We had a fabulous lunch at The Speckled Frog in Hamilton. The staff and service was fantastic, they accommodated all our questions and requests. The hot chocolate was amazing, I believe it had real chocolate melted into it. 5/5 stars and I would recommend this café to everyone.

On a freezing raining wintery day this cafe was a godsend, complete with warm gas fire. The carrot cake came ever-so-delicately warmed with excellent flavour and texture. The roast pork focaccia had purple cabbage which complemented it perfectly. Lovely meal.

I have heard radio ads for this café for years, but had never been to it - until recently. Amazing food and the service was second to none. Will definitely be back!
