Basic, small Cafe, with sanitising gell dispenser for these COVID19 times, which you very much need as they only take cash. We visited on Sunday morning for a bacon sandwich breakfast with our walk along the Chelmer and Blackwater Navigation, service was swift & the sandwich perfect, soft fresh bread, lovely crisp bacon, with just a small amount of fat, no butter, the way I like it. Brilliant, well done.

A very nice little traditional cafe with friendly staff. It's clean with cute little attentions to detail like flowers on the table. Great bacon and egg sarnie.

Family run, Food is cooked well & place is always clean, Please note this is not a 'posh cafe' but it's somewhere calm & respectfull. This is a 'builders cafe' but not as you may know it. If Grandad wants to sit and drink tea and read a paper he is going to be greated and welcomed by everyone, (staff and passing regulars) If you and mum want breakfast and a chat, it's not noisy and you'll find something on the wide menu you'll like. Got a family of 8, want somewhere to eat, they will accommodate.
