Customer Review Summary
Breakfast is the main draw, with the full English and an omelette of bacon, onion and cheese on brown toast singled out most, alongside thick toast, big portions and a good cup of tea. Close behind are the coffee, which one reviewer rates above a chain's, and the chicken pasta with spicy mayo, plus sausages, a cheese and ham panini and milkshakes. Reviewers describe a clean, family-run place with friendly, down to earth staff who go above and beyond, and some mention vegetarian and vegan breakfast options and books by the window. The complaints are specific. One diner found the bacon still pink and the sausages cooked on one side only, another was disappointed that poached eggs were not offered, and one reviewer reports finding small pieces of plastic in a milkshake. A delivery customer describes staff shouting in the back, being cut off mid-call and hung up on with a sharp "bye then" after complaining, though others praise the delivery breakfasts as cooked to perfection. One diner walked out raving about the omelette and returned to pay for a newspaper taken by mistake.
