We had breakfast at a cafe that has been serving breakfasts since 1982 and it did not disappoint. 

Mr Munch can be found in Festival Place and it is known for its 'no frills meals', lovely customer service and value for money. 

The family-run cafe has been serving food for 41 years and boasts a giant menu that includes fry-ups, burgers and even pizzas.

Reporters Mark Paine, Lola Crossman and Joe Christopher all gave the cafe a go to see why it's been so popular over the decades.

Basingstoke Gazette:

The hash browns were crispy on the outside and soft in the middle

Lola said: "I had a vegetarian breakfast, and it was delicious. It comes with eggs, beans, hash browns, tomatoes and mushrooms, the latter of which I swapped for even more hash browns.

"The waitress was attentive and extremely polite, and our food was brought out shortly after ordering.

"The hash browns were crispy on the outside and soft in the middle, and the eggs, tomatoes and beans were all cooked perfectly. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal and would go back again."

'I thought the meal was cracking value for money'

Mark said: "I had a decent-sized breakfast baguette and a lovely cappuccino, which went down an absolute treat. The food was well cooked, and the service impeccable - no longer had we sat down, had we been served, with the waitress very attentive and friendly.

"We all finished off our food, and paid for three drinks and breakfasts for about £25. I thought the meal was cracking value for money, with Mr Munch having an extensive menu, which I'd certainly be interested in exploring further.

"All in all, great experience, and a place I would recommend highly."

'The portions were generous and the food was very hearty' 

Joe said: "The establishment looked very clean and well kept and the staff attentive to their patrons with a lot of space to seat a variety of group sizes.

"Once all orders were taken the drinks were delivered very promptly and the food not soon after.

"The portions were generous and the food was very hearty and filling so if you need a quick place to feed your hungry and impatient little ones Mr Munch is ideal.

"My one gripe with the cafe is purely the fact that they only accept cash and not cards, however this isn't hard to comply with as there is a conveniently placed cashpoint just around the corner."
