Kitchen Table is a very down to earth, family-oriented yet stylish café. We wandered in for lunch and it was mostly hits with a few misses, so I would say this visit was more 3.5 but I am pretty sure we came on a bad day. The menu has a good variety of breakfast and lunch fare. We had the(massive) club sandwich and the baked eggs, which didn’t blow us out of the water but were still very enjoyable. Service was friendly but our food took quite a long time to come out, although I was helpfully advised that the baked eggs would take longer than other dishes, so perhaps that was why. Still, the wait was noticeably long but we weren’t in a hurry. The only thing that loses points with me is the kitchen being semi-open. For a good portion of our meal, the room smelled like a deep fryer. In spite of all the negative aspects of this review, I quite liked Kitchen Table. I’ll definitely be returning as it’s a cut above the rest in the area.

I love this place! With the hum of the coffee machine working in what seems overdrive it lulls me into a feeling of comfort. The owner is always in house working that coffee machine and just keeping a friendly eye on all that is going on. This place looks and feels rustic yet has some quirky and ever changing displays. There is always lots to look at, like the fresh herb display on the counter bench ready to be used. The food is tasty with lots to choose from. I love the baked eggs with chorizo sausage in a rich tomato salsa served with crusty bread. Another favourite is the warm Camembert share plate with olives, peppers and crusty bread. The menu is always evolving with weekend specials a pleasant surprise. During the weekends it gets very busy and service may be a little slow. The staff will let you know if there is a bit of a wait but the wait is always worth it.
