Pies, Fried Chicken & Chips. All were excellent and seasoned really well. I'm not sure what they cook their Chicken & Chips in, but it tastes great. Great Food & Great Service. No recommendations for improvement. Highly recommend.

No onions in the steak and cheese pie! I can finally eat one. It was very good. The apple muffin was to goo. No one had anything to complain about.

My little family and I had lunch here for the first time, and the food was absolutely delicious! I had the soup of the day and is probably now my favourite soup! the dough that was made for the bread and donuts was perfection too and lovely staff!
