Popped in for a very quick lunch, never been before, what a fab place! Prompt and pleasant service. Menu extensive and all items tempting. Good food, great value. Unfortunately we live 70 miles away otherwise I would be here every week! Thank you!

Caroline thank you for taking the time to give us a riew we appreciate this very much . Maria and Aldo thank you again
A lovely little gem on the High Street and a great place to get some quick food if you don't feel like visiting a chain restaurant. The two owners are lovely and friendly, and the sandwiches are delicious with a great variety to choose from on the menu. Would definitely recommend for a quicker and cheaper option on the High Street.
I love this place it has a warm friendly atmosphere and the owners Maria and Aldo are funny kind and helpful. The food is good the drinks hot and a good price you can book for a specific celebration and they will bring the cake and everyone joins in singing happy birthday there a…More reviews
I love this place it has a warm friendly atmosphere and the owners Maria and Aldo are funny kind and helpful. The food is good the drinks hot and a good price you can book for a specific celebration and they will bring the cake and everyone joins in singing happy birthday there are a lot of regulars who you get to chat to .Some customers forget it is cold outside and leave the door open which is annoying and costly for the owners . A friendly independent cafe which is always busy .Thanks Maria and Aldo xxx💕- Parking

Maria and Aldo are always so friendly and welcoming. Came in here with my mum for lunch, first time I had the salami and brie panini which was delicious. This time I tried the mushroom risotto and it was divine! Best risotto I've tasted so delicious. My mum's salmon and avacado salad was lovely too. Recommend this lovely cafe great service and food. Mushroom risotto though was so tasty!

Dear Caroline thanks you so much for taking the time to give us sach a lovely review Maria
I wanted a quick lunch before going to the cinema to watch a film I'd worked on (Dogman, DreamWorks). Had a Full English and a glass of freshly squeezed juice. Hit the spot! What a sweet little cafe. Very impressed with the friendly service and how quickly our food came. If you're ever in the area, you need to pop in! I can't recommend it enough.

Went there for lunch yesterday with my friend Ruth, we had the Chorizo and brie pannini, with a side salad. Absolutely delicious. I took away Raspberry and lemon Cheesecake and a Tiramasu. Friendly service. Well done Maria and Aldo

thank you so much Maria and Aldo x
Popped in for a spot of breakfast, and left with a better mood. The cafe was busy but the team (a family I believe), we're all working incredibly hard whilst remaining very friendly and creating a really positive atmosphere. Food is reasonably priced and very delicious, the quality of each food item was brilliant. Highly recommend, I'll return myself when in the area.

I visited with my fiancé for a quick brunch and really enjoyed the atmosphere and food. You can tell its a family run business and whist both owners were very busy as the cafe was full, they give out a very friendly and positive energy, which together with the lovely atmosphere and food has set my mood for the day. Highly recommended and will definately visit again!

LOVE the owners!... they really make u feel like family... a warm and welcoming atmosphere, good food, reasonable price. They never forget a face, which is what makes u feel appreciated. My other half has never liked a cafe before this, took him there one day, and he's the one always wanting to go for breakfast lol. I WILL always recommend.
We go here on a regular basis, and Maria and Aldo are both lovely, and we are always made so welcome. The choice of food is very good and sobis the quality of the food they serve.
