Our first visit. We ate outside as the weather was good for the time of year. We ordered tuna baguettes and a BLT baguette Both good quality and excellent value for money. Staff were friendly and attentive. We had to wait a little while for our food as they were very busy. Not a problem as we were made aware of the waiting time. We'll definitely be back.

What a little gem in the heart of Diss. Could be easily missed just happened to pass a sign out on the pavement. Terrific Stilton and broccoli quiche! Very attentive and friendly staff which I feel always makes a difference. Really lovely place to eat. Will definitely return very soon. Very nice to be asked my opinion on the food served to us. Thank you ladies.

This lovely place is a one of the towns little treasures. One thing you notice is a wide variety of food and drink, seating outside ( weather permitting) and indoors. Indoors the seating could for some feel a little tight for space, but not an issue for my best friend an I. Service was swift, the food was hot and tasty and best of all the bill didn't break the bank. I have been here once before and this review would still count for that too as the experience was just a good.
