Called in by chance as was hungry. The couple who run the place are really nice and friendly and made me feel really welcome, the cafe is very clean and comfortable. I had a cooked breakfast with pot of tea. The cooked breakfast was excellent, well cooked and tasty. Had good conversation with owners and regulars and a great visit over all. Will definitely be back. Prices of food were very reasonable indeed. Many thanks.
