Food is fantastic but I found the one member of the staff a rude on two separate occasions..over panicking about covid controls despite everyone wearing masks and being sensibly distanced..I was almost barked at when I entered (both times )and told to step back despite being nowhere near anyone ..then on the second occasion a local with a mask under his chin walked past me the wrong way as the same member of staff chatted to him and nothing was said ..was told after waiting 5 mins for service that food would take 20mins due to demand ...why that couldn't have been the first thing said to me when

Absolutely incredible place, Fidget and Bob is hands down one of the best if not the best place for food and drink. Staff are very friendly and always happy to see you. No room for any improvement at all - food is cooked fresh & tastes delicious... This is a must go to place, if you are in the area!

Very cozy cafe, that offers a great selection for breakfast/lunch options.
Very high quality food.
The egg muffin was excellent and so was there premium fruit juice bottle drink selection.
The staff were very helpful and very kind.
We were made to feel very welcome and were very pleased by both food and service.

Great independent cafe in Kennet Island, perfect for a lunch stop whether driving (free parking) or cycling on the canal path.
Either drop in, and its very COVID-securely setup, or use click and collect online and the food is always ready right on time and perfect as ordered.
Pastrami sandwich + Carrot & Orange cake is especially recommended for a pit stop!

We’ve become regulars at Fidget & Bob over the past few months and for good reason. Their ‘Sausage & Egg O’Muffin’ beats anything else out there as does their selection of fresh sandwiches and pizzas. They also stock a great selection of local beers which I’ve been tucking into. Their fresh bread and pastries are all local and absolutely spectacular too. Shuet and Breege are so helpful - nothing is too much trouble. Very highly recommended.

Fantastic licensed neighborhood cafe/bar on Kennet Island, serving brunches, lunches and more. Helpful and cheery staff, USB charging points, good music, a wide range of fresh and locally sourced trad and modern dishes as well as craft beers, ciders and wines. We took home one of the oriental "ready meal" pot soups as well, and it was delicious. A welcome change from the alternatives (e.g. another Costa franchise), so get out there and support your local independent restaurants!

We came here for brekky and it was delicious! And the ladies who run the place are great. They made an oopsie--my partner's food was accidentally delivered to the wrong table while I already had mine and so I was waiting and mine got cold yadda yadda. The owners were apologetic and offered to comp the meal, even though they didn't need to. Am definitely impressed and will be back if I'm ever in that part of town again!
