Best cream tea I’ve had in a long while! Home made scones, Cornish clotted cream, Cornish strawberry conserve and a great cup of tea. Thank you!

My husband and I came here for breakfast the other day while it was raining, and we had an absolutely fabulous experience. I ordered a breakfast that arrived quickly and tasted delicious—so good, in fact, that my husband finished off my plate! Compliments to the chef! The server was warm, friendly, and easy to chat with. The prices were very reasonable, and the atmosphere was lovely. We’ll definitely be coming back soon!

Nice little cafe in a quiet area, seemed like mostly locals eating here which was a good sign! Service was friendly and the fry ups are tasty, you can tell that they use good quality produce - sausages and bacon were great. Reasonably priced for the quality of food. Only complaint is that the table was a bit sticky so could’ve done with a wipe down but everything else was top notch.

The food was fantastic! Compliments to the chef! (5 stars to him!) I think a bit more effort cleaning the carpets would of been good, especially as there was fresh snail-trail just inside the doorway as well! But like I've said, we would definitely return! Nigel and Claire

Popped in here on Friday morning for breakfast. What a find! Had the full English and have to say it is one of the best I have had, and I have tried quite a few. The produce was top notch, and a special mention to the sausages, which were definitely not the catering variety. The large plate was less than £10 and excellent value for money. The premises were clean and bright and the staff pleasant and helpful. I will definitely be coming back.
