A great cafe with a wide range of items on the menu. The quality of food and service is always very good and is great value for money overall. Highly recommended.

Small cafe in an industrial estate, great menu selection available for sit in or takeout, staff are friendly and the banter is spot on, cash or card, decent prices for decent portions, steak pie was awesome and the honey chilli chicken is always a great choice. Will definitely return for the food and the banter.
