We went on the recommendation of friends. The lady serving took our order but wasn’t particularly friendly, oh well…. While we waited we had a look at the very impressive artifacts around the place and wandered through an open gate into the ‘museum’ area. We were soon shouted at by the owner and told in a very aggressive manner to get out. As we left he pointed to a very small ‘closed’ sign on the gate, we tried to apologise (in French) but he continued to shout aggressively at us. The gate had been open so the sign wasn’t visible, and a simple request to leave would have been sufficient. His reaction was over the top and unnecessary. We were there with very young children, they didn’t need to see it. The food was reasonable, the price was a little expensive but you pay it given the location and artifacts, but I definitely wouldn’t go back given the owners behaviour.
My wife and I had lunch here after visiting the remembrance trail sites in Pozieres. The cafe features a large amount of WW1 artefacts and makes for a unique dining environment. We ordered a couple of baguettes and chips which were ok but nothing spectacular. The lady who served us seemed a bit grumpy and was probably the most surly French person we met during our trip. The cafe has an adjoining museum however it wasn't open when we visited which was a shame.
We visited 9th June 2023. We stopped for a quick drink on the way to our hotel. The barman was very friendly. We didn't eat but the food looked delicious. There is a dining area that has lots of interesting artefacts from WW1 and a small trench museum that you can visit for 7 euros. There is a good selection of beers but some are very strong so ask before you buy.
A must visit place for anyone experiencing the Somme. The owner, Dominic, is an expert ofln the history of the area as well as being a friendly host. The food is of the chipsnwith everything variety, but good nevertheless and generous portions at a reasonable price. The artefacts on show are better than most museums and the recreation trench is impressive.
