Benson Cafe is a gem! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a warm and friendly atmosphere. Our waitress, Jodi, was outstanding—attentive, polite, and genuinely helpful, making sure we had everything we needed. I ordered the Classic Chicken sub, and it was absolutely brilliant. Though the portion was on the smaller side, the flavors were spot on, and it was just the right amount to satisfy without feeling too heavy. Every bite was fresh, well-seasoned, and delicious. Amanda was lovely and made sure that we enjoyed the meal, you can definitely feel that the staff actually care about service and that's apart of the warm welcome. The cafe itself is cozy and welcoming, making it a great spot to relax and enjoy a quality meal. With excellent service and tasty food, Benson Cafe is definitely a place I’d visit again. Highly recommend!

Spot on. Lots of staff no queue and it's all open sided so it feels relaxing. Went in with the lads and we had a good gobble. Nothing left on the plates. Not a rip off either.

So I have been a returning customer to Benson's for years. I mean years. Consistently good quality appropriately priced food each and every time I have visited. Wheel chair users, welcomed and tables made available. Toilets available in back of restaurant in main concourse of the forge. The staff I hope are very much appreciated by the management of the place because they are all amazing at what they do. How they all function like a well greased cog. Great puddings and this old boy loves their apple pie and custard. Very very clean environment and good visuals of the working kitchen which I appreciate. This place prefers cash as it needs to be saved these days but paying by card is also accepted. Tipe for the staff are accepted also and I appreciate that you don't automatically add a tip to the final bill, it's down to the customers choice to give a tip or not. Honestly guys this place in the main concourse of the forge called Benson's is blooming amazing and I continue to this day to give them my custom.
