Excellent home made food. The staff are friendly and most of the customers are regulars as they appreciate the food and value. The mince and dumplings are fantastic.

Went here today. It was pretty busy. We both had a lovely full English. The quality of the food was great, and really good value only £4 each. Great location right on the high street. Have been a few times and will go back again.
