This was our first visit here since lockdown, we usually go regularly but our wait this time was 30 mins as there was a huge que and limited staff on.
The food was good but they had no rolls left and only option is to sit outside, as inside is still closed. Prices are very reasonable and portions are a good size. Definitely worth a visit!

Just did the cook school @ home thai night and it was really amazing. All the ingredients were sent to our house the day before with recipes and instructions. Stuart the chef was amazing. So much banter and really engaging. I did it on my own and felt completely at ease and all the other participants were lovely. The food was AMAZING! I’m cooking the curry for friends this weekend as we loved it so much. Highly recommend this and would do it again. Worth every penny. 5 stars cook school. X

I was not able to get the eat out to help out discount as I didn’t want to sit outside in the rain. I asked if I could sit inside and was advised no. They should not be offering this if they can’t provide indoor seating, instead the indoor tables are covered with boxes of pasta etc for sale. Very poor service!

Hi Fiona,
Sorry due to the current pandemic and the fact we are a food wholesalers for the hospitality industry we have made the decision not to open our indoor seating area. We want help the reduce the risk on the premises.
We have been using the tables as displays for pasta, eggs etc as this is something that has been in demand recently within our local community.
Hopefully when things go back to some sort or normality we will reopen as sit in. It is unfortunate that not every day the ‘eat out’ scheme is a dry day.
We are trying our best during these challenging times.

We turned up today at 14.10 to purchase some macaroni for a family get together tonight in Clarkson. I thought 3pm was closing time and could've cried when I realised it was already closed . Go to serving window and the chef went above and beyond to help me out . I regularly visit the cafe and always get great customer service , ☆☆☆☆☆ to all staff in cafe today , thanks 😊

We visited the cafe here one morning. It was nice and quiet. I ordered a bacon roll and my partner ordered a Scottish breakfast, both were good quality and very reasonably priced. We enjoyed it. We also bought two cakes to take away, would recommend and we will return.

Don’t go into the cafe at 3.25 !!! If we’d been told that they were just clearing up then we wouldn’t have ordered coffees and lite bites for our 2 grandchildren. A smile and a little chat costs nothing but we didn’t receive either I’m afraid. We felt totally unwanted and certainly won’t be back

Went for breakfast this morning with my family. On ordering we were advised that there was no square sausage left but they didn't give us another link sausage instead despite asking for a substitute for the missing square one and the staff had agreed to this due to their stock issue. They did swap eggs for a potato scone for 2 orders, so obviously substitutions are done. We also didn't get compensated for the missing item either, so we didn't get what we paid for. I ordered eggs on toast for my baby, the crusts were ridiculously hard so had to cut them off. Also the beans on my breakfast were cold and my tap water was lukewarm. The only good thing was the bacon tasted nice. This was my first experience of this place but given the poor service from staff, not getting what we paid for and underwhelming food, we will not be back unfortunately.

Visited here for the first time today, driven by many times but never went in. But it wasnt busy, we had the place to ourselves, food was well presented and very tasty at very reasonable prices. Service was quick too. They have a great little shop too with unusual stock, Highly recommend this hidden gem! Will be back very soon!

This place may be great but I had booked to go with my husband who has unfortunately been taken seriously ill and has been admitted to hospital.
I have just called to try and rearrange and been told that because it is within a two week window of the class, the food has been purchased and they have a two week cancellation policy. If you should have to cancel within two weeks then you can't reschedule, much less have a refund.
So be warned, in case like me you don't read the terms on the website and should you have occasion to cancel as an emergency, you will be left out of pocket and it's not cheap. I have just wasted £180, which in my opinion is not worth risking under any circumstances. Book a meal somewhere and save yourself the money.
