What User doesn't like about Poppins:
the personal is not very welcoming. they ask for something and it seems too much. chips are terrible and cola is flat. the atmosphere is like a funeral. deko is also very gloomy. feels like I was back in 1982 in the wimpy. View all feedback. What User likes about Poppins:
Visited here today for lunch, I'd not been here for years. Totally loved it here, good honest food at good honest prices. Just the same here as when I visited the last time in the 90s. Nice friendly and polite staff, nothing too much trouble....I will be coming back very soon. View all feedback.
