Really like this cafe. Amazing 4 egg omelettes, egg butties and full English breakfasts. Also had a chicken kebab there. Delicious with their own recipe chilli sauce.

There are two types of people in this world, those who go to cafes which sell avocado on toast and those who go to cafes like this one which which sell proper wholesome grub. I have recently started going every Saturday morning as a treat and the food hits the spot (especially when you’re nursing a hangover). In addition, the staff are lovely and the food is really good value for money e.g. £6.50 for a drink and 2 bacon and egg sandwiches. What my dad would have said about this place: “son, this cafe does what it says on the tin, it gets you full and doesn’t break the bank.”
