Butternut Squash

Super tasty takeaway food… Croissant with fried egg and bacon and a toasted scone with jam. Couple of coffees, good taste but tongue burningly hot! Swift, friendly service and good value

In the well known Bath Street this café is a little removed from the promenade and this means it is a little quieter than, say, The Espy or The Beach House. It does the usual mixed fair of breakfasts, morning coffees, cakes, scones and everything in between. Service was friendly and the food is consistent and reliable. If the Beach House is stowed out why not try this place just a 3 minute walk away?

If you’re looking for straightforward café food that doesn’t feel like a rip off then Butternut Squash is the place to come. I really like this place. No frills café food, with friendly staff and a varied menu. The breakfast offering is particularly good and I enjoyed three kippers with lemon, poached egg and toast for the sum of £4.25.
You can get a full breakfast with refillable tea or coffee for £5.50 and my other half took advantage of it. The plate is massive and contains every single breakfast item you can think of.
Cakes are also on offer, I spied a particularly yummy looking piece of lemon meringue pie but was too full to give it a shot.
Inside the décor is unassuming, and there are some seats outside if you want to enjoy the seaside air. Say hello the Barney the collie dog as you go into the café!
