I always wanted to try this place out: today was the day. And it was a wrong one! I ordered “pancakes with fruits, whipped cream and maple syrup”.. from the pic as you can see.. there are missing half of the ingredients and those balls.. were not pancakes at all. Did you mean to sell “mini pancakes?” Fine. But those were round, not fluffy, the though was without taste ... I was served without cutlery. I waited a while, but nothing. So I had to go and wait at the till to ask for them. When the waiter came over to the table with cutlery and (10’ later) with my partner order.. pancakes as well.. there were missing ingredients. Then I asked for them: they brought me a weird cream which was not w...
What a **** awful experience. Popped in at about 11:40 for some Saturday Brunch. Was seated inside at the cleaner of the tables that there were. Most were streaked with food and crumbs and apparently had been like it a while. The server came across and gave the table a quick spray and wipe which got about 60% of the surface cleaner but missed a lot of crumbs and ketchup. I’ve never seen the like of it slapdash and useless. Was then presented with a grubby menu which actually, seemed quite appetising and came to a decision. At this point the sever came over to explain the kitchen was closed which came as a bit of a surprise for a brunch place and clearly other folk who overheard were also as...
I went to By the Bridge last Saturday and though the staff were pleasant and the atmosphere was nice, I was disappointed with my breakfast. The apple juice was good, but the French toast was disappointing. The fruit was not very fresh, and there was no maple syrup provided. The sweet cream that was supposed to come with it tasted like a store-bought yogurt. The toast itself was thin, soggy, and unappetizing. The whole meal cost around $8.70, and while I might go back for tea and cake, I wouldn't return for the French toast, which should be an easy dish to get right.
Visited this morning for a coffee during our Sunday stroll: liked the look from the outside and that's about as good as it gets. £2.95 for what is a latte when asked for a flat white. Not much flavour and lukewarm. I like to support independent businesses but I can get a Costa flat white for £2.60. And get a friendly welcome. Both of which were lacking here. It gets my back up when you try to support independents but you're exploited in the price, let down in the quality, and treated with disdain by the owner. Won't be coming again.

I was very surprised when my salmon and eggs came.. It looked delicious.. My girls had full English.. It also looked amazing. The toasts were perfect. The whole experience was lovely. The service was very good, they are even dog friendly, so I could sit down inside with my two chihuahuas.. I highly recommend this cafe.. I will be returning with more friends
One of the strangest policies I’ve come across no laptops allowed. I was just about to spend a couple hours getting on with work but no possible now. Very good way of loosing business. Other than that sticky tables, and my flat white was a plain coffee with milk. Front of House were lovely management is the issue here.
We stopped here during our riverside walk and had coffee and a cake. It's reasonably priced and caters for vegan, vegetarian and serves gluten free food as well. There are a few tables outside on the pavement. The service was a bit slow but we were not in a hurry, however my partner's cake was a bit small!
The coffee at this restaurant is delicious and the staff gives a warm welcome. I particularly enjoy their strong Macchiato, which is lovely and not too bitter. The chocolate cake I tried two weeks ago was amazing. I can't wait to try their breakfast and brunch menu in the next day or two.

Don't be fooled by the dated mish-mash appearance of By The Bridge, their food is freshly prepared and consistently good. The staff can be a little reserved with their welcome and service but if it's a good bite to eat you are after, this can be a good choice.
I had dinner at this restaurant on Saturday and thoroughly enjoyed the delicious food. The young lady playing classical guitar created a charming atmosphere. I will definitely be returning in the future.
