A good traditional cafe. Always a very friendly welcome and food is great, always have to have a full English breakfast here! Perfectly cooked, not too fatty but full of flavour.

I went here today and I enjoyed what I had . I also enjoyed half of my wife's very friendly staff and the cafe being there for over 30 years I left it to long to try it .I won't bother with Morrison's cafe no more.

I’ve been coming here for many years, since it was painted yellow outside even. I’ve always come here with my family and enjoyed the milkshakes and food I’ve had. Everyone that works here has always been friendly and lovely. I remember as a kid being given a lolly when we had finished eating and were on the way out. Thank you all.

Here at 8.30 wednesday morning. No crowds as expected. Very polite and helpful staff. Very reasonable prices and the meals were excellent. Toilets available. The only problem is it's cash only but many cafes are nowadays. There is a cash machine opposite the cafe, so everyone happy. I highly recommend Rest Awhile.
