5 stars is not enough to rate this place ! I'm a landscape gardener currently working close by , the weather isn't the best but knowing I've got some amazing warm food close makes it so much better. The pie and peas are spot on , the breakfast sandwiches are great and the cakes and coffee are amazing too. It makes me want to work a Saturday just to try the specials which look out of this world. To top it all off service is top and friendly. I will definitely miss this place once the jobs complete. Thank you.

Great pies, brilliant place to go for breakfast or lunch. Mark and Michelle are wonderful owners offering a great supply of local Yorkshire produce, and there's delicious Yorvale ice cream now as well

A nice coffee with 4 tables outside and a serving hatch to take orders. The guy who served me was friendly.

Good breakfast. I called in here to waste a little time whilst my daughter was at her gymnastics lesson around the corner. I ordered a medium full English and it was very good but took a while to arrive. I did another few errands then called back in get a turkey club sandwich for my daughter and it took ages to make, I was worried I’d be late for pick up, but the sandwich was good.

Michelle and Mark catered for 60 at our wedding anniversary party - it was difficult to select only 3 food options as they all sounded delicious! We could not be happier with the quality of the food, the service with smiles, and the calm efficiency with which they set up the gazebo and cooked and served our guests. Vegetarian options for each dish were offered and every last scrap of food was eaten which has to be a good sign! I would not hesitate to recommend them and would certainly book again xx
