9am on Sunday morning we had a brilliant cooked breakfast for two, with toast and coffee for £17 - the owner even gave us a sausage for our dog! Top class nosh, just the job! And there was parking right outside big enough for our campervan. Take cash (there's a machine in the Coop 2 min away).

So we stopped at this little cafe while taking a break from a event we was at. We was all very impressed by the cost of the food and the quality of the food that was served to us. The owner was a really friendly person. We had a full English breakfast and it was really goood. We all enjoyed the food. Worth a stop at if you are in the area. We will be back. We can't recommend this place a enough.

Stopped at this lovely little cafe en route to Scotland and was so impressed by the value, quality and service that I felt a positive review was well earned. The owner was really friendly and our cooked breakfast was delicious, served with a proper mug of hot tea. Very reasonably priced, good food so top marks all round for this quaint little cafe.

What a fabulous place this is. Doing good honest English food at very reasonable prices. Great tea and coffee too. The guy serving us was extremely efficient and very friendly. The decor is top notch and the atmosphere was just perfect after our long car journey. A very memorable experience.

Nice local cafe, super friendly staff, decent breakfast, good sized mugs of tea. The only downside is that they don’t take cards! Cash only.

Very friendly welcome with almost instant bonus biscuits as you selected your food. Extremely reasonable prices too. A very traditional style cafe in the centre of Penkridge, both in terms of decor and menu. Cash only. Open Sundays which I think is a huge plus with so many cafes electing not to.
