We are regulars here and the food is always great. Service can be hit and miss and today was dreadful! There seemed to be only one waitress on duty and she was as usual unfriendly and uninterested in the customer. We sat down and waited for 15 minutes without any acknowledgement we were even there.

Excellent coffee, too and the most almondy tasting Bakewell empire biscuit. So much better than stopping at the motorway services. Cheaper, better quality, actually relaxing. Take the 5 minute detour and come here of you...
