I went here with 3 friends for a quick lunch. We all loved this place! Really friendly and efficient service and a nice range of well priced food choices, prepared freshly. The train set running all around the cafe just below the celing was a fun, quirky touch. I'm an island dweller and will add this to my list of places to take friends and family. Brent says hello by the way! Thank you Place to Eat!

A little cafe that does the job. Friendly staff and we enjoyed the veggie and regular full English breakfasts. My eggs were cooked perfectly as requested - thank you so much for that! Will return when in need of a good cooked breakfast!

Lovely place to eat. Very reasonable prices. We had a Lamb Roast yesterday after coming across this place while visiting the Island for the day. It was the best Lamb I have ever tasted. Will definitely be coming back on our next visit. The staff were very friendly. Definitely recommend.
