My partner and I stopped here for lunch with our 2 year old son today. My partner joined the queue to place our order while I took our little boy to find a seat as we had been on our feet all morning and he was getting tired, hungry and a little grumpy. A woman stopped us with a shout across the cafe and told us we were not able to take a seat until we had been served at the counter. I explained that my partner was waiting in the queue to place our order while we selected a table. This was not sufficient to allow us a seat however. The red haired waitress who repeatedly called me darling while carrying on a public argument with me was determined that my tired little boy be denied a seat while we waited for lunch. I thought this was an unusual way to treat customers but when we were eventually allowed to sit down, I overheard the same woman subject two other customers to similar treatment so I assume this is standard procedure in this cafe. We will not be back.

This little cafe is often overlooked in any reviews for the area , but is one of our most favs, we mostly do breakfast but they have a great menu , but as for the breakfast you won't find better value anywhere in the area , full breaky toast and coffee for under a fiver and all from local butchers, so quality is very good , I just drink black coffee so not sure about anything else coffee wise .

Situated inside xs stock, this cafe serves tasty food but is very overpriced. It is always busy and ques can get quite long but they have a good variety to choose from but i think it is expensive for what you get.

Our visit to the Paddle Steamer was let down by extremely rude staff (Kara & Matt) and poor handling of an accessibility issue. We were seated near an access point that had no signage indicating it was restricted. When staff member - Matt - approached us and curtly asked us (and my disabled mother) to move, we explained that we were more than willing to cooperate if access was genuinely needed. Despite our clear willingness to assist, Matt insisted we move “in the next two minutes” without further discussion. We also overheard a staff member - Kara - make an inappropriate comment via radio, which was very disappointing. This experience clearly demonstrated the need for improved signage, friendlier communication, and better staff training around accessibility.
