Customer Review Summary
Burgers draw the most attention. One regular returns for the wagyu beef burgers, another calls the Tasties burger juicy and full of flavour, and a lunch customer says it beats what the pub serves. Close behind are breakfasts described as fresh, tasty and non greasy, along with the hot chocolate, smoothies, chicken avocado panini and pancakes. Staff are repeatedly called friendly and attentive, and service is described as quick, including help with a drinks collection. Reviewers also mention good portion sizes and a menu with something for everyone. The one critical review concerns breakfast: that reviewer found far too much sauce on the eggs and felt the food quality fell short, though they liked the atmosphere. Elsewhere, a couple visiting on a busy Saturday morning were seated within minutes and had their requested changes to a dish accommodated.
