Good Friday, 1pm.... – after 3.5 hours of driving, everyone was hungry, so I decided to take a little detour and find somewhere to eat… and I was pleasantly surprised. A small café in the town centre, with a parking spot nearby. Nice appearance, good prices, and friendly service. Just one cook and a waitress, so if there are more people, you might have to wait a bit – up to 30 minutes. But it’s worth it. The food is tasty and good quality for the price. A lovely little spot. Good coffee, good curry, good English breakfast....

We stopped off from our travels as the reviews sounded great and we were not disappointed. I had the curried vegetable soup which was the best soup i have ever tasted. The cooking is done in full view and you can see how care is taken with every dish. The atmosphere was also very friendly and our nervous greyhound also gives this place five stars.

We visited with my family yesterday. The cafe was so busy but the man serving was friendly and a great chef! He made sure my daughter’s food came out first ahead of ours as she was hungry, we really appreciated this. Our lunch was the best cafe food we’ve had in a long time, yummy cheese sandwich and jacket potato. We can’t wait to visit again during our stay in the area. Thank you for a great lunch.
