We ordered a buffet from here on recommendation & I have to say I was highly impressed. The food was fresh, plentiful & the presentation was spot on. This is the only place I would now order a buffet from.
Glad I don't live near here, im already fat enough! Wow.. absolutely bang on. So much to choose from, I'm going to have to end up back in the area just so I can sample something else. Food perfect so fresh and tasty. Recommend to anyone wanting a sandwich, meal or them gorgeous looking baked goods that were staring at me through the glass!!
Ordered a mixture 17 sandwiches and rolls for our work lunch. Food was lovely, service was great. You can clearly see that this place is very popular for a reason. Thanks girls!
me and my partner have been coming here for a long time, however the past couple of times have been awful! we ordered two well done sausage sandwiches for pick up, we collected them and they were barely even cooked, nevermind well done. we gave them the benefit of the doubt this time and then tried again today, we ordered the same thing as always and again it came barely even cooked and my partners was smothered in tomato sauce. really disappointed as this used to be our go to place for breakfast!
