Reviewing an AIR RAID SHELTER CAFE - A FULL TOUR! 

You’re 💯 bang on about supporting local businesses Gary. The money goes back into the communities. If we don’t support them we’ll be left with bland fast food chains

As a former RAF serviceman, I found this review quite emotional. Thank you Gary for showing us this wonderful business that pays tribute to our war heroes. Food was awesome too...can't forget that. Happy Easter!

What a delightful little place. The individuality is one of the best things about small,independent businesses. What a gem.

Lovely to see an establishment remembering our history instead of trying to erase it

You Brits sure have a lot of places celebrating your history,and that's a positive thing for sure.

Chris (the owner) is such an amazing guy. His brain is constantly going, thinking of new ways he can improve the place and your score really reflects all his hard work over the years 🙏 He has a heart of gold and is so deserving of such an amazing review!

*Gary , this looked like a " GOODNIGHT SWEETHEART" moment with Mr Sparrow 👏😄👍*

1000% with you on supporting local businesses. Let's kick the chains to the kerb. Well done sir.

Gosh, what a great dose of nostalgia or a history lesson for those who are younger. Loved the sandbags and the taped up windows. And no effort spared inside to make it look and feel authentially WW2, short of an air raid! I loved the wall honouring service people too. I'm going to have to pay this a visit! Also no rationing, which was the biggest bonus! And the breakfast looked fresh and tasty. All around smashing for a novelty meal. I loved it. The prices were great. Maybe It's a little bit run of the mill, but for effort, detail and heart and soul, it's got to be a 10 out of 10 from me.

10 overall for me Gary. Nostalgia on a stick. What a great place. 👍

I think I'd have given a 10. Sometimes it isn't just about the food. Anywhere that puts such a smile on your face deservers nothing less

The brekkers looked first class but I was half expecting a doodlebug to come crashing through the ceiling. The 9/10 seemed well deserved.

Hey Gary, just love places like this……”Never in the field of human enjoyment, has so much been cooked for so many by so few.” ✌🏻Definite 10/10 for me.

For authenticity fried bread instead of hash browns, jam in a pot (not those awful plastic tubs) and spam to replace the bacon. I am a war baby and that was our weekend treat breakfast with our one 'black market' weekly egg ! The cream was made from dried milk and Echo margarine was our bread spread.

So nice to see another demonstration of how, with hard work, a bit of vision, and overall attention to detail, the independent cafe can still still hold its own amidst a sea of cookie-cutter chains. And good on you and your channel for continuing to cast a spotlight on these kinds of venues.

I just wanted to say how much I adore your reviews. You truly speak to the majority and for this I applaud you, bravo and please don't change. ❤

thank you gary for reviewing this wonderful place in my town of high Wycombe , you made me proud to put this on the map .. the owner has worked hard to make it a great place without supporting local businesses towns are going to end up with coffee shops and no outlook in life .. thank you soon much in putting this wonderful place on the map best wishes to you keep up your hard work on your great channel

As a bit of a WWII buff, this place is right up my street! The amount of thought, time and effort the owners must have put into acquiring all those artefacts and trinkets must be staggering. Sometimes when you first enter a restaurant or cafe, I immediately hope it's going to be good, and this place is a prime example! I'm so pleased you give it a good score, it would have been a tradegy if the food had been a let down. One very small correction, and I'm not being a smartass here, but that Messerschmitt was actually a Focke Wulf 190. I know I'm being petty, and it isn't even important, the Americans never could tell their aircraft apart either, much more serious as they were manning anti-aircraft guns at the time... And finally, what am I going to give it..? You know what, I'm giving it a ten out of ten. This is a place I would definitely make a point of visiting, indeed I would be almost tempted to fly to England from Northern Ireland, just to do just that! A truly excellent video of a most remarkable establishment, thanks so much for bringing it to my attention.

Fabulous! That's not just somewhere to eat Gary, It's an exhibition...with food.

Looked great. The ham, egg & chips takes me back to the Sunday teas my Grandma used to cook, happy memories. Fab place, great upload, thanks!

Ohh How cool was this. What a great idea for a cafe. Without fail, Gary gave us a real good viewing experience and insight into somewhere special to visit on our beautiful Island.

I wish I knew Gary personally. He possesses a rare character, both interactive, and engaging. and entertaining, a rare combination.

