Had a quick bite while doing some Christmas shopping and errands in Town. Only a table of 3 was available so I was warned I might be asked to move if a smaller table came free, which it did and I didn't mind moving at all, but I was asked to move before the table had even been cleared and it wasn't wiped with a cloth, only the waitress' bare hand to brush off the crumbs! Didn't exactly inspire confidence in their hygiene policy... Had a Cheese & Mushroom Omelette and the Cheese was all down one end but it was otherwise nice and the Chips were lovely and hot. Good sized portions. A bit more expensive than other cafes in the area serving similar food and having 3 prices for different sized teas seems a bit tight (I know boiling a kettle costs more these days but still just one teabag!!), but they're obviously aiming at a more restaurant market, as it appeared to be fully licensed.

Read moreAbsolutely gorgeous place with fantastic food, service and atmosphere! It really ticks all boxes. The cheesy garlic bread starter was delicious, could happily eat multiple helpings of that and be quite happy 🤣 the steak on a hot rock was a really unique experience and was so delicious! No cold steak halfway through eating and you can "cook" your steak to your liking - genius! Highly recommend the ribeye! My brother had the t-bone and loved it too though it was HUGE (around 700g or 1.5lb) so felt overly full after! It was absolutely delicious! Blue cheese sauce, chips and salad and everything was lovely too! And the 2 for £13 cocktails (cosmopolitan and espresso martini) were...
