Village Cafe Stanstead Abbotts

I have visited this restaurant a few times. The staff is always very friendly. I have tried the full English breakfast and some bacon sandwiches. The food is decent, but it is not the best traditional breakfast I have had. It is more like basic 'greasy spoon' type food. It would be nice if they had some more unique or special menu items. For example, the cooked tomatoes are from a tin rather than fresh, and the sausages are average quality, not like the high-quality farm sausages you might expect in a country location. Overall, the restaurant is good but has the potential to be better. The coffee is not great, and they seem to have issues with accepting card payments at times. It would be beneficial for them to improve the site and add more outdoor seating (where allowed) to attract more customers. Despite its shortcomings, the restaurant is popular due to limited dining options in the area and it does satisfy the 'greasy spoon' craving when needed.

I visit Stansted Abbotts occasionally to visit my sister who lives there. During most of my visits, I always make sure to stop by the Village Cafe for breakfast. Each time, the kind lady at the counter greets us warmly and takes our order promptly, while the friendly waitress is always willing to assist and engage in pleasant conversation. I am eagerly looking forward to my next visit.

My recent visit to this cafe was prompted by running out of gas at a nearby festival. Despite being extremely busy, the staff informed us of a possible wait time, which we were fine with. The interior was clean and pleasant, the staff were friendly and hard working, but most importantly, the food was excellent. Despite the rush, our meal was cooked to perfection with great quality ingredients. The bubble and squeak was particularly delicious. I would highly recommend this cafe, as it offers good prices and a lovely atmosphere.

This must be the best café in town. It is clean, friendly, and offers large portions of freshly cooked food. There is also a parking area across the road, which I think is called Rat House. It is not suitable for vehicles larger than 3.5 tons, however.

Popped in for quick cup of tea whilst awaiting a friend who had an appointment nearby. Place was very clean and tidy and staff were polite. Will definitely return and have more off the varies menu
