Thoroughly recommend this cafe, delicious food and friendly atmosphere. Prices low, plenty of choice of either a main meal or snack. Our first choice for lunch when in town.

Fabulous cafeteria, spacious and very clean and friendly, The best thing for me was that I was able to get porridge before my omelette, it was mouth watering. My husband had a full cooked English breakfast with toast and coffee. We will definitely be back.

I took part in the Summer Fayre today and the atmosphere was lovely in the cafe. All the staff were friendly and welcoming, and the ham and cheese toastie for lunch was lush.

Just to say after reading the previous review I am confused by the comments made? We have been in Betsy Jenny since 9am this morning with our stall, we have not seen any shouting or finger pointing at all. The manager and the staff have been nothing but kind and welcoming! The work they are doing here is amazing would highly recommend a visit. Amazing people.

Very friendly place, staff were lovely, I really liked this place. Decor is clean and colourful, a bright and happy place to eat. I had homemade quiche with chips and a nice fresh salad. I'd had my quota of coffee for the day, unfortunately, so I can't comment on that but my pot of tea was very good as was my food I don't get to the city centre much but glad I know a good place is certainly go back to. Community orientated so I'd recommend giving it a try
