"We had a fantastic meal at Monty’s. We visited as a family of 8, and they were amazing at catering to all our needs—including coeliac requirements and fussy little eaters. The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating, making sure everyone was happy. The food was great, and the service was so friendly and helpful - absolutely spot on. A wonderful experience from start to finish—highly recommend!"

"Popped in with out booking but surprisingly they had a table free. Drinks came quickly, our order arrived with 15 minutes. It didn’t disappoint, absolutely gorgeous pancakes with fruit and maple syrup for me and my sister had a slice of their homemade coffee cake, huge slice!"

"Food was brilliant and tasted amazing! My 6yr old loved the pancakes with maple syrup, my husband said the full English breakfast was the best he had ever had. I have food allergies and the waitress was amazing at double checking what I could and couldn't have, I had the halloumi hash and poached egg... awesome!"
