lovely staff, really good food, would come back in a heartbeat

Having read a few reviews I thought id try this place myself. I'm not one of their regulars but I didn't feel left out or unwelcome (as someone else mentioned). Proper mug of tea, great breakfast by a couple of friendly staff. It's not The Ritz, but it's much better value! I will be back.

Great place with a good variety to eat. Friendly staff and good service.

As always, fabulous all day breakfast. Have a Mr Greedy if you’re really hungry! Excellent, friendly service, brilliant prices and, nothing is too much trouble. They also do a most excellent Sunday lunch. Well done you lovely people! We will return! X

Great little local cafe, great full English breakfast with all the trimmings. Staff were very friendly, excellent value for money, would thoroughly recommend this cafe.

I'm all for supporting local businesses and this is a first visit from us but we didn't know it was there but now we do we will be back .

Had a bacon roll. Absolutely stuffed with proper bacon, like a proper bacon roll from the 80's. Not like most places of today where you get two pieces of bacon in a roll and feel like you've been robbed out of your hard earned money. Will go back if in the area again.
