About The Electric Cafe

The Electric Cafe is a genuinely special find — a working café that dates back to the 1900s, where the original fittings and atmosphere transport you straight into the past the moment you walk through the door. The menu leans into proper British café classics: full English breakfasts, homemade chips, and eggs done well, all served by famously welcoming staff who clearly take pride in the place. Highchairs are available for little ones, and the café is easy to get into with a buggy, though it's a compact, characterful space rather than a sprawling family restaurant.
