Customer Review Summary
Breakfast draws the most praise, led by the full English, which reviewers describe as a large portion of quality ingredients with sausages, bacon, hash browns and fried eggs cooked to a runny yolk. One calls it probably the best in town, and several mention great value. Close behind are the sausage sandwich, homemade pancakes and a small breakfast with tasty sausages, while others single out the hunter's chicken toastie, avo toast and a cold berry smoothie. Coffee, including an excellent latte, comes up repeatedly, along with a decent pot of tea. The back garden with bistro tables, picnic benches and large umbrellas is a frequent bonus, and the indoor seating is called relaxing. Staff are consistently described as friendly and welcoming, and service as fast. One diner recalls a waitress who stayed patient while they took their time ordering, returning to the table several times.

“Visited a couple of weeks ago and had a fantastic Full English Breakfast. My breakfast had 2 sausages, 2 bacon, 2 hash browns, 2 fried eggs, 2 toast, mushrooms, beans and cherry tomatoes on the vine. All tasted really great. Eggs were cooked just how I like them with a runny yolk. Also had a nice coffee. We were three people, arrived around 11:30, managed to get a table without waiting. Staff were friendly and food didn't take too long to arrive. Would definitely love to revisit.”
