The Woodside Café: Never Judge a Book by its Cover!

Don't say we never go to swanky coffee houses! Today, we surpassed ourselves by calling in at the 'Woodside Café,' which just happens to be ... erm ... a portacabin!

With the old saying of "never judge a book by its cover," we parked up in the car park next-door, which was free, so no complaints. My initial thought was that the café was a pit stop for motorbikers. I really like Harley Davidson and Indian bikes, so I was pleasantly surprised that both bikes were in the car park!

The café had been closed for a while because their generator had broken down, and there had been a change of management. I was pleased to see they were back open for business as I was really intrigued as to what it would be like. If the bikers liked it, then I knew it couldn't be bad. It was as I imagined inside very basic but with a friendly atmosphere.

The coffee was bog standard nescafe that you helped yourself to at the coffee machine. It was still a good strong drink though, accompanied by a veggie fry up. It was one of the best fry ups I've tasted for a while. I hope the new managers don't try and change things too much. If it works, then that's all that matters.

The covers of coffee shops do not define the good vibe you feel when having a good cup of coffee, it is aesthetic,although for many aesthetics count, I think that as long as your ritual is not broken, everything remains in the background.

Sometimes, you are wowed when you enter a coffee shop and are thrilled by the welcoming atmosphere and the vibe inside, though the exterior part may give you a different notion about it.

Many times you don't need a place with many luxuries, just a sincere smile, kindness, well-prepared and delicious drinks and food are enough.

Thanks for sharing your experience with us.☕

Happy weekend.

No frills, coffee, fry up and some beautiful 2 whel machines. Slices of fried gold that is.

It's a while since I've been in a café like this. It's mostly trendy coffee houses nowadays but I loved it!

Yeah, i kinda miss the unpretentious greasy spoons . Couldn’t beat a catch up over a fry up and a cuppa in one of those back in the day.
