Me and my family stopped here for lunch today. We had a lovely breakfast with lots of gluten free options for us. It’s was one of our nicest meals out while away and definitely will try and return. Very friendly staff and reasonably priced.

Tried Charlie's as my wife is gluten free. Both had the traditional breakfasts (1 gluten free if course) both excellent . My wife finds it very difficult finding a decent breakfast for a reasonable price and Charlie's provided this. Will definitely visit again when in Worcester
