"Pretty much the backbone of the Waterloo Road industrial area. The ladies in there are awesome and you can tell they work hard to provide good meals. Friendly service, fair pricing. Their roast meat rolls are nice and filling."

"Best stop for a country-style banger — a great way to start my morning with a slice of bacon and egg pie hot off the grill. Most of the kai is handmade and this team can cook."
