Lovely place to grab a lunch or snack from. You would not think so from the outside but inside is comfy and warm. Friendly staff and great all day breakfast. They do eat in and take away options and lots of deals for a good price. Taking our order was a little slow today but we could see the staff where busy cleaning up, maybe after lunch time rush, and the other very minor issue was the comfy looking leather chairs are very low compared to the table height so if your short pick a different table :)

Don't be fooled by the facade (looks like at office!), the service is cheerful and the tea & breakfast good

It's the sort of place you will pass loads of times without realising it's there. But to start,on arrival the first thing you notice is good parking,into the main door next thing that hits you it's nice and clean and spacious,order at the counter and greeted by friendly staff,you have a choice of seating area from table to sofas. Now for the food rather unexpected as to the amount as i thought a reasonable amount for me would do until lunchtime as we went for breakfast but when it arrived at the table it was what I call clean (not greasy or discoloured) it lasted me through to my evening meal. So all in all quality food at good prices and nice and clean. PS w/c area nice and clean and it looked like a disabled loo as well
