Well I'm sorry to be disagreeable! but you can only speak as you find. When my missus and I visited this place we didn't want to sit next to a gang of women of a certain age making an almighty racket. Yet another encounter with the Geriatric Mafia who seem to manifest in all coffee houses these days! So we sat in the back room which wiffed a bit of mould and damp.

The scrambled egg on toast was a good portion and very tasty. Tuna melt toastie was excellent too. The small let-down were the scones; both fruit and cheese were very dry, but they did provide plenty of clotted cream or butter.
