Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often return for the cooked breakfast, with the full English and the wide beam breakfast singled out for butcher's style sausages, crispy hash browns, black pudding and eggs cooked as asked. Close behind are the quiche, served with chips and salad and described as packed with tasty ingredients, and eggs benedict, along with milkshakes (cookie n cream, strawberry) and pots of tea that arrive within minutes. Portions are called generous and prices reasonable, and the staff are described as friendly and helpful. Several mention views over the marina, outdoor seating and a comfy atmosphere, though the popularity means a slight wait for a table at times. Complaints are small but specific: one diner found the salad in a salmon salad dirty, another found it stuffy and hot inside and wished for fans or air conditioning, and one visitor found the till cash only and wanted more umbrellas for shade on the tables. One reviewer who arrived early on a Saturday had a table at once, ordered without queuing, and finished nearly every slice of toast.

“Nice little place to sit and have a drink or something to eat. Only downside today was it was cash only at the till, and the tables needed a few more umbrellas for a bit of shade.”

“Been here several times and never been disappointed with the excellent food perfectly cooked, even my eggs were cooked correctly and not left with runny white in them which I hate. The place has got more popular over time and so there may be a slight wait for a table, I think people just dont like to move as its a comfy friendly atmosphere with views over the marina.”
