• "The staff member unprompted said on delivering the coffees said he 'went as fast as his arms and legs could carry him'!"

Food and Drink Quality

Cons:

• "However my Americano was quite disappointing in comparison. Too hot and tasting bitter."
• "The one minus was Shakshouka I ordered came without eggs which I had to pay £3.00 extra."
• "Not for me. Had the Orchard breakfast. Bacon was smoked, pretty sure the beans were also smoked or had a weird flavour."
• "Poached egg was cold, hash brown greasy."
• "But, the place is full of families with small (screaming) children."
• "If you want a decent fry up, go to Grounded just down the road."
