Cons:

Cons:

Cons:

  • "The atmosphere was like a club during the day with music bellowing making it hard to have a conversation with someone else on the table without raising your voice."
  • "Once inside the noise levels can become uncomfortable."
  • "What are people queuing for, it's certainly not to get out of the cold it was freezing inside, everyone was still wearing a coat."
  • "We were seated just inside the door and with the system they use with customer's queuing outside the door is constantly being used it was a October day therefore you got a blast of cold air every few minutes."

  • "The coffee was a disappointment as was the service."
  • "Food is good quality and the cake is always delicious however very sickly."
  • "This isn't a cheap place to eat, but it is good value."
  • "Coffee tasted like the beans were burnt, cake was ok (overpriced and not what you'd expect from somewhere like this)."
  • "The bubble and squeak, which is a bit bland."
