The Best Cafes in Whitchurch, Hampshire, United Kingdom (2025)

This is a jewel of a live music venue, The staff are amazing and very helpful, great service and the management are cool. I went on a Friday night to see Bad Monkey and the Electric warriors, Guns For Girls and Naked Sunday. The gig was awesome and the sound and lighting was near perfect and the show were brilliant. Everywhere you look in the building is full of retro art and memorabilia. It's well worth a visit, great Ales , beers wine and spirits available and reasonably priced. Can't wait to return for another headline night

I love this place, every Friday and Saturday night live music. Ok not to everybody's taste but it can suprise you. I've had some fantastic nights here and sometimes I've just turned around and gone somewhere else. Don't be scared give it a try more than once. The staff are great the landlord interesting love them all. Free entry/donations excepted. 👍

Quirky bar loved it. So many live bands to see. Well worth a visit if you're into live music.

One of the best live venues I've played at , great atmosphere , good sound system. Well worth a visit .

Great little butty shop, great staff/owner with great sense of humour, lovely food well recommend to anyone.

Love it here! Small local business - lovely ladies who run it, super friendly!! Great food and drinks! Hands down best sausage and egg butty ever! 😂 Thanks ladies!

Lovely friendly place! Popped in for some breakfast with my sister and 2 year old. Had a high chair available for my son which is super handy as he's a wiggler! I had the breakfast baguette which was amazing and well worth the price! Great value for money and food is delicious!

Great food very reasonably priced!

Great place in the centre of Whitchurch, great value food, fast friendly service, pleasant atmosphere. Lovely breakfast (£3:99 before 11am !) Revisit in March 24. Still wonderful, upped all scores to 5* exceptional.

What a gem of a place . Visited on spec and tried nearly all the tapa dishes . These were presented in a refreshing way, rich in flavour . Well priced too . Lovely staff too made for a great lunchtime .

This cafe is amazing. The staff are friendly, courteous, funny, chatty and very smiley. It's super dog friendly. The food is very good value for money, beautifully presented and delicious. I would have taken some pictures but I scoffed it before I even thought about it - it was that good! 😂 The tapas is under £5 a dish and they're big enough to be a lunch on their own. It's really clean with a lovely decor. We were just passing through the town but if I lived here I'd definitely be a regular ❤️ Thank you so much, especially for the recommendation of the banana toffee crepes...just the best 😘

We only had a toasted teacake and a coffee. The teacake was as expected. I was delighted to find a coffee shop offering Spanish coffee, but this wasn't remotely like any coffee we've ever drunk in Spain. This doesn't mean there's anything wrong with it - we just didn't like the taste and having drunk coffee in many parts of Spain we couldn't see the similarly.

Dropped in to kill time before watching my son play Rugby, very glad I did. I ordered the Bacon, Onion smash Burger with Onion rings. Absolutely delicious, and great value for money too.. Great food, very friendly atmosphere and attentive service what's not to like. Highly recommend a visit if you're in the Whitchurch area

Always well presented food with great atmosphere and excellent service

We heard a new cafe had opened and decided to meet friends for breakfast. Our food was delicious and the cafe was comfortable and welcoming. We dined in but take aways we’re also available. Would definitely recommend. Just a note the breakfast comes with toast not shown in the photos.

Lovely cosy traditional coffee shop. Staff were super friendly and loved the fire.

I must start by saying I am a Google guru, I travel the country with work as a tradesman and the first thing I do when I arrive is check Google for a good breakfast! Normally, I look for somewhere that could accommodate such site personnel, you know, the ones in the dirty work gear, effing an geffing about the "birds" they dabbled with the weekend. But seeing as I was on my own, and semi respectable on the builders scale, I decided to waltz in an give Jones a try. Very glad I did! Not one to lie, upon entering the establishment and picking up a menu, I was sharp to notice there was no sausage included on the traditional breakfast which immediately had me perplexed! But I was in now, and had no bottle to turn away, so I ordered it anyway with the friendly looking and talking lady at the counter. I had a little stroll around the new found premises to find a seat, and, wearing my site attire, I must admit initially I felt I was marginally out of place, but none the less I chose a throne, and awaited my feast whilst gazing upon the works group WhatsApp, informing the members of my current location. Not before long my manly café latte arrived with a most pleasant smile, shortly followed by the long awaited, 'friday breakfast with no sausage'! A man, clearly with many words to say, cannot find words to describe the sheer perfection of my satisfaction. In 14 years of the 'friday breakfast', never has one matched this of Jones. My only concern, which would never deduct a star of rating, is what the hell I will do when 10 dirty muddy foul mouthed site operatives land on site 😂 10/10

