Reviews Overview
Most Liked
Diners rave about the all-day breakfast, particularly the Big Breakfast that offers ample portions at an excellent price. The homemade ice cream garners much praise, with visitors often returning just for a taste. The friendly and efficient staff contribute positively to the dining experience, making patrons feel welcomed. Customers also appreciate the laid-back atmosphere, ideal for solo visits or family gatherings. The great selection of desserts complements the hearty meals, making it a sweet ending to any dining experience.
Most Disliked
Some diners mentioned that the chips could be crispier, affecting their overall enjoyment of certain fried dishes. A few reviewers noted occasional wait times during peak hours, particularly during lunch, which may require some patience. While the seating is spacious, the restaurant can fill up quickly, leading to a bustling environment that some might find overwhelming. A select few wished for more variety on the kids' menu, hoping for additional choices beyond the classics. Overall, feedback remains overwhelmingly positive despite these minor mentions.

2nd. Visit...last one was pre covid, and pleased to see they are still open. They make their own ice cream which makes it a pleasure to visit. The car park is Porth side of the building. Drive in as if you were going into the car wash (look for car wash and red sign). Definitely worth a visit as it does food as well as ice cream. 3rd visit...always happy to visit if in the area. Car wash next door that I love to use while in the restaurant.

Food was very nice, Chips could have been crispier. Came with some very nice tartar sauce. I ordered Fanta, it was very nice and even came with a ton of ice. And the side was a very nice garnish of onion, cucumber, tomato and lettuce came here multiple times, and would still come here again. Staff were also very nice, polite, and fast.
