'Best value breakfast in Stratford upon Avon' at only £5.00 including bottomless tea or coffee

User

really loved our GF afternoon tea yesterday; excellent price too! Husband says the disabled loo is one of the best he has been in. Wanted to get back in for breakfast but didn't like the look of the weather...

User

You must visit Bensons if you're in Stratford upon Avon! The food is fantastic (I had the sticky chicken salad which is to die for!! 😋), the atmosphere is great and the staff are super friendly 😀

User

Without a doubt the five pound breakfast is unbeatable for quality and value. A great place run by people who really have it right.

User

We visited here today for the first time. We were out with our newborn twins and in the past couple of weeks we have really struggled getting in and out places with our big double pushchair and were worried about where to get a coffee that would accommodate us. The staff at Benson's were great - moving tables to make sure we had plenty of space, bringing us hot and cold water for bottles etc and generally being very welcoming! We will definitely be back next time we visit Stratford!

User

Very friendly staff, lovely warm fire as it was snowing when we were there. We had a lovely champagne afternoon tea. Highly recommended.Thank You to all the staff, they even prepared gluten free sandwiches for my wife.

User

Short Break, three days in Stratford.



Excellent Full English Breakfast!! Kept us going all day. Called in twice. Staff very friendly, cafe spotlessly clean.



Also called in for afternoon tea, well worth having!



Hope to call in again next time we are down your way.

User

Ridiculously good value for money and really good service, will definitely be back

User

Really welcoming including our dog. Friendly staff and lovely food. Worth a visit

User

Nice selection of teas, and GLUTEN FREE SCONES!!!!!!! :-D Actually, there's a whole gluten free menu (just ask for it) and they understand the hazards of gluten cross-contamination too, which is essential. I've been a few times and today we drove from Birmingham specially for a gluten free cream tea. Delicious, with lots of cream and jam! Nice friendly staff, too. Very happy—highly recommended :-D

User

Lovely food. Ordered a Gluten Free option which was lovely. Only thing was the waitress got the Gluten Free option and the normal option wrong way around. Perhaps little more training to make staff more aware of what is on plates to avoid any illness. But other than that great place.

User

I would definitely recommend this place for food and their welcome...although they were very busy they still had time to have a quick chat. Third time we've been from Aintree. See you next year!

User

Have been going to Benson's for many years and the standard of food and service has always been excellent. The £5 breakfast is a lovely way to start the day and the amount you get is perfect. The quality of the ingredients is second to none. A lovely experience every time and a place I will keep going back to

User

An unexpected pleasant experience in this tea room in Stratford upon Avon. We walked in initially to get out of the rain, but also to gorge on afternoon tea. What a lovely surprise. Beautiful, scones warm and freshly made, the teas were not t bags and you got your own personal little sieve and quaint teapot. Definitely would recommend and inexpensive, for us, at least. We wobbled out. Well done, Bensons!
