Just enjoyed beautifully cooked sausages (x2) egg and hash brown in a muffin, all quality stuff with a coffee all for £4.50. Great value and very tasty, will definitely pass the word round! Just the ticket on a dismal rainy day, the lady who runs it is lovely!

Popped in here as we live nearby but have never tried. Pleasantly surprised, food is reasonably priced and tasty too. Polite staff at the counter and I can't complain about the speed it came out either! Will definitely return.
