Can you believe this cost me 6.95? I could make this myself for 1. I was still very hungry after. Bun wasnt even toasted and felt old / stale. Probably wouldnt have put lettuce in it if I didnt ask if it came with salad. Absolute thieves please dont make the same mistake we did today

Staff were incredibly friendly. Cannot fault the breakfast, for something so "simple" there are plenty of places that can ruin it! This did not disappoint. And the cakes are amazing! Took one away for later, they are huge!! All freshly made and baked in house. Would thoroughly recommend!
