We used to come to tea on the cobbles regularly, every few weekends, for breakfast whilst our daughter was at her dance class. We absolutely loved visiting and recommended to all our friends. Unfortunately, since they started hiring new staff it's really gone downhill. We had a bad experience a few months ago in which most of the food was overdone and cold which put us off.
