Got asked if we were ready to order 30 seconds after sitting down. I said no give us a chance to look at the menu. Came back after 2 mins to ask again. Had chance to choose a drink in this time so just ordered that. Drinks came from someone else. 20 mins passed and nothing so we had to get up and ask to order. Asked for poached egg instead of fried. Fried egg turned up. Went on the restraunt wifi and was given a free drink voucher. When it was time to pay the guy had never seen this offer and was confused by it. Strange as it came from their own wifi. He took a coffee off the bill which was cheaper than the beer which we had which was eligible. Overall poor customer service.

I have been before but we took a work colleague out. I think the seating or area we say in wasn't all that but the food, ambience and the customer service was really good.

We were greeted with a warm welcome and invited to take a table upstairs. One of us is visually impaired so we asked for a table with good light but initially there wasn't one available, however, as soon as another group left we were accommodated at a table by a large window. We had the bottomless brunch menu. The service was excellent, the waitress topped up our prosecco regularly, and the English breakfasts and pancakes were freshly prepared, nicely presented and filling. Really good value. We were offered coffees after and really enjoyed ourselves. This is a small, narrow venue and the decor could do with a revamp but I guess that's part of the charm. Couldn't fault the staff or food and drink experience.
