Description

The once-beloved restaurant has experienced a notable decline in both quality and service, disappointing longtime patrons. While the food retains its deliciousness, frequent order errors and inconsistent preparations detract from the experience. Issues like unclean premises, greasy meals, and poorly executed dishes plague visits, leaving diners frustrated and unsatisfied. Some patrons still find optimism in the tasty fries and reasonable prices, but for many, the restaurant’s charm has faded. With a mix of heartfelt nostalgia and recent disappointments, visitors are left hoping for a revival of the quality and attention they once cherished.

Ordered 2 all day breakfasts. You'd expect grease on a fry up but these were swimming in it. Not sure how they managed it but the bacon rashers were both crispy and undercooked. £15 for the 2 plates and now both of us feel ill because of them.

We usually love this cafe but it was horrendous this time, took a ridiculous amount of time to actually get served and receive food . Both mine and my daughters food was ok but my husband and sons dinners were disgusting. My husband didn’t eat his as his fish was like rubber and batter rock hard, looked and tasted like it’d been reheated a few times, chips also bone dry and rock hard. My son usually loves fish and chips but he left all his fish . Really disappointed.
