Came here today with my husband for a late lunch. The food was hot and lovely. The service from the staff was warm and welcoming. We will definitely be back, think this is our new favourite place.

Pop down for lunch a few times a month usually for a panini but also had burger chips Have also gone in for ice creams and more importantly, doggy ice creams. Dogs welcome. Indoor and outdoor seating. Excellent breakfast and desert options with waffles, pancakes and ice creams.

Great portions and really friendly staff. Have tried the pizzas, loaded fries, and ice creams, all really nice. The place could do with some music playing in the background as it is a bit too quiet when eating inside. (Not sure if this is due to a legal reason though) It's also a bit cold inside BUT that's being critical, overall fantastic.

Popped in with my wife and our dog and was instantly made to feel welcome. The owners came over and was chatting with us and even met their dog. Had a couple of ice creams , which were really good and great value for money. Definitely a great place to go for food. We are coming back because the loaded fries look immense and can’t wait to try them.

Great new ice cream place that's just opened up. Selling Joe's ice cream along with other desserts. The chocolate orange ice cream is probably the best I've ever tasted and their cheesecakes are delicious too

Had a festive dining bench today. The food was incredible and service exceptional. We have a dietary requirement and they were more than accommodating and made alternatives which were delicious. Will definitely recommend.
