Didn’t realise till after I’d left that I’d been charged £18.40 for cup of tea, latte and two toasted teacakes. I will never return there. Watch your bill! Just received my correct change. Thank you. I accept it was a mistake.

Nearest parking a distance off in side street and only small car-park. You'll be lucky to get a street bay outside, as always very busy road. Small Poppins compared to others. Clean, nicely laid out. Table service, and waiter arrives quite promptly on sitting down to take orders. Very reasonable prices, typical British and US meals, like the old Wimpy days. Pleasant staff. Food quality very good, fairly decent sized portions for the prices they charge. Can get busy inside.

£4.50 for a takeaway latte... please - take your business elsewhere, at least I didn't get a meal there otherwise I would have to remortgage the house to pay the bill

Ordered a full English breakfast, sausages tasteless and bacon far to salty… then to top it off we had ANTS floating in our drinks… complained to be told the ants come into the machine for the sugar… so not only do they know about it they are still serving Pepsi drinks.. utterly disgusting and will never eat there again.. I wonder if they have ANTS, where else are they..

A very good friend of mine that is homeless went in for a cup of tea. He was refused a free refill, ok fine, but he was then charged £3.50 for hot water to add to his teapot. And was then told by the person working there that he was once homeless but still had to pay for his tea. Surely if you’ve been there you’d understand and have some compassion??

Food was ok, everything looked clean but whatever you do don’t order individual items as we ordered what could have been large breakfast by swapping a few items. 3 eggs, 3 bacon, 3 hash browns, beans and coffee x2 =£39 needless to say won’t be going back and at least 15 local people I know have said they will not go there now because of this. Shame as it’s not a bad place

I attended this place. To be dished up burnt stale eggs, my black pudding was tortured. So burnt it was just crumbling into my plate. My sausages was rock solid. Had a hard time putting a knife through them. When I expressed my concerns with the staff. They was gormless and ignorant. Not willing to help or resolve the issue so had to stand up and leave. This place has no respect. Has gone completely down hill and lost there respect for customers. Defiantly do not recommend attended this cafe. It will ruin your day out.

We have been going to this cafe for about 3 years now and although the food is not amazing as a cafe goes its always been OK. But our last visit was dreadful. This place is not Covid-19 aware. The customers were not expected to wear masks when wondering round the shop and the two waitresses wore them every now and then, one of the Waitresses wore hers mainly wore hers on her arm!! i noticed that the tables were being cleaned with washing up liquid and not antibac spray. Our table had food debris on it so was not cleaned properly at all. The manager/owner had a mask which he wore on his chin and then decided to eat chips for his lunch and used his hands ten proceeded to go behind the cookline without washing his hands!!! This is my opinion under normal circumstances is not acceptable so in these trying times it is even more important that hygiene standards should be extremely important. It is a shame as its quite a nice place and the staff are usually quite friendly. I feel strongly about this as this cafe has a lot of elderly customers and the things we witnessed could seriously endanger peoples health.

Still one of my favourite budget cafes in the area. Now featuring a new counter assistant who has a smile that can banish a rain storm, and large square wooden plates on which larger meals are served. These are classy, and the presentation matches. Food is still great value, as at all Poppins franchises (same brand, but the owners source their own ingredients). Word is they are scheduled for redecorating shortly, which I guess will mean a short period of closure. But we await developments!

Honestamente 10 / 10. 2 4 1 hamburguesas un martes es más barato que lo que se puede conseguir en cucharas y es 10 veces la calidad. Realmente recomendaría! 🙂
