Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the breakfast, with an all day breakfast of really thick bacon and lovely eggs, plus the best scrambled eggs one diner has had in years, leading the praise. Close behind are the bacon rolls and baps, including an avocado, bacon and egg bap, a sausage bap and a cheese and ham toastie, along with a ham and cheese croissant and a cheese and chive scone. Coffee, tea and cake are also described as lovely. Several mention generous portions that are filling for the price, and some describe proper home cooked food. Many stop in before a train, and the friendly staff and the retro, old world charm come up repeatedly, with one reviewer calling the owner a friendly presence. The one complaint is a single reviewer who found the staff rude and said a young server had an attitude. Another diner who missed a train and ended up ordering a bacon roll after a toastie called it a blessing in disguise.

“Very rude staff who didn’t want to be there. Underage girl with an attitude working - hospitality is not the career for her .”
