Decided to go for breakfast as my husband, being disabled, had recently had an accident resulting in injury and hospitalisation and he needed a change of scenery. . It was a great idea and a lovely treat which he thoroughly enjoyed. Full English Breakfast was hot, tasty and plentiful and would thoroughly recommend Thank you for taking care of us - so appreciated. We will return.

Popped in for for a quick bite to eat and was not disappointed. The sandwich and panini were lovely and the presentation was superb, we had coffee and a soft drink to pair. The service was brilliant and the staff so friendly. Very reasonable prices too. Delicious cakes on show at the counter and we decided on a piece of peach melba cake to bring home. 10/10
