Bensons Cafe

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.

A good greasy spoon cafe at good affordable prices. We really enjoyed the salt & chilli chips & the breakfast burrito. The cakes are also really good! The coffee isn’t the greatest but overall a great affordable meal. Definitely will be back when I’m in the Forge.

I really appreciate that they have a separate gluten free menu! The breakfast in particular is very good and nice to have coeliac safe chips. Staff are always lovely and friendly, it’s one of those establishments that are consistently good.

It's a café, but the food was good. We had soup and a triple decker sandwich which was great. We had a cheeky side plate of chips with beef stew topping, you have to try that if nothing else. The staff were polite and chatty. Absolutely love the music, but that helps if you grew up with that music. Would definitely recommend.

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!

Great place to visit n the blonde woman with the pony tail is top class service. Always really nice. Bacon was missing off breakfast but fixed instantly n nothings a problem. She's an amazing waitress. Be back soon.

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.

Great little place to grab something to eat. Traditional Scotish pie and fry are great. Will come back to check the Apple pie soon. Seating is plenty though the noise from the mall is a bit loud. Service is nice and the place is clean. 1 fork was a bit dirty but we managed, and surely if we ask we could had have a replacement.
