Food was great. Service was great. Very willing to assist with extra needs of wheelchair. Actually happy to answer, different questions regarding the menu and ordering. On an extremely busy day when staff were under pressure as a customer you still received great service.

We were outside, beautiful! Enjoyed the lemon slice best. A man seated very close was very noisy speaking on the phone for ages. Perhaps have a sign…please move away to take phone calls.

Table was ready (but not requested table), order promptly taken, serving time not excessive, took while to catch waiter attention for coffee order after, noisy surrounds hence preference for table in quieter 20 - 24 niche

Friendly and clean. Food was great as usual. Music could have been a little softer but that could just be me getting old! Perfect place for a small group get together. So so good to be able to pay separately too!!

We couldn't find a car park and drove round and round looking fir one. Was booked for 12.30but arrived at 12.45. We were told we were late and all he had was a table on Blackburn rd..was very noisy and hot . Food was good but after 2 hrs we went inside for a coffee but the air-conditioning was not working

Thought the person greeting people at the door could have been dressed a bit more smartly. The cap should go!! Due to bad weather we were allocated a table inside quite quickly. Food is always good at this cafe. Will return.

Had Brunch yesterday with five people They had travelled from Brighton and thought the atmosphere outside near the trees was lovely which included a couple whose daughter had died the day before. I quietly mentioned this to the waiter and he was extremely sensitive to my friends I then stayed on and met two more people who had lunch. They were as equality delighted. i then sy
