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

Seemed a little understaffed - took around 15 minutes before water and the offer of drinks was made. Not the staff fault as only one person on for the entire outdoor area and he did a great job, when time allowed.
