A nice little greasy spoon. Food is well prepared. Prices are fair and in line with other similar cafés.The venue is clean and tidy. Most of all the staff are always cheerful and approachable. It's a real shame these places are disappearing.Parking is tricky. The bays outside have a 1hr limit and if you get a space it's your lucky day. There is an industrial park around the back if you are willing to walk.

A proper builder's cafe. If you know you know, if you don't it might not be the quintessential British breakfast experience you're after.A good variety of breakfasts and options to customise thereafter.Lush

This is a lovely little friendly cafe. Such a very varied menu. Plus tea and coffee is served in a generous sized mug! Will definitely go again.

Clasic British greasy spoon cafe. Great food served with a mug of builders tea.This place has been here for years, and serves the local industrial estate and drop in callers looking for a quick bite.Highly recommended

I recently visited Rumblin Tums, and overall, my experience was quite pleasant. The highlight of the evening was undoubtedly the staff. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm smiles and exceptional service. Special mention goes to Mary, who was particularly outstanding. Her polite and attentive demeanor made us feel welcomed and well cared for throughout our meal. She anticipated our needs and ensured that we had everything we required without being intrusive.The food at Rumblin Tums was delightful, living up to the restaurant's name. The menu offers a variety of options, all of which are reasonably priced. Each dish we ordered was flavorful and presented beautifully, showcasing the chef's attention to detail and dedication to quality.One of the great perks of dining at Rumblin Tums is the free Wi-Fi. It's a thoughtful addition that makes the restaurant a convenient spot for those who want to stay connected while enjoying their meal. Whether you're checking emails, sharing your dining experience on social media, or catching up on some work, the reliable Wi-Fi is a definite plus.However, there is one notable drawback: the seating arrangement. The space is quite cramped, which unfortunately detracts from the overall dining experience. The tables are positioned very close to each other, creating a lack of privacy. At times, it felt as though we were dining with the people at the neighboring tables. This tight seating can be a bit uncomfortable and may not be ideal for those looking for an intimate or private dining experience.In summary, Rumblin Tums excels in many areas, particularly in customer service and food quality. The addition of free Wi-Fi is a nice touch that adds to the restaurant's appeal. If you don't mind the closely packed seating, it's a great spot to enjoy a delicious meal served by a team that genuinely cares about your dining experience. I would recommend it for a casual meal out, but perhaps not for a special occasion where ambiance and privacy are key.
