Had a birthday party in a nearby pottery shop for my youngest boy. He chose here to have something to eat with this friends afterwards. Prices are very reasonable and the quality was very good. Staff made the children very welcome. I had a sausage, bacon and egg roll and was very impressed with this. Large bread roll, runny (not snotty) fried egg, decent bacon and a very flavoursome sausage. Nothing fancy about the decor but who cares when the food is so good. Also made a decent strong tea. Thank you everyone, kids loved it.
