History
This Cafe has been on this road from at least the 1940's, and established on its present site since the early 1950's. It has changed and evolved over the years to meet modern customer and business needs. Its present modern status still retains it's traditional ambience.
Webmaster Comments
This Cafe is in excellent order, well presented and perhaps above all the food is of the best standards I have experienced in the UK. All simple foods for example are cooked and presented with care and attention which is a marker for all others. I would personally seek to call here for food and go off course some miles to achieve that goal.
I should also add that this is one of those Cafes that provides an excellent standard, so looking to serve all members of the community. The owner believes that drivers require the best possible service and food, in line with business customers. This is in my opinion a Socially Cosmopolitan Cafe, and the way all Cafes will be in the future. As the owner comments above,,, Its present modern status still retains it's traditional ambience,, I agree 100%!
