Customer Review Summary
Most reviewers come for the whopper all day breakfast, praised for its unbelievable amount of food and described as hot, fresh and well cooked, with tea and toast included in one account. Value is the thread running through nearly every positive review, alongside friendly staff and a family atmosphere that one reviewer says is popular with regulars. A BBQ panini made without fuss and a quick sandwich collection on a work break also earn praise, and one diner says the staff happily swapped out beans and tomatoes. The criticism is sharper but less common. One reviewer found the eggs too crispy from the hot plate and wanted more oil used in frying. Two others were scathing about sandwiches: one describes thick fat on the bacon, stale bread and a blackened piece of lettuce, while another reports a foul smell, a stale breadcake, bacon that tasted rotten and hash browns that all three diners binned. A small layby nearby is mentioned for those calling in, and one reviewer says they will return later for lunch.

“Upon arriving to this shop with 2 workmates i was unsure what we would be greeted with inside as the outside looks rough. Upon opening the door there was a very strange smell with a scruffy old greasy man and woman running the show. We all ordered large bacon tomato and hash browns. Which came to roughly £23 for 3. When served We opened them up and commented on the foul smell from freshly cooked food Breadcake been sat that there since covid-19.......turning to powder and crumbs Bacon - asked to cut fat off but didnt. Also tasted rotten Tomatos - ok Hash browns were by far the worst. These tasted like what i would imagine lard tasted like...... Do yourselfs a favour. Stay away from here in 20 years its in the top 3 of worst sandwhichs Needless to say all 3 went in the bin Absolute rip off. People like these dont deserve customers”

“Wow!! Worse sandwich I’ve ever had! Bacon was just thick fat, stale bread and the bread cake was stale! A piece of lettuce was black! Safe to say I will not be eating her again.”
