The social media profile attracted my attention to this place to drop by before I headed to a wedding. The place is nicely decorated with no pretences and it was spotlessly clean. The waitress was warm and welcoming, which always sets a good tone. I ordered a large breakfast and swapped mushrooms for an additional sausage. My tea was served promptly and while I expected to only get a mug, I received a pot and mug so I got a good three mugs' worth out of it.

Credit to the staff here, passion and great customer service...
