A nice cafe with comfy seats, good food and service. I purchased set breakfast no.4, two rashers of bacon, two hash browns, scrambled egg, baked beans and two slices of thick toast. Instead of a tea or coffee which comes as part of the deal I bought a bottle of coca cola, unfortunately I was charged full price for the drink rather than a reduced price in lieu of not having a tea or coffee, hence why I am only scoring this cafe 4 stars. In all this came to £11.20. The food was nicely cooked and served promptly. The cafe seats approx 65 people indoors and also has customer toilets that were in good condition.

Took the Mrs here for a breakfast today,she had a coconut milk late with her breakfast and was impressed that she got the remaining milk that was left over for her drink I can honestly say that the eggs was cooked just how I liked,runny inside,sausages tasted premium and bacon seared and cooked great.Toast was nice too,thick slices,I even told the staff it was one of the best breakfasts I have had in a long time. We did pop in in the summer to try there milkshake and that's nice too If I could give ten stars I would Thank you

I’m the kebab dude in the Burberry shorts :) I told them I’d leave a review as my meal was phenomenal, the chicken kebab is to die for, you guys should put a big sign outside advertising it! You could go viral over a meal like that!
