Popped in for a breakfast with a friend recently, absolutely delicious. We both had the Eggs Royale, very tasty and hot. Lovely atmosphere and ambience. Would definitely recommend and will return.

Visited today, fantastic little place, has the majority of cafe business in the village as no other cafe except village centre which isn’t open weekends. It has a lovely seating area at the front and inside, and a courtyard area to the back where dogs are allowed. Service whilst friendly was not the best, both our coffee order and food order took sometime to arrive, but have to say that when they did it was very tasty. Either needs a person in charge of ordering etc as not enough staff /ordering system. The front we so sat outside in the court yard at the back, where a little tlc would make a huge difference to the experience. Chairs were a tad tatty no seat pads/cushions so low. Tables had seen better days too. Weeds in the planters, also a dirty ashtray left in planter. Won’t take much to bring it back to its full potential. Hopefully this is a work in progress and will be rectified to offer its customers a more ambient surrounding.

We arrived mid afternoon on a very hot day and being cyclists were very hot. The staff were extremely accommodating suggesting we leave our bicycles around the back for safety. They met all our needs food and drink wise and replaced the drinks in our drinks bottle with ice cold water and ice cubes. Nothing was too much trouble for them. We will definitely go back there.

Ignore the negative reviews, there are some strange people around. I went in for lunch today, and it was quite busy. Always a good sign. I ordered the Bacon and Cheeseburger with chips and salad, and the portion was really generous. The burger was plump and juicy, and the chips were lovely and crisp. I could not fault the staff who were helpful, pleasant and chatty. I will definitely be going back there.
