Fantastic greasy spoon and the more so as it is one of few that open on a Sunday. The food is good quality cafe fare. Notably the chips were very fresh. Maureen was an excellent cheerful host who obviously knows everyone in the area.

This has been the same for 26 years - Love it! The food is amazing and they cooked my breakfast as I requested it. The staff are very friendly. Kay is not only the chef but the owner! Love how friendly the staff are. I left no crumbs. You can’t go wrong with a delicious Full English breakfast adapted to how you want it. The best cafe! My favourite pop on a Sunday and sometimes a cheeky morning breakfast before work
