Empire Cafe - West Berkshire

I have always adored this place. I make sure to visit every time I'm in Newbury, and it seems like it hasn't changed at all in 40 years. The food is delicious, the service is great, and the prices are very affordable.

Just nowhere else like it. A wonderful variety of bread, cakes and savouries as well as a comprehensive menu of British breakfasts, lunches and afternoon teas, all baked and cooked fresh on the premises. Great service and a lovely traditional setting. Celebration cakes baked and decorated to order are second to none and the traditional lardy cakes are another speciality of the bakery. Nothing is ever too much trouble for Wendy and her team. An integral part of Newbury and a tremendous asset to the town.

Brilliant breakfast, could not fault the friendly customer service and couldn't resist taking a loaf of lardy bread home afterwards

A delicious traditional caffe. very cost-effective and a beautiful atmosphere

The hot cakes and fish and chips were both very delicious.
