"A local gem almost too good to share. Although the dam lane shopping parade is not a glamorous location it does provide accessibility with amble parking not just in front of the shops but also a full car park at the back of the venue. Once inside the vibe is friendly and welcoming would not be out of place in Stockton Heath, Didsbury or Chicago without the high prices and jet lag. The background music is eclectic but conducive to conversation with a crowd ranging from mums and tots , lively senior citizens , local builders/trades and middle aged women on their own like me. With everything freshly made with great produce at great value prices it’s an affordable daily treat for locals like me and people using the A49 and Junction 21A of the M6 take a small detour and have a decent rest stop without the cost of a service station experience, With exceptional standards of customer service and a comprehensive menu from an exceptional range of cooked breakfasts and soups to speciality sandwiches and salads, I rarely resist a take home treat from the great range displayed in Nigel's hand crafted cake display cabinet, other examples of his designs are in the decor and seating with an amusing touch of Fred Flintstone’s style. If you are bringing a four pawed friend there is limited outside seating a la Barcelona without the need for sun block"

"The staff are so friendly and welcoming as soon as you come in. Service was attentive and quick, one of the best iced lattes I’ve ever had and I’m very fussy. Food was great myself and my husband both had eggs Benedict but he had Ham and I had salmon, poached eggs cooked to perfection, good amount of Hollandaise sauce and the salmon/ham/Parma ham were all locally sourced and very tasty. There are a good amount of choices for breakfast too so you won’t be stuck. We liked it so much we went back the next morning for breakfast again!"

"My family met up for lunch on Sunday afternoon at a restaurant we frequent often. The staff is great and the atmosphere is always pleasant. The food is consistently good. My only complaint is that the Steak and Frites portion seemed a bit small, though I didn't personally order it. Overall, the experience was superb as usual. Service: Dine in Meal type: Lunch Price per person: £20–30"

"We have eaten here on a few occasions: the last time we ordered the chateaubriand medium rare, it came out medium. When we spoke to the waitress she said they had a French chef and they always over cook the steaks. You have to ask if the chef is French or English when you come in as this will depend on how your meat is cooked which seems really strange as there is nothing on the menu that says you have to ask this. We let it go and did not complain. We came again today for lunch. We ordered the prawn risotto which I ordered the last time and it was amazing. Today is was dry but again we let it go rather than complain and spoil the meal. My partner ordered the kidneys (pleural) however there was one kidney, again we let it go. We also ordered the duck profiterole. This came with a poached egg, however the egg was boiled not poached and over done so we sent it back. When this starter was replaced it was cold and the egg was raw in parts so un edible . When we told the waiter he apologised and we said the chef needs to learn how to cook an egg a very basic thing to cook. The chef who we now know is the owner came out of the kitchen and very unprofessionally said to us, “I need to go back to chef school to learn how to cook an egg”and laughed at us. Never have we seen such unprofessional behaviour from a chef and an owner of a restaurant. His behaviour was childish and unprofessional. We told the waitress we were not holy with him and she apologised but it was not her that should have apologised. He then served us dry pork which again had to be sent back. On both occasions I asked for the chef to come out and speak to us and we would explain what was wrong with his food, however we were told this would not happen. This was disappointing considering the chef had come out and made his sarcastic comment to us and retreated to his kitchen without us being able to speak to him. We eat out many days a week in many restaurants and have never been so disappointed with a meal and the chef. We watched others in the restaurant who also had over cooked eggs but for their own reasons did not bring it up. We will never go back to this restaurant which is a shame. It was very busy and I do not think the chef could deal with how busy it was. There was a full restaurant and a function on. Regardless if a chef cannot cope with a full restaurant then do not fill your restaurant and if you have to serve poor quality food and insult your customers when they complain, then shame on you and yes go back to school and learn how to cook an egg and a steak. Serve your food perfectly no matter how busy you are and treat your customers with respect we are paying for your service. This was our 5th visit and our last after today. If you were proud of the food you served today then shame on you. And the fact you wouldn’t come out and discuss with us is a shame, all you could do is be childish say your comment and rush off to your kitchen pathetic. Avoid this restaurant if you want great food continuously. Well done to the staff who have to work for this rude owner!"

"Been here a few times, but not over the past 6-7 years. Happy Cow sticker on the entrance door. I remember it being nice in the summer, making use of the terrace. That wasn’t open today, despite the good weather. Inside was humid. Service staff were moderately friendly, not as friendly as I would have hoped. Menu isn’t quite what is available online, but there are a few options for vegans, which is good. We got there just after the breakfast menu time, so we had the afternoon menu (picture uploaded). I had the vegan BLT (see picture) and fat chips, which were excellent. Probably the best vegan BLT I’ve had if I’m telling the truth. Wife had a veggie option which she said was very nice. Moderately pricey for quantity. Wouldn’t be opposed to a return."
