Really? Nice staff, straightforward breakfast. Very surprised that I had a burger. Included in the breakfast special mind you, it was 15 pounds. Although there were cheaper options on the menu. But I went for the big boys breakfast as I do like my food but never had a burger on my plate before. A full english breakfast. Tasty good to be fair? Good luck find in parking around here. But you can fill your boots quite easy for a tenner

I was at nearby Patcham school and fancied breakfast. The nearest cafe (honey cafe) didn’t open until 10(?!) so I walked here. I am really pleased I did. Warm welcome by staff (appears a family business). Great coffee and breakfast. Massive portion and reasonably priced. If I am ever passing I’ll definitely return. Well worth a visit.

Really good value for money, great size portions and not swimming in grease. Good coffee too. Only minor niggle would be the quality of the sausages, I personally prefer ones with a higher meat content. Will be back soon!
