First time in with a friend who has been many times before. A bit austere when you walk in, but a solid, simple menu well prepared and presented is enough for me to consider coming back soon. Reminded me a little of the old Wimpy bars back in the day. Staff very helpful and polite. Clean, if a little lacking in character. Top marks for food. My friend had a generous full English breakfast, I had a half pounder and chips.- Service

Great find. Wonderful, friendly, and welcoming staff. They took my order and brought my mocha to the table where I set up to work on my laptop. Access to a plug point and WiFi helped me get on with my work day. Great alternative to the likes of Costa and Starbucks. And the toilet was pristinely clean, so much so that I took the video. 👇🏼

The service is friendly and good. The menu is safe basics, mostly grilled not fried. Quality plate of dinner/breakfasts etc and good value for money. The eating area is spacious and light. They do close early on 'slow' days. I feel relaxed and at home here. ❤️ I'm on a well known Slimming Club eating plan and they were happy to accommodate my swaps and the side salad was huge! I ordered chicken burger but with mash(should have had a jacket really) instead of bun. The burger was coated in crunchy crumbs which I didn't expect but was grilled not fried.Very clean environment. Very friendly staff nothing is too trouble for them. All day breakfast is brilliant. The portion size is just right it was really filling. £1.80 for a can is a bit steeeep on price I'd say more £1 or 0.80
Really nice food 😋 the staff are lovely and the all day breakfast is too die for mmmmm

Me and my mum love it here. The food is great and the service us too. Very reasonably priced and never feel rushed. Its clean, well decorated and tidy.
One of my all time favourite proper cafs. Great comfort food especially cheese & ham omelette. Good latte. Owners very friendly and welcoming. NO background music what a relief so I can read, make lists and organise myself in peace. Just the buzz of conversation. Wonderful place.
