Friendly welcome and great breakfast, all fresh, hot and tasty (minus the tomato as requested). Good value too. This was my first visit and I am looking forward to returning to try something else on the varied menu. Note they only take cash, I somehow...managed to miss the signs until I was half through my sausage, eek! (Fee-free ATM in the SPAR a few doors down). Thank you both.More

Great freshly cooked breakfast in a small but very friendly cafe, food is hot & cooked to order so may take a short while but worth the wait for the quality. Nice staff who can't do enough for you.

Delicious cooked breakfast for decent price, plus a sausage muffin special. We walked here along the river and were lucky to get a table just as the lunch rush started. Hosts were so friendly and the cafe had a very nice vibe.

Stewart cooked me sirloin steak, which was not on the menu. Very tasty and beautifully presented. Excellent value for money too. You do need to book, this was a Friday but for Stewart's Sunday roasts you do need to book a table!

What a lovely little place. We had one roast lamb, a triple decker sandwich and a veg breakfast. Ample food, well presented and quite quick. Pleased I found the place on Tripadvisor. If you want to eat here on a Sunday, make sure you book.

Today we had visited Miss Ellie’s Cafe to try their full English after reading all of the positive reviews online. All we can say is wow ! Both the lady who was serving and the chef were very friendly and accommodating from the moment we...walked in. The cafe it’s self spotless and has a lovely feel about it. There are plenty of different food options available to suit all at and at a reasonable price. We both had a full English and it was amazing! The food was fresh and cooked really well.This was definitely value for money. The staff clearly take pride in the cafe and are more than happy to check if you are happy with your food and if they can do anything for you. Thank you for a lovely meal, we will be sure to recommend you to friends and family and return in the future :)More
