We visited Bel's Cafe on our return home to Bristol from Salisbury. I checked Google for the best rated cafe en route and came across this one. There is clearly a good reason for the 5 star reviews as we experienced for ourselves. From the outside it looks like Ike a porta cabin but inside is clean and tidy seating, excellent food and excellent customer service. It's one of the best all day breakfasts we've had and a very reasonable price.

Highly recommend - exactly what I hoped for Independently run, friendly staff, respectful atmosphere, affordable and good sized portions of honest cafe food. When I visited on a Wednesday at 10am, it was empty but soon got busy, it's obviously popular for a reason. A big thank you to Bel for a great English breakfast

Bloody beautiful English breakfast. Not a fan of tomatos or bacon myself but my partner had some tomato and said it was delicious. Very good prices as well so much cheaper and better than most bigger restaurants you'll find these days and friendly service too. Highly recommend

Stopped here this morning, a lovely lady/host, a lovely little roadside Caf adorned with all kinds of motoring nostalgia..Breakfast was just top notch....beautiful Bacon, the food and cleanliness could not be faulted... ....I'd just prefer a nicer/better brand coffee. But yes....a perfect Truck stop with a loo facility.

I had the medium breakfast, really big, plenty and very nice and well cooked. I would have taken a picture of it but I I'm afraid it didn't last long enough.
