SIZZLE - (Near , london)

kirstie leese One of new favourite cafes. Found this place recently, it was amazing. The food was amazing, you get lots for your money. The music was great and the coffee was delicious. Chef was friendly and even served us with a big friendly smile and the surrounding area breathtaking. Will definitely be returning and telling everyone close to me how lovely it was ❤️

Mark Kilcran They are worth every bit of hype from the Fisher family. Really enjoyed it. Bosh!

Shaayna Browne Had a great experience today at the Salix cafe being served by Mark. Very chatty and polite , warmed up my meal I bought from home (I have dietary needs) as well as provided me extra sauce and seasonings for the food we ordered from him. Very relaxing environment in the lovely weather and beachfront view , really made me smile with his level of service and kindness. Also the cafe is very clean and well put together , modern decor , great seating arrangement, efficient queing/ordering system didn’t have to wait long for the meal at all. Overall 10s all round.

P We love this place - it has such personality. The bar staff are epic and the food delicious. Dirty fries are so tasty. Dont expect perfection but that is part of what gives it character. Well recommended.

Dave Raval First time here. Lovely venue, great service from both people we met. Sunday roasts were top notch, highly recommended. Good price too. Only quibble is that the vegan Wellington offering was significantly smaller than the chicken (see photos). I guess that probably reflects food prices. But wouldve preferred to pay a £ or two more and been full up! Still, otherwise great, so five stars.

j Reviewing the cafe: loved it. We were actually looking at the menu in the window of a different cafe, when we fell into conversation with a woman, and she recommended Crates to us. So thank you, whoever you were. It’s a quaint and cosy little establishment. They do the sort of things that you might expect a corner cafe to do; but they also sprinkle in some interesting little treats. They also strongly favour local produce. I had a jacket potato with locally sourced crab and prawns - delicious and not something that you often see. Good coffee, good service, good value. Thinking through what I would normally include in a review of a cafe: there are a lot of vegetarian options on the menu; there isn’t really a children’s menu (but there is a doggy menu); and there are steps into the cafe (but level access to the outdoor tables).
