Ok, I give places mainly 5 stars, this is because I generally only review the best or worst. If I’m being accurate it would be 4.5 stars, not because it’s not great, just that I have occasionally been in slightly better places (which cost twice as much-more later!)but there is no way this could only have a 4 star rating as it’s better than that. So I went with 5 stars….explanation over on with the review. This used to be a very average place to eat, in its previous incarnations. This has changed first as you walk in you notice how clean it it, with good COVID procedures in place that are thorough but still welcoming. You are quickly seated by the attentive and friendly staff, given a menu and time to choose. As soon as you are ready, quick eye contact and service is there. The staff have a bright friendly approach and deliver the food as required, we had dessert delivered with our main as asked for, with coffee first, all spot on. Now the food, this is hot, fresh, well cooked and flavoursome. Staff keep and eye on you but leave you to eat in peace, which is a refreshing change. The prices are fair, and for the quality of food feels a reasonable exchange. As we were there when others left I was able to observe the enhanced cleaning after each person left, which was reassuring. Also the toilets were incredibly clean. This is a good roadside place to eat, I journey past every couple of weeks, and this is my new go to place for good, well cooked well presented honest food in a clean setting.

Been here a few times now. Every time the food is consistently brilliant, flavoursome and excellent service. This should not be considered a café, it is far superior than any bog standard café. Eggs benedict for myself and Scrambled eggs with bacon & mushrooms for my wife was far better than any restaurants we've visited before. To drive past without visiting is doing yourself out of a food experience worthy of your taste buds. I am very lucky this is on my local route to York.
