My mum and I had a lovely lunch today. My Mum had one of the pensioners specials, fish and chips, a large pot of tea and a lovely rhubarb tart and custard from the friendly efficient staff. I had a chicken wrap with a side salad, chips, a cappuccino and generous sized fifteen traybake. The cafe was clean, bright, warm, colourful, with local artwork for sale, and friendly and I hope to return again soon.

Excellent spot for dinner. From the moment I went in the staff greeted us and were very friendly. Didn’t have to wait too long on our order being placed or served and the food itself was above what I was expecting. Honestly one of the best restaurants I’ve went to and will definitely be calling again. Thanks again to chef and front of house staff.

What a little gem of a place this is. On arrival you are greeted by a lovely warm welcome from some of the most nicest and attentive staff you will meet. Whether visiting as a family or an occasional short opportunity for going as a couple with my Wife, Little Del Toro never disappoints with each experience an absolute pleasure and food always absolutely delicious. On our latest visit this week I had to go for the LDT Breakfast which is for me the best breakfast there is around! Thank you to all team, looking forward to seeing you again sometime soon!

I recently went to Del toro with my family. I went for a steak sandwich, which was absolutely delicious. The house fries are fantastic as well. Waitresses are polite and extremely friendly. Nothing is too much trouble. The service is 10/10, and we all left feeling very impressed. We certainly will be back.

I decided to stop by Little Del Toro, having been a loyal customer of (Big) Del Toro before it closed, and I’m happy to say I’ve never had a bad experience. It became a go-to spot for me and my partner before it shut. In fact, Little Del Toro has exceeded all expectations. Really enjoyed my visit to Little Del Toro—delicious food, good coffee, and a relaxed atmosphere. The staff were super friendly and everything was fresh and well-made. Perfect spot for a casual lunch or just to unwind.
