  • "So visited this place for the first time. Ordered Indian breakfast & my daughter had full English breakfast. My food arrived with a hair in it."
  • "For tea and cakes, I can understand the prices but for anything cooked, or not, shall I say it ridiculously overpriced? Never again!!!!!"

  • "In a small and cramped seating area with less than average quality of food."
  • "The restaurant could be a bit bigger to accommodate more people."
  • "I visited this cafe over the weekend and it did not disappoint. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. The portions are generous and the food and drinks are very tasty. Not to mention the aesthetics of the cafe are spot on! Not often do you find a place where the food is just as good as the interior. Cannot wait to go back!"
