> Ordered a caramel slice, 2 chicken cranberry pies and a large FLAT WHITE caramel, got half a cup of foam, half a cup of something that didn't taste like coffee. Scooped out the foam on my flat white, check out this for a shocking cuppa. No foam in a flat white. Been here half a hundred times and seems like it's 50/50 hit and miss with the food and never again a coffee., M T, 3 months ago
> The mud cake was excellent lovely sandwiches, savouries, and sausage rolls. Delicious food all around 🎂We will definitely be ordering again., Catherine Depano, a month ago
> No dressing on my ham bread stick, disappointed in the filling as well. The steak, bacon cheese pie had a weird taste, feel it may have been the thickened gravy. Pastry was good. Hubby enjoy the vegetarian pie. Lamination was obviously a few days old as the sponge was quite stale., Jayne Hall, 2 months ago
