Really nice grilled breakfast (9) with friend along with flat white (3). Was so busy, so there was a little wait (we were warned so no issues) Very tasty and a little different from the usual "English breakfast" the sausage was really good! Nice atmosphere (we sat in the sun). Quite small on the inside but a number of tables outside. Dog friendly and cycle friendly (has cycle pump and equipment for a quick repair) Great little stop off for those on a walk or cycle.

Excellent little cafe, seating inside & out, dog friendly, & plenty of parking round the back of the building. Really enjoyed the food we had, & service was brilliant. Will definitely be back!

This restaurant is lovely, we have often been to the one in town and loved it. This one is just as lovely, great atmosphere, wonderful service and really great food. Excellent veggie and vegan options.

We were coming home from Newark and looking for somewhere for lunch and Googled this Gannets Cafe. We couldn’t fault a thing, the food was fantastic and the service was the best we’ve probably had anywhere. We turned up without booking right at lunch time with a 3 year old and a baby and the staff couldn’t have been more accommodating and friendly - our 3 year old keeps saying how much he enjoyed it! He can be a picky eater as well and they happily made him something that wasn’t on the menu. The other customers were also so lovely, speaking to our children and us and helping to make room for us all. I honestly wish we lived closer, we’d be visiting all the time!

A fantastic breakfast with quality produce at a great price. Most hotel chains could learn a lot about quality and value for money from this local independent.

Fairly new cafe situated on the edge of town. Large gravel car park for vehicles but the cafe seems aimed at the cycling community. Plenty of bike storage, a large tool station, work stand and track pump which we put to use,there is even a water dispenser for bottles in the work area. Fixed tables and benches together with loose tables and chairs are outside together with a large seating area inside. We appear to have arrived at the tail end of a rush,even so we didn't wait long. Delicious food was delivered quickly by very polite staff, we had vegetarian and gluten free members and these were catered for. Everything is on one level so access is easy for everyone.

Great alternative to the generally awful comfort stops along the A1. We always stop at Gannets for lunch between Scotland and Kent travelling through to Italy. Lovely staff, clean, good food, fair pricing, outside seating and, unlike service stations, a car park with space to ensure your car doesn't get dinged by some inconsiderate person opening their car doors. Just 5mins off the A1, Gannets is a place from which you leave refreshed rather than stressed. To the team.....thank you for being consistently good!

A small cafe that really should be much larger. Lovely friendly staff, Yes "Genuine dog friendly" too. Food is well priced and nicely cooked. It all arrives hot and well presented.... ask for a pot of Mushrooms with a main meal... beautiful.
