Fantastic and friendly staff. Much better food than opposite competition! Card machine wasn’t working today and they were happy that I brought the cash later. Sandwiches were absolutely delicious and takeaway they are only £4.50! Well worth a visit and wish I have tried the sweet stuff!!

I‘m german and came from my cruise ship to this place. It‘s amazing and a perfect restaurant for myself. I love the design and the music. It‘s a really cozy atmosphere here. I ordered a chocolate milkshake and it was the best I‘ve ever had. Even though my english is not the best the service was very friendly and I could understand everything.
