Great place to stop for holiday makers and say strippers alike. Good selection of food and always fresh and well presented. Outdoor seating too, dog friendly. 5 star but as a constructive criticism would prefer a better locally sourced meaty sausages

Love Watsons, we've been coming here for years, recently to menu reduced on the Veg Out but it's still a decent plate (beans and sosidges would be great again if you can manage it). Other plates included in our party were toasties, ham, egg & chips etc. Ham off the bone (mum was pleased), dog friendly, seating in and out. We'll continue to visit.

Stayed locally on a long weekend awayand visited Watsons Cafe twice for a takeaway brunch. Both times my partners sausage and bacon sandwich was exceptional, to be able to repeat the same quality should not be sniffed at!! I had a tuna sandwich and a ham and cheese toastie, both were outstanding! Staff were lovely, the chef was happy to help with looking at allergens when I didn’t have my tablets to help my lactose intolerance the first time. Wish we could have sat in as it looked really cosy, but our dog isn’t very social unfortunately! Would definitely visit again if we’re ever in the area

Friendly and helpful cafe and very dog friendly. Good choice on menu and had a doggy menu as well if you want to treat your dogs. Was not quite but not overly busy, it was mid morning when I went in. Looks like it does get busy. Will be going back. I had the small breakfast and added a sausage and swapped beans for tomato, very filling.
