Fantastic cafe, food excellent quality and brilliant portion sizes. Very good value for money. Staff very friendly and helpful. Will definitely be back soon. Highly recommend it. We had 1 fry which was excellent and not greasy, 1 soup of the day (carrot and coriander) and salad sandwich, soup was lovely and sandwich was perfect on lovely fresh bread, and 1 kids sausage, chips and beans again excellent quality and great portion size for a kids meal. Place spotlessly clean and hand sanitizer on wall as you enter

Great food and really friendly staff. The menu meant the most difficult part of my visit was deciding what to eat. Order by phone no waiting in and out in a flash, when you only get 1/2 hrs for lunch every minute counts. Cheers Sean and team
