Popped in after dropping my van down the road. This is the best greasy spoon I’ve been to in nearly 10 years, phenomenal breakfast and lovely staff. To call it a greasy spoon is almost a disservice. Slightly disappointed now that it’s not closer to where I live. ...

Purchased my friend a chip butty the other day as well as our tea and hot chocolate, we have never had a problem before, but the chips tasted so grease that she left nearly the whole sandwich. She even tried to mask the taste with vinegar, but even that didn't help. I was so disappointed that we left, saying that we would not return. We have been going since we were 17 and are now both 68. So we have eaten a lot of meals over the years. It's a shame, don't know what happened on that day. We all have one offs. But they cost you customers. Thank you, Mrs, susan Smith.
