Enjoyed a relaxed lunch in this pleasant cafe. Staff were cheerful and helpful and we never felt rushed despite taking our time (it was a showery day). Toasties salads and wraps were fine - just wished we had room for the delicious looking cakes.

It's a nice cafe. The food isn't the best but it's a decent hearty breakfast in a pleasant place.
