The Cafe

Proper old school cafe, done right

Cowplain Cafe & Restaurant sits on London Road with its big yellow sign and a few tables out front on the pavement. Inside it is bright and clean, with sunny yellow walls, tables for two and for a crowd, and the sort of welcome that turns first timers into regulars.

It is a breakfast and lunch place: open early, busy with people chatting over a plate and a mug, and shut by mid afternoon. Generous portions, home cooked food and friendly service, at prices people write reviews about. Sit in, or grab it to take away.
