"Our first experience at this restaurant was fantastic, but unfortunately, our most recent visit did not meet our expectations. Despite the tearoom not being overly busy, the delivery car seemed to be constantly coming and going, causing us to wait nearly an hour for our main courses to be served. When our dishes finally arrived, we were disappointed. While the chili tasted good, the portion size was extremely small and did not justify the price we paid. The presentation of the dish was also lacking, with the chips looking haphazardly thrown onto the plate with a dollop of chili on top. We have decided not to order this dish again in the future."

Very good meal moderately priced. Biggest drawback/waiting time 1hr 15 mins and not packed. Coffee bit overpriced.

Enjoy delicious homemade food in a cozy and comfortable setting. The open fire during winter adds a lovely touch, and the staff is exceptionally friendly.

What a wonderful tea room. Such a friendly greeting and felt instantly comfortable. My daughter loves a cooked breakfast and here you can have one any time of the day. I ordered a jacket potato with chilli and cheese and wow, it was big and so beautifully cooked with a crispy skin and so very tasty. I would highly recommend eating here. View menu

We had the most fantastic cream tea here at Grandma Lilly's. We are the most difficult customers, with numerous allergies, disabilities and veganism. But ALL of our needs were catered for. It was outstanding. Far exceeded our expectations. It was my parents 65th wedding anniversary and they loved it. The staff are so helpful and kind and friendly. We will be back

This is the second time this has happened; the Chilli con carne was priced at £10.75 and the portion on the plate was very small, which did not justify the price. My husband's meal was cheaper than mine and he received a larger portion. I have had cheaper meals where you get a lot more, such as omelettes, jacket potatoes, and roast dinners. Even my husband commented that it was not worth £10.75. It felt like robbery, so we will not be returning. The waitress only took off £2.75, which is better than nothing I suppose. This is not the first time we have heard similar complaints from other customers.

"We had been to Franco's many times before and loved it, both under the original ownership and the new. However, it seems that it has changed hands yet again and not for the good I'm afraid. Although, judging by the November reviews maybe it is back on track again. I also note that late September/early reviews are similar to ours, which was very poor. In fact we left before the food arrived, mainly due to the extremely poor level of service we received with our drinks. We were out to celebrate my wife's birthday and to start the evening, the four of us all ordered double Gin Tonic's. However, it took 40 minutes for the drinks to arrive. And if if we thought the time taken to bring the drinks was bad, then you can imagine our disappointment when one of the waitresses brought four large dirty glasses with what looked like water in them. No ice, no lemon, and the mixers already poured in the glass, so no way to judge what level of gin we had received. When we asked about the ice and lemon they looked at us in astonishment. We assumed that they had none of neither, otherwise why bring drinks without the basics? It was like they had never worked in a bar/restaurant before and had just wandered in off the street. To make matters worse, they then arrived later with a glass of lemons and a glass of ice. By this stage we could see the evening descending into chaos and we decided to leave. No apology from the staff or questions, they just allowed us to leave and got on with their business. Very off-putting. We decided to try Killocks, which was surprisingly good. Unfortunately, that's another restaurant off the go-to list."
