The location is amazing with great views, excellent parking, warm inside (winter time), clean, friendly staff and good menu for all including vegetarians and vegans. I have visited here twice in the past month. On my first occasion I had a breakfast - excellent, was very nice and great value. On my second visit, went with my vegetarian friend he had a panini which come with chips and side salad which he enjoyed. I had the spicy burger and chips. Unfortunately I didn’t like the burger it didn’t present as a good quality beef burger and a bit dry. However, I would 100% return for their breakfast, great location, friendly staff and nice coffee. Well worth a try.

Food took over an hour to arrive. Orders arriving not in order of when requested. No Cawl, waited 30 mins to be told after ordering a different soup that they didn’t have that either. Ordered a burger in (first world problem alert) “desperation” and it was average, with a stale bun. Asked for a water straight away as totally parched and it came 30 mins later with the coffee. Yes they warned there was going to be a wait but this was ridiculous. I will say that the staff appeared to be doing their best, however I have to say that on this occasion the overall offering just wasn’t good enough.

Got there after a mtb session and was informed it would be a 30 minute wait for food. So, cycled back up to the mtb trails had a few goes on pump track before sorting car out and driving back which took me about 30 minutes. Once I was there I waited a whole extra 30 minutes before going up to ask if there was any issues. (Waiting on the chips). Got my meal another 10 minutes later a whole 70 minutes after order. The whole time we were there the place was maximum one third full. One of the girls in our group asked for a glass of water while she waited on the food. This took 40 minutes!! The only reason this is a 2 star review and not a one star review is because the food was just about passable and that really is the best I can say about it. So much about the place leaves so much to be desired fortunately!

Out for a bimble on the bikes on a beautiful October day and chose to stop at this popular looking cafe. We placed our order and sat outside and waited, and waited, and waited.......it seemed an age. My miners lunch and partners teacake eventually joined us but a further wait for coffees. The coffee was ok . Teacake was fine but already thinly buttered. Miners lunch was missing the promised pork pie and came with some dried up thick sliced bread (instead of the chunky bread advertised) and a pile of those cheap little white pickled onions. The bread was already buttered and the butter was full of black bits.......the girl that served us thought that was normal for butter. When I commented on the meal, I was told the pork pie didn't look good enough to serve (fair comment) and that they had given me more ham and cheese instead. It wasn't what I ordered. I rejected the meal and received a refund. It would have been polite and sensible to have told us of the wait and the change to products on the plate. It's a shame as it's a nice venue on the side of a busy road and has more than adequate parking, unfortunately we won't stop there again.

Stopped here on journey only place around. The food was good but disappointed they don’t do an all day breakfast. Need to ensure cutlery napkins are enough for the tables and toilet rolls in the toilets

After having to clear a table myself and waiting nearly half an hour for food I actually laugh when they brought some of it out. The large cod and chips is a packaged box piece of fish which are 4 for £3. And at £13 just not worth the price. I had the miners lunch which they had substituted a pork pie for more ham (which was full of gristle) The tortillas were stale the cheese were pre packed slices and the chunky bread was a cheap thick slice of white bread. You can’t ask for salad without onion (which I do not like). My sons dragon burger was a little better but and extra £3 for a bit of chilli chutney again extortionate, his girlfriend panini was the only thing that was ok but again £9 you would expect it to be. An expensive lesson to learn. I would have complained there and then but my family were too embarrassed. Stick to sandwiches and chips. You should be ok.

We visited this place on our way to stay at yurtopia down the road.We had panini's which came with chips and home made coleslaw. Hot and delicious . Staff were very friendly. The sun was out so we sat outside which was really nice. They have free WiFi and toilets which are clean and sufficient.We came back the next day (Tuesday)for coffee and cake only to discover they were closed. We were quite gutted as it was so nice the day before. They close Tuesday and Wednesdays.

I was looking forward to stopping here for breakfast on our way to new quay as we had done on previous visits however I was gutted to find they had stopped serving breakfast at 11.30 as opposed to the usual all day. Ruined my holiday

Great roadside cafe, on the A44, wonderful service, superb locally roasted coffee and a fab bacon cranberry and Stilton panini.
