The cheapest but one of the best coffees I've had in the UK! Husband and I had the delux English breakfast which was great value for money, generous portion and delicious! A gem of a cafe, definitely recommend.

The young lady was rushed off her feet doing all the work on the cafe floor, taking orders service and cleaning, and was very busy . She handled pressure quite well considering .food was great very hot and fresh, and great selection on the menu and very accommodating with a slight adjustment to a dish . Will return

Big car park out side, deep gravel so not to sure if its wheelchair friendly. Very warm and welcoming atmosphere and friendly staff. Didn't get to the bar before i was asked to, take a seat and what i would like to order. I was seen to straight away, as soon as i popped my head round the door. Which is nice, for me anyway.I came in to try out there "take out" full English breakfast.Well i didn't have to wait long before my food arrived. It came in a big polystyrene food box with plastic knife and fork.Very hot and a very generous portions.I ordered two of these, one for me and my girlfriend and it came to less then 10.While I was waiting, i was looking at all the old village photos on the walls. back before and during the second world war. I didn't know that village had an airfield with watton airfield down the road less then 9 miles away. Both are bomber command. You learn something new every day.Highly recommended.
