Third time me and my wife have been to Pakington Pantry and again the food was amazing, and fast service and seating (we phoned ahead and had a booking, which I HIGHLY recommend during busy times). As others have noted, the place is quite noisy and cramped (we came during Sunday brunch), but the food is really good and reasonably priced. Highly recommend for small groups of 2-3 as it would be too packed for families for instance.

It was a busy Sunday morning & it seemed possibly like they were understaffed. We weren't in a hurry but that's just how it felt. One example, we were asked if we had ordered by the one person taking the orders - that just seemed a little odd. But, everyone was friendly so no real complaints there! I had the Hangover Wrap & my husband had poached eggs, hash brown & bacon on toast. Food was good, just lovely to get out & not have to cook every now & then.

Really enjoed our food here. The Middle eastern hummus was sensational. My Wife eats nothgin but the ancient gran porridge everytime she goes here and my son loved his french toast. The service was OK - but needs a little more friendliness and the place was nice - but quite tight if you are on a four seat table.

I echo @lizRyan’s comments - we dined on a busy Sunday morning. We were rushed to order & the waitress rushed us by continuing to say ‘anything else?’ It seemed they were understaffed? Our food arrived well before our coffee’s. The middle eastern was flavourful & fresh with the lemon adding nice zest, my chilli eggs were vibrant & seemed awash in sauce which initially gave me apprehension but it was a mild pimento - both had perfectly poached eggs. It was a shame that I received the wrong dish as I don’t like a lot of heat/chilli & I had expressly asked to remove fresh chilli & keep the chilli jam (on the red chilli scramble) but due to previously mentioned ‘rush’ - the order wasn’t repeated back to us & it was missed.
