  Very helpful staff. Freshly made oat milk is so much nicer than long life on cartons, and so much cheaper too.

  We rented a huge plastic set of plates and cutlery for a children party. Very recommended service, great way to reuse and get quality items at the same time.

  Disappointing. Visited previously and very happy. Unfortunately it's no longer the same. Veggie breakfast was like nothing previously served. Listed Heinz beans on the menu, unless Heinz has recently changed the recipe they tasted nothing like Heinz. Also bean were 50% sauce. Ordering at the counter was like the Spanish inquisition. Also no falafel offered instead of egg.

  Review: The Naked Quench Cafe A fantastic cafe serving a selection of locally sourced produce within their menu. The cafe itself is a quirky establishment which is true to the zero waste ethos it prides itself on. The Walls are adorned with a myriad of random prints and movie posters as well as local artwork, each table and chair is mismatched and everything is sourced from the local Community. There is WiFi available as well as a small selection of books for customer use. Even the salt and pepper sets are an interesting touch with every table sporting a different quirky set! Wherever you sit there is always something eye-catching to notice and talk about which is a great way to encourage conversation! The food is reasonably priced and good quality and compared to other establishments in the area it’s great value for money. The bacon was cooked to perfection and the sausages flavoursome. I found the staff to be very welcoming and friendly, I was shocked to see how other reviews described the staff here as it certainly wasn’t my experience. I wanted a milkshake but couldn’t decide which flavour ice cream I wanted to try (they all sounded delicious) the lady recommend trying the ginger – a bold choice but surprisingly refreshing - and she was right! The staff were very knowledgeable about their products and keen to discuss their campaign against waste and single use plastics, I can understand how this may have come across as patronising to some but they are obviously very proud of their business (and rightly so) and keen to educate the local community about how to be more environmentally friendly and sustainable. The shop next door (The Naked Pantry) offers a wide variety of kitchen essentials, baking ingredients and cleaning products at 0 waste so don’t forget to take your refillable containers. (I believe they do provide some if required) If you are in the area particularly if on holiday or camping nearby it is well worth a visit!

  Now I have discovered this place I won’t go anywhere else! I have had such a positive experience. 1. The staff are sensational ! They are so friendly, genuinely interested in what they sell and are so good at interacting with customers. 2. The products are carefully curated and varied. Especially the interesting soaps and reusable reproduces ! 3. The whole process is very easy to purchase things and it is quite fun buying things !! 4. Great value for money - considering that this place could never be as cheap as somewhere like Tesco’s the owners are clearly trying to make being environmentally friendly more affordable. It is so amazing to find a place like this in such a rural area.

  I've visited Naked Pantry a few times to get coffee and the staff are so friendly and chatty. I bought a reusable cup today as they are no longer offering disposable cups and I'm looking forward to 25p off each coffee from now on. Thanks for the lovely service!

  My first and only time there a few weeks ago and I have never been treated so patronisingly! I ordered a pot of tea and was given a lecture about how they didn't do pots of tea because it would involve using teabags, that they were zero waste and that my tea would be in an infuser (they've obviously never heard of tea strainers!). OK. So far so good. However, when my tea was delivered I was asked if I'd ever used an infuser before (yes, many times but it's hardly rocket science!), was told to be careful and put the infuser in an accompanying bowl and not to let it drip on 'my' (her) table and not to get it on my boots, which were under the table! Definitely not welcoming, incredibly patronising and, I understand, they're not that zero waste with regard to the packaging their goods are delivered in (perhaps the local binmen might like to comment!). The only good thing was the tea, but there are plenty of other places to go. As it is, I don't like being patronised aggressively and the owner should learn some basic manners towards her customers. Also, as someone who recycles just about everything, I don't want an environmental lecture when I buy a cup of tea. Avoid!