We were there a few weeks back as we'd gone to The Hell Fire Caves.....absolutely loved it..... Reminded me of my parents, Mum.grew up in Ireland during the war born 1936, Dad, born 1921, was a Burma veteran former Chindit.....& my husband is into Military history so a win win..... We both had the breakfast as did our 16 year old but minus the beans as she hates them......the service is excellent and the people who run it are so friendly and accommodating.... When we were in it was quite busy but that didn't detract from the service, spot on. Definitely one to go back to next time we are out that way. Good 9/10 score Gary......excellent review and very fair.

What an excellent place. Being former RAF, that's of great interest to me. All right up my street. What a find. Another great video.

The concept for this restaurant itself is unique and intriguing! And the food was/is so tempting. Keep supporting the small, independent businesses, Gary.

Well said at the end there, Gary. Great passion and a massively important message. Credit to you!

I used to live in High Wycombe, and Years ago, when this was a pub called The Bell, it was my local. It has changed alot since then. I will have to pay it a visit!

Gary I loved this video. I really enjoy these type of places filled with history and bric-a-brac from a time gone by. This restaurant is right up my alley. The food looked good and I agree a nine is an appropriate mark. Gary you're really are hitting your stride with the content being produced. Keep up the outstanding work..............Cheers.

Good review Gary, a modern take on a 40s theme, my nan a proper east ender would walk from Wapping to the back door of the Ritz hotel for a bag of broken biscuits handouts, to feed the kids. That’s what wartime was like in London. ❤

The guy who owns this place is a legend in paying homage to our heritage and to top it off offers great looking food 👏👏👏

Ham with mustard is a must for sure, eggs looked great, chips were good too, all round good quality again😊

This one was terrific Gary,loved it,I could spend hours there looking at everything.I’m probably more interested than some as I was born in 1944,and of cause my parents talked about the war for years,as it was still very much in their minds.As rationing went on to 1953 I also remember that,Mom buying uncleaned chickens,to clean herself to get extra eggs,usually about 2eggs,and several yolks for cake making.Enjoyed this one very much.

This place looks wonderful and the breakfast 1st class!

*Hash browns are best cooked in an air-fryer for that crispy top and soft center 😌*

Yes what a lovely place Gary, it definitely deserves a 9

Piccolo tomatoes go great on a breakfast. Drizzle them in a high quality balsamic for a nice charred finish .

What a magical place. Kind of like a time machine. Grub looks good too! 👍🏻

You gotta get into eating mushrooms Gal.

Really good to see another Gary vid' today..✌️

❤wow luv the ambience

Absolutely brilliant ❤ i love places like this, full of atmosphere and history. The ambience, not to mention the food looked top class. Another fabulous place. Thank you for your wonderful video and review. Always brightens my day when i see a new video. x

Hi, Gary! The place looked spectacular and the same wirh the food! The breakfast looked and sounded like it was on point, the same with the ham and chips! Got really hungry now!! 😁 Absolutely a museum/cafe which now is on my to visit list. I really don't understand how they have been able to collect and decorate quite tastefully with such a variety of memorabilia.. It's really impressive and really more like a museum than a a cafe!😅 Glad you enjoyed it and already looking forward to your next review, mate! Have a wonderful rest of your Easter and take care. Will try to get that email off to you one of these days. 😊

Stunning amount of work gone into this place.. thanks for sharing..food looked great and price's not ridiculous

Great effort to do something unique. It must be an effort for the staff to track down where first time customers have gone to sit though I would have thought? So many rooms to check!

Looks an amazing place and lovely food I think a 10 Gary and you have your scone the way you want

I can't believe places like this exist! Your paying for the whole experience, not just the food! Takes my back especially seeing that kitchenette you walked past, what a great vlog 👏

What a fantastic historical food place

Great job Gary!

Hi Gary and Mr cameraman.. another lovely relaxing vlog..I would choose tinned plumb tomatoes..for no other reason than memories of my mums breakfasts..vine tomatoes are just as acceptable..and for me you got the scones perfect..cream then jam..my reasoning behind that is..butter is made from cream..and on bread butter is always spread first..😉🤭..or am I overthinking things..ha ha..😂👍

Hash browns on a 1940s breakfast. Controversial, but it looked decent.

