We arrived at the lock side 10 min before they were about to shut , the gentlemen there said he would stay open for us to get something to eat and drink. 7 of us ate there and wasn’t made to feel rushed at all. He was very friendly and the food was fantastic , will be going back 100% . Burger is a must ?

I 've been working there for two days. The first day everything was okay but second day, the manager -Gary- had a racism attitude with me. He shouted me, he didn 't let me talk with customer, he said very bad thing about my person like “you don 't deserve that anyone hire you because your English is very bad”, “you are a lier, you have not got experience as waitress ”(Gary, you can 't say me what is my experience, you don 't know me), etc etc etc ... or things like“ This is my restaurant and you just have to do what I say” , I haven’t got time to wait that you can explain in English what you mean , You only are here to work for me .... . Gary, I 'm a person like you, but maybe you don 't know that. Also, he threated me about I never wouldn 't find a new job in England. The situation was shameful. I 've never thought to find someone like him. The situation was really uncomfortable for me because I didn’t think that there are people like that. I just hope that you never need help in other country which has different language- and if you are in a situation like that, I hope you meet people different to you who know help people and be empathic, not like you.

This place is a surprising little jewel! great service by friendly staff, early to early breakfast until late afternoon. contemporary decor with many sittings both inside outside, the latter is equally popular with both dog walkers. I will try to stop here again when I am over, highly recommended!

The dining experience was fantastic—everything was fresh and served hot. It’s easy to see why this place is so popular! I tried the vegan sausage and mushroom sandwich, and it was bursting with flavor and expertly prepared. The staff were friendly and attentive. I’ll definitely be coming back!
