About This Place

Located on Baldock Road in the charming town of Royston, The Heath Cafe Bar is a delightful dining destination that masterfully blends the comforts of a classic English cafe with the vibrant energy of a modern bar and restaurant. Perfectly suited for breakfast, lunch, or a relaxing coffee break, this venue is renowned for its warm, inviting atmosphere and consistently fresh, flavorful food that caters to locals and visitors alike.

The Heath Cafe Bar serves a diverse menu that proudly showcases traditional British favorites alongside contemporary dishes with a thoughtful twist. Start your day with their signature Heath Breakfast, where eggs cooked exactly to your liking come paired with crispy rashers of bacon, juicy sausages, grilled tomatoes, sautéed potatoes, and hearty Portobello mushrooms, all served with fresh toast. Vegetarians will find solace in The Heath Vegetarian Breakfast, thoughtfully combining avocado, spinach, and all the garden-fresh ingredients one would crave for a fulfilling morning meal.

If you’re visiting later in the day, the culinary offerings remain just as sumptuous. The Adults' Fish and Chips Small Platter is a standout, delivering perfectly crispy, golden fish paired with fluffy chips that melt in your mouth. For a lighter bite, the Mozzarella and Tomato Salad provides a fresh, vibrant balance. The Chicken Flatbread and Beef Burger are other popular staples, bursting with juicy, rich flavors crafted from the freshest ingredients. Indulgent treats like the warm Heath Fruit Scone or a decadent Chocolate Brownie make for a sweet ending that pairs exquisitely with their expertly brewed Latte or rich Hot Chocolate.

The Heath’s drink selection thoughtfully complements its food menu, featuring artisan coffees and a selection of invigorating carbonated drinks such as Heath Lime & Soda with fresh lime juice, San Pellegrino’s citrus varieties, and a range of Fever Tree tonics and sparkling waters, ensuring a refreshing sip alongside every meal.

    A nice cafe, with yummy vegan options! Has sometimes been busy. Best during the week before school ends for quiet time. Other customers can be a little oogly which has been a bit off-putting! but good service by staff.

    Lovely views of the heath, very clean and the food was good. I came for breakfast with my toddler and there were plenty of high chairs.

    Such a wonderful place. The staff are so friendly and genuinely engaging, but what really amazed me was the food it tastes so good. Everything is cooked fresh, and you can honestly tell. The cosy atmosphere just adds to the whole experience, and it’s so peaceful with beautiful views while you relax. I was really impressed, and honestly, you’ve got to give it a try. I highly recommend it

    We booked room for post funeral wake. Alfie and his team went out of their way to ensure everything went smoothly. They decorated the room with garlands and photos, the buffet was prepared and laid out promptly and everything was really delicious. Even provided packaging so that we could take away any leftovers.

    This has to be the place in Royston for a lovely dinner,lunch,drink,snack (or all of the above). We live locally so are here on a regular basis.not only food is delicious,staff are friendly and accomodating for children and dogs. I cannot recommend it enough! The food we got today was kids' fish goujons and chips, adults fish and chips (small platter) and kids' meatballs with gluten free pasta.

    Amazing place, a real hidden gem, great place for everyone, that enjoy some outdoor time (walkers, dog walkers, golfers and rugby enthusiasts) but also for anyone who want a peaceful treat with a lovely view. It's placed only about 10 minutes walk from Royston town center. Has plenty of parking. The members of staff are very nice and helpful They have a wide selection of treats you could enjoy . Definitely recommend and will stop by again

    Very busy at times. Used by dog lovers. Best avoided if you don’t like dogs in an eating place although in good weather plenty of space at picnic tables outside for people to bring their animals. Food is very good. Fairly priced for the quality on offer. Order at the bar and be prepared to queue at busy times. Parking usually sufficient but uneven surfaces.