Have been in here as its local to me, and I'm so glad you found it and given it some recognition 😊.

Absolutely wonderful

The place looks great. Breakfast looked ok but I prefer tinned tomatoes and my toast unbuttered on a seperate plate. The sliced ham, egg and chips was ok but would be better with peas instead of the salad. Cream scone looked really nice. On the whole a great experience.

The price should have been ignored. When the bill came, a 10 bob note and asked for the change. Now, that would have been authenticity! Seriously, it's a fine place with good food. Good review, and thanks for taking us along. Appreciated.

What a quirky, colourful and unique place bursting with history and decent-looking grub too! 😋😋

Lovely place food looked lovely it deserved that score thanks gary for another great review

*Great video Gary , you should have danced the 1940s Charlston when walking in 😊 👍*

This place looks far too british to be showing. 😂 Some viewers might get offended. 🙄 Great looking fry, would much rather plum tomatoes than fresh tomatoes, personal preference.

Great as always!

I think for a complete package and the lengths they have gone to it has to be a 10/10 . I feel like watching The Dam Busters .

What a wonderful place, nostalgia everywhere. It's like the Tardis. I cannot get over how fantastic the place is, you could spend hours just looking at everything. Breakfast looked so inviting. The chips looked great. Clotted cream again, nothing better, a cream tea. It's a ten from me. What a magnificent place. I really enjoyed everything about this wonderful place. Weĺl done Gary.

i would love to visit this place its so nostalgic

another amazing video! Thank you Gary! Cheers

I love the fact that people donate items for the themed rooms - great stuff. I need to visit sooner rather than later.

Gaz, you wee face was beaming! You loved that place🥰 awesome work as always, Ben , Perth, West Coast Aus x

Absolutely love the look of this place and the food! Great find, Gary😊

Absolutely astounding. I have no words.

Thank you Gary for taking us on another great adventure.

Amazing place, totally agree with you about supporting these lovely gems, food looked traditional and decent x

Wow, what an amazing place. A joy to watch Gary.

WOW. what a amazing cafe,love it.

absolutely amazing.. class.

How lucky are you to visit such a lovely place, there's items and furniture in there that I can remember being in my grandma's little council bungalow, I was only 9 when she died in 1969 and I have fond memories of her especially her blonde hair lol, thanks Gary 👍

Nice review Gary as always, thank you 👍

Nice review Gary, thanks very much

Another cracking review, thank you.

Thanks for the tour Gary. Always good when the restaurant has more to offer other than a table. chairs and the window.

Scones too you are spoiling us Gary cup of tea too,you have spoilt us there Gary❤

I love the feel of this place. Thanks for highlighting all these wonderful places Gary.👏

It's like a mini museum, love it. ❤

Looks fantastic can't wait to give it a go well done.

Another nice one. Love that you are being so detailed and unbiased, Gary

That has to be the largest FULL ENGLISH I've ever seen that large for one person! Amazing and quite intimidating.....

Oh my gosh.. its nostalgic coziness and hearty meals and warm company. Memories of my Grand Aunt Winnies Front Room,- especially for Guests - in Ruthland. Muted colors, small rooms, mantle clocks and ornate gold mirrors. Everything looked divine. Our Cameraman ate today?! He has such skill.. the shots are superb! Gary too. ❤❤ ♥️🧡💛💚💙💜💖💕 Lotsa Love gentlemen!!

Excellent. Historical place and the food didn't cost a bomb.

must be of the quirkiest one of its kind youve ever done a video in, what a great find

Love coming home to see a new upload. Another great one and definitely one for the history buffs! Thank you for sharing your experiences with the world, Gary! 😊 - Anthony

What a brilliant idea, it is like going through a kind of museum and then having great food after it. Great video.

Love this little historical place. Happy Easter!

Wow, amazing. Only words have

A properly cooked breakfast! Lovely. What a wonderful place and I love the odd crockery.

Great review Gary.. food looked fantastic 👌🏻

Great video as always Gary and a superb piece of nostalgia, those chips dipped into that runny egg was my highlight!

Great review as usual. Wow what a place. I love it! The budgie cage brought a tear to my eye as my late Gran had one of them.

Wow Gary your spoiling us again what a fantastic place it is never seen anything like this before the food looks great as well thankyou 😊
