Great food in a cafe run by people with a heart of gold!
I have been "The People's Choice Cafe" before: it serves traditional English cafe meals (full English breakfast, mixed grill, omelette, sandwiches) as well as other food, like wraps, panini, and lamb kofte. The food is always very tasty, quickly prepared and served by the very polite staff. And the prices are very reasonable.
But today I also found that the people running the cafe have a heart of true gold. There was an old lady sitting at a table and she appeared rather poor and frail.

The vulnerable adults in her care had started eating their snacks outside and he came out and asked them all to move away off the property. People’s Choice is a misnomer. With such an unfriendly attitude and poor customer service one is better off trying the other local cafes that have much nicer staff. I...
