When it comes to the menu, guests rave about the culinary offerings, particularly the full English breakfast, which has garnered praise from many satisfied customers. Imagine biting into perfectly cooked sausages, crispy bacon, and fluffy scrambled eggs, all served with freshly toasted bread and a generous dollop of butter.

Was going on a Pub Crawl, starting in the Pilot and was looking for a local Cafe for Breakfast to start the day. Found Venue 39 on Google, read the reviews, so thought we would give it a go. We were not disappointed, the Place, Atmosphere, Seating, Service and Food were fantastic. Such a warm welcome when we walked in, there was a group of us, so the owner pre-prepared some of our Breakfast and waited for the whole group to arrive, so that we did not have to wait too long after. The Breakfast was amazing, Full English, brilliantly cooked, great ingredients and very very tasty and great value for money, we were all full at the end of it. I would highly recommend the cafe if you around the area, we will definitely be back. Breakfast was so great, we were tempted to stick around for lunch :-). Thank you so much for a lovely morning, it set our day off perfectly.

I got the English breakfast and it was fantastic! The latte was great as well. The wait may be a little longer since it seems the cafe is a one-man operation but we weren’t in a rush. Lovely overall!

A great little secret place. The entrance is hidden, but what a great space with ping pong tables, chilled, relaxed, and cool hang out. The chef was so accommodating, lovely and even made a gluten free omelette option too. The food was superb! I really don’t want to post to let this secret of a little gem “get out”

Talked to the owner who runs the place on hes own. This little cafe should get a lot more exposure as its a brilliant place. The owner had slightly different political views to mine but we had a very fulfilling conversation. And He knows how to cook. Thanks Uwe.

Didn’t know this gem was here. Pop in to Two tyres to get a new set of tyres and the guy in there said about this place. I ordered the fully Monty and a cup of tea. The food is cooked in front of you and a nice slap of butter for you to butter your toast. It was good quality ingredients used full of favour.There is a football table in here as well as table tennis. Would definitely eat here again. Good place to wait while you bike is being serviced by the many of motorcycles workshops here.

Finally, a proper English breakfast! I had an absolutely amazing English breakfast at Venue 39 Café – probably the most authentic and delicious one I’ve ever had. Everything was super fresh, cooked to order, and you can really taste the quality in every bite. The owner is also the chef, and you can tell he puts real passion into everything he does. He’s friendly, welcoming, and knows how to make you feel at home. The café itself is truly one of a kind, with a unique vibe and attention to detail that sets it apart from any other place in the area. Highly recommended if you’re looking for genuine food, great atmosphere, and a memorable experience. I’ll definitely be back!
