Absolutely great breakfast, clean and not swimming in grease. Staff are very hospitable and very efficient. The food is fabulous for the money you cannot fault, the eggs are the best and golden I’ve seen in a cafe. Atmosphere is great as always busy. Thank you, we will be back when working that side of town
