This has always been a favourite place of mine, its quiet and quaint, so was my first port of call coming out of lock down..! The staff are almost like extended family they are so kind, caring and genuine and always up beat, i cant speak highly enough, they are extremely professional following all Covid specifications, hand sanitisers everywhere and enough space and masks are essential and the friendly welcome back put me at ease straight away. The prices are really reasonable, offering good hearty breakfasts, panni sandwiches and delicious home made cakes all washed down with an assortment of hot and cold drinks.And they even do take away, small events and out side catering ! I”ve photographed the information for takeaway and explanation of their out side catering, however i am not going to spoil you with images of the inside and there on spec food.. thats for you to discover for yourselves! So If you looking for a small friendly quiet family run cafe this is your place!

Great little place. Friendly and unpretentious. Prices are very reasonable. We’ve had the full English every time we’ve visited so far. Really good value (includes a hot drink) and very tasty. Dog friendly, in fact, they love it when we bring the dog in! And they always offer her a sausage which obviously goes down well!

A warm welcoming hug of a cafe! Food is delicious, fresh and homemade. Staff very friendly but discrete, checks you’re ok but don’t keep bothering you. A good place to relax with friends and to eat well. I dine in and takeaway.
