Food and service absolutely amazing. Go there weekly with Mum. The road has been bumpy for 30 years so nothing anyone can do about it. So anyone moaning drive slower. All staff work hard and we love going. Sausages are decent as well! Not the cheap ones. Prices are very reasonable and they have a gluten free option.

Good if you just want a basic full english,nothing lavish at all,your sat in a village hall with canteen style seating. Doesnt look great on the plate as its just plonked on but its good value and the mega doorstep toast is like a meal on its own. Its also a bit off the beaten track and a terrible pot hole road to get down to it.

Great place for a nice full English brekkie. (Also a great hangover cure). The service is simple and the food is quick. Just watch out for the pot holes down the drive!

Great place for breakfast! Food is lovely, scenery is beautiful, always plenty of space and good parking. Cracking little find before work. Only thing I would add is they desperately need a radio or a TV. As someone who gets there early, it has all the atmosphere of a funeral parlour. Quite eery sitting in absolute silence.
