Had to try this place as its only a 5 minute walk away from home. I'd heard many good things before visiting and finally thought id give it a go. Upon going in, we found a seat and decided what we were going to have. A lovely lady came to the table to take our order. I opted for a Mr Miner breakfast and it did not disappoint! It was cooked to absolute perfection and we both really enjoyed what we had! We were even able to refill our teas! Great breakfast, great service and a great price! Would highly recommend!
