We had the pulled pork benny and the baked eggs with chorizo and topped it off with two magics. Great food and service.

The sausage roll tasted different from what I had before. A small restaurant run by a middle aged couple, and everything the atmosphere, service, food, and coffee was excellent. We will definitely come back again.

Home made food Great kind service in cosy quiet Dog friendly ( outdoor seating with dog beds!) What more do we want?! It’s terrific, hidden in the industrial area off Park Rd. He makes a special cake like a tart tartin on occasion; the lemon ricotta is fresh out of the oven; the soups home made and divine.
