Roads End Cafe

Roads End Cafe is a lifesaver at this time of the year, we were on the NC500 and fancied a bite to eat when we got to John o Groats. It is such a basic cafe but still serves hot toasties/sandwiches, soup and small cakes/scones. The lady that served us was lovely, so welcoming and willing to go the extra mile, she even recommended the haggis and cheese toastie which I couldn't turn down. Since it was so quiet, it was takeaway only but she let us sit in due to the gale force winds outside. I have to say the toasties are the best I have had in a while and not even that expensive despite the location, absolutely fantastic. It is a little gem if you're looking for something eat when you reach the most northernly point in Scotland!

After a cold and windy day of travelling we were so pleased to be so warmly welcomed by the lovely lady at this cafe (I believe her name was Bea?) and delicious hot breakfast. I cannot say enough good things about the service and hospitality of the people both in the shop and in the cafe. Brightened a cloudy day and gave us some tips for our travels. Thanks to Elaine for the tablet recipe too! 😊

I got told loads before coming to John O'Groats that it was boring, nothing to do and not that interesting... Pish! Absolute nonsense! They obviously weren't served by Rosie at the Roads End Coffee shop and they obviously didn't have their £3.50 breakfast cooked to perfection or an amazing fruit scone. If I didn't live 300 miles away I think I'd be a regular. Thanks for the service 😁
