What sets Chilton Diner apart is its mouth-watering menu, featuring a variety of hearty British dishes that cater to all tastes. One of the stars of the menu is the renowned Belly Buster breakfast, a feast that comes highly recommended from regular patrons for its impressive quantity and outstanding quality. Imagine a plate piled high with perfectly cooked eggs, crispy bacon, and golden hash browns, all sourced from local suppliers where possible. You can almost taste the love and care put into each dish!
For those seeking something a little different, the mince and dumplings is a highlight that many customers rave about, with one taking to heart that "if you haven't tried it, you're absolutely missing out!" Another popular choice is the hot beef sandwich, featuring a generous portion of tender beef that melts in your mouth, served with homemade chips that are crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Each dish is crafted to satisfy, making it easy to understand why repeat visitors keep coming back.
But the delicious food is only half the experience! Customers have noted the café's excellent service, with one patron, P Arnold, remarking on how quickly and pleasantly the staff rectified a minor problem, demonstrating their commitment to customer satisfaction. Others share experiences of fantastic service while waiting for the AA, where they were met with good grub and a nice coffee to enjoy while being cared for by attentive staff.
Chilton Diner also caters to those on the go with takeaway options, making it easy to enjoy restaurant-quality meals anywhere. As Zena Aris-Sutton (affectionately known as Zena bob) mentions, this café stands out for its large and tasty baked potatoes, a comforting choice for any meal of the day.
