Merlin Cafeteria is a hidden gem that food lovers simply can't miss. This charming café offers an impressive selection of home-cooked meals, including favorites like Steak and Guinness Pie, alongside delightful breakfast options such as Eggs Benedict. The coffee and tea served here are exceptional, making it the perfect spot for a relaxing break. Guests rave about the attentive staff who go above and beyond to ensure a memorable dining experience—like when the chef personally checks on your meal!
I had a wonderful meal there this morning. It was part of the breakfast menu but it was possibly the best Eggs Benedict that I have had. They take either cash or card of which I am a great fan. The coffee was excellent, too

Nice view of the airport from here. They do serve some nice cakes. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating and the staff really helpful

Had a ploughman's the other day, was not up their usual standard. Thick slice of bread, french bread or roll would have been better. Celery old and tough, ham fatty ....not very nice at all One of my party ordered two bacon sandwiches, only one arrived without any of the salad or garnish that was on the other one. Very disappointed as we eat their regularly and meet up their as a large family.

A very nice cafe to go and have lunch. We ordered scampi and chips with salad, whilst we were eating them the Chef came out with some more scampi as she felt that we had not been given enough when the meal left the kitchen! Now that is brilliant service! Very friendly staff, Well done to all, excellent job!

Popped in for coffee also has poached eggs on toast. Perfectly prepared. Toast hot and crispy, eggs beautifully cooked. Kind and obliging staff. Thank you for a great experience. We will be back very soon.
LYNN S — Google review
This is my favourite place for food and drink. It's a café but the quality is second to none. Tea and coffee great. Food is home cooked quality, Steak and Guinness Pie etc... (need I say anymore?). Staff are exceptionally helpful and outside is a large CLEAN sitting area. Just don't tell everyone about it!!

Sorry to say this is the worst breakfast i have ever had, i took my daughter out for father daughter breakfast and ordered 2 full breakfasts and 2 latte which was £21 Coffee come out first with biscuit, very nice. Full breakfasts came out missing bacon sausage and beans just an empty pot. Complained and rather than taking the breakfasts away the server turned up with a with a pot of beans no serving spoon and sausages and bacon separate. Egg was solid and rubbery which she also replaced, and the replacement was flat which i would suggest was old. Sausage was nice, bacon was very salty and i think it had been microwaved at it was dark and hard but not crispy edges. Tomato was luke warm and not cooked, bread was stale either old or had 2 hits on the toaster. Mushroom had been cooked in water and was leathery. Beans were mostly liquid and juice was not thick so probably cheaper quality brand. New potato chips were ok, just deep fried sliced but tasted ok. Free replacement coffee came out and it was only 2/3 of original. Honestly i will never step foot in this place again. Not a good experience. Id give zero but the lady did try to replace.

Restaurant/Cafe Really awful meal. My wife had sausages were really burnt see pics attached. She could taste the burnt offerings in her mouth. Mash really yellow and didn't taste very nice. Won't be going back again or recommend to anyone. Felt really disappointed. Also she had a milkshake which was too sweet and couldn't hold the glass as it was dripping with sticky syrup all down the sides.

It was a rainy day so wife and I decided on a cup of tea. Then the menu got the better of us, we had a club sandwich and triple cheese toasty. Both came with complementary salad and crisps. Always good when you get the side dish included. Both were perfectly cooked and tasty, wechad half of each others dishes. Really nice food and spot on tea and mocha to drink. Very good value at around nine pound a dish. We really recommend coming here for a bite to eat. We def come back again. Also the staff were lovely and friendly and let us know the specials.
