Welcome to Em’s Bistro
At Em’s Bistro, we’re all about simple, honest food made with care. From hearty breakfasts to comforting lunches and freshly baked treats.
Start your morning with the classics you love: a full English breakfast cooked fresh to order, tasty breakfast baps and lite bites such as smoked salmon and scrambled eggs, for a lighter start to the day. Our fresh pastries & Grab‑and‑Go treats are perfect with a coffee, a quick pick-me-up or as a little indulgence. We also have hot and cold sausage rolls, buttery filled croissants, plus a counter full of delicious cakes, perfect for every sweet tooth. Also available for takeaway. Available from 10am.
Hot Drinks to Warm Your Day, whether you’re a tea lover or a coffee fan, we’ve got you covered: English tea plus a variety of flavoured teas, and freshly brewed coffees, speciality drinks – why not try one of our delicious milkshakes?
Lunch is served from midday and hot food is available until 3pm. Our menu is all about comfort and choice with something new to try every week: homemade weekly specials, filled jacket potatoes with generous toppings, freshly prepared baguettes, homemade soup served with bread or baguette. There is something for everyone.
Local Goodness – We’re proud to support our local community and you will find on offer locally sourced Emmaus honey and marmalade, plus delicious ice-cream.
There is plenty of space to relax, whether you prefer the cosy atmosphere indoors or the fresh air outside; we’ve got plenty of seating both inside and out for those who love to enjoy their food al fresco.
