Servers forgot we were there, I had to go añd ask them to take our order, the food was nearly cold also served on cold plates, the server plonked two dirty, sticky plastic bottles on the table, we were supposed to have maple syrup but were served maple syrup flavoured golden syrup, the bottles hadn't been wiped so goodness knows who had manhandled them before...YUK! The place was actually cold and it was January. All in all it was a BIG NO from us. Coffee was okay

Busy Saturday afternoon, stopped for a quick lunch. Nice girl served me at the counter. Ordered sausage roll which came with 2 mixed salads. Pot of tea for 2. Sausage was quite large but looked great. Served at table. Salad had no dressing and there was none available when I went to get some. Salad a bit bland, however it was fresh and wholesome. The sausage roll was quite dense and strong tasting. Had 2 bites. Low grade meat. Tea was lovely. Should’ve ordered a toastie. My fault. I will return but will order what everyone else is having.
