Visited here today with my mum and my toddler. The staff were really friendly and helpful getting my daughter's food prepared how she would like it. The home made millionaire shortbread and toffee shortbread were amazing! The best I have tasted in a long time and the prices were really good too. Other places locally serve premade tray bakes and charge twice as much! Will definitely be back again
