Shakespeare's Cafe And Sandwich Bar

If you're after a no-nonsense, good value lunch in town, Shakespeare's Cafe is worth a shout. It's got a solid 4.3 stars on Google from nearly 100 reviews, so people generally leave happy. It's definitely more of a quick bite kind of place than somewhere to linger for hours, though.

They do your usual cafe fare: sandwiches, jacket potatoes, that sort of thing. I wouldn't call it a destination for coffee snobs, but they do a decent cuppa to go with your bacon butty. They always seem to have a cake or two on offer as well, if you need something sweet. It's a good option if you’re caught in town on a rainy day and fancy a quick warm-up.

Shakespeare's is open 9am to 2:30pm weekdays, and Saturday mornings until 1:30pm, but closed Sundays. Give them a ring on 01704 500005 if you want to check anything. They have a facebook page, but I wouldn't rely on that for accurate opening hours.
