"Once in a while my wife and I crave a full English . The circumstances have to be right. We have to be hungry and we have to be on a journey or a shopping trip early in the day. So on this day, very recently, my wife and I drove to Gloucester having deliberately missed breakfast we don 't bother anyway most of the time). We knew where we were going because we check Tripadviser for possible locations. We 'd already seen the reviews for the Trojan Cafe so we said OK let 's check it out. The first favourable impression is that the place is kept very clean and that the decor is uncluttered. I noticed some framed pictures of Turkish holiday locations so I 'm guessing the staff may come from Turkey. My wife ordered a basic all day and I ordered the full all day . We had two mugs of tea and much to my surprise the tea tasted good. I 'm the tea expert at home so I know a good cup when I taste one. We didn 't wait long before the food arrived and I was in for a shock when I got my plate. My reaction was Good God when I saw the amount that was on my large plate. This amused the man who brought it. The plate was full and it was all there and it was piping hot. I won 't list the contents of my all day breakfast other than to say all the elements were there in abundance and excellently cooked. I finished the lot except a couple of slices of toast. Had I thought about it I could have asked for some marmalade and I would have finished the remaining toast off as well. Anyway I was full. I realized I wouldn 't need any other food for the rest of the day. And so it proved. One bit of advice I 'd give to the pleasant staff at this cafe is to research the black pudding a bit more. As a Northerner I 've sampled black puddings before they are not all the same. The black pudding served at the Trojan was a little bland. They can be better and probably a little more expensive. Go for the less fatty type drier and more flavoursome. Notwithstanding I ate the black pudding served up to me. My wife and I turned up in smart casual country clothes and we were surrounded by tradesmen wearing their working cloths streaked with paint and oil. I knew we were in the right place. I thought it was funny. We were all there for the good food and tradesmen know where to get the good stuff. So do the local pensioners who were also there. The prices were right. All in all a very pleasant dining experience but you have to be hungry to cope with the Trojan signature dish. My wife and I both returned empty plates. A couple of pieces of toast don 't count. We will return when we feel the need for a proper full English ."

"Delicious and welcoming Wow how on earth have we not come accross this before, looking for somewhere to eat on a busy Saturday with pride, rugby and the your of Britain in the city we walked a little further the normal to find somewhere to eat with space amd here we found the Cavern working with adults with varying different abilities and difficulties I was excited to findout what the Cavern was all about. It's more then just a cafe/ restaurant it's a safe place to relax , a venue of many talents and really has it all. The menu was brilliant has lots and lots of choice and even a specials board too where we chose the mac and cheese with garlic bread at just £5. The food was absolutely amazing, came quick and hot and most definitely a service with a smile. It's worth mentioning the coffee too this was some of the best coffee I've had in Gloucester! Was there anything to pick out that could be better at such a great venue well maybe there where a few areas that could do with a good clean but it's moat certainly wasn't anything to take away form this epic venue and the worm they do. This is now my favourite go to spot for food and a drink. Thanks the Cavern and please pass on all my thanks to the team on Saturday 9th Couldn't wait to return so went back today 16th /9/23 they where very acomadateing with a meal request we had and sorted it, we also had to pannis that came with crisps and salad it was super tasty sorry we didn't get a photo but can recommend the halloumi, bacon and chilli jam one !"
