Awsome spot for any sandwich 🥪 Free parking and there not shy on the toppings. Thx again I will be back 👍🏻 Keep it up . Give them a Try.

Delicious cakes. Staff are always very friendly and helpful when I've visited with my two young boys.

We have been coming here for years, they do a very nice tasty donner kebab and the chips are always good. Never had a complaints.

There is nothing to love about this restaurant. The food is amazing, the staff and owner are the best. I wouldn’t eat Indian food anywhere else. We travel an hour to Oakham because the cuisine and atmosphere is so good.

We went today and had lunch. It’s a beautiful location, overlooking the canal. The ladies in the cafe are really friendly and the food was great and the service was quick. We will definitely be back soon!

Have been visiting this lovely cafe for over a year now as it soon became our staple. The food is always delicious and the welcome from Nicky and Kirsty always very warm. The menu selection is spot on with nothing being too much trouble. Coffee is brilliant too. Thank you ladies - 10/10 across the board :)

Really good food, coffee and service. We went in mid-morning for coffee, and was so impressed we went back for lunch. The Archie burger was very good (and a big size). Will go again

Affordable, fast and friendly service. I would recommend the chicken biriyani with the masala fries and a mango lassi.

Wasn’t even open when it was supposed to…

I live locally and when I last visited for a meal the food was excellent. Sadly however the Royal Oak pub is now closed and is being offered for sale. The good news is that it is under offer, so if a sale is agreed we may see it reopen, fingers crossed😀

Place is permanently closed and up for auction

Great little gem of a place, off the beaten track in the church yet accessible from WFC and the corridor above the buses

Visited this amazing place this evening, food was so good best pizza I have had for a long time . Staff was so welcoming and friendly serves was very good . Definitely be going back . Great atmosphere

Under new management - Excellent food, value for money, spotlessly clean, friendly staff. Will definitely return - highly recommended.
