I like coming here mainly to watch the car park carnage from above it's funny watching idiots driving up the wrong way only to confront someone trying to leave the right way then arms start flapping. I normally have a big breakfast which overall is OK for the price but I always get guts ache after. I'm sure they scrape left over food onto your plate but who knows. I have always found the staff polite but also as other people have noted sometimes they don't have everything. I like that it's normally quiet there too maybe again it has something to do with the quality of the food.

Service on the till was pleasant, friendly and polite.
No oat milk again.
Wrong size drinks server and over priced.
Breakfast is good value.
Bacon is paper thin.
Sausages were black.
Nice freshly cooked, eggs on my plate, like rubber on my better Half's.
Hash browns not crispy, almost stale, rubbery.
One mushroom, hardly cooked, kind of warmed up.
No tomato on menu, although when there was they were always under cooked.
Aside from reasonable price, it would take so little to make it great. Poor management I suspect.

Quite clean cafe. Open early for breakfast on Sunday. Staff were polite and friendly. We chose the cooked breakfast, my mother did not want beans so chose the cooked mushroom. The photo is of three of the cooked sausages. The fourth between the two breakfasts was just about cooked enough to eat. These other three were barely cooked. The mushroom had also not been cooked properly and was barely warm. We have met there several times and the food has been good but they failed this time. It was too busy to complain at the time and my mother did not want to cause a scene.
Down graded to a 1 star due to their lack of service and help from their customer service department.

Cheaper than the high street brands, but just as good. There's something for all occasions ranging from light snacks and coffee and cake to a Full English. Regularly changing specials as well. Recommended an early afternoon visit to avoid the rush!

Food is good value although they are often running out of things e.g. mushrooms despite being based in a supermarket! Drinks are expensive. Tall older dark-haired woman who was "plating up" on Sunday 4th August 2024 was extremely rude when bacon quantity was questioned. Left a sour taste to say the least.
