Shocking. Sticky tables. Staff either away with the fairies or barely alive. The chairs stained and you could smell them before you even went near them. Cheap condiments. Just totally gross. Felt like I needed to be steam cleaned/jet washed when I left. A very unsanitary place. If you want cheap dirty food, poisoning and bad service you know where to go.

Sad to say that this once hugely popular and great quality cafe has gone tot he dogs. Poor quality food, served cold (despite the fact that there were only 4 other tables occupied) and poor value for money. Five of us ate and two of us went for the big 'Gatehouse Breakfast' - if that was the big one then I'd hate to see the smaller ones. Will not be going there again - poor experience.

Took 35 minutes to get our breakfast. It was cold. Spent extra money to have the butchers sausage instead of normal and we didn't get them. Couldn't be bothered to say anything as we probably would have had to wait another 35 minutes. They didn't have much change at the till so the woman had to go get some. Stood there waiting for 5 minutes. Most people I heard commenting on the time and how long they were waiting.

We had a couple of all-day breakfasts which included everything you could want at a reasonable price and the quality was very good. However, finding a table that had been cleared and cleaned was difficult and we ended up on a small table by the entrance door which kept getting stuck on the doormat in the open position so I had to keep getting up to close it. The service was a little slow and haphazard so it is possible that they were understaffed or had inexperienced people working but we still felt that the serving staff could have been clearing tables in between serving customers. We'll give it another try when we're next over that way.

Came here as part of a large group. We chose to meet up for breakfast here as there was plenty of room for us all and plenty of parking as we were coming from all over the place.Plenty of parking and plenty of seating inside so good bonus.Menu seemed quite varied, but it was apparent early on that staff were in short supply. It appeared only one person was serving, taking orders, doing the tea and coffee and then cooking the breakfasts which led to a long wait.I ordered the Gatehouse breakfast (basically the big one). It came with tea or coffee and toast, except my toast never arrived.The food quality was okay, and it was hot enough but certainly only achieved value for money and nothing more.As a cafe it just about did what it said on the tin. Not enough staff, food quality okay, and attention to detail missing (yes even for a cafe).Could improve, but was not terrible by any stretch of the imagination.

This was my second visit to this cafe, but first review, and it has remained the same since my earlier visit. Excellent free parking, and a nice spacious cafe eating area. It's the counter and the open kitchen/cooking area that lets it down a little. Very old fashioned and scruffy paintwork etc... It really needs to be closed off or just generally updated. Foodwise, I ordered a Truckers Breakfast for £7.25 - not the cheapest I have ever bought but fair play, it was very good. I was asked if I wanted to upgrade the sausage to 'Butcher's Choice', declined but think I got one anyway - and it was excellent, rather than the sort of tasteless thing you get in most cafes or chip shops. The black pudding was thinly sliced, which usually means it gets over cooked, but this was perfect. The portion of tinned tomatoes I had was the largest and warmest I have ever had in such a cafe, and the only let down was the bacon. It was tasty and properly cooked and warm but had the largest amount of fat/rind on it I have seen in a long time. Staff are a bit rough and ready, in that you probably don't want to visit here if you don't like swearing! However, I really enjoyed it. Smarten the counter area and behind up, and get a better bacon supplier and this would be a 5 star cafe. I will be back, if only to listen to the lively banter behind the counter.

I went into the diner the other day for some lunch while I was on my break.I ordered some chips and cheese. The woman who served me was very nice.I handed her my money and she gave me my change, then after this she proceeded to cook my food without washing her hands or wearing gloves. Soon after she put the cheese on my chips by scooping the cheese with her hands. When handling food directly with hands I feel like she should have washed her hands or worn rubber gloves, especially considering I have just handed her my money and we all know money is not very hygienic and we don't know where it has been.I don't know when the last time she washed her hands could have been and it has made me a bit cautious to eat here again.

I don't expect 5 star treatment after all this is a 'transport' cafe and it does very well with a good choice of tasty fast food at a good value. However I won't be going again as I felt uncomfortable and out of place ... obviously the staff play to the male clientele a couple in their sixties just doesn't cut it. Of the two female staff the girl who cook and took our order was polite and and did her job but sad to say the girl who served us at the table seriously needs training or a lesson in good manners!! I was surprised our cooked breakfasts stayed on the plate as she literally threw the plate of food down onto the table such was her contempt at having to serve us 'oldies' and making her break away from the table of four men (the only other customers in the cafe at the time) when all she really wanted was to continue her flirting and chatting to the men. Some one is paying her wages and they should be aware of her abuses both to themselves and to the customers who support that business.

The food was fresh, hot and as ordered and my mug of tea was weak and black as requested. Loved the bubble and squeak. Service was good and friendly and prices were reasonable. Would certainly come again if I was back in the area.

I like this place. There are too few 'Greasy Spoon' cafes offering a decent breakfast. You can get a 'Gatehouse Breakfast' for £8.95. The service is friendly. Music plays. The blackboard menu is on the wall.In an age of healthy eating, Wetherspoon's breakfasts, and thsi type of food being treated like the devil, it would be said if these types of places died out. A good place to have a good English breakfast.Top tip: Tether your laptop to your phone because there's no wi-fi.

Went in this morning for a take away sandwich. After half an hour of waiting and watching everyone get their food after they ordered after me -one bloke ordered a fully cooked meal, got it, ate it and had left! the waitress asked the boss where it was whose reply was "let him (swear word, 4 letters beginning with F, ending in K) wait I am not making the order until I'm ready" oblivious to the fact I was right behind her and heard every word. Although she shouted it so loudly everyone heard it! Felt sorry for the waitress so didn't take further, not her fault after all. If you want to pay for this type of service go ahead. personally I would rather have a simple "sorry for the wait" style of response. Will go to the burger van around in the corner from now on
