Customer Review Summary
Full English breakfasts with perfectly poached eggs draw repeat praise, often paired with generous pots of tea included in the price. Close behind, the afternoon tea comes up often, with scones served alongside jam and clotted cream, and the traditional decor and old fashioned staff uniforms get frequent mention. Several also note the views from upstairs, fair prices, and clean surroundings including the toilets. One diner enjoyed the soup and sandwich but says the soup arrived with mixed frozen veg rather than blended as they had been told it would be. Separately, one reviewer describes the owner as aggressive and rude and reports being shocked by the response received to their review. Most who return call it their new regular spot, with one describing a Thursday breakfast tradition and another popping through the serving hatch to thank the chef directly.

“Nice enough cafe for a bit of lunch, I got the soup and sandwich which was filling. The soup and sandwich tasted nice, but I asked before ordering if the soup was blended and was told it was, when it came out it had mixed frozen veg in not blended which I didn't enjoy.”

“Absolutely the best place to come and treat you and your family to something to eat morning or afternoon. Portions are massive, good produce used, decent prices, attention to detail, pretty views as is upstairs, worth the climb up.”
