Always lovely food and service from the ladies here! So friendly and welcoming on entry/ordering and no order is too much for them! Every food option is so good but my favourite has to be a Brie and cranberry panini, just can’t beat it! My advice if you want to order food from here is to do it sooner rather than later because they can sell out so quickly due to popular demand!

Lovely little cafe I popped in for bite to eat for brekkie . First thing I saw was the front counter with a wide range of freshly made salads etc which is always a great sign . I went for a breakfast cob in which I had bacon sausage and hash brown . Now this is what I call a breakfast cob with proper q quality sausages and bacon coupled with a monster hash brown . I think this was only a few quid as the bacon and hash brown were extra can’t remember exactly but it wasn’t breaking the bank and you couldn’t complain with the generous portions you was getting . If your staying in derby id suggest skip of the hotel breakfast and come here . The staff were also very pleasant and the food came out fairly quick and the great thing there’s plenty of seating inside and out For more food content follow me on socials @bigchefeats
