Food very good, service very good, but too crowded and too loud for my friend and myself. We could not hear each other speak, having said that we are in our mid seventies.

Food was great, loved that they had a specials menu to add more options. Car park opposite is small and hasn't had a spot when I've been there. However, there is another car park not too far away with three hour parking.

Very busy local gem. Booked to ensure a table inside. Service was okay, very keen for us to order immediately after sitting down. Pancakes not quite what we thought, were okay but more like a cake texture than pancake.

Disappointing as communication was an issue. As some of the meals were large we asked for a box after we had eaten, so food could be ‘taken away’ to eat later. Unfortunately we discovered 15 minutes afterwards when the waitress didn’t return, she thought that meant for her to take away the food from the table and throw in the rubbish which is what she had done
