The food is always amazing and serviced quickly but you should give people the menus as soon as they arrive. Always seek to be waiting for menus and it’s just too nosey it’s a fight for who can shout the loudest at times. Small room with high ceilings if you could sound proof it better that would be great! Service was excellent for food and drinks. Lovely couple of gentleman who were very engaging

Really enjoyed our breakfast. Could not fault the experience, food is really good quality and piping hot. Look forward to revisiting soon. We took some cake home which was very nice.10/10. Jen & Brian.

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. Service is amazing, so friendly and welcoming. Great value and an all round lovely experience which is how it should be but in reality is very hard to find.
