Consistently good friendly service, in very nice surroundings. Very attentive staff, even when busy, and the Passion Cake…nomtastic!

My wife and I were disappointed with yesterday’s visit to this restaurant. Service was friendly and reasonably quick, but the chicken fillet in my burger was almost cold, which was bad enough, however the amount of lettuce stalks rather thank leaves, in my wife’s Caesar Salad was incredible (see picture!). This is cost cutting at the expense of customer satisfaction.

My fault for going on a Friday evening, but it was very busy and the guy on duty said it would take up to 45 minutes for food. We took a seat anyway and ordered. Starter arrived fairly quickly and the rest of the courses followed along nicely. We were on our dessert 66 minutes after sitting down - not too shabby.

All in, friendly service, lovely food, especially my wife’s starter! Very noisy though, but a nice family crowd.

We’ve been going here for years. The quality of the food and the general fit-out of the place has improved recently.

From today’s visit, I can heartily recommend the cod and chips!

Service was friendly and for Easter Sunday, it wasn’t too busy. Lots of parking too.

Called in yesterday for a quick coffee and was very impressed. I’ve passed here many times and not been tempted but with some time to kill…

I had one of the nicest Americano coffees I have in ages. Attentive and responsive staff, lovely ambience and comfortable seat, along with lots of space - I’ll be back.

I called in here last Sunday and had the duck noodles. I was the only customer and got lots of attention from the staff. Lovely set up, but a but a pricey for what I had.

I met a friend here for lunch yesterday. It was my first time and I was impressed with the location, decor and food on offer.

I hadn’t heard of a “Boxty” before - it’s a sort of pancake made from potato. Mine was the lunchtime special with boiled ham and turkey, with cranberry sauce and a small gravy boat of gravy. Very nice too.

My friend had a Belfast Bap. She was very pleased with it and feeling fairly full, we decided to share the Stewed Rhubarb Pavlova for dessert and ordered one with two spoons. Two arrived and when I mentioned this to the waiter, he said he would only charge us for one. Of course, we ate both (freakin’ awesome), and offered to pay again, but he refused - big tip for him!

Overall, a very positive first visit.

I enjoyed my first visit today. Nicely designed and bright and airy for a small unit. Friendly staff member explained how everything worked and the food was hot and fresh, and arrived quickly. Felt it was a little expensive for what it was and the music was a little raucous but I’ll be back.

We were really pleasantly surprised with both the quality of the food and the warmth of the welcome. The place wasn’t very busy but the food was freshly cooked and the service was the best I’ve experienced in some year.

Will definitely be back.

Called in this morning for a quick coffee and a chat with my dad. Two black coffees were £3.50 - seems a little OTT. However, the overall appearance is grubby to put it politely. The glass frontage of the cafe was so filthy, my father thought it had closed down. As I walked in, the glass door stuck on the built-up grime on the floor and there was a plastic produce tray lying outside the front door.

The staff are always very pleasant, but they need some leadership and standards - disappointing!

Popped in here for the first time and was pleasantly surprised at the home-made chips and the very friendly smiley service. Lovely burger with pepper sauce and the chips, along with a still water for £9.95.
