“Nothing short of superb. A proper, honest, solid, robust greasy spoon which seem to be more and more difficult to find these days. No airs and graces, no pretentious ingredients, no extortionate pricing, no food served on a chopping board, and no techno music. Just a proper menu, great food, great prices, great service and a great atmosphere.”

“A great little cafe on new road side with plenty of on street parking. Stephen loves a full english breakfast and is a big local advocate of the cafe. The cafe is very clean and there is enough seating for small and slightly larger groups. The staff are very attentive, the portions are great and good value for money. He loves a sausage and really likes them in here.”

“The place was immaculate, lovely and clean and tidy. The choice of breakfast food is really good and well priced. The staff were very friendly and helpful, the food was cooked fresh as you can see inside the kitchen, they refilled my thermal cup with tea for me. When the food arrived the bread roll, well that's what I call them where im from was so fresh it was pillow soft and lovely. Would recommend it 100% and if passing in the future will definitely pop in again. Thank you”

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers come back to this cafe above all for the full English breakfast, with several calling it the best they have had and one singling out the big bite breakfast. The sausage gets a specific mention, as does a soft, fresh bread roll, and a hot cuppa that one reviewer had refilled in a thermal cup. Close behind are the prices, which many describe as good value, and friendly staff in a place reviewers call clean, with plenty of seating and a long menu. One reviewer values it as a proper, no-frills greasy spoon. The criticisms are small. One reviewer found the red and brown sauce not the greatest quality, and another was disappointed to pay for two sandwiches with only two slices of bacon in each. Even so, repeat visitors describe breakfast arriving perfectly cooked every time, with the tea or coffee included alongside the full breakfast.
