I stopped by for a quick snack before my bus. The owner serving was extremely considerate and knowledgable of train and bus times. I’ve worked in hospitality for around 10 years and this small business was genuinely one of best costumer service experiences I’ve received. The owner is super friendly, chatty and clearly puts a lot of love and passion into their family business. The egg toastie was very delicious! Thankyou, I’ll be recommending :)

The most kind and helpful staff you'll meet. Good selection of drinks and snacks, too! I was having car trouble and the lady behind the counter was so sweet and we had a good chat which made me feel much better!

Lovely place for breakfast. The owner was very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. I had a full English breakfast, despite it not being on the menu; the cafe can get busy at times, so full breakfast is only available when the owner has time. The place was quiet when I visited and the food was great. I sat in the seat that Jenny Agutter had sat in when she visited! There is a sign and a framed, signed photo marking the spot. Books available in the little library section. What a nice old-fashioned, typically English cafe. Many thanks for making me so welcome.

Caroline is the friendly cafe owner who is helpful, kind, and considerate. Great bacon or sausage sandwich. Good selection of teas and instant coffee. (Many types of instant coffee available) 2024 The cafe has had a nice new bright and light refurbishment. Payment is either cash or card.
