Really nice cafe, love how dog friendly it is. We were the only people in at the time so our dogs had plenty of fuss and treats. We had a cream tea, scones were beautiful. Staff were really nice and friendly. 10/10 would recommend and we will definitely return

Very nice home cooked food. The chicken curry and lasagna are delicious ! BYO which keeps the bill nice and low ! A very nice feed and a lot less busy than the Red Barn. Family friendly with a warm welcome. Bring cash though as no card machine.

Seriously I pride myself in breakfast experience. This is by far the best fryup I've ever had. Sausages were unreal, bacon thick, black pudding was tasty. The whole lot was next level. Dogs allowed and close to the beach. It's the perfect place. It's just a shame it's 300 miles away, but I'll be sure to come again.

I had a beautiful cooked breakfast this morning with a big mug of tea. The man running the cafe was attentive while doing it all by himself. A lovely plate of food before a good, long walk on the beach.
