This is a perfect cafe for a lunch! I had the English breakfast and my daughter hade the burger with chips. The grandchildren had the chicken bites with chips and beans which came with a drink… great value and the chicken bites were real chicken breast with a lovely crisp coating and great flavour. The portion sizes were good and service was very friendly. Go there you won’t be disappointed! We also had the donuts at the takeaway there they were crisp and golden and the cheapest in the town! Would definitely recommend this cafe
