    Comprehensive menu, very helpful staff, good value, pot of tea comes with a jug of hot water, prompt service, has both a covered and open seating areas in the courtyard. Hot sausage and bacon baguette piled high. Sausages not the best, bacon and homemade coleslaw v tasty, and shame about the scruffy surrounding walls. They'd benefit from a nice seaside mural to hide the graffiti. You never know.

    accidentally stumbled across this place for breakfast when the issac merrit was closed, it has a really really good breakfast, i have always recommended grand central for breakfast but this place is easily on par with it, an amazing choice and oh god the breakfast is really great. If you are a smoker then you can sit outside and they have an ashtray so you can enjoy a smoke after your food, if you don't smoke then you can go inside an be well away from the smoke! Try this place because you won't be disappointed! You might see reviews about the food but just ignore them, just the typical complainers who can't cook their children a proper breakfast.

    First visit. Tried their full breakfast, well presented and tasty. Good quality sausages and bacon. Comes with toast and marmalade and tea, coffee or fruit juice. Overall good value. When busy some of the tables/ chairs are very close together.

    Was a wet cold afternoon and had breakfast with my sister. Service was excellent and food was good, toung lad was very friendly. Just very busy when we visited (which is good for them but just felt a bit squashed - but it's a small venue not there fault) Shame weather was not better so we could have ate outside. Will b bk

    Like Brits generally, the staff were a bit humourless and snarky. If you're closed, you could maybe show this by doing any of a) closing your doors, b) closing your gate or c) putting a sign up rather than making a snide remark

    One of our absolute favourites in the bay. A hidden gem. Always busy, but always exceptional food, large portions and very friendly service. It's what keeps us going back so often.
