Our group included four adults and one toddler (who had beans on toast). We had streaky bacon pancakes to share and the pancakes were perfectly made. Then we ordered four mains (2x eggs royale with salmon, classic burger and a traditional breakfast). Overall the food was very good and we didn’t wait too long, however I can’t give 5 stars as eggs were not really poached but quite hard inside for anyone who ordered them (and it’s not the first time).

Food was ok, service was average. The waitress we had (older one) didn’t seem very happy to be there which was off putting. Drinks were good. Overall a very mediocre experience and not one I’d be dying to go back to.

Food was good,valve for money.One of the waitress was a little bit brash could have used her manners.Would recommend to others.Beware of service charge, it should be your choice as on bill it's optional.
