Good service today being a Saturday 6th Nov. Had their lovely crisp chicken goujons & non soggy chips BUT the lovely tasting beans were only luke warm along with my plate & my square apple slice tasted terrible, & as you can see - I poked around looking for the apples.

Great food for a great price. The staff were welcoming, friendly and professional. I was on my own and wanted a quiet space which was provided. Menu could be cut back a bit as was a little daunting. Opted for Mexican chicken panini and orange juice. Panini served with a wee bit fresh salad and some crisps (crisps not the best sorry). Think if I had asked for a bit more salad rather than crisps they would have obliged. Unfortunately orange juice was off the menu but substituted for an amazing huge mug of tea. Definitely will return. Highly recommend.

Genuinely surprised by the quality and cost of the food here. Lunch was lovely and well priced. Don’t bother with Costa next door. Get yourself here for lunch!
