Very popular cafe. The owner reckons you should never be able to hold a sandwich in only one hand. Very true of Pitstop. Quality food well cooked with friendly, professional staff. Eating area is very clean. Tables are cleared and cleaned at all times. You can get a take out service if you require. A great vibe. Very popular with workmen and an excellent bike night held every Tuesday evening. Great place to meet with friends for a slurp and a bite to eat. You are never rushed from your table and are able to linger for a conversation after you have eaten and had a drink. Highly recommend The Pit Stop Diner
The Best Breakfast here 😊 Great local cafe. My dad’s favourite place for a full English. The staff are always friendly and happy to help. We love coming here for our breaky fix!
Fantastic food. Great customer service. Well priced. Have visited a couple of times and will definitely be going back to try some more of their menu.
Great little cafe, staff were great and the food was spot on. If you're ever in the area we would highly recommend this place. Thanks for having us.
My mate Phil introduced me to this place. So glad he did. The All English Breakfast is the best i've ever had. For £7.50 they don't skimp on the portions for a large and you get a cuppa tea with your breakfast, the full works for a fry up. The staff are a great laugh. Highly recommend, round the corner from the Market Tavern. An absolute hidden gem.
