I can't recommend this place highly enough. Everything is cooked fresh to order. There is plenty of menu choice with lots of different specials added regularly. Dave and shvione always go above and beyond with a smile and top banter. What more do you want!

Popped in at closing time and asked if they could knock me up a sandwich, no problem and i left with a cracking ham salad, viewing to return to try one of their specials on the blackboard.

Bright and breezy cafe/takeaway with an extensive blackboard menu including loaded fries, wraps etc. Tried the plated breakfast at £8 with tea at 1.50 - enjoyable, clean plateful with toast or bap. Will return to try something different.

Such a little gem! After our hotel told us last minute breakfast wasn't being served. We went on the hunt. This is more than a Cafe. Had a huge breakfast, cooked to perfection. Worth every penny! Highly recommend!!
