Recommend by a friend, we walked in and were served instantly with a smile. Has a table for 5,
Food was brilliant, a large coke was a large coke.(Unusually).
Pizza was great, light fluffy dough, will definitely be leaving spoons and coming here again.
We couldn’t finish our pizzas and they gave us brilliant little boxes to take home.
All in all very happy.

Yes, yes, yes ,yes. Saw this place last week whilst visiting a more formal restaurant nearby as and thought to give it a try. Phoned on the Friday lunchtime but all the 2 HR slots for 7 pm were filled, so we opted for one of the few remaining 5 pm slots. After all it is just a cafe.
How wrong that sentiment is. The only thing cafe about this place is the name and the substantial cafe type table and chairs, and even then I've been in restaurants with less good quality seating. Met by one of three members of staff and seated quickly in a bright and happy atmosphere nicely decorated and clean. Offered the menu which is extensive. Starters, sides, salads, build your own pizzas, about 18 named pizzas, burritos,nachos, wraps and enchiladas as well as pasta options, baked potatoes etc.
Yes my friends, places with a huge menu option choice often see chef fail to deliver consistent quality across all dishes. NOT HERE!
A bowl of olives (enough for two) and a 'chips dips and garlic bread' were delivered. Three dips, probably a bag of nachos and the most delicious pieces of toasted and properly buttered bits of bread came in bowls on a plate. This was a good start. Note the red wine was super smooth (a Merlot at 5 pm!) and was perfect temperature.
We went for two named regular pizzas (a medium in old money) and side order of crisscross fries tossed in MARMITE butter (it had to be tried, just once). They are different!
It is clear there no previously made, bought in bases going on here. This was clearly authentic dough, with deep topping pizzas made to order and what a treat they were. Hot, melted crisp, fresh. I mean how many words can you use to describe fantastic pizza? Chef clearly had the nailed and my worries over the menu were completely dispelled when seeing other orders and hearing other customers talking about their food. Well done all staff involved.
I wouldn't normally go for a dessert at this time of day. It's excessive but something caught my eye on the whole page.of desserts. Something called a 'Super 8'. I won't spoil it by trying to describe this sundae in words except to say 'heaven in a glass' for chocolate, and after 8 and mint ice-cream and chocolate brownie and chocolate
sauce lovers................. WOW!
An exceptional experience in a full cafe, eating fabulous food, great mix of young and old, nothing formal, everything prepared.abd cooked wonderfully and delivered in a professional and polite manner. A must visit if only for the desserts!

Disappointing meal here unfortunately.
My spaghetti was hugely over cooked and although the meatballs were nice they were over shadowed by a very basic, one dimensional tomato sauce. The pizza wasn’t much better as it was oily and thick, however the flavour was good.
Our meal was somewhat saved by the outstanding garlic bread and a lovely warm chocolate brownie to finish.

Came here with my niece and it was excellent. The food was delicious and the service was wonderful. Everyone was so friendly and my niece loved her kids menu with pizza! I had a smoothie and panini and both were delicious
