We had a lovely visit to Tabby Terrace and enjoyed meeting the kitties! It was a lovely relaxing environment. The only suggestion I would make is regarding food, I didn’t see any information online beforehand and didn’t realise that you had an all day breakfast/brunch menu, so we’d eaten lunch before coming and planned to have coffee and cake. However there was only one cake available. We would come again though, my children loved playing with the cats

We had a lovely time at the Tabby Café yesterday. The cats were really playful and the food was good. I had a caramel latte and I was amazed that they even had sugar free syrup for the coffee. Lovely place.

I took my mum & kids as a treat. Overall we enjoyed ourselves, especially my cat mad daughter. It was lovely that the staff offered treats to the kids to help them interact with the cats. The cats all looked super well cared for and had plenty of freedom. Everywhere looked clean. However we had some disappointment in that my mum is disabled and although can walk she asked for a (hard) chair to sit on to reduce pain from arthritis and was told no. In the end after having to switch allocated tables, she was able to sit on a sofa rather then the floor level window seat, but even this caused her pain. Please consider investing in a couple of extra chairs for elderly who prefer to sit on a proper hard chair. I was confused about what to do on entry to the cafe so it would be great if you can include more information on your bookings page/website (that tables are pre-allocated, you must wait to be seated, and you pay at the end) as this would've smoothed things out for us. Lastly, I accept the £4 entry involves covering overheads and cat care - but the £3.60 for a can of coke seems excessive! I would probably return based on how much my kids enjoyed it, but based on cost we could only afford to come as a treat!

We had a pleasant and relaxing 80 mins. There was no worry about paying for entry or drinks etc when we arrived this was happily settled at the end. Staff were friendly, cats were loving. My daughter who loves cats absolutely enjoyed the experience.

Lovely cat cafe, cats were very friendly and clearly well loved. Our waitress was smiley and the food was lovely. The lady I assume is the owner was less smiley and I felt we were slightly inconveniencing her by being there. Would take our children back as they loved it but not sure I'd return without them.

Took my daughter for 30th birthday hot chocolate and cats treat! Cats were so friendly and playful. There was a happy birthday sign and cat party hats! They came running up to us when we got there and enjoyed their treats. The hot chocolate was perfectly made. There were cakes on offer which looked very tasty but no food is cooked in term time. We heard stories about the cats and there were lots of play areas and toys for them. A lovely experience. Will certainly visit again.
