Reviews Summary
Crossbow Cafe & Grill is celebrated for its generous portions and excellent value, with a menu that caters to a wide range of tastes. Reviewers consistently praise the friendly service and welcoming atmosphere, often highlighting the delicious food, particularly the burgers and Sunday roast.

"I always research restaurants before we visit an area and Crossbow had the best pricing and something for everyone. I had the Bacon and Brie Toasty and it was the best I've ever had. Very generous size. It came with a lovely salad and a little serving of some amazing (very fresh) coleslaw. I was glad our daughter doesn't like slaw, because she had a bigger portion that I ate. I kid you not, I'd buy a vat of it if I could!
Our daughter did enjoy her chicken goujons and chips. My husband had the very healthy in size breakfast bap (he said next time he'll order the eggs cooked through as runny eggs made the roll fall apart), but he ate it with a knife and fork and said it was delicious.
We'll definitely be back. We live about 40 mins away and will make this a lunch destination soon."

"Very friendly, family run cafe, which is frequented by my many of the locals.
Indoor & outdoor seating. Specials board. Sandwiches are made to order & you can choose from white or wholemeal bread. Pasties are popular as they sold out the day that we were there. Cream teas are also popular.
Toilets are inside cafe & are very clean."

"beautiful cosy restaurant with very welcoming and helpful staff. They were able to accommodate 12 of us no problem (1 table for the adults, 1 table for the teens). We ordered all different dishes & drinks from cream tea to burger and chips to full English. All were great portions, presented well and were delicious. Haven't got a bad word to say"
