Customer Review Summary

The strip burger draws consistent praise, described as freshly cooked, soft, and tasty, with several reviewers also citing the varied menu and good coffee as reliably strong. Friendly staff come up repeatedly, and a couple of visitors mention the free WiFi as a bonus while working nearby. Against this sits a real cluster of complaints. One diner describes ordering a chicken and gravy baguette that arrived as mostly stuffing after a thirty minute wait. Another reports finding a long hair in a collected food box and being told nothing could be done. A different reviewer notes the absence of bacon or pork sausages and no extractor fan, leaving clothes smelling of oil, while another found the breakfast cold on arrival despite good coffee. One visitor arrived at 3pm to find the door locked despite posted hours. These accounts sit alongside a separate one calling the breakfast and pricing unacceptable and service inattentive. Several reviewers still note the halal food and family friendly feel as reasons they would return.

    “I very much enjoyed stopping here while having my car worked on at Kwik Fit across the road. Fast free WiFi, friendly staff, and excellent value.”
  • Shez Sattar
    “I went there at 3pm, the lady said it was closed through the window and the door was locked. They need to update there times on Google. Had to settle for chippy opposite.”
  • Archie R
    “NO BACON or PORK SAUSAGES! Definitely not the Crusty’s that used to be here! I wouldn’t ever go here again, it’s actually worse than school dinners for me. The staff are friendly but sorry I won’t be returning. And o came out smelling of oil because they don’t use an extractor fan!”
  • W W
    “Avoid at all costs. This was an exceptionally poor experience—the breakfast was of unacceptable quality, and the pricing was unclear and unjustified. Service was inattentive and unprofessional, reflecting a complete lack of care or standards. I would strongly caution anyone against visiting.”
