Award winners too! Xx
Afternoon fish and chips beautiful. Having scones later
A warm greeting for our arrival for us and our dog. The 2 young men serving knew their stuff and obviously worked well together. Quiet music with a little dancing from one (I’m not sure he knew he was having a little jig; just enjoying the music). The service had had a quiet quality throughout, nothing over the top.
Dog friendly, plenty of dog guests nicely spread through the cafe, in case of any crossed barking (there wasn’t), this showed experience of running a dog friendly cafe.
The menu is understated, a simple list, nothing over the top. We both ordered sandwiches, I switched mine to a toastie. A half portion of chips was a good size, crispy on the outside and soft inside. Good quality food, the included coleslaw was lovely. £18 for 2 sandwiches, 1/2 chips and 2 teas.
Other tables hot plate food looked good and plentiful. Compliments to the chef.
