What Reviewaplenty doesn't like about Booths:
Having shopped here many times on our visit to the area, we decided to give the café a go for breakfast. Very mediocre at best. Nothing to shout about. Wouldn't be high on the list to return. View all feedback. What HughMc likes about Booths:
Visited here for lunch and was pleased to see the covid-19 arrangements in place with social distancing, track and trace and staff wearing visors. After waiting to be shown to table on a 1 out 1 in process I went up to socially distance queue.... View all feedback.
