    Excellent bacon and egg in fresh, soft brown roll this morning. Really hit the spot. Cash-only is a policy inclusive of older people and more vulnerable people who are less likely to use card payments. I fully support businesses continuing to accept cash. Update: remains excellent January 2024.

    honestly, just a really great solid caff. They make their own salt beef, take card payments, have a good value menu and have a nice and bright spot to hang out with a baked potato. Don’t sleep on the desserts - apple or cherry pie with custard is an OG school dinners classic. FORGET NORMAN’S CAFE - THIS IS THE REAL DEAL

    I had a huge plate of Spanish omelette, chips and salad for £6! They serve all day breakfast and have extensive menus choices. It’s local, quick, great value for this location!

  • 1/5 Neha G. 5 months ago on Google
    I am writing a bad review because I believe the employees charged me more for my dish than what was listed. As a tourist from Canada, I was paying with cash and an employee was telling me which coins to give him. At the time, I was very confused and he took at least an extra pound from me, which I only realized later. I am not sure if it was a mistake on his part or if he was taking advantage of my naivety, but the employee took at least £4.80 from me for a dish that was only £3.80. I feel like I was scammed.
