Really nice cooked breakfast, best one around Swinton for sure. Really nice staff and very attentive. Bacon had little fat on, food was fresh and hot. The reason for 1 less star is I think the toast is buttered with margarine not butter.

Got to say this place is a gem. After reading reviews I thought I'd give it a try and I wasn't disappointed. The large breakfast was delicious and large ha. Have to give a mention to the extremely friendly staff too who enhanced my visit. Can't wait to try some of the other food on the menu

I ordered a large breakfast for £5.95. Comes with 2 bacon, 2 sausage, hash brown, 2 eggs, black pudding, tomatoes, beans, mushrooms and 2 toast. Plus £1.20 for a cup of tea. It was absolutely delicious and worth every penny. The staff are very friendly and a credit to the cafe.

Food was great but very hard to understand what I was saying. Cafe was very quiet but was only there before closing, all in all a nice clean cafe with a good food and drink option.
