It turned out to be the most expensive cup of coffee that I've ever bought! The parking restrictions are not obvious despite what ce-service say. I was not prompted to enter my registration number into their device by the member of staff who was working that day (in fairness it was busy).

In the past my partner and I had their vegetable sausage rolls, they appeared half cooked and we had upset stomachs afterwards. I really hope they increase their selection soon. It would be good if they make some of their food fresh on site. The atmosphere is great. I really hope I can upgrade my rating to 5 stars in the future. A...
