My friend and I stopped by on Friday lunch time only to find a small queue. Well we thought it was a queue because none of the staff seemed to be paying any of us much attention.

I came here on the recommendation of a shop assistant in the town. Absolutely fabulous food, large portion size and just so fresh. If I'm in this town again I will come back to try the cakes next time!
