"Called in here after a wet and windy walk in the area. Was welcomed on entering which was nice to see and once seated the orders were taken quickly. Food was brilliant, had a bacon sandwich and Fries. The bacon sandwich was one of the best I've had anywhere, loaded with several rashes of bacon. If you are in the area visiting and looking for a light bite then pop in here."
