Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often point to the friendly, attentive staff, and the food that comes out freshly cooked and tasty. Breakfast draws repeat visits, including from one group who travel in from Derry, and several call it good value. Among the dishes named, the veggie fry, quiche and fish curry with rice stand out, along with a bacon, chicken and cheese ciabatta, a tuna jacket potato with side salad, and a wrap. Scones with jam and cream come up more than once, and one reviewer singles out a caramel square. Coffee earns its own praise, with a cappuccino and a latte mentioned, and one Australian traveller who describes themselves as fussy says the staff nailed it. Others like that tea arrives in a teapot. Several mention the cleanliness, and one notes the mix of locals and tourists. Reviewers raise no recurring complaint. One diner who had lunch, a latte and chocolate cake finished by saying they will be visiting again.
