Customer Review Summary
Breakfast is what reviewers return to, with the Full English drawing the most praise: one diner calls the bacon and sausages divine, the baked beans piping hot and the hash browns dry and crisp, while another simply calls it lush. Close behind are the smashed avocado with poached eggs on toast and the small breakfasts, with a latte, a mango smoothie and herbal tea from a diner who noticed the teapigs brand also getting mentions. Several describe the place as clean, one pointing to the gleaming cups and cutlery and matching crockery, and others mention friendly, family-run service and good value for breakfast. The one dissenting review concerns a takeaway toasted cheese sandwich, described as having flavourless, barely melted cheese on thin bread, which that reviewer felt was poor value alongside two coffees. That reviewer had not eaten in. One diner mentions an afternoon tea for two, and another stopped in for breakfast while waiting on a car's MOT.
