Had a very nice bistro quality lunch here. Good ambiance. Service a little slow and cramped but wasn't too bad.

I've never been in before. But mum said she had been in before and it was nice. When we went in there was no other customers. It was 2pm and we fancied a snack. I got a plain scone, but I had to get 2 as they were miniture, 2 of them would of made a normal sized scone. My eyes widened when my mum went to get the second and the girl said £3. Mum got a German biscuit since her raspberry and white chocolate scone was small. She said it was ok. We noticed that the sandwiches in the cooler were actually starting to curl. There was no toilets and had to use the public toilets next door to the cafe. So 3 mini scones, a German biscuit and 2 teas £17. I'll definitely not be going back here in a hurry.

Visited picnic yesterday for breakfast with family over from Scotland. Knew it had changed hands and it was always a good spot for breakfast and coffee. What a change from the Picnic of old, poor menu choice and very expensive for what it is, very poor atmosphere, just not great. We went for the breakfast bagel which at over £9 didn’t even come with a side salad. Food was good but not enough to warrant the price.
