Old Kiln Cafe - Waverley

The Old Kiln Cafe is located within the Rural Life Centre and is within the reception shop building. There is a large well organised outdoor area with burger and tea bar facility used for events of which the Rural Life Centre has many. The bacon butty, as the title states, is brilliant. Plenty of good smoked back bacon. Like everything about the cafe; generous, practical and well presented. The result is a busy spot with good sized family tables making for a convivial atmosphere. In the Winter months the cafe is only open on Wednesday and Sundays. Check the opening times on the Rural Life website. A hearty menu, good coffee and cake provide all that could be required. Especially on a Winters day. Previous visits, on busy days, I’ve seen long queues, hence the additional outside facilities to ease the pressure. Worth the wait. Definitely a five from me. The bacon butty wins every time!

Been coming here for about 15 years and hasn't lost it specialness. Ate here and had a huge baguette delicious

We went in the summer and had an amazing burger and chips from the outdoor grill. For the same price £8), today we had ham, egg and chips which consisted of 1 mediocre slice of packaged ham, 1 egg, sad looking salad leaves. Chips were nice though. Very underwhelmed for the money! Always friendly staff though.

Hearty basic food served in a 'shed ' at The Rural Life Centre. Pleasant enough port in a storm but don 't expect fine dining. It is what it is unpretentious and acceptable.

Went for a sandwich and tea while visiting the Rural Life Centre. My Stilton sandwich was excellent and freshly made with pickle and a small salad plus a very nice mug of tea for £6. Lots of choice of food and drinks and all reasonably priced. Very good value and recommended.
