  • Breakfast left me deflated - does size really matter? The sausage was half the size....... but, tasted amazing. Would you be deflated if you were served a very small sausage? It left me deflated.... but not for very long. The breakfast was super tasty and the service was super friendly. #deflated #lessismore #breakfast

      It's a fry up. Warmed up canned baked beans in a jar and a fried sausage. £2 for a cup of tea? It's not rocket science and very little quality. The entire purpose of old fashioned fry up joints was to provide good value for those on a tight budget. I've been to those places and had good service. This place had a service charge for service. A service charge for a fry up we can easily make at home.

    Baked Beans in a jam jar? ... And what's with the "green 🌿 stuff?" 🤣 ... I was salivating over your egg (eggs are my favourite food), if you'll excuse the imagery? 😋

Tea & OJ good … Beans looked watery & anaemic & served in a silly pretentious ‘jar’ Pea shoots on a fry-up ? What are you? A rabbit! Again just pretentious Watery eggs …. What they can’t drain on kitchen paper for 5 secs? Toast spread all over the plate & a tragic looking sausage … sorry but you were far too forgiving You deserved a proper sausage!!! The girl behind the counter looked positively hostile!! Considering the 100’s of excellent cafes around why bother to try here? A big NO for me.

Its not America !! Also you did get what u asked for. Me personally, i thought it was too expensive, eggs, toast, beans, and a tiny sausage, even the tea was expensive.
