Customer Review Summary
Diners most often return for the breakfast, repeatedly describing it as fresh, warm, and delicious, with several noting quick, well-organised service from the waitstaff. Close behind, the coffee earns praise for its quality, and the brownie paired with coffee is singled out as very delicious. A few highlight the versatile menu and the ability to order and pay at the bar, with meals served in good time. The atmosphere is described as spot on for relaxed conversation, and the space is noted as clean and well maintained. One reviewer reports a severely disappointing roast dinner, citing bland food, watery gravy, and chewy, grilled-tasting beef. Another describes a poorly cooked steak plate that was entirely overdone.

“Without a doubt the worst roast dinner I’ve ever had in my life. Save yourself the disappointment, your money, and your time - do not eat here. The food was completely bland, the gravy had the consistency and flavour of water, and the beef was unbelievably chewy. To make matters worse, it wasn’t even roasted, it looked and tasted grilled. Calling this a roast dinner is honestly an insult. I genuinely don’t understand how this place serves this and thinks it’s acceptable. Never again.”

Location
How this listing is sourced
- Where the data comes from
- Name, address, hours, contact details, amenities, ratings and review counts come from the business's publicly available profile data — not from the owner and not from paid submissions.
- How it stays current
- Every listing is re-checked on a recurring crawl, and anything reported as wrong is corrected at the source rather than patched on the page.
- How it is ranked
- Placement is never sold. Every business on the page is ordered and compared using the same public signals, so an owner cannot pay to move up.
