I discovered this, quite by chance a few years ago when I had been out walking with my husband. I love market cafes and have eaten in at least half a dozen but this has to be one of the best! I had the chance to revisit this week, this time with my son, after a very long walk which meant we were very hungry! The menu is huge and so are the portions! We had a cheeseburger and small breakfast and enjoyed every mouthful. The food was piping hot, very tasty and well presented. I’ll be back!
Went to this market for the first time, unusual place to have a market. We needed to go to the haberdashery shop inside. There is a cafe, bookstall, haberdashery,vape shop.
A very dated shopping area.a limited number of shops.one nice cafe.good variety of cooked food 8/10.
Sadly it's more than half available stalls open but it's still a nice place to look round
Went to cafe for lunch.lovely food.staff polite and friendly.very clean.