Popped in today to have some lunch with partner and baby, well designed with enough room for pram as well, service was top notch food priced about expected, only real complaint would be to many herbs on panini, a little would be fine but the amount on would've completely overpowered a great panini, so I wiped most off and that worked fine but that is me being picky as everything else was great

First time visit to Lockside Cafe. Staff are lovely. Lovely building in a picturesque setting next to the Shropshire Union Canal and staircase locks. Our food was very tasty. Nice selection of meals/snacks available at reasonable prices. Seating outside which is ideal for watching the barges come and go. Also a garden and children’s play area at the rear. We walked along the canal path under the bridge and met a couple of interesting people magnet fishing in the canal. A lovely place to relax and enjoy the scenery.

Stopped off on the way up the locks and had a coffee and a slice of lemon meringue. Friendly staff and a really pleasent outside seating area. The lemon meringue was delicious. Great place to sit and watch the Narrowboats go by.

We only stopped for a tea and coffee. We seen the gorgeous cakes in the chiller, well what can I say. My husband had apple pie and I had the blacurrant and prosecco cheesecake. They were both really good. We had a little walk up and down the Loch. Lovely afternoon out.

A fabulous little cafe right next to the locks at Grindley Brook in Whitchurch, Shropshire. Home cooked snacks and cakes. The staff are so welcoming and it's dog friendly too. Our regular go to local business for great coffee and a dog walk along the canal

really pretty cafe, the service was good and everyone was polite and friendly enough, the bakery items were so good and literally melted in your mouth, the drinks were also good and the whole atmosphere and presentation of food was adorable

Coffee is average but the atmosphere is really nice .I like the interior.

Nice coffee, service was okay. Loads of dogs which is great, but a few songs jumping up on seats which isn’t very hygienic. Food is quite expensive.

My favourite local coffee shop. Great food. Savoury croissants to die for. Excellent coffee. Great service in a very busy business. My dog loves it too. Very dog friendly. The clue is in the name. It

Lovely Coffee Shop one of the guys in our cycle club guided us to, after seeing good things about, so we gave it a go........it's in a very remote location but has lovely decor and a very bijoux feel about it. Staff were very upbeat and were serving quickly and efficiently. There is a large selection of coffee, cake and hot food on offer with the coffee beans baked on site called Moon Coffee which is also sold here. The "yard" area is very spacious with lovely seating around as well as outdoor heaters for the colder mornings or evenings. They are doggie friendly as saw a few on our visit and welcomed cyclists to with two very large bike racks to use.........will definitely visit again if we are out this way again!!

Wonderful! We went to Friday night's music evening and everything about the venue was just perfect - the music; the street food courtesy of Earth to Oven; indoor and outdoor seating which interconnects beautifully in one space, and an overall 'holiday' vibe in tastefully designed surroundings. We will definitely be back!

We booked the Yard for a private party on Saturday evening. The location is fantastic, the staff were efficient, attentive, and friendly, and we had a great evening. Thoroughly recommend it!

The food Is brilliant,a dull but great menu,highly recommend it

Dont expect posh .... expect a warm welcome... fantastic english breakfast, loads of locals in out, bit like home from home!!!...and home made food. Nice. A little gem 😄

Fionas is a real gem of a place for a quick cup of coffee, a tasty meal and to meet up with friends

The food is always hot and tasty. The Stafford is very friendly

Great place, very nice breakfast and well presented. There was a very loud bunch of people in the main cafe area, which would have really put me off but fortunately the weather was amazing and we sat outside where it was peaceful.

Food was lovely and obviously locally sourced by the quality. Lovely friendly staff. There is a hidden gem in the back garden which gives a relaxing atmosphere when planning your day ahead. Highly recommended !

Incredibly rare find. Cozy cafe, serving perfectly brewed coffee, homemade well-thought out foods. We enjoyed the delicious new York deli and a cappuccino, which had plenty of filling in fresh bread. Staff are polite and the prices are more than fair. It also had a shop attached downstairs, which sells a mixture of local produce and home baked confectionery.

We were on holiday visiting the Forest of Dean and gotten off the beaten track when we came across this little gem. From the front we thought it was just a shop with some outdoor seating, but it had a lovely seating area upstairs. The service was excellent and the food was outstanding, both in presentation and taste. You’d expect to be paying far more for the quality of food served here. It’s quite small, so there were many people trying to be seated, we offered our table to someone who had turned up as we were not long from finishing our food. The shop downstairs was well stocked, with some items on the pricier side, but all the staff were friendly and there was a great choice of items. I’d certainly return and eat here again if I was local!
