Salads are on the menu too, among them a prawn, cheese and ham salad. The menu is large, and dishes can be customised to your own tastes.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often return to Mo's for the cooked breakfasts, praised as superb, piping hot and served in large portions. The burger at lunchtime comes close behind, described as equally delicious, and others single out a prawn, cheese and ham salad, a cheese omelette and a homemade garlic mayo. Prices come up repeatedly as reasonable, and several mention quick, polite service and friendly owners who welcome regulars. A few call the tables and inside very clean, and one notes the huge menu can be customised. The only criticism is that the decor reads as a bit jaded American diner style and needs a slight freshening up. One reviewer says the car park was busy but they parked just down the road, while another found ample parking. Some regulars say they pop in just to say hello to the couple running it.

“Since moving to the area I have been a regular visitor to Mo’s. The cooked breakfasts are superb! Portion sizes are extremely generous too! Run by a lovely couple who are so very friendly and welcoming. As a result, I’ll often just pop in to say hello to them when passing. Highly recommend Mo’s for a lovely breakfast. I’ve also had the burger at lunch times which is equally delicious!”
