A small but perfectly run market town cafe. There is seating for about 25, which would be cramped…read moreif full but the general feeling is of light & space. Some seating is provided outside but was raining today. The staff are very efficient & quality of the food served was certainly tasty & plenty full, reasonably priced also. Toilets provided on upper level but no wheelchair access seen. No parking provided but ample can be found nearby. Having been to most of the cafe's in the town, I would certainly return to No3 & recommend it to others.

The appetiser of popadoms with chutneys arrived quickly followed by a starter of onion bhajis which was hot & well cooked. We ordered two medium hot curries which didn't come up-to expectation regarding the spice/heat content. The lamb bhuna very weak & chicken merchant curry had more flavour but no real kick. We are not experts in the Indian dining culture but expected It to be a little more stimulating than a Pataks jar. The only complaint would be of the toilets which although generally clean, below the water line could do with some bleach in both male & female cubicles. Would return for another try based on the dining experience.

The name conjures images of simple delicious rustic Italian food served at affordable prices. The…read morereality does not really uphold this image but is not terrible either! We visited during the Xmas to New Year respite looking for something tasty and filling on a cold day. The lunch menu had all the usual pastas and pizzas offered with starter for £7.99 ($10). We chose the tomato soup and mushrooms in garlic. My soup was pretty disappointing, thin and bitter tasting but mushrooms were good. I chose a bolognese sauce for pasta, while others in party had pasta arrabiata, pepperoni pizza and chicken Kiev. Unfortunately the pasta sauces were not good, my Bolognese looked great but had little taste. The Arrabiata lacked depth of flavor also other than being doused in chili powder and in both cases the pasta was over-cooked and did not taste freshly made. However chicken was good and the chunky chips were the best part. Pizza was bare and devoid of toppings but dough was good. Decor is a little quirky and looks like an attempt to hang an Italian farmhouse skin on a British pub skeleton. However, the reason I give it 3 stars is that it's the type of cost effective, kid friendly place that serves a need, just not mine!

As it was mid afternoon, there was no problem with seating or waiting for our food. Delicate flakey cod and the best surprise in way of a green salad! The mixed green salad had fresh slices of strawberries, bell peppers of many colors and pomegranates! Pomegranates!! The chips were plentiful and okay. Being from the US, my preference is for more crispy. Maybe I can ask for this The shop has their own parking lot and the staff is nice. Lovely toilet facilities upstairs. Please support this business when in the area. Thank you!
