From the moment I walked in and was shown to my table the service was attentive and prompt. As always the staff are kind, happy and up for a chat. The food is delicious but get in early if you want your favourite from the display cabinet. They go fast.

Fordham Milk Bar Parma night is great. Terrific value, the parma was excellent, with a lovely fresh salad, prompt service. My fellow diners had pizzas which were excellent, and partner had the crispy barra... again excellent, but not the special of the night . Still great value, local casual night out. Highly recommend it.
