We had to clean a spot for ourselves to sit as tables were piled with dirty dishes and utensils waiting to be cleared. Once seated, one of us stayed while the other went to the counter to order. Despite there being four staff members, including the manager, it was chaotic with one staff member preparing drinks while others piled up more orders. It took over ten minutes to be served, almost prompting us to leave. Finally, our two flat whites, priced at £3.50 each, were ready and well-made. However, the rest of the experience was disorganized. As we left, the tables remained dirty and not cleared.

Located in the Rydon Lane Retail Park, this bright and modern establishment offers both indoor and outdoor seating options. Despite the beautiful sunshine, we opted to dine inside for a cooler experience. Choosing from a well-stocked fridge, we selected a ham coleslaw sandwich priced at £3.50 and a BLT sandwich at £4.95 from the Marks and Spencer range. After picking out our food, we made our way to the counter to order drinks and pay. We ordered two flat whites, priced at £3.35 each. Thanks to accumulated reward points, one of the coffees was complimentary. The staff member, Ellie, who assisted us was friendly and helpful, providing us with plates, cutlery, and even arranging for the free coffee. Both the flavorsome coffee and the tasty, fresh sandwiches were served by friendly and efficient staff in a clean and well-maintained environment. Overall, a great dining experience.

Coffee is good for a service station but I don’t like sitting in. Very helpful staff and always friendly. read more Coffee is good for a service station but I don’t like sitting in. Very helpful staff and always friendly.

A real refreshing uplifting bit of personal interaction after quite a long journey. This young man deserves a lot of praise, I could never have this enthusiasm and friendliness at this time in the morning with a bunch of miserable tired passengers.
