These guys were phenomenal for our wedding reception, great service the whole night and made special allowances for our gluten and dairy free guests. Amazing buffet and drinks on offer. Great breakfast with really quick and friendly service. Well priced and it was apparent the ingredients were kocaly sourced and or home made, proper sausages, home made hash browns and beautiful thick cut bacon.

Great experience! We went here for some lunch and were very impressed with the menu and the prices. We ordered some coffees and the chicken gyros and were very impressed. It was a little like a fajita but either way, the taste was delicious and the portion size was amazing. I cannot name a fault honestly and I will be going back to try more of their menu!

Went for breakfast and had a salad. We had a little trip out to to check it out. Unfortunately there was a road closure on our route, which made us just too late for breakfast. So lunch it is then. It was a very warm day and we sat outside on their terrace seating. The choices are various sandwiches with different breads or jacket potatoes,soup or quiche. As tempting as they were,we chose off the Specials menu. Thai Salmon Salad £11.95 Chicken & Bacon Salad £11.95 They were prepared fresh and very healthy looking plates. What could we have to rectify not having a fry up? They had just introduced a Strawberries & Cream brioche sandwich £4. Wonder where that idea came from? It was full of fresh whipped cream and strawberries. You can also have it with a Pimm's & Lemonade for £7.95 and visualize you are at Wimbledon. But we are driving so had coffee with ours. The staff are lovely and friendly at this independent family run cafe. On Fridays & Saturdays they turn into a bar and bistro. We shall have to return either earlier for breakfast or later to try the bistro menu.
