We ordered a fried egg roll, a fried egg sandwich, a bacon sandwich with chips, a sausage and onion sandwich with chips, and some drinks. The fried egg roll and egg sandwich were served promptly, but we had to wait for a long time for the rest of our order. After inquiring multiple times, we finally received the bacon sandwich with chips. However, we had to wait even longer for the sausage sandwich and chips. Our order was not large or complicated, so we found the delay to be unacceptable. Other customers who ordered after us received their complete orders before us. The staff seemed more interested in chatting than serving customers efficiently. I will not be returning to this café in the future, which is disappointing as they used to be more efficient.

Since when did a simple ham and cheese toastie cost like £7? A cafe I once loved that I will not be visiting again! There’s inflation and then there’s out right ridiculous.

Firstly, all prices have increased ridiculously. Over £12 for 3 slices cheese on toast, 2 teas 1 apple pie. Waited 30 mins for the cheese on toast when it was plonked on the table the waitress looked furious when we said we'd asked for crusty, not sliced, bread. No apology. She could be seen having a go at the chap who took the order. He came told us it wasn't our fault, it was his! After another wait we were brought the replacement- smallest slices of bread possible. We will not be returning- shame. Always like to support independent businesses but we'd get better value service from one of the fixed meal chain restaurants. Can accept mistakes but not rip-off prices miserable staff where you're made to feel uncomfortable.

Their apple pie is to die for and they make a mean cheese on toast. They don't have too many people lingering around, so we always manage to find a table despite the place being busy. This speaks volumes about the quality of the café.
