My first visit here since mother&daughter have taken over and can truly say walking is was like a breath of fresh air. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming. Plus the food is amazing!

Excellent breakfast at a good price. All ingredients were great quality, from seasoned sausages, thick bacon and what seems like farmhouse bread. The large breakfast comes with a hot or cold drink for just £8.50. I can't fault it. I came in for food whilst catching up with emails. Power sockets are available and the staff are more than happy to help. Will be coming back again soon!
