If you would like to have a delicious variety of food and desserts wrapped in a dog friendly welcoming, relaxed atmosphere topped with an amazing customer service - this is the perfect place! The also have Vegan and Gluten free options :-)
We were served by Renata (the owner) , a lovely woman that definitely understands the importance of having the knowledge of the ingredients in the different dishes and the attention coffee beans needs to be able to produce the perfect cup of coffee.
We highly recommend to give the King Alfred’s kitchen a visit as it’s 5* in every way!!!
A real gem of a place with great food, friendly staff and a welcoming atmosphere. The lady who I think was the manager couldn't do enough for us and easily accommodated us as a group of 8 with no issues, in fact she couldn't do enough for us. Such a lovely place to visit and the food was just delicious! (As were the drinks!) Really well priced too for home cooked food and amazing looking cakes.
Had the best pork and Stilton sausage roll with homemade coleslaw ever today . Will definitely visit again. I should also mention the pineapple upside down cake which was equally delicious.
Great place with atmosphere of English courtyard. If you are around, go to eat there
We pre booked a full afternoon tea at King Alfred's Kitchen.
The table was ready when we arrived, laid with a beautiful tea set.
The staff were all helpful, smiling, polite and friendly. The food was delicious, ham, egg mayo and smoked salmon sandwiches. Fruit or plain scones (fresh, large and still slightly warm) with luscious strawberry jam and lashings of clotted cream. Also a warm beautifully spiced chickpea/veg pastry. And cakes... carrot cake, Victoria sandwich, a tropical cake and a lemon drizzle. All heavenly! Tea or coffee to wash the glut of food down. Absolutely fabulous.
We visited Shaftesbury to see Gold Hill however just by the top of the street was this little cafe. Located in a very old building inside was full of character. We ordered lunch and was served very quickly. All freshly made. The food was lovely and the staff were very friendly. Would recommend a visit.
A really friendly café with excellent food and a great attitude. Thank you, just what Shaftesbury has been looking for. Dog friendly too ????.
I had lunch in this delightful place with my friends, the food was delicious, the location was unique, for me it was a jump into the past, touching the stones of the walls was truly exciting. Very kind staff. Absolutely recommended.
