Generous portion sizes make every meal satisfying, ensuring diners leave with full stomachs and happy hearts. Many appreciate the value for money offered here, especially when compared to other dining options in the city.
Most Disliked
Some diners might find the casual and no-frills atmosphere a bit too simple; those seeking a more upscale dining experience may not feel at home here.
Occasionally long wait times during peak hours, especially on Fridays at 10 AM, may frustrate a few customers eager for a quick meal.
The menu may seem limited to those in search of more adventurous culinary options, focusing primarily on traditional diner fare without extensive variety.

We drive past here most days and always see how busy it is so finally decided to try. We came on a Saturday morning and it was still busy with customers and local tradespeople. The menu has a huge choice to takeaway and eat in all very reasonably priced. We went for the mega barms with sausage and bacon, as you can see from the pictures they are mega! Bigger than my head in fact. The staff were super friendly and the place was spotless and welcoming. You can pay card too which is a bonus. Absolute gem for breakfast mostly, but the other lunchtime items looked really good.

A proper cafe, coffee at £1.50 not £3 to £4 like some places. A good sized full English for £6.50. Massive selection to choose from the menu board.
