Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the friendly staff, and the food they describe as home cooked, tasty and generous. The Sunday lunch and Sunday roast draw repeated praise for portion size and value, and breakfast, including a takeaway breakfast described as proper good grub, comes up close behind. Coffee and a good selection of cakes are mentioned alongside a freshly made sandwich, fresh salad and apple pie for pudding. One reviewer says staff checked ingredients for a gluten free child, and another calls the place nice and clean. The only complaint is a single note that the bacon was not cooked as well done as the reviewer likes it, though that diner says they will call back. One visitor who stopped in while travelling for family history research picked up a takeaway breakfast, and a first time customer was won over by the lovely girl behind the counter.
