    Lovely breakfast all cooked fresh , and good quality ingredients, a bit more expensive than most places but makes a nice change from the arches on the seafront .

    An unexpected find. Warmly greeted by friendly professional staff. Lunch menu was full of choice and our food was tasty with good sized portions. Busy weekday lunchtime service but staff still managed a professional friendly service. Exceptional value for money. Will definitely be back maybe for an afternoon tea treat.
