While most reviews highlight the food's freshness, a few customers experienced inconsistency in portion sizes. Some food enthusiasts wished for more adventurous menu items that could showcase gourmet options beyond the café classics.

Had the Checkers burger. Not for the faint hearted! 2 1/4lb burgers, 2 bacon, cheese and onion rings!! Didn’t quite finish it but took some home. The staff are lovely and the food is fresh and delicious. We didn’t order ahead, just popped in as we were passing.

Cracking place for breakfast or lunch. The staff are lovely and friendly, very welcoming. The food is brilliant and really good value. Stop getting McDonald's breakfasts and get yourself a French stick special for £4 2 sausage, 2 bacon, 2 egg and mushrooms in a French stick. Legend.
