It’s so nice to go out for breakfast and have such an eclectic menu to choose from - such interesting and tasty savoury and sweet options on offer 😋😋😋

The food is made with love and care and it’s very obvious that the ingredients used by the fantastic chefs are all of a very high quality

The front of house staff don’t let the back of house staff down at all - Niall and his team are very welcoming

We had the sweetcorn fritters with chorizo salsa and a fried egg and the roasted tomatoes ,avocado cream , red pepper paste and pine nuts - both dishes were no more than a tenner each .

We have eaten here in the evening and have always had amazing food - they have a good deli too with some fantastic French wines and cheeses to choose from - they do excellent hampers as well as other French produce which make excellent gifts too.

I can’t recommend this place enough - even the coffee is very good and the Bloody Marys...

Effectively it was the most expensive fish and chips I've ever had and certainly not one of the best!! The whole experience was well below par. We...
