    We had a great meal. The corn fritters were superb. My friend could not finish her BLT because of its large size. But the service was just as good. Prompt and friendly staff who made us feel we were welcome. Will definitely be going back.

    First time I visited today and if I did not love so far away, it would fast be my local. The service was quick and friendly, the ambience was homely and so comfortable, loved the recycled and mismatched tables and chairs. I had the chia Bircher and I can honestly say it is one of the best things I have ever eaten period! It was fresh, tasty, creamy, textural and simple delicious. I cannot speak highly enough of it, I am not usually a chia lover however I was craving fresh and this breakfast exceeded my expectations. Definitely worth a visit, step out of Sorrento, Rosebid etc and head to Somers, you will not be disappointed, just be sure to book.

    Lovely staff & amazing food. I had the blueberry hotcakes which was delicious and a very generous serving, another had the BLT which she loved & the others had fish & chips & left nothing on the plate. Definitely going back to try more dishes.

    Such a nice place, but given that l booked my family's table a week in advance quite annoyed that our table was not ready for us when we arrived. We were told that l would get a text message when it was ready never received one my husband had to go and follow it up.😞
