★★☆☆☆
The experience here was disappointing. The décor feels run-down, the seats were dirty and uncomfortable, and the music added no atmosphere at all,being American country music. Staff were generally friendly when approached but not welcoming — distracted, often on their phones, and the warm water glasses didn’t help the impression. Staff also say on their break right beside our table when the restaurant has many other available seats. This was not the worst, rather the multiple trips to get a 2L bottle of water then a second, then a glass, then food, then salt, then another random item.

The biggest issue: the food lacked flavour altogether. The pizza, pasta, and salad were all bland and under-seasoned, with nothing standing out. The pasta was more watery than creamy and the salad leaves were rough and uneven.

This place has potential, but right now it feels neglected and uninspired. I wouldn’t rush back.

So. Highly recommend place to visit. Would highly recommend to think twice to visit here. Went with my partner and our son. Ordered the fried pasta. Was nice. Partner ordered lasagne. She was not at all impressed. Truth be told. Wasnt great. Small piece in a bowl with sauce. No chips no salad no garlic bread. If you want anything extra you've to order it separately. All for 19 quid. Not worth it. Best thing on the menu was our 3 year olds pizza. Service was poor. Dropped our food then weren't to seen until we asked for our cheque. Wouldn't be running back there

It was wonderful to step into the café, escape the rain and cold wind, and find ourselves in a cozy atmosphere, feeling welcomed. Everything we ordered was excellent! It's made us want to come back every weekend. Special thanks to the staff for their attentive care.

Response from the owner
