Just had a really nice bacon and egg barm and a cup of tea. Decor is a little dated, but the food was really tasty. Can't fault it really.

Russell's Cafe received mixed reviews from customers. While some found the food disappointing, cold, and of poor quality, others appreciated the prompt service, variety of menu options, and friendly staff. The cafe itself was described as dated but clean, with excellent value for money. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with a lovely downstairs seating area. Overall, Russell's seems to have the potential to satisfy different tastes and preferences, making it a place worth visiting for breakfast, brunch, or lunch.

This review just scraped an “average” rating as the food was edible and piping hot. Dark and dingy and looks like it was last tarted up sometime in the 1950s. M...
