A great breakfast for a reasonable price, one of my favorite breckfast/ lunch stops. If having lunch I can recommend the Bacon & Brie baguette.
Popular cafe set in the grounds of fishing lakes. A large range menu, and cooked to order, well presented and cooked to perfection. Recommended

Proper greasy spoon style. Tasty bacon, nice sausage, crispy Hash Brown. Big tasty fried egg. Proper quality food and lots of it. Huge toast (that came pre buttered, which I like for so many reasons) Passed the dry hash brown test (they don't bury it under the beans or tomato making it soggy, excellent, tick) Got my order right by excluding mushroom, happy days. Not the poshest of places but it's not intending to be, which is great because they focus on the food quality and cost to the punter. The only thing I forgot was to leave them a tip, regrettably.
