It has a very friendly atmosphere, it wasn't that busy when we went in, but people kept coming and going on a regular basis as we sat and had lunch. Overall I was very pleased with service, and the quality of the food. There is a relatively small selection of different things to eat, but the things that they do serve have many different fillings/topping to choose from. For 3 people, lunch with drinks, came to under £15 which i thought was quite good, taking into account the quality of the food, and the amount of it. This shop is a nice place to be, the music isn't to loud, and the chairs are very comfortable. What I was impressed with most was, even though it is a premises that serves food and drink, they still allowed my mums guide dog puppy in, even though lots of places frown upon it unless the dog has properly been trained.

You get some salad and some crisps on the plate with your burger, and it's extremely filling. Whether want a quick bite to eat, a take-away sandwich, just some tea or a full meal, it's great for everything. Take-away tends to be just salads and sandwiches etc. but you can get burgers, jacket potatoes, paninis etc. if you sit in the cafe. The waiters are all friendly and professional, but it also has a cosy cafe feel to the place. It can get quite busy around lunch time so, unless you're grabbing take-away, expect to spend some time there. You never feel like you're being rushed to finish your food though, it's all very relaxed.
