Wonderful cafe and bakery. Lovely atmosphere and great food - a wonderful harissa aubergine and cauliflower salad and a cinnamon bun to die for. The other cakes and savouries (sausage rolls and scotch eggs) looked delicious too. Would definitely recommend and will be back soon.
Fantastic cakes and breads amongst other things, friendly staff, a real asset to the village. Highly recommend and definitely worth a visit.
The best coffee, cinnamon buns, pulled pork sandwiches served by the friendliest faces! Love this place even more knowing that they use local produce!
Excellent coffee, lovely relaxed atmosphere. I love the smell of freshly baked bread and you can watch it all being made in the background. Breath of fresh air. Well done team.
Well done on a winning formula. That was such a treat today, to pop to your light and welcoming cafe and enjoy a great lunch. Your coffee is superb and I give the dark Belgium hot chocolate, an excellent and a gold star. The deli is well stocked with lots of interesting products, which Ill back to sample another day. Thankyou and see you again soon.
Wonderful place!!!!! Best cinnamon buns have ever tasted. Coffee great and very welcoming atmosphere. Will be back lots and lots!!
Top draw food and fantastic staff.
Great place to call in for a coffee too.
If this was a beer advert, it'd say their sausage rolls and freshly baked bread were probably the best in the world.
But it's not a beer advert. And there's no probably involved.
Perfectly placed in the Cotswold village of Clanfield Blakes Kitchen is perfectly placed for me. I have spent several afternoons comfortably placed in the cafe working sending emails etc. The coffee is amazing and I can personally highly recommend the fantastic delicious home made sausage rolls and home made cakes. Brilliant surroundings and a brilliant all round location.
More recently I have had the pleasure in working closely with Nicola & Dan by supplying and installing two new commercial awnings at Blakes Kitchen that now only compliment a wonderful local cafe & deli.
Get yourself down there you will not be disappointed.
I've just eaten another one of Blake's scotch eggs, which was absolutely delicious. They are all crunchy on the outside and juicy and light on the inside, in a completely different league to what you'd get in a supermarket. Angus
I would go to the moon and back for cakes from you, and now we have foccacia, aubergine parmigiana, fresh tasty sandwiches, delicious homemade bread, nutritious salads - all to die for. So look forward to collecting all these goodies every time...
Used the cafe yesterday and enjoyed my coffee and sandwhich inside as they now have table and chairs. Frendly service.
Great coffee. Great cakes. Even greater bread !! Scotch eggs, sausage rolls, pizza, tarts etc etc ...... and all served with a smile!! Fantastic place. Everyone must give it a try.
Amazing! Everything is delicious - so lucky to have this on the doorstep.
Amazing all around! Best carrot cake I have ever had anywhere on the planet.
Amazing small town cafe with post office.
Excellent bakery with fresh bread made on site.
Clean environment and covered outdoor eating area.
Friendly staff and service with a smile - just as we found everywhere during our cycling tour of the Cotswold.
We had visited a handful of times and never repeated our order. All the food we tried had been great. We had sandwiches today. They were very delicious. To be specific the pulled pork sandwich and sandwich with avocado, halloumi and fried egg were very delicious. I've never left the place without a loaf of sour dough. It would be wise to have them slice the bread. We struggled even though we had a pretty good bread knife.

Having organised a rendezvous over lunch with another family, we all looked forward to eating at Blakes today, especially after having heard such good reviews!
Upon our arrival (12:30), we discovered that there was a struggle for parking. Thankfully, there is a free car park at the far end of the village, just a few hundred metres down the road and well within walking distance, with a footpath all the way. Understandably, it was fairly busy being the peak of lunchtime on a Saturday and we borrowed a couple of chairs for our makeshift long table.
The menu is varied and the food on offer caters to a wide audience, with kids and vegetarian options available.
I ordered the Blakes BBQ pulled pork Brioche bun. It came with coleslaw and homemade paprika shoe strings. It truly tasted delightful, so much so, I couldn't stop my daughter from stealing half of it! I would strongly recommend for all meat lovers out there!
My wife ordered one of the specials; cheese toastie served with Portuguese chorizo stew. The toastie tasted decent, especially having been served on Blakes' very own, home baked sourdough bread (loaves are available for purchase at the till for £4). The stew however was rather disappointing, despite looking appetising and presented well, it tasted quite bland.
The toilets were clean and tidy, as was the rest of the cafe. I found that the customer service could have been slightly more friendly, as I did not see a single smile. It is more expensive than most cafes but you are getting what you are paying for; high quality produce. I enjoyed my lunch at Blakes and I would recommend it to all, for a high-quality lunch out.
The food was so tasty and there was so much choice! I had a full English and my partner had chorizo hash, both were amazing. We will be back to try the rest of the menu. Staff were lovely and thoughtful, wishing cyclists a safe journey as they left. Decor was cool, lots of seating and just generally a very good place to visit.
Stopped here for breakfast on our way to our campsite at ye olde swan. Had the best full breakfast I’ve had for a long time and my wife had the French toast with compote which was lovely too. Friendly staff and great service . Took some cakes too when we left which were very tasty. Small car park but the road outside you can park on but a bit of a busy road.
Lovely place in a beautiful village! From brunches to cakes and doughnuts. They have the best cinnamon rolls I’ve ever had! Staff is very friendly and they have evolving menu with seasonal options. Highly recommended!!
My family and I recently had the most wonderful lunch at Blake's Kitchen, and I cannot express enough how delightful the experience was! The food, oh, the food! Comfort food at its finest! Every dish we ordered was a true culinary delight, made with love and care. But what truly made our lunch exceptional was the warm, friendly service we received from the staff. They went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and attended to our every need with a smile. It's evident that the team at Blake's Kitchen takes great pride in ensuring their guests have a memorable experience.
In conclusion, if you're looking for a place to enjoy delicious comfort food in a cosy and rustic environment with top-notch service, look no further than Blake's Kitchen. Thank you, Blake's Kitchen, for an unforgettable lunch - we'll be singing your praises to everyone we know!
Blakes is a fabulous place. The food is amazing, in particular the scotch eggs and the sour dough are popular in our family. There is lots of seating options- you can choose to sit inside, outside under cover and outside with a sun umbrella. Take your table number when you order so they can find you. Also a great place to get takeaway. The goodness bowls are incredible. The cakes are huge and tasty and it is all at a decent price.
Never been here however my mother bought home a large white sourdough from the weekend and it’s probably the best sourdough I’ve tasted in the UK. Open crumb inside, crispy outside and the sour taste is 👌 *chefs kiss*. This truly is the bread of dreams.
We’re set to leave our humble abode here in Essex to travel the length and breadth of the UK and Blake’s is on the list of places to visit. Watch out for our big boy camper (Vince) rocking up in Bampton sharpish!
Take a bow Blake’s Kitchen your bread rocked my world!
They do the best cinnamon buns in the UK - which I appreciate could sound like an exaggeration - but I’ve not found better! The cafe is nice as well, serving a range of other yummy items. They also sell flour from a local mill which is great encouragement for home baking. I look forward to coming here when I’m in the area!
