Visited today following the place being recommended to me, first impressions I was impressed, lovely spacious & light, greeted with a smile. We were a party of 3 who ordered ( 2 X fish & chips plus a Caesar salad. Food arrived very quickly & on first impression it looked good, this is unfortunately this is where my positive review ends. The fish wasn't fully cooked, batter soggy, the chips were really hard to bite into (it was like they were the chips from the day before & reheated today), this was the case for both plates.

I went for the brunch — and what a treat. The bacon and sausage were spot on. Let’s be honest, a good sausage or bit of bacon can make or break a fry-up, but no worries here. It tastes like Farmers Parrs only use top-quality meat on their menu, and it really shows. Absolutely gorgeous.
The eggs were cooked just how I like them, the beans weren’t runny, and everything came out piping hot.
This place has officially made it onto my breakfast circuit — it’s head and shoulders above the competition.
One small suggestion: how about a cake counter? If they ever introduced a patisserie, I reckon they’d struggle to cope with the flood of people (especially the ladies!) queuing up to sample the fresh...
