Inside it is a bright and irratic collection of chairs, tables and what can only be described as stuff! The food is good, i love a good fry up and mug of tea and they do it well, although a late breakfast might mean the microwave is used. Its popular with the local students, but because they are marlborough students then they are very well behaved. Some of the chairs can be uncomfortable and they dont take credit cards, cash only!

Food and pastries pretty good though. Felt dizzy and sick after milkshake though. When I confronted the workers they offered to remake it which was nice so service is pretty good! Always got old dishes on tables though and is always packed. Apparently cream is homemade and just had too much fat in it but why sell it if you know you didn't make it properly? Milkshake was £5.30 by the way and cream was an extra £0.60. Absolutely waste. Still recommend just not the milkshakes. Smoothies are absolutely amazing though.

At the end of Marlborough High Street you'll find the 'redundant' church building of St Peters…read more Inside is a lovely gift shop and café: a real find. To enter walk along the downhill side of the church (if you are on Marlborough High Street you'll see what I mean), and you'll find the door. Inside on the left is a wonderful gift shop. It has all the things you expect, with cards, ornaments and jars of nice stuff, but with a twist. This shop specialises in the work of local artists and craftspeople, so you'll find much that is unique and of excellent quality. Prices can be high (some of the artists' pictures sell for hundreds), but there's plenty of good buys to be had, and it's a place you can enjoy browsing even if you don't buy! In the main part of the church there's also a nice café. They serve teas, cakes and simple food on slightly wobbly tables. Again the prices are reasonable, and the service friendly. And the building of course is a beautiful and relaxing place to sit. There is a small chapel within the church which is apparently still put to religious use. They also use the remaining large open space for exhibitions and concerts. It's a lovely old church, and it's great to see it still being put to good use.
