4 of us came on a Tuesday lunchtime, we have been before and always enjoyed it ! When we came it was really busy and they had a refurbished cafe since we last came. It was nice and colourful but the seating seems to have reduced not sure what it’s like upstairs as we didn’t go up but where we was sat we felt squashed ! The lady who was serving us was nice but kept telling us she was new and we didn’t need to keep being told but she did a great job. When the food came it came wrong as my mum is Gluten free & when the lady sue who was a different lady to who took the order brought her food out she slammed it down on the table and my mum said I didn’t ask for a toastie I asked for a normal sandwich “ Just to make you aware gluten free bread always has to come toasted “ so we spoke to a manager and we got it sorted my mum recieved a normal sandwich with some complimentary fries ! My jacket potato was nice and so was the others, we won’t be returning as sue was very rude and abrupt and it’s put us off.
Me & my mum went for a late lunch, we had homemade mushroom soup which was absolutely delicious- big portion, with a lovely warm roll & butter. The staff were lovely! So friendly & helpful- we’ve been before & will definitely go again- really enjoyed it
A beautiful cafe set back of the road. Delightful atmosphere, and the food and more so the presentation of the food was a 10+. The bacon was absolutely delicious (it brought back memories) really a treat for me. Everything was fresh (non of the taste of stale grub). I really enjoyed my experience, and it was worth every penny I paid. (Quality food and very reasonable pricing). Lots of parking spaces and a lovely traditional English cafe with plenty of room to eat in, friendly service with a smile.
Consistently very good. Great team always welcoming, attentive and efficient. Food excellent, dishes to suit all tastes, extensive menu.
Hard to find the shared entrance via the main shop 🙂 It seems popular and for a good reason. Good selection of coffee ☕ and snacks, as well breakfast and food dishes.
