Delicious lunch here today, liver & bacon for myself, lasagne for my partner. Cooked to perfection. Meals accompanied by proper vanilla milkshakes. Busy lunchtime but staff are really efficient. Highly recommended cafe.

Amazing service, exceptional food packed with flavour, lovely atmosphere but was very busy (which is understandable because of how good the food is).

Best cafe in the town centre, clean, bright, lovely staff, cooked to order, would highly recommend. You can get a cooked breakfast all day (they have lots of different set breakfasts to choose from - all come with tea or coffee, and toast or bread). Jacket potatoes are huge and come with salad, burgers, and chips are also a huge hit ! It's a nice place to visit as a family because everyone has something different and everything is always on point ! It is a family run business and they are always helpful and happy to see you.

Took the whole family for a Saturday morning breakfast. Staff were warm and welcoming, high chairs available and a good menu for all ages. Food came out fast and perfectly cooked. Our new favourite café!

Friendly staff. Quick service. Food was tasty, even on a busy lunch service. Kids were happy with their meals, as were the rest of our table. We were a large table of dining guests.
