Very decent burger, followed all instructions (extra seasoned with, well cooked, no salads.) However the panini was a bit dry. Perhaps add option to for sauces inside. All in all well rounded and reasonably priced.

Amazing tbh. Have never steered me wrong. Food was well prepared and service with a smile. I wrote this whilst I sit here enjoying the new iced coffee they serve. I will be back tomorrow

I came here with my 2 young daughters to have our lunch yesterday, the staff were very friendly and nice as always. We could all sit comfortably, there was no issue taking a buggy inside. The food was nice and the prices were reasonable. I personally find their portions quite big. I had a set 3 breakfast and thoroughly enjoyed it, it came with a piece of toast and a cup of hot drink. I couldn’t believe they give you a good size of bubble, the cafes I visited would not give a big piece like that! And the bacon! I’m not a fan of bacon but the way they cooked it was very nice and juicy, not dry at all! My girls had a kids meal each and they really enjoyed it. My eldest already wants to go back soon
