It looked closed from the outside and we almost turned around but I’m really glad we didn’t. There is tons of seating indoor and outside. Lots of items for food and cakes, the iced coffee was a little sweet but overall great location and servers.

Went for a coffee and banana for the 1st time. Wasn’t aware you couldn’t pay with a card below a certain value. The lady said pay me next time £2.75. Very kind !

A varied and reasonably priced menu. Food portions are a good size and the cooked English breakfast was excellent. The bacon, egg and sausage muffins with cheese are really nice. I pop in for a coffee while walking the dogs and the staff are brilliant.
