Customer service needs a bit of work, but the cobs are too tasty to rate it lower! Definitely recommend you give them a call, they’re happy to serve you anytime of day. Seriously, ANYTIME, I called at 6:30am and they were polite and courteous. Definitely call them!

OUT OF THIS WORLD.........On first impressions the cafe looks like it belongs on a seafront back in the 90's. The outdated appearance and interior could definitely put off a few punters but dont be hasty. The sweet machines have been sat in the window that long that the skittles have now lost colour. The chef statue has been there that long he has grown a moustache. BUT Dont let this ancient and outdated exterior and appearance put you off. The food is great value and excellent quality. The place is clean and tidy and the staff are friendly and welcoming. I will definitely be visiting this cafe again next time I'm in the area and would recommend it to anyone. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Tasty cobs and lovely owners. Very good to talk to. Only thing, when is the shop open? Will be nice to mention at the door. That is the only thing but looking forward to visit again.

Great food. I came in everyday for a week wearing a blue coat and after a day was treated like a regular. The service is great and the history behind the restaurant is captivating all at a fair price. I recommend the bacon, sausage and tomato roll heavily. 5/5
