This was my first visit to Damsons and it was a very good visit. The food was lovely and the staff were very lovely and obliging. The decor is light and airy and it is nice to see they have not tried to cram too many tables into the space. I will definitely visit again soon!

First visit, and what a lovely little place! Initially I was a little bit disappointed to see only 3 selections of cakes on offer (plus scones), but my goodness, what amazingly delicious cakes we chose! It may also have been because the breakfasts are the main choice at 9am, not cakes, haha! I opted for a lemon drizzle and my daughter had the carrot cake. Both were moist and tasty. The lemon was very strong (which I like) and the carrot cake was just perfect. We shared a luxury hot chocolate as we'd never manage one each with the cakes as well! It was lovely, although the chocolate was a bit "thick" tasting for me. Not a complaint at all, just a matter of personal taste. We saw the breakfast cobs (rolls/baps etc!) come out and they were huge and filled full of various items. We will definitely be back another time! Very clean including the toilets too. Well recommended, and make sure you book as it's a small place and gets very busy!

Damsons is a real find! Been for breakfast and lunch and it has consistently been a 10/10 experience. Food is fabulous, great quality, presentation and absolutely delicious.

The premises are spotlessly clean and the welcome is always warm and friendly. The food is freshly cooked, beautifully presented and delicious. Excellent coffee. Wide choice of drinks.

As always a fantastic breakfast with super friendly staff. Just one tiny thing, when I booked it asked if we were celebrating anything and I said GCSE results day, I’m not dilute what I expected, maybe a little chocolate or acknowledgment. Otherwise I’m not sure why it was asked in the booking form. But of course this won’t be stopping me returning, I love your restaurant and always recommend

Food was nice, service with a smile. Staff very helpful but I felt that the lunches were slightly over-priced compared to other places I visit.

We loved our recent visit to Damsons for a breakfast treat. The place is very clean, the staff are friendly and welcoming and the food and coffee was delicious. It was such a treat! It has such a relaxed and friendly ambience that you come away with a warm, relaxed, well fed glow! We thoroughly enjoyed our visit.
