I really love this place - big fan. Couldn’t find a better place to have an English breakfast yet in the whole UK. Billy and the girls do a fantastic big English breakfast for a quite modest price; and good coffee as well. The quality of the food is unbelievable. The atmosphere is very home-like, cozy and with good music in the background. Ideal place to spend your morning. Definitely worth a visit - won’t regret.

This is for sure place to eat best english breakfast around this area. Clean, cozy atmosphere, freshly made food with quality ingredients. It was recommended to me by nearby hotel staff and they were absolutely right. I recommend this to everyone!

We ate here 3 days in a row while on vacay. Our only regret is we didnt find it sooner! The breakfast was outstanding, and the owner/operator was very kind and attentive. If you want a true English Breakfast, this is the place!

Ideal café and breakfast place. The options are really good, affordable and generous. Food is fresh - I recommend the big full breakfast. Excellent freshly made milkshakes too. Good service and relaxed ambience. Perfect for the weekend and to go with family or friends. It is cash-only.

A silver greasy spoon.
Good food, civil staff and an interesting water closet arrangement.
The menu covers most bases for lunch and breakfast, and the portions and presentations are good.
The staff are absolutely unflinching in their politeness and distance. I think if you killed your dog in their establishment, lids would remain unbatted and no judgement passed.
If you are caught short, the toilet is out the restaurant, turn left and left again and down a side street past an expensive looking car, the reward for the owners efforts!

Food is generous, and good value. Some of the dishes are very English breakfast style but others are fresh and healthy so good variety. Coffee is good. Front of house was focused and efficient but loosened up when we chatted.

Excellent breakfast!! We discovered it recently with my boyfriend and we can’t stop going. It’s the best in the area and price is very reasonable.
Try the smashed avocado toast and add extra bacon!! Delicious!!

Slightly expensive but very nice food in a pleasant environment. Only complaint would be it was late October and so hot inside! Would have sat outside but tables are only 2 seaters. No veggie sausages. There was a veggie breakfast, but I had the baked potato instead.
