Some guests have expressed concerns about peak-hour busyness, particularly on Fridays, where capacity reaches 100%. This can lead to longer waits for seating, especially if you're arriving during lunchtime. While many appreciate the quick service, slight delays can occur during maximum capacity.
Occasionally, diners experience inconsistencies in menu items. While most meals receive rave reviews, a few have mentioned that specific dishes fell short of expectations, which points to the need for strict quality control. Lastly, during peak periods, finding parking can be challenging, prompting the need for planning ahead for major lunch times.

Decided to have a late lunch meat pie and chips and lasagne and chips. Both were generous portions. Served quickly and piping hot. We both agreed the food was really good and reasonably priced. I would highly recommend.

5/5 stars We popped into this cafe for a quick breakfast and had a great experience. The staff were welcoming and prompt. The cafe was clean and tidy, and the food was hot and tasty. Prices were appropriate for what we got. No complaints at all - we'd definitely come back for a swift bite.

I can only really talk about what I had, but the American Pancakes with Maple syrup were great and the Flake Milkshake with whipped cream was very tasty, it felt like I was back in the States.
