Went there today for my friend's birthday breakfast treat. The table service was excellent. The staff were friendly and attentive but unfortunately the food didn't match. We ordered coffee and we both had the poached eggs and bacon. We also ordered a portion of tomatoes and a portion of mushrooms. The coffees were nice. The food arrived and we both noticed that part of the egg whites weren't cooked and were transparent jelly like. The eggs arrived on two thin slices of sourdough. The butter is on the side of the plate so in order to butter the toast you had to remove the poached eggs which of course broke both eggs.

I left feeling ill. The food is no way expectable for sale and would recommend nobody to...

There were tables in the shade, which were far more suitable, and we asked if we could sit there, because our daughter is pregnant, but the waitress told us no. She was packing up and leaving in one hour. Very, very disappointed and we will never go to the Source ever again.
So we walked 5 mins further to The Boatshed, and we’re now sitting outside in the shade and have ordered from the kitchen with 3 mins to go to closing. Now that service for you. Bad...
