Great cafe in a great location. Reasonably priced and the food was great. Loved the cooked breakfast well worth the money and great value! Can’t wait to go back and try the different flavours of the ice creams there. They look yummy my only problem will be what flavour to choose!!!

Always a friendly welcome, great food at reasonable prices, with great views of the river. Had a fish and chip meal that had very large portions and freshly cooked fish. Included bread and butter but no drink. Great value at £8.50. Have introduced this place to many friends over the years, and it never ceases to amaze. Date of visit: June 2024

Food is pretty good , large portion size. Lovely views of the river and really nice to eat outside on a sunny day. Service is kind of slow , visited twice today and first time had to wait whilst staff finished chatting to order a bottle of water. Building is really dated and desperately needs a refurbishment or redecoration. Tables were a little dirty. Despite this its a handy little cafe and an overall ok place

A good place who provide a very friendly and sometimes amusing experience. I bought a hot chocolate and it was delicious. On a cold day it's an oasis to get a light bite and a hot drink. They also do a good selection of delicious ice-cream. My friend said that the coffee was equally delicious. We have come here a few times and have never been disappointed. They sell all manner of things but I unfortunately did not browse as I just wanted a drink. Would certainly recommend this place. When we were there it was busy and it's very family friendly. Beside this cafe is a gents and ladies toilet.
