I had a flat white, it was very nice! I also like the staff as they are friendly and nice aswell!

My family and I arrived at this cafe just after 2pm on a Monday. There were no menus apart from one on the wall behind the till, which for a place with two long rooms to sit was rather inconvenient. We were informed that they no longer served breakfast which reduced our options by half. I ordered a club sandwich which came with cold, processed chicken and a ton of mayo. They refused to serve us bacon on toast for our little one although my sandwich contained those ingendients. There was no kids menu. I also ordered a piece of lemon meringue which was truly old. Apart from the friendly staff this was a disappointing experience.

We were here for a beer. I hope it will be open soon. This bar had nice atmosphere, we enjoyed our visit here.

Just what we need to satisfy the ole sweet-tooth. Great service, we were in and out in 10-12 minutes. Great ice cream, the rum raisin was especially good.

27/09/2024 After waiting 10 minutes to firstly Order food, waited for anther 40 minutes and still no food arrived. Was told by staff member it wasn’t them that had taken our order but whoever did, must have forgotten to put order into kitchen. Staff did apologise but in all honesty they didn’t really seem bothered or checked if food was even on its way. We Left and had to go elsewhere which again staff didn’t seem that Bothered about. Very very disappointed as the place had came recommended

Came in for ice creams at the ice cream counter to be served very quickly by the red haired supervisor. Very nice very friendly. However we had to wait in the queue for over 5 minutes with melting ice cream whilst this young petite girl standing at the counter decided not only to take her time taking money she started casually talking to her mate who was in before us while we had ice cream over our hands. Started to get fed up and noticed she stopped talking and then thought she was going to take our money eventually, nope she started talking to a member of staff not knowing who two ice cream sundaes belonged to. I had to pipe up, are you going to take our money here ? And the girl looked so ignorantly at me took my tenner and then slammed the change in my hand. That girl needs a lesson in running a busy ice cream shop where it took seconds to get the ice cream but wait in a queue to pay. This is an issue that I’m sure people will avoid again due to not wanting to buy a melted ice cream. At then end we had to gulp the ice cream down as by the time we got outside to enjoy it half of it was gloop dripping all over the place.

Lovely gluten free cheese and ham toastie with a nice fresh salad and coleslaw. The lady who served me was very friendly and helpful.

This place is amazing. I came here to celebrate my 21st birthday and booked the venue. Incredible service, catering and views of the sea. Could not recommend this place any more.
