Description

Recent visits to this local eatery reveal a blend of experiences. While some customers appreciate the friendly service, fresh food preparation, and reasonable prices, others report a decline in quality, particularly concerning the food. Dishes like the meatballs and pasta disappointed, lacking the expected flavors and warmth. Breakfast options offer decent value, though service can be inconsistent and at times unfriendly. While the ambiance and decor receive praise, concerns about excessive plastic use for kids’ meals were raised. Overall, the restaurant offers charm and potential but has room for improvement in food quality and service consistency.

The breakfast at this restaurant was delightful with great presentation, good service, and a well-coordinated team. The surroundings were clean and fresh, with comfortable seating and reasonable prices. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff. Well done!

This is the first time I’ve visited in many years despite being a maidstone resident. I’ve never been in with kids and read mixed reviews. I came in whilst school shopping with my two kids and was pleasantly surprised. Good range of choice for both kids box lunches and adult food, friendly, helpful staff and reasonable prices. Clean too. My only grumble is the amount of plastic used fresh fruit for the kids packs (apples, pears etc) do not need to be packed in a plastic pack! Please stop!!

Visit for breakfast while staying in the area ,full English costs about £6 so reasonable value ,coffee a bit on the weak side but otherwise ok .Seems to have some regular clients judging by when we were there .Would not make special visit but was satisfactory on the day
