Cosy ‘attic’ cafe with tasty all day breakfast among plenty of other choices for savoury meals. Add in a good selection of homemade cakes and it makes for a great place to visit.
You have to mind your head and look out for the floor rafters too, but if you don’t have your eyes on your phone, it’s not hard to see where you’re going.
We got there and sat down at the last but one available table (there’s about 10), so we did have to wait a while for our order but it didn’t bother us as it gave us time to talk before the all day breakfast and bacon burger arrived. We didn’t feel rushed and ordered some delicious carrot cake later on. The staff were very friendly and apologised for the waiting time, but if a place is popular, I’d rather have that than wonder why it’s deserted!
Will definitely be returning at the earliest possible opportunity.
What a lovely place to take rest drinking a hot coffee and a toasted tea cake! The village is really cute and everyone so kind and polite. We definitely coming back to taste some more delicious food!
Lovely little café, hidden away in the rafters. We had great food and service
Genuinely beautiful little hidden gem, this wonderful cafe is fantastic.
I'm a burger man and if there is a burger on the menu I will give it a try, I ordered the Brie and Bacon burger - this was easily the best burger I think I've ever had. It was delicious!
Bella Boo, the resident pup was an unexpected treat, bless her. So much like my childhood dog that I instantly fell in love with her.
Lovely overall experience and fantastic food. We will be back 👍
Always a friendly welcome.
Great freshly cooked food, which is locally sourced. Excellent menu selection.
The one thing I love is the fact that when eating here you are you are eating in the oldest building in Hungerford- dating back c1300
A great place to rest awhile in between browsing the myriad cabinets of Anitiques and Collectibles . We have been visiting the Arcade and Rafters Cafe for very many years and have always enjoyed the warm welcome and warming food and drink. It good to see there are still a least some family run businesses left in these old market towns and we are very happy to support \Rafters Cafe in a most ancient building.
Breaking News : So impressed have we been we now even have our own small cabinet of collectibles in the Arcade.
Rafters is a cosy and quaint little cafe, tucked inside the attic of the antiques store. They have quite limited seating space (7 or 8 tables if I remember right), but the atmosphere is excellent.
Really good variety of hot and cold food on the menu, and at reasonable prices. My friend and I had a toastie, and a cream tea, and everything was delicious! Good quality ingredients and presentation, and it was served piping hot! The staff were friendly and polite.
The only downside I can think of is that they only take cash, but that's not unusual for a small café. Bottom line is, we will definitely be going again soon!
A small cafe up in an attic area inside a shopping arcade - hence the name. So, you need to watch your head. There aren't that many tables so you may have a problem at busy times and it's very popular. Try the fresh and tasty cheese scones. Hot chocolate could have been a bit thicker.
Note that they only take cash.
Rafters is a cosy little cafe perched in the timbered roof space of the Arcade in Hungerfod. The friendly staff offer a selwction of simple but tasty foods - salads, ploughman's lunches, toasted sandwiches, jacket potatoes, vurgers, cooked breakfasts and cream teas, for example. They have a selection of soft drinks, teas and coffees. Definitely worth a visit!
Lovely baked potatoes and such a lovely old style cafe, up stairs above an antiques arcade. Quiet and atmospheric. Loved it.
