Decided to try the purple turtle based on the trip advisor reviews and a personal reccomendation. The meals and specials were fantastic, fast friendly service. It was so good we washed up hill 20 mins every night! Great for sports fans too

What can I say? Wouldn't dream of going anywhere else for breakfast, they never let us down. Great food, friendly staff and excellent price. Will be calling for breakfast again when we visit in December!
