Lovely, very friendly young lady quickly brought us our drinks. Food came promptly even on a busy night. Huge portions. Solid, down home cooking. We both had salad, meatloaf, peas, potato and a little dessert. We'll be back.

I absolutely love this place! The staff were super-friendly, the food was DELICIOUS and the sun was shining (they didn't control that, but it was a nice bonus for them and their lovely little courtyard)! And all for a very affordable price :)
I sat in the glorious sunshine and basically inhaled a plate of avo, scrambled eggs, feta, softened onions and crispy fired potatoes. With balsamic, because that's how I roll - this plate was worthy of better than mere ketchup!
I also indulged in a small but decadent latte, and asked for 'a big water' - so they bought me a nice little jug of tap (which is great, I was nervous they might try the hard sell on bottled - I don't pay for water!).
I'd had a chance to eye up the cake counter as I entered, and I could not stop myself from ordering a slice of the lemon meringue pie - it was my favourite dessert as a child and it's been so long since I had some! I was served a HUGE portion, and though it was tasty it just wasn't quite everything I hoped it would be... Probably more my skewed memory than any fault of Ally's Kitchen! The meringue was light as air (but I like mine with more substance), with a lovely browned crisp outer edging. The lemon curd was sweet but still refreshingly tangy, and unfortunately the base was ever so slightly soggy as the lemon filling was quite juicy! I would also say the portion size was a bit unecessary, but who am I to complain about that? I would rather a smaller slice and a smaller price though (£5??)
Anyway, overall my experience was delightful - I am hoping to move to the area soon, and will definitely pay another visit or two to this cute, friendly little cafe!
My bill totalled £16, including my option to add just over 10% tip. Not bad at all!

Excellent food. Really stellar! Best food in this area for sure. Don't miss it. The owner is a highly trained chef and she does a great job with all of the items on the menu, as well as the deserts. The UK is often known for bland and uninteresting food, but this place is totally different. The food is great!

Great service, great food! Loved their avocado toast. Ate here with my family of five and everyone was happy with the food and the price was good. Our server was attentive and helpful.
