He informed me that I could, but not at that moment as he was busy serving 15 other customers ahead of me. When I jokingly said it wouldn't take him too long, he replied that it would take about 20 minutes and he was in no rush as he was paid by the hour. Shocked by his attitude, my husband and I decided to leave and find another place for coffee where we were welcomed and promptly served. I doubt the café owners would approve of their staff speaking to customers in such a manner. Needless to say, we will not be returning to that café.

The customer could do with some work. But their app needs to be updated to allow full amendments to a dish. Rather than having to go to the bar and at risk of paying extra for service charge, which could have been avoided if app functions properly. On this occasion, I can't eat egg and can't just remove it from my breakfast option. And ended up having to queue for ages to order at the bar. Please save yourself and customers time by updating this.

Despite just ordering coffee, we were grateful when a friendly waitress brought us iced water to cool down on the hot day as we were in our motorcycle gear. After rehydrating, we asked if we could purchase some bread to feed the swans, and the staff generously provided us with some for free. I believe this restaurant is a great spot to relax and enjoy the stunning views of the bay.

Life on the bay, glorious views and the most delightful employee, Huxley with a smile as warm as the sunshine. “I love the music! Thank you. It drew me in.” A perfect combination — passionfruit iced tea, the sea and mellow sounds. I didn’t eat so I can’t comment on the food but the atmosphere was spot on, and the hard edged, grey scale, industrial exterior contained a soft, warm heart. Hugely recommended, but only if Huxley is at the helm. Price per person: £1–10 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

We waited 15 mins for our drinks and was then told there was no lime so offered blackcurrant instead. In the meantime, used the bathroom, used the last of the toilet paper, told the staff and they said they’d run out as waiting for a delivery. Drank out drinks still enjoying the nice weather waiting for our food. We waited.. asks where food was after 40 minutes and was told there was a 45 minute delay on food which I explained we weren’t told on ordering and she said she had only just started on duty and nothing she could do about it, she wasn’t particularly sorry and I wasn’t the only one waiting a long time, there were other disgruntled people. The waitress that did serve us was apologetic and polite and she did look sorry. The food was not fab, sourdough was stale and no butter on the bread it was very dry. It’s a shame as this place is in a nice location. Price per person: £20–30 Food: 2 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 3
