Only been here for a drink but if the enthusiasm of other customers is anything to go by the food is great. The staff are friendly and helpful. I usually drink earl grey tea, when they didn't have any I chose another drink ( lemon tea which was lovely ) the staff said they would put it on their shopping list and would have it the next time I was in!!!
