The Mess Hall

Lovely little cafe, we're accommodating to my partners gluten intolerance. Breakfast was such a good portion size, would definitely recommend!

Great place to stop. No parking outside but there is a carpark about 30 seconds walk away. Food was fresh. Coffee was perfect. This is a safe bet for good coffee.

Wow, what a lovely little cafe! It was welcoming and clearly a vibrant place to be. The food was just perfect. I had the avocado toast and as an avocado lover- I couldn't have been more thrilled! Loads of sliced avocado and even more mashed avocado. I was disappointed to see so much pepper, because I am not a fan- but thought id give it a go as id not had pickled pepper before- WOW!! It was delicious.

The Mess Hall will always hold a special place in my heart- we came here with a bunch of our guests the morning after we got married. We had already visited previously and loved the food and the friendly atmosphere, so we asked if we could prebook tables for a post-wedding breakfast. Rich was kind enough to reserve the entire restaurant for us for the first hour of opening. All our guests were really happy with their food and we had a great time. The perfect opportunity for last minute catch ups and goodbyes before people got the train home. We had done preorders and the food came out in a very timely fashion and to its usual high standards. I was bleary-eyed and sleep-deprived, but the staff took great care of me and our guests. We will always love The Mess Hall, and although we're now moving upcountry, we will be sure to pop in when we're down visiting family, plus for every anniversary breakfast forever more! Thank you so much Rich, Lily and the rest of your incredible team <3

Both dishes that we had were well made, perfect poached egg, nice quality sausage and bacon, cappuccino made on point, nice atmosphere, clean space, music wasn’t too loud, customer service professional and friendly. Will definitely be back.

Lovely cafe. Great food. Fast service even when busy. Friendly staff.

A warm welcome from the staff as we walked in. We were able to sit where we liked. Waitress promptly came over with menus and took our order, very contemporary decorated, outdoor garden seating available in warmer months. Food was amazing, Brie, cranberry and pepper in a burger bun and salad, plate of french fries, cup of coffee. Highly recommended.

IT GETS BETTER EVERY TIME I VISIT!!! Amazing place !!! Normally busy - because it is the best in the area. Breakfast sandwich is so tasty! Lots of veg options too for my bestie. Dog friendly and generally top joint. It’s just good. Best boozy coffees mmmm Good is next level!!!!
