It has been sometime since we were last here and it was always something of a favourite. Tasty home cooked honest food good value for money. Today was an even more of a pleasant surprise. Refurbished, looks really smart, a great menu and fab service. The lady who I think has been there for some time is a master class in itself in customer service. I had crab cakes with lemon mayonnaise and a perfectly dressed salad and fresh not bagged salad. Lovely well filled sandwiches, my husband said it was the best coronation chicken he had ever had. Home cooked chips. We shall most definately be going back for a lunch soon.

Lovely place that is trying really hard to be a good eatery. They had a few supply issues so some of the menu wasn't available but they were so polite and apologetic and the food we did have was tasty and plentiful. Will go again.
