“Just visited this place.... one of the worse sandwich shops ive ever been to. There was literally nothing in the panini truly terrible food. Would not recommend”
- Jasmin Carson
“I honestly can’t recommend this place enough. The food is absolutely incredible – easily a 10/10 every single time – and the prices are unbelievably cheap for the quality you get. It genuinely feels like a hidden gem. What makes it even more special is the lady who runs it. She is one of the kindest, most welcoming people you could meet, and she goes above and beyond to make every customer feel valued and looked after. You’re not just another order here – she really cares. This is the kind of place you keep coming back to and tell everyone about. Outstanding food, amazing value, and truly exceptional service. Couldn’t ask for anything better.”

Customer Review Summary
Breakfast is the main draw, with reviewers praising full English breakfasts cooked fresh to order and vegetarian breakfasts where the egg was cooked well and the toast was made with good quality bread. Close behind are the cobs, with one online customer enjoying a pork cob, and a large breakfast with coffee that another calls great value. Portion sizes and prices come up repeatedly, and several describe the owner as friendly, pleasant and helpful, with service called efficient and accommodating. The garden area is dog friendly, with fresh water bowls supplied, and one reviewer who attended a nearby beer festival notes the cafe also catered for the setup and takedown teams. The main complaint is a single review calling the food terrible, saying there was literally nothing in the panini. When the brisket cob had run out, one customer received a second pork cob, a handwritten apology note and a "sorry flapjack".
