A small diner ran by friendly staff. Very good with children and those with disabilities. Food is decently portioned and often hits the spot. Generally just a quaint little café that is always enjoyable.

Incredibly friendly staff and good food at great prices. They'll come to you for your order which is always a bonus in my books. Be sure to order the breakfast and don't worry if you don't like something as they'll substitute it for something else.

Passed this cafe soooooo many times and never gave a second glance. Today I was overcome with sudden hunger and thought wed stop for a tea and maybe a cake. The place was clean and had a lovely homely atmosphere. We decided to order some lunch. I have to say I was really impressed. The young lady who served us was just charming and efficient. So lovely. The meal was tasty and really good value. Service, excellent and so friendly. Will definitely use again and reccomend.

What a hidden gem! Four of us visited on Sunday to have breakfast. Amazing food at very reasonable prices and the staff were organised and so friendly. The portion sizes were good and quality of bacon and sausage excellent, and I'm particular! Tables cleared and cleaned as soon as the staff were available. It was very busy but service still fast and efficient. My friend was very impressed that there was slimming world choices and more than happy with the options. If I was to be very picky I would suggest the stainless steel teapots and jugs could have done with a bit of a clean but other wise excellent and we will definitely be back. So lovely to find good friendly staff
