The Heath Cafe Bar

Always a welcome stop after a bracing dog walk on the Heath. Great choice of food and drink catering to all preferences and dietary needs. Lovely friendly staff, who go above and beyond to make all welcome.
Four legs and two legs treated the same.

This has to be the place in Royston for a lovely dinner,lunch,drink,snack (or all of the above). We live locally so are here on a regular basis.not only food is delicious,staff are friendly and accomodating for children and dogs.

I cannot recommend it enough!

The food we got today was kids' fish goujons and chips, adults fish and chips (small platter) and kids' meatballs with gluten free pasta.

Always a great place to visit, they do nice coffees, have a decent beer and wine selection and have a great selection of breakfast and lunch options. I would particularly recommend the chips, which you can also get covered in cheese.

There are often events especially over the summer that are held at the heath cafe and it makes for a great place to visit after a dog walk or going for a run on the heath. It could also be used as a meet up point for people new to royston.

The car park is large and free but a bit narrow to get in and out of

Find this using Google maps as didn’t want Maccie D down the road to break out long cross country drive. Excellent service, lovely breakfast baps and real barista coffees. A great little find and will definitely use again when travelling in the area! Thank you

Had a friend visiting for lunch and decided to try The Heath cafe. We really enjoyed the food and service was excellent. Lovely catching up with a relaxed atmosphere and a view if the Heath.

Great place to eat, so accommodating and lovely food. Gluten free options are very tasty.

Gluten free options and various milk options available. I was very impressed with my smashed avocado on GF toast. Oat, almond, coconut, soya milks available too

This is a great cafe, it's always packed so reserving a table is a wise idea.

Good cafe and bike ride stopping point. The place can get very busy and when we have gone there is often a 10min wait for coffee.
The saussage roles and cakes are very good!

Lovely first visit. Great food, lovely views, friendly staff and impeccable service. Will be back.

Great place - good food, lots of indoor and outdoor seating, free parking, set on the edge of the heath with good views and easy walking

Yet another superb breakfast! Eating outside, even when it is a little chilly, is such a joy given the splendid surroundings.

Only had one drink there at a post wedding meet up prior to returning to Wales. Great selection of beers to suit most palates, with a balance to modern beers. Three hand pumps included. Wish I could have stayed longer. Great place for families. Didn't have food.

A super place for lunch or just coffee and cake. Extensive menu catering for all tastes including children. Both outdoor and indoor dining. There are plenty of tables that cater for large groups and although there is no need to book it’s a good idea for a weekend especially if you want to eat inside.
Being situated on the Heath it’s beautiful for enjoying the outdoors and children have lots of space to play.
DOG FRIENDLY

We celebrated the life of my husband Tony Jelley there today. Jasmine's care and the whole team were fantastic the food and service brilliant 👏

Popped in for a bit of coffee and cake late this morning with a colleague. Coffee was palatabl3, but nothing special, in line with something like Costas, but it wasn't the worst one I've ever drunk. My excitement on finding some biscoff cake was sadly extinguished when I tried it and realised it was a gf version and therefore drier and more dense, as is often the case with gf cakes. My colleague's scone however was top notch and I'll deffo be going for that next time.
That said though, the service was excellent and everything was kept tidy and clean, despite being so busy. Sitting outside watching all the dogs and their walkers was lovely too. Remember to sit inside if you're not a dog person, because their are lots!
I've been here before and although this wasn't my greatest review, I would still recommend it on the strength of previous visits.
Maybe next time I'll just opt for tea and scone instead!

On a sunny day, sitting outside with lots of safe space for the children to play, friendly staff, excellent service, lovely cakes, reasonable prices ... what's not to like?!

The Heath cafe is lovely, whether you’ve had a walk on the Heath, done some sport or just want to eat somewhere a little out of central town it’s perfect. Great food, but the service is stand out in a modern world where service mentality is hard to come by, everyone I have encountered at The Heath cafe has been fab! Well done to management for instilling that attitude to them all.

Really good meal and quick, friendly service made for a really nice experience. The fish & chips was excellent and waiting staff, who were very busy, were lovely & professional. There’s a mix of tables, fully inside, fully outside and also two marquees that are half and half and welcome on a cooler day. Food was really, really good and they’re obviously trying hard. Nice to see it busy and we will continue to support when the Government ‘Eat out 2 Help out’ scheme ends. Thank you.

Great food and lovely staff. The chips are amazing. Lovely setting, especially on a nice day if can sit outside. Very dog friendly if want a drink of bite to eat after a walk.
