Stopped by today for lunch. The food was gorgeous and the staff Gail, Steve & Donna are lovely! The home made cakes and treats are out of this world, unfortunately I ate it before I had chance to take a picture! X

Delicious freshly cooked food and the staff are super friendly. Also the cakes!!! The daily specials are always excellent and lots to choose from if you fancy something different. The chips are freshly prepared best chip shop grade chips, and the selection of freshly baked cakes and deserts are out of this world. Without doubt the best lunchtime cafe I've ever been to :)

I called in here for my lunch, as I was driving past and saw it. I was pleasantly surprised, lovely bacon butty. The cakes are like slabs and so good, I highly recommend. The staff are friendly. The venue is clean. The price is reasonable. I will use it again.
