"Fine food and Issues Decided to visit as the reviews were mainly great. Arrived to find it looked ten minutes after due to be open. They were just opening the door. I went in and quickly used the toilet, not flushed by last person that used it! It's a well laid out, well decorated restaurant. I chose the Escargots as my starter, well cooked with a very small amount of sauce sadly no tongs to hold the shell. They were 6 very nice molluscs. The main was an absolutely sensational tasty seafood salad. Interesting dressing on a generous variety of sea food and nice salad. I had ordered a lime and soda, it transpired they had no lime so someone went out to buy some and could only get lemon, which was ok. When it came to the desert I liked the idea of four of them but ordered the lemon tart. A few minutes later the lady running front of house (I later discovered it was her first day in post!! Returned hugely apologetic telling me sadly they had no lemon tart. I chose the cherry clafouti and a few minutes later the young lady came back devastated to tell me they had none of that either! I eventually had a brownie, which she didn't charge me for. Must confess it didn't excite and the supplied ice cream was quite crystallised as if it had been refrozen. The table next to me were told they had no more Escargot, so clearly they opened with only one portion available. Front of house was good, 2/3 of the food I had was great but clearly someone needs to sort out the kitchen too many problems to give customers confidence of availability. Was it worth the trip? Oh yes but they have some serious organisational issues to resolve."

Ordered a mocha however it was so sweet I was only able to have a few sips. The bagel however was soft and lots of creamy cheese which is really nice. I had the salmon bagel and it was nice. Edit review : went back for brunch had the mocha again but this time asked for half sugar and it was perfect . Again had the salmon bagel was still really nice .

Handy little cafe by the square with outside seating, with some humourless and odd staff. They have Cheese and Chuntney sandwiches, they have Ham and Tomato sandwiches (all made by hand from what I can see), yet if you want a Cheese and Tomato sandwich it involves a board meeting which comes to the conclusion you can but it will cost an additional £1.00. Anyway, it was very nice, served with a small garnish and some chips. Meal type: Brunch Price per person: £1–10 Food: 4 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 3 View menu

Absolutely awful I can't believe it happened, my 5 year old boy was desperate for the toilet so popped in to use as was always able to and knows no different only to be met as he came out of the toilet by the man who works in the cafe with his arms on his hip towering in the door staring at him and told him he can't use the toilet! This man not only was scary to my 5 year old that it made him cry but he was also incredibly rude to me. As a local and who family use this cafe alot we will not be returning and I will be tell people how he treats children Absolutely mortified it made me feel sick and my son so upset and confused. There is a way to talk to children this place obviously isn't chil...
