Dreadful cheese ploughman’s completely tasteless, items dumped on the plate, missing coleslaw and an egg that seemed to have been hard boiled for a week. Breakfast wrap looked like it had been dropped and quickly redone. Never again!

This cafe use to be very good, but today we found it has really become poor. Sausages we found very cheap plus we ordered 2 poached eggs and only one came out we then had to wait while the plate was taken away to have the other egg put onto the breakfast, the breakfast was now cold 🥶. The bubble was very waterery and had no flavour the fried egg was over cooked so no runny yolk. The lady serving in the blue hair net had the customer service of 0% maybe get the old chef back and sort out your customer service

Long wait, second time been here now, you seem to have to make a day of it just to go cafe, the food took 1h16m to come out the first time, but thought try again maybe they were very busy but again a very long wait. Not worth the wait unless you have nothing else to do. Foods not great very greasy but the sausages are nice. They seem to prioritise deliveries over seat in customers.

We have just ordered a family breakfast from here to he delivered, the omelette from here were awful and like they were deep fried. We chucked them away and didn't bother. Wouldn't recommend to anyone. Too much grease. When we rang and said, the lady on the phone was rather rude.

Came here late morning Sunday 8th May 22, waited over an hour for a breakfast to be served, No apology/ explanation or offer of a cup of tea on the house to make up for the delay. Whilst waiting we had the interesting experience of listening to various members of staff arguing with customers and generally being abusive. Obviously lacking any customer service skills, food very average & tables and menus need a good clean. If staff spent more time helping out in the kitchen rather than popping out for a fag customers may get their orders when expected. Would definitely not recommend at all.

Went in here on a Sunday for a quick breakfast. One hour later still waiting- no apology. Lots of people complaining and staff were just totally abusive to customers. Poached egg finally came and cooked solid. Cook came out with the food and made no effort to apologise. Do not come here unless you want a very long wait, not that great food and rude staff.

The place was almost empty but there was a half hour wait for food . I should have realised things were bad when three customers took back there Sunday roasts because they were “dreadful “ . They received a refund . The food we got was badly cooked and the burgers were greasy and partly raw very indifferent staff I would avoid in the future

Went for breakfast, really nice, sausages to die for. Could have been hotter. Inside has been refurbished but old fashioned vinyl table cloths which were dirty (take them off and put place mats) will definitely visit again, just a few issues but overall really nice

Came here as searched for cafe’s in the area & this was close to my way home, arrived 8.15am, first impression was it was very clean, which post pandemic is a rarity. Served quickly at the counter & breakfast came within 10 minutes, all in all a decent quality breakfast, nice thick toast & cooked well, minor gripe was beans could have been hotter & bubble was mainly mash & only lightly fried (prefer more green veg mixed & fried more for colour & texture) but that’s what I’m used to so personal preference. Will definitely come again next week when in the area but go for hash browns instead of the bubble. Would definitely recommend for a good quality decent priced breakfast & most importantly spotlessly clean cafe.

We were visiting the area and was recommended the cafe by a local. Just needed lunch. I ordered an egg mayo sandwich, my husband ordered a cheese and pickle, plus two coffees. My sandwich was delicious, freshly cooked egg and mayo on lovely fresh bread. Same for my husbands sandwich, plus a real cup of coffee, (not the stuff you get in the coffee shops) 👍

For the price you pay it is not worth the money. I ordered the breakfast wrap with a colleague of mine and we was both very disappointed to say the least and it was a bad start to the day. The wrap itself was cheap and the scrambled egg was grey with no flavour, the sausage was as dry as the sahara desert, the bacon was non existent, only 1 hashbrown and the thing that made the wrap edible was the flavour from the cheese. As for the milkshake I do not even want to go there. A long story short, it is just a cheap nesquick powder with milk. Overall I would not purchase from this place again.

The cafe was not too busy in a Saturday morning between Christmas and New Year for six of us. Once we had negotiated the breakfast menu - number 1,2 or 3 with various additional options available we ordered at the counter. Very reasonable pricing with tea and coffee included. The food was of a very good standard. Good quality sausages and bacon and the bread/toast was nice and thick, not supermarket sliced. All in all a hearty breakfast and just the job on a cold winter’s morning.

The venue was freezing, I was wearing the jacket I plan to wear on my trip next week in a Iceland and had to sip it up to the top to stay even slightly warm.The server at the counter was surly and very shouty in the kitchen area, I really didn’t, at the other end of the venue, need to hear her conversation.The food was ok, egg slightly over cooked and the sausage wasn’t that nice. Mushrooms were delicious bacon ok coffee tasteless and not that hot.Sadly most likely my last visit

Steve and I have been to this cafe before for a light lunch and were impressed by the service and food provided by a small cafe. So we decided to treat our family to a traditional Christmas dinner. The table was booked for 5 Christmas meals and 1 vegetarian. We were greeted by the friendly staff who made sure that our visit to the cafe was enjoyable. The Christmas meal was very tasty, good portions and cooked to a high standard. For dessert you could have either Christmas pudding with custard/ice cream or Black forest gateau. Tea and soft drinks were available as the cafe does not have a license.

Big portions and great value for money. Staff were as always very friendly and accommodating. They offered table service for my big group of friends to order our food and beverages. Bus route down Pound Lane is poor at one bus per hour but from the top of Pound Lane coming off the 22 or 28 bus, it will only take 10-12 minutes to walk down Pound Lane to the Café. I thoroughly enjoyed my birthday luncheon and the managers even gave me my entire order for just me on the house. They really made me feel special on my birthday and I would not have celebrated it anywhere else. Very warm and friendly atmosphere and suitable for families with children. By Mary-Anne R
