Been here 4 times now. Had liver & bacon every time. As it's one of my favourite meals. Comes with cabbage , carrots & broccoli. Really nice plate of food. My friend rates the breakfasts. And all other food I seen before served looks great. Nice cafe and always a place to park if your a van driver as a loading bay directly outside. :)

We went for breakfast here today. The food was fresh, tasty and hot. The staff were friendly too. It is also very clean. It is our second visit here but will definitely visit again.

I eat in here quite often and I find everything very good. Friends of mine have often come with me as they found it very nice and e joyable. The staff are very polite and friendly, helpful in anything you need information with. The food is always tasty and the portions aren’t skimped on at all. There is always plenty of people in there.

I've been coming to this cafe since I was about 5, and in those nearly 21 years of service I have never felt disappointed. The food is nice and the staff are friendly. Unfortunately a couple of years ago I had moved out the area but whenever I'm nearby I endeavour to come in!Keep it up guys and hopefully I'll see you all soon!

Lovely cafe nice staff always welcome but just one thing there’s to many idiots on their phones when you’re trying to eat apart from that
