afternoon in there however due to the experience were cut short and went elsewhere. I wouldn’t go there again.

Excellent food. Excellently cooked. Excellent pricing . Excellent service. Excellent selection on the menu. 4 of us ordered and it was fairly busy. Our food was served in under 20 minutes. Need I say anymore !
