Possibly the best full English I've ever had. Good quality products, cooked perfectly, presented well. I was so pleasantly surprised given it's a cafe attached to a garden centre. Usually on a cooked breakfast at least one of the items is overcooked etc but this had everything done spot on. I would actually commute the ~25 mins on train from Birmingham to have this again. Please maintain this quality. 17/11/2024 Edit: also I really liked that the waitress noticed my lack of cutlery and got them for me even though I could have gotten up myself. Little things like this are the finishing touches

We have been regulars at the Shakespeare cafe since you opened. The customer service by your staff is excellent they are always bright and friendly. All meals we have ordered have been great. A special nod to Amy and Georgia for always being so friendly

Shakespeare’s, Earlswood - There a new café inside @earlswoodglc and we just had to try it out. They are called @shakespearescafe and have a wide fantastic menu. They have amazing large full English, vegetarian full breakfasts and an array of baos and on toast items. - You can eat in and takeaway, whichever suits you. We enjoyed a large full English and a vegetarian full breakfast along with some coffees. With the full English breakfasts you get toast and coffee includes io the price. You can also choose from tinned or fresh tomatoes and white and granny toast. The sausages are Lashfords which if you’re in the know they are the best and everyone should use them - The environment is clean and tidy and plenty of seating, when warm you can also sit outside too. We arrived at 9:50 and there was only two other tables occupied then around 10:30 the café started to fill up with a few tables spare. 10am definitely feels like to sweet spot for ordering and getting a seat - The full English with toast and coffee costs around £11.95 and vegetarian around £7.95. The food and very filling and tastes great, the coffees are @lavazzauk so taste quality too.
