If you want a great breakfast or lunch for a good price and absolutely fantastic service then this is the place to go. Myself and my partner have been coming here for quite a while and the food is on point for a cafe and the service is ridiculously good!!

I came here with my boyfriend to have lunch (specifically fish and chips) and it was really lovely. The staff was really friendly and nice and the place inside was really cozy. The fish and chips were really good, usually I'm not a fan of how oily some places can make the fish but they did it really nicely here. It tasted fresh and the chips were really delicious. We got full really quickly ! ! It was paired with quarter a lemon and peas with shredded lettuce which wasn't too bad. The lemon did taste good with the fish, as well as with the tartar sauce that was given. We also got a banana boat (I wish I had some photos of this, but it was really cute) we shared one together. It had strawberry sauce drizzled on top, 2 scoops of icecream on each end with fan wafers on top as well as whipped cream on the sides. There was some kind of fruit other than banana inside which also tasted really good, but I'm not sure what it might've been (It tasted like either pineapple or peach) There's a lot of tasty-looking desserts on the menu, and generally there's a ton of options. It's a really nice place to go eat. The fish and chips was somewhere around ~£8 and we had one fish and chips plate each. The banana boat was around £5. (In total it amounted to somewhere around £21-£23) Which is affordable for a couple, what we got and the quality of it all. We were both completely full. It was a lovely lunch, thank you!

I went here today for lunch. Walking in I was greeted by smartly dressed waiters who were attentive. I ordered a cup of tea and cod and chips and the food arrived quickly. It was tasty and hot and very enjoyable. The salad was lovely and fresh. I would definitely like to come back here and have perhaps an omelette and salad. The menus are extensive with photos of the dishes. Thank you an enjoyable lunch!
