We Thoroughly enjoyed our delicious lunch. The service was with a smile and friendly. The poached eggs (with grated Parmesan) and tomato relish on sourdough was yummy! The dirty chai was most enjoyable, with honey on the side -:). Definitely we'll return .. thank you!

We went here for my Mothers 70th Birthday. We were running late for our booking and called and explained and they were so understanding. When we got there they were so polite, and so welcoming. To do with my mums birthday they said they can do a piece of cake and sing her a happy birthday, I just need to let them know when. We orded the french toast and the bubble waffles and both were delicious and such huge serves, so absolutely worth the price, which I must say are very reasonable. So if you have not being to this little hidden gem, that I admit may be a little difficult to find if you dont know it is there. Go and have a wonderful meal.
