    We had a wonderful experience at Nancy Eatery. We booked ahead and spent the morning doing a pottery class at Robert Gordon Pottery as part of the school holidays before heading to the café for lunch. Although we were originally seated inside, it was such a beautiful day that we asked if we could move outside near the children’s playground. The staff were incredibly accommodating, and nothing was too much trouble. The playground is fantastic for families, with soft synthetic grass and plenty of seating nearby, making it easy to relax and enjoy your meal while the kids play. The menu had a great variety, the food was absolutely delicious, and everything was fresh, full of flavour, and beautifully presented. The coffees were excellent too. Having the café right next to Robert Gordon Pottery is such a bonus. Whether you’re visiting the pottery first like we did, or simply looking for a great café, it’s the perfect place to stop for breakfast, lunch or coffee. It really makes for a lovely day out. We’ll definitely be back and highly recommend Nancy Eatery for its delicious food, fantastic coffee, friendly service and family-friendly atmosphere.

    Not sure if short staffed, took more than 30 minutes to have a drink order taken. When i went to the counter to order the woman was terse. The crumpets were under cooked and cold inside. The iced coffee was great.

    I took my 3 grandchildren and they had chips, yummy, and a ham and cheese toastie each. Unfortunately the toasties were on sourdough bread so they were too crusty and wide for the children to eat. We did order from the kids menu and I think they should have been on ,'ordinary' bread..we couldn't even cut them. They weren't eaten, taken home in a takeaway container and they were still hungry....maybe consider kids menu toasties are nit made on sourdough bread.....
