Absolutely love this place. Service is always above and brand, we would not go anywhere else. I also love the fact that they cater for my naughty spoilt bulldog.qq

Our go-to spot for breakfast and lunch. The prices are almost unreasonably cheap and the food is still really good. There is loads to choose from and the service is still very quick. The staff is very nice as well.

What a find! Hidden away in an industrial estate but clearly very popular with the local work forces, seating for about 20, parking for a few cars. Great choice and great food, lovely staff and very reasonable prices. Large breakfast with coffee and toast £7, I'll be going back.

Lovely little cafe, nothing is too much trouble for them. Very friendly little place. Gets very busy with the workers so you need to be in before 12pm.

It is recommended to arrive early to avoid the dinnertime rush. The food is delicious and fresh, and the prices are reasonable and in line with what is expected for the location. The establishment is consistently clean, tidy, and well-maintained. However, it is important to note that wait times can sometimes be lengthy, particularly during peak hours.
