Dining at Bowlers Cafe - The heart ❤️ of Chaplins
Step into a warm welcome at Bowlers Cafe, a traditional cafe in the heart of Chaplins Garden Centre—where comforting classics, friendly faces, and that lovely “time for a treat” feeling come as standard.
Whether you’re stopping in after a browse of our bargains or meeting up mid-morning, or settling in for a proper plate, it’s perfect for breakfast, lunch, or refreshments with friends, family, and loved ones.
Breakfast served all day, every day :-
There’s something wonderfully reassuring about knowing you can enjoy a classic breakfast whenever the mood strikes. Bowlers Cafe is the home of traditional cooked English breakfasts served all day, every day, 7 days a week—made to be filling, familiar, and full of flavour and from only £5.99
Come hungry, come cosy, and make it a slow, satisfying start (or restart) to your day—any day of the week.
Signature dish: Bowlers Belly Buster
If you’ve heard the legends, this is why. The famous “Bowlers Belly Buster” for £14.99 is the ultimate big breakfast challenge: 3 sausages, 2 eggs, 3 bacon, beans, mushrooms, 2 hash browns, sautee potatoes, 2 toast, 2 black pudding, and 2 hogs pudding—finished with the playful question: “Can you eat it all?”
It’s bold, it’s brilliant, and it’s made for those days when only a truly traditional feast will do.
Vegetarian breakfasts:-
Prefer a meat-free start? Vegetarian breakfasts are available, bringing the same comforting, traditional feel—just tailored to your taste.
Traditional lunches :-
When it’s time for lunch, Bowlers Cafe keeps things proudly classic and properly satisfying. Expect traditional lunch dishes including fish/chips/peas and lemon slices only £8.99 and grilled gammon steak with chips/peas/pineapple rings for £9.99—ideal for a hearty midday break after exploring the garden centre.
Lighter bites and snacks :-
Not after a big plate?
Keep it easy with lighter options: grilled panini, traditional toasties, baguettes, jacket potatoes. Perfect for a quick catch-up, a mid-shop refuel, or a “just something tasty” moment with a hot drink.
Desserts and sweet treats :-
Save room for something sweet (or make it the main event). Treat yourself to desserts like hot pancakes, waffles, Knickerbocker glory, and ice cream with sauces, squirty cream, and sprinkles—cosy comfort with a little extra fun on top.
Drinks and refreshments:-
Pair your meal with a well-earned drink—whether you’re warming up or cooling down. Choose from luxury coffees, hot chocolate with all the trimmings, a selection of teas, and refreshing cold beverages in the chilling cabinets.
Dog-friendly welcome :-
Well-behaved four-legged visitors are part of the family here. Dogs are welcome, with fresh drinking water on request and a free doggy sausage if allowed; ask a staff member.
