Went to Rowhedge for a drive out today. Popped into The Jam Jar for a coffee and cake. Decent cappuccino and an excellent slice of bread pudding.

Delighted that the Jam Jar cafe is once again open for take away drinks and food. It now has a large covered area outside so that whatever the weather you are protected from the elements. Lovely friendly service and my decaf, soya cappuccino was delicious. A great stop off on our Sunday walk

Previously reviewed jam-jar but staff have changed since. Had some time inbetween jobs so popped in for a breakfast. Initially a bit frustrated at the time it took to arrive (inbetween jobs) but when it came out it was well worth the wait. I was a bit wary that the servers/cooks were very young so didn’t expect much from the breakfast, to the point where as i left i had to ask if they had actually cooked it! It was well presented (although im not a rectangle plate fan tbh), all hot, eggs were on point, bacon and sausage well cooked. It was a cracking breakfast for less than a Ayrton!
