Customer Review Summary
Breakfast draws the most praise, with reviewers describing a large breakfast that comes with toast in portions they could not finish, and bacon, sausage and egg sandwiches called the best and cheapest in the area. Close behind are the friendly, polite staff and a family feel where regulars seem to know each other, plus homemade milkshakes one diner calls perfect. The complaints are just as specific. Several describe sausages that were chewy, tasted cooked the night before, or arrived stone cold in a takeaway sandwich. Others report homemade chips nearly black, a sausage baguette with two sausages on a dry roll with no butter or sauce, tinned mushrooms, and black pudding advertised but missing. One takeaway tea arrived with hardly any milk and no sugar. One parent reports a young child sitting on kitchen preparation tables and touching food, a freezing cafe, and swearing behind the counter. Another reviewer says a large order placed with no notice came out quickly and everything was bang on.

“The best breakfast I've had in a long time. I went with the large, not realising it came with toast too. Very generous portions for the price and couldn't manage it all. Friendly staff. Nice atmosphere and I'd definitely recommend this cafe. Great food cooked perfectly. Loved it. 🙂”
