Early Sunday morning passing through the area and it’s just classic British perfection. Amazing food, coffee and low prices. Lovely bunch of staff too. Bunch of mod riders were passing through too, clearly a well loved place.

Called in for breakfast and lunch while working in the area. Friendly staff, really generous portions at decent prices. Had a sausage sandwich with huge doorstop size pieces of bread for breakfast and a bacon omelette with hash browns and beans for lunch. Very enjoyable!
