We stop here every now and then for a coffee and sometimes breakfast. I do like to sit outside with a few over the canal and the marina. The breakfast is delicious apart from the sausages which are not so much to my liking here.

I was so grateful to stumble across for a well timed loo stop and stayed for a delightful marmalade flapjack and cappuccino on my unexpected sunny bike ride. A lovely spot!

Manager and chef need a training on costumers service and health and safety. They are rude, they were shouting to a parent who ask to use the loo for his little girl, for no reason. The parent was happy to purchase something but the manager shout at him that he needs to go at the end of the queue, all the people on the queue were happy to let him pass so the little girl could use the toilet but she refused to serve him. At the top of this the chef while was shouting for no reason while touching the toilet handle and other dirty surfaces, came back in the kitchen and started to cook without washing his hands. Lack of manner and hygiene
