Worlds most impatient bar tender and unfortunately, I think he’s the bar manager. The atmosphere is lovely here but, he is so rude it’s put me right off ever visiting again. Such a shame because it’s a great place

Wonderful place to get a good quality drink There is a large selection of tap house ales and cider along with some spirits. With sensible prices! The small size of the venue makes it a cosy atmosphere which also welcomes dogs (but not children). There are regular visiting food vendor evenings where you can sample original food whilst supping a quality drink. One of the best places to get a drink.

Firstly the beer was really excellent, but was unfortunately let down on a very quiet shift by the attitude of the team. The service model wasn’t explained at the door, and we assumed due to the lack of attentiveness, that we had to go to the bar to order. When I did so, the server who was standing around, got annoyed with me and told me not to get up next time. Very difficult when the service is so inattentive.

Lovely beer me and the partner love the beers they have on tap nice and cold and clean shiny glasses not like some of the bars around town.

Lots of choice of craft ales or perhaps a cheeky G & T. There is always a superb range of bar snacks available but last Wednesday night Mrs Patel`s street food was available from the rear of the pub. Pay separately and eat it at your seat. Absolutely delicious, fragrant, quite spicy but not blow your head off heat. Impressive and good value for money. Many thanks.

The cafe had a nice atmosphere and pleasant staff. We had the afternoon tea included with an experience. It was a decent amount of food, but a bit of an odd assortment. The sweet items were lovely, with generous jam and cream for the scones. But the savoury options were pretty poor and a bit tasteless (vegetable spring roll, thin sandwiches of processed meat and loads of margarine, a cold cheese pastry).

Wouldn't go here. Totally unwilling to help out non locals or other local businesses. Was passing through and as had never been in the area before I was blindly looking for a breakfast with zero knowledge of where to go. Came across this cafe and popped in hoping to obtain a hot sandwich. It soon became apparent this wasn't an option aften being told abruptly that they stopped serving breakfasts (breakfast times advertised on the windows or door would be nice) . However the worst part was when we politely explained we wasn't local and did they know where we could find said sandwich locally (to what I guess is the owner). He processed to throw his hands out sideways and declare he had no knowledge or ability to help us out and of course another independent local buisness. Turns out he must have known there was a second cafe some 3 or 4 doors away on the opersite side of the High Street. So thankfully Cafe 66 managed to serve me instead. I won't ever try this place again if he is unwilling to push buisness to other cafes once he has stopped serving perticular menu items, especially when I believe it was clear I was not interested in anything else he was now serving. Hopefully he will read this and make appropriate changes to his attitude so others don't have the same experience. Edit (follow up to owners reply). Thank you for confirming all points I made in my review. I am baffled to see you continue your unpleasant nature though. You are correct as stated I wanted a breakfast sandwich and no I didn't want coffee or any of the what I would class as pub food offerings you was now selling. However I fail to remember you even attempting to sell me other options and yes you didn't even suggest I try over the road which was rather unfriendly to other local businesses as I stated in my initial review. You can report my review all you like, but by thinking you are guaranteed to hide my experience due to receiving a 1 star review is no guarantee and in fact you have confirmed I did attend you cafe and thus it is far from a fake or hateful smear. Furthermore all you are doing is showing your unwilling to hear fair opinions. I have gathered from other reviews you have only just taken over this buisness in recent months and thus all I can hope is this is a mistake due to a sharp learning curve for yourself
