Reviews Overview
Most Liked
Customers rave about the fantastic breakfast offerings, particularly their 'Full English Breakfast'. The generous portion sizes ensure no one leaves hungry, earning points for value for money. Many appreciate the quality of ingredients in the hot sandwiches, especially the bacon rolls, which are a crowd favorite. The friendly staff add to the overall experience, creating a lively environment that patrons enjoy. The unique setting of dining in a double-decker bus makes it a memorable spot for both family outings and solo meals. The coffee also receives high praise, with many citing it as the best in the area. The overall casual vibe encourages repeat visits and builds a sense of community among diners.
Most Disliked
Some visitors mention the occasional wait during peak hours, which might be a downside for those in a hurry. The proximity to the road can also be a concern for families with young children, requiring extra vigilance. While the portion sizes are praised by many, a few diners feel they are larger than necessary, which may not suit all appetites. A handful of guests express a desire for an expanded dessert menu, as it currently focuses on the breakfast and lunch offerings. Additionally, those looking for a quiet or upscale dining experience may find the casual atmosphere a bit too lively for their preferences.

Double Decker Bus Diner in the lay-by off the A38. Very friendly staff and the breakfast was one of the best cafe 'Full English' that I have had. Glad I went for the medium size as the large would be too much. Even a sausage for my dog. Highly recommend for a hearty breakfast.
