Very good cafe, I had breakfast, regular for £6.50 all included! Basic but VGVFM! Listening to other customers it seems everything is customisable to suit your taste? With the sarnies they actually ask if you want salad cream or mayo! Excellent, well worth the visit!

Me and my dad use to come here when I was younger and loved the place, we stared coming back recently and it’s still fantastic. The family that run the place are lovely and the food is excellent. Very clean and tidy in there and is very open. You can also see your food being prepared, which is also really nice. Thanks guys, keep up the hard work!
