The meal first come out with no hollandaise sauce, in which we had to ask. The ham was freezing on a warmish muffin and Luke warm egg. I ordered the 8 piece breakfast. I had luke warm bacon, had to ask for the hash browns. Considering we was the first customers I find it hard to understand how there were so many mistakes and the food wasn’t piping hot. Also, there was no check back on our food. My girlfriend didn’t eat any of the ham and left most of the rest, however the waitress didn’t seem to care about that. Surely if most of the food was untouched there might have been an issue. I went up to the counter to pay and still no question if the food or anything was ok but happy to take my money anyway! I usually always leave a tip having worked in restaurants for 10+ years, but on this occasion I just didn’t feel like it was justified.

After rescheduling for the following week and being unable to make a reservation, the restaurant agreed to hold a table for us at 11am. Despite this arrangement, we still had to wait in line for 15-20 minutes upon arrival. The "build your own breakfast" option included sausage, bacon, egg, mushrooms, tomatoes, beans, and toast for about £10. Although slightly disappointed by the meal's resemblance to a Wetherspoons breakfast, it was still enjoyable.

The salad was also not fresh. Overall, I would not return to this restaurant.

While the portions may not be large, they are sufficient and of excellent quality.

Everything was cooked to perfection and really tasty. Would strongly recommend you come here for breakfast! Of note, they only take cash (which is a shame in this day and age!
