“ Incredibly quaint and beautiful little cafe which caters for all!! Cannot fault the menu or the service what so ever... I chose brie, bacon and cranberry panini, which was the best I had ever had ( piping hot and delicious) Infant friendly, the staff could not do enough to ensure we could dine whilst the baby was given lots of attention. My new favourite place!! ”
“ Excellent full English breakfast made with local butcher's products. Great service, lovely owner and staff. Small venue though so there may be times you can't get in e.g. weekends. Other breakfasts are available here! Decent coffee too. ”
“ Recently had lunch at Clarke & Dean today, the quality of the service was exemplary, the food was made fresh and was very good quality. The waitress in particular was brilliant, my 1 year old dropped their fork on the floor and the waitress was immediately over with a new one. Would highly recommend. ”
“ There is not enough space in the comments section to truly commend this gem on the high street in Towcester. From the moment you enter the restaurant you feel an overwhelmed sense of calmness. You will greeted with genuine smiles from the staff as part of the experience . The full English breakfast (which I had opted for) was as best it can get. Local meats cooked to absolute perfection. I had asked for the eggs and bacon to be well cooked and it’s was just perfect. It’s evident that this business takes pride in what they do. The best in towcester by far. Well done! ”

“ Wonderful Mother’s Day afternoon tea. Absolutely delicious. Freshest sandwiches I’ve ever eaten; the bread must’ve been baked this morning! Lovely traditional variety, all perfectly executed. Thoughtful and attentive service without being intrusive. Thoroughly recommend and we’ll be back for sure! ”
“ Best breakfast we've had in a long time. Full English and Breakfast Stack were incredible. The staff were so friendly! We took our dogs in with us as we're on holiday from Kent but called first to check as they are a smaller cafe, the staff couldn't have been more accommodating. It was my partner's birthday and it was the most perfect way to start the day - thank you to front of house and kitchen staff. Liz, Finn, Rusty dog and Koda dog ”
