  “First and last time at the horn. Nice little place, bacon rolls are nice. However.. my partner asked for bacon with no fat as a preference, and the girl serving sighed and rolled her eyes as the guy serving explained that its already cooked and that he would do his best. The girl continued to huff and make snide faces, rolling her eyes even when she went away and came back. She then made a snarky comment about what number of roll the guy was on as she returned. Not a very nice or professional person doing that over someone's preference of how they want their food.”

  “I have passed this place for years with the anticipation of stopping in, drawn by the self proclaimed ‘world best bacon roll’ on the way to a job. Genuinely disappointed, we ordered 4 bacon rolls £5 each btw so I had high hopes. It’s just a basic bacon roll nothing special about the roll not prepared in any special way not even buttered. The bacon (4 rashers) was thick catering, dry and left nothing in the mouth but the taste of salt. Work mate and I couldn't even look at our second roll which is unheard of. “Worlds best bacon roll” This is no better than any roadside van you could get anywhere, Save your money and just go to Greggs.”

  “Coffee and bacon roll = £8.50!!!! No butter on the roll. Sauce sachets on the side. Basic set up. Canteen vibe Rolls are not cooked to order so it was colder than I hoped due to being pre cooked and stored in a metal tin. The fat was also stringy. For £5.80 I would expect better! Restaurant run down and signage missing”

  “Such a cool retro cafe. Bacon rolls, as others say, are absolutely stand out. Coffee also really good. Prices fair and staff really friendly and service prompt.”

  “I stopped here on my way to Dundee to try the much lauded Bacon Roll. At £5.30 it is pricey, but with 4 or 5 rashers crammed into the roll it's almost justified. However, the bacon was far too dry and had obviously been kept warm for quite a while. When I queried it, the reply was that most of their customers liked crispy bacon. It was reasonably tasty and the roll was nice, but as I prefer my bacon fresh grilled and succulent even although I passby fairly regularly, I won't return.”

  “Great place to stop by and have a delicious roll with lots of meat. Quick service. No dogs allowed but they have a picnic area, and they bring your food outside. Highly recommend it. I did stop again for a nice roll, the food was nice and great customer service, although this time inside it was very smokey. Not sure if something was burning in the kitchen or what was it, we had our food at the picnic area.”

  “Came here today for a late breakfast and had a great time! The Horn has a little gift shop at the front where you can get some souvenirs and little gifts, as well as strawberries and ice cream. The cafe at the back has lovely options of sweets. Their rolls are delicious and really well served. The dishes came out super quickly. The coffee and the tea were good as well. The staff was friendly and welcoming. Great place overall!”

  “So there we were, bombing down the motorway, stomachs growling like angry badgers, when out of the corner of our eyes we spotted it: a cow. On the roof. Not a real one (sadly), but a life-sized bovine perched proudly above what can only be described as the holy grail of spontaneous roadside decisions. Curiosity (and hunger) won. We pulled in. The sign in the window screamed “BEST BACON BAPS IN THE WORLD” — which, frankly, is a bit like someone shouting they’re the best lover in Europe. Bold, questionable, and only one way to find out. First of all, the bap. A soft, fresh, buttery bread cloud that hugged the bacon like it knew it was part of something special. The kind of bap that makes supermarket rolls die of shame. Then the bacon. Not flabby. Not burnt. Not that sad, translucent business you get from hotel buffets. No, this was deep-fried glory. Crispy on the edges, chewy in the middle, and seasoned by what can only be described as divine intervention. We’re talking a generous pile, too — not two lonely rashers pretending to be friends. This was a bacon crowd. A smoky, crunchy, joyful crowd. The staff were lovely — the sort of people who’d make you a cup of tea even if you told them you hated tea, just to convince you otherwise. One even gave us a knowing look when we ordered two bacon baps like, “Yeah. You’re in for it now.” And they were right. Inside, the place was an 80s time capsule. Somewhere between a truck stop, your nan’s living room, and a diner where Pat Butcher would’ve felt completely at home. Think checked curtains, orange tiles, and laminated menus stuck to the walls with the sort of optimism only pre-internet design had. One small, baffling detail: for a place that proudly called itself a milk bar, there were no milkshakes. None. Not even a chalkboard cow doodle saying “coming soon.” We squinted at every menu and fridge like suspicious raccoons, but no dice. Honestly, we respect the commitment to confusion. They did, however, have a gift shop full of local knick-knacks, oatcakes, and the sort of shortbread tins that survive in households for generations. We left with a belly full of bacon and a wooden keyring shaped like a sheep. Final verdict: If you ever find yourself on that stretch of motorway, and you see a cow on a roof — stop. Pull over. Embrace the madness. Forget Michelin stars, this place serves joy in a bap and nostalgia in a mug. It’s the kind of random, delicious chaos that makes road trips worth taking. 11/10. Would get lost just to find it again.”

  “What a find. This is such a popular spot and really does serve the best bacon rolls in the world. Add some curly fries and rocky road and you’re good to continue on your road trip!”
