Didn't realise for ages this is café where they go at the end of The Apprentice. So unpretentious. Lovely owner & staff. Had s great hour or so chatting with them.

As a fan of the UK TV show the Apprentice I have always wondered if the Bridge Cafe was even real or just for TV.To my pleasure I can tell you that it really does exist! My even bigger pleasure is that it’s exactly the same as TV and the food is amazing. The owners have had it for more than 50 years and they still love what they do. It really shows because the food was a proper English breakfast and it was served piping hot with a nice cup of tea.It’s exactly as it says on the tin with good food and good service.What’s not to love?It was so good I even bought a mug from them as a wonderful memory.Even if you have not seen the TV show you need to go………Highly recommend to you all

If you imagine a traditional greasy spoon cafe this is what you would get.However the food is not greasy it's perfectly cooked, the menu is simple with all your cafe favourites traditional breakfasts, sausage, egg & chips etcThe owners are wonderful very friendlyYes it's the cafe from the apprentice but it's so much more then that one of the best cafes I've been to in a while perfect in every way if your looking for a artisan posh style cafe go somewhere else if your looking for somewhere with good food, drinks and service clean and tidy with high standards then the bridge cafe is a must.

Great food and atmosphere. However my lunch was cut short by 4 business people in suits that came in and started arguing about whose fault it was they didn’t sell enough cat towers.

UPDATE- I thrilled the apprentices showed back up. I was worried they had kicked the Bridge cafe to the curb. ORIGINAL REVIEW- Seems like a good place for losing teams to air their differences. Watch out though, the slow witted will find themselves ganged up on and the blame pinned on them.

Bridge Cafe is not just a cafe, it is a place where you want to come back again and again. It is ideal for meeting friends, having a romantic date or just to enjoy a cup of fragrant coffee alone, watching the life of the city. I recommend it to anyone who appreciates high-quality service, delicious food and a cozy atmosphere.
