Had a bacon sandwich. Bacon very nice and plenty of it. Granary bap tasty. Service good. Apple juice pleasant enough. Perfectly acceptable lunch!
Enjoyed a delicious freshly made sandwich & coffee today it was lovely! Such a lovely atmosphere & friendly staff.
I go here regularly for a small breakfast with fried bread and a pot of Earl Grey. Friendly staff and comfortable surroundings. For a take home treat try a Battenberg cake, best you'll find anywhere, slice it up and it freezes just great. You can usually park on the main street somewhere FOC, just put a parking disc in your windscreen (parking disc's avalable in many shops foc) - Recommended
Fantastic food freshly made and a friendly welcome every time… Great value too! 😀
Superb food, superb service and great staff, always extremely polite. Lovely little place. The breakfast rolls are delicious. Not the cheapest but you pay for what you get. They certainly don't skint on the fillings 👍
