Service was amazing, didn't have to wait too long to place our orders and the meals arrived quickly. I ordered the Cheeky Benedict which was great as usual, only problem was that the eggs were just TOO runny almost uncooked and the eggs were very cool. I love my eggs at least warm. But I'll continue to come.

Service was friendly and well timed/efficient. The Vietnamese slaw with chicken required more chicken as the slaw was refreshing but needed more variety.

My big burger was hard and dry, but the salad and chips, etc very nice. Everybody at the table really enjoyed their lunch and they were very generous helpings. We would come again and I would just order something else.

Love this place, the coffee is excellent, the service and food to a high standard and they are very welcoming to my dogs. The only gripe is I would like a few vegan options or veggie ones that can be veganised. Highly recommended as a all-weather venue though.

I was very impressed with the care taken to seat my disabled companion so that she was comfortable, her walker was out of the way, no one was bumping into her, and she didn't have to apologise for taking up too much space .... which is what she is usually forced to do.

We had a team lunch today and we managed to book an outdoor table. Food was great and staff were friendly and helpful. Food was served pretty quickly. Everyone was happy with their food. And we were able to pay separately. Perfect for bringing the team here for lunch. Will come back next time.
