Had chicken tacos from their street food menu and it actually tasted like street food that you would get at a cool restaurant in London or Berlin, not the reheated fast food street food you normally get on the island. The chicken was fresh and the flavor was interesting and great. It also came with a nice combination of four salads (including tomato and mozzarella and a cous cous salad). Finally, rather than throwing chips at you, it included some beautiful sauteed potatoes. Overall, a great lunch.

As, I suspected, it very much looks like an old school diner and so immediately I want pancakes rather than lunch! Pancakes I had, stacked up high with a sausage on the side for 'real food.' The boyfriends had a burger and all is very satisfying, including the lovely homely service. We never got around to coffee as milkshakes and orange juice seemed more appropriate! Worth a detour for this place! Note: check if they take cards - they didn't last month!

Beautifully decorated with biker memorabilia, it used to be a car dealership, then a service station before its present incarnation. A small but tasty menu from which I ordered the full Cumbrian breakfast - bacon, Cumberland sausage, blood sausage, mushrooms, baked beans, fried egg, hash browns and grilled tomatoes. Sounds like a lot but it was really tasty, not to mention great fuel for hiking up the mountains in the district. Do yourself a favor and tank up at this family run American-style diner. You'll thank yourself after.

It is run by a husband and wife team, the menu is simple but plentiful, and full of all the traditional favourites.

We had lunch when we were there, mine was quiche with a baked potato and cheese and it was SO TASTY! They also do frequent competitions on Facebook to win free meals, here's hoping!!

Instead the lovely woman behind the counter had a friendly conversation with me while I tried to coax an answer out of my girlfriend about what she wanted to drink. I had a coffee and their apparently famous American pancakes, both of which were absolutely delicious. The coffee came with a leaf pattern in the foam on top, which (trust me I've tried to do that) isn't easy. The presentation of the pancakes was also spectacular, I couldn't wait to sink my teeth into them. The pricing was very reasonable, while it is a little steep for a humble student, what you get is well worth the money. Also I have to mention the WiFi. I don't think I have ever been to an establishment that has faster and easier to use wi-fi for their customers. No sign up and boom you're online. Although sitting inside it was great, sitting outside was a little tenuous because of their large stone walls. The aesthetic of the place is fantastic, if you're sitting outside the view over the lake and the hills beyond is breathtaking, but if you're more in the mood to sit in the warm the vintage and elegant decor and comfy seating will make you feel at home.

The British beef roast is different from the American version, and they did a very good job on the roast as each slice of beef was nice and tender. The Brussel sprouts and potatoes that complemented the main course were icing on the cake! I typically don't like sweets but their hot chocolate fudge cake with a scoop of vanilla ice cream was a beautiful finale to my meal! Staff are friendly and efficient. The indoor dining room is cozy, while there is an option to sit outdoor as well. Their restroom has paper towels to dry your hands, which is typically not found in many restrooms here in the UK except for fancy luxurious establishments so that was a very pleasant surprise.

We chose this little family run cafe/steakhouse and it proved to be a sound decision. Generous portions of home-cooked food all round. I had the chicken liver pâté to start and it was delightful. My sister polished off deep fried brie and currant jelly & my brother in law the chilli garlic prawns. All of the plates would have passed any cleanliness inspection afterward with absolutely nothing left. For mains, my niece had a steak burger & my nephew the rump steak, both available as kids meals. For the adults, they have many choices of cut of steak cooked to your liking. I agreed with my brother-in-law to share our meals him ordering the 10 oz. sirloin (which my sister also enjoyed) & I ordered the mixed grill. We both like our steaks rare and although some places struggle to deliver, JK's did not. Excellent value and my sister's family all went off with big smiles on their faces to warmer climes.

The food is up there with the best of them for the most part, just falling (very slightly) short of the standards of the likes of Picnic in Killyleagh. On the other hand though the place is more spacious and comfortable that the aforementioned eatery and has a nice view out over the bay. The staff are friendly and helpful and the quirky décor is a pleasure. Even the toilets have Astroturf walls! Although it may be a little less convenient that some of the places closer to the centre of Newcastle it's worth going the 2 minute up the road (in the car) to give this place a whirl.

I had the pickled burger, a burger with pickled onions and gherkins. Square patty that was particularly tasty. It was thin and got dried out when cooked.
