Had breakfast it was amazing ?

My son and I had a breakfast here and there were more baked beans and enough saute potato for 4 people on the one plate, the sausages were cheap and mushy, the telephone was in middle of eating area, and the staff just shouted at top of there voices to each other..for example..MUM CAN I GO AND HAVE A FAG...Not enough room to sit and eat as the seat are fixed to close to the table..I will not be visiting that place again..

Really poor customer service, made me wait for 10 mins while the check out lady was chatting to another customer. Brought a bowl of chips which I thought was £2.75 on the menu but charged £3.50 instead!?! Should update Ur price menu. Very over priced. Obviously times are hard at the moment with prices going up I brought my own drink from another shop thinking I have already brought a bowl of chips I will have my drink with it. The lady was rude and told me I wasn't allowed to drink a can of energy drink in the cafe? Made me feel like I was in primary school. Place feels stale. The radio is really annoying, should have some better taste of music for the background or place it somewhere where's it's not banging into my ear.

The staff are rude and obnoxious when it comes to wanting to swap items on the menu, even before walking away from the till the lovely chef they have complained about me and my partner. Even the salt, pepper and sauces are rationed out for one sachet per person?it’s comical really, they managed to overcharge me too (only by a few pound but i think they need it more than i do) This place is a rip off anyway, I’m not sure what the family dynamic is here but it’s a very miserable one, and it’s nice seeing one of the employees stand in front of the shop to have a ‘well deserved’ cigarette break to then come in and not wash his hands, he looks like he needs his hardrive checking, very weird place and i don’t think i’ll ever be returning

Whatever the family dynamic, it is a very strange one. Unpleasant attitude, disgusting food, cheap tasting but costs a fortune. Every time i’ve visited this establishment ive been greeted with what feels like passive aggression? that’s not all, i’ve seen the abnormal chef stand outside and smoke a cig, every time without fail and it’s comical to see others posting on here sharing the same experience. It really doesn’t scream cleanliness, does it? but i’m not convinced that’s the image they’re going for anyway, it seems there’s probably a combined amount of very low IQ bouncing around the employees, i would 100% recommend AVOIDING

Staff looked like they didn’t want to be there, grumpy waitress and grumpy man on till, who didn’t wash his hands after a cigarette. It’s quite hard to get a sausage sandwich wrong but somehow they managed - soggy bread, wet plate, undercooked sausages. Overpriced for what it is. Won’t be returning, a bit of love and enthusiasm from the staff would help!!!

Food is okay, staff acted really strange here. Openly cussing and shouting while in service.

Visited with my son today. £18 for two traditional breakfast (smallest fry up with one of each thing and two hash browns), with extra fried bread, a mug of tea and a child’s Pepsi. I assume they charge for the condiments as well. Well over priced and poorly cooked with the cheapest ingredients. The joke most definitely was on me. What I had hoped would be a nice experience was one where I didn’t eat most of my breakfast. Neither did my son and I left feeling sick. The sausages have so much gristle and fat content I couldn’t eat it after the first bite. The bacon barely cooked and yet the fried bread was drenched. Cheap beans, cheap hash browns and thin white toast. I would have saved myself £18 and cooked a better breakfast every day of the week.

Whilst ordering it was clear this was a mother/daughter operation. Whilst the jokes between them were awful, I had reasonable expectations for the breakfast, after all, the cafe is situated in a large premises in the centre of the town. What followed was terrible, £12 for a ‘mega’ breakfast and a small cup of tea. 2 poorly cooked eggs, 2 almost raw slices of thin bacon, 1 deep fried sausage(around 2p worth) 2 hash browns, beans, 2 wafer thin slices of toast, and 2 slices of fried bread, if I’d paid £6, I would’ve given it 3 stars. Just shows that it’s worth spending a few minutes reading Tripadvisor reviews before entering somewhere, as this place is as bad as the reviews.

Disgusting food and disgusting attitude from staff. Hair in the breakfast. Burger cold and raw. Bun stale and fell apart. Staff arguemntative and aggressive when we tried to address this. Unfortunately had to give one star.
