Sparkys Diner

Went especially for a breakfast which my wife and I enjoy over the years, it does not disappoint. I enjoyed the Forest Breakfast which was serve promptly and by smiling waitress who was very attentive to our needs. Our accompanying tea was hot and very refreshing, but I had to ask for more sugar (sweet tooth). I ate it all and enjoyed every mouthful, in this exceptional cafe/bistro, I can recommend the Sunday lunch’s as well.

Kaplan’s was one of the best finds in quaint town of Lydney. I happened to visit it for the first time in the late afternoon, as this was probably the most promising open eatery in this town, and I reached it walking past all the other highly rated eateries in the town, to this place - probably the last of the eateries in that stretch. The location, ambience, decoration and the menu - all impressed me in the first look itself. The menu had some good options of variety dishes and drinks. I went with the chefs special menu and Google reviews to pick my food and drink. I went with Parmesan Chicken Breast & their signature Hot Chocolate. I loved everything about both the items. The hot chocolate had cocoa powder spread like a dressing and came with a biscoff cookie. The Parmesan chicken came with my choice rice, salads and crisps. Both these items were presented well, had a generous quantity and tasted well too. It was all worth the money (~14£ in total). I also liked the fact that the chef took interest in coming to me and checking if I liked it. We had a short yet good conversation about the food. All the staff were friendly and hospitable. I’ve shortlisted quite a few items including the chocolate chip cookies for my next visit. I’m sure that there are quite a lot of regular customers here for just the hot beverages - tea, coffee and hot chocolate, and I’m not surprised. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ambience ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ menu options ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ food ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ value for money ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ service Verdict: A must try place in Lydney. Trusted the Google reviews and wasn’t disappointed a bit.
