Customer Review Summary

Friendly staff come up in nearly every review, described as lovely, attentive and quick to take an order, and diners pair that with food they call delicious and freshly cooked. Close behind are the hearty plates. One reviewer describes a steak sandwich with mushroom and garlic mayo, a pot of peppercorn sauce and chilli chips, while another praises a special sandwich with warm, crispy bread, tasty fries and delicious sauce. Others mention big portions, a choice of breakfast or lunch meals, and a proper little sun trap outside. One reviewer calls the prices reasonable for the quality. Lunchtime gets busy, though diners still found a seat. Several recommend it for brunch. One reviewer who ordered the full English added extra hashbrowns after seeing how they looked, and another asked for coffee extra hot and got it exactly that way.

    “I came to the cafe today for the first time. The place is lovely and proper little sun trap outside too! The staff are very friendly and attentive. The food was outstanding, it looked amazing and tasted even better. Such reasonably priced for the quality of food you get. I had the ultimate steak sandwich with mushroom and garlic mayo (I think it was) it came with a pot of peppercorn sauce and chilli chips! So fresh, hot and succulent! I will definitely be returning!”
