NO LONGER DOG FRIENDLY... "MAKE YOUR MINDS UP!" Unless its in the Winter when they have no customers. They cant seem to do enough for customers Dogs, when its raining during winter? Yet as soon as the Sun shines- we get told by Emma ( new manager? ) the Dog is no longer welcome as she is "Wet" or a bit "muddy"??? How does that LAW not work in the WINTER...? Oh yeh- its because Dogs dont get wet or Muddy in the Winter? Avoid this place If you have a Dog! Just for the record- most of your "regular" customers who keep you afloat during the long winter months are DOG OWNERS! Your loss- we used to spend approx 100 per week in that cafe- thats 5,200 a year! Bye Bye...

We've been going here for a couple of years, its not always been the place it is today ! We used to have to sit outside with the dog, not any more !! Now we're all welcome inside, dog included. If I'd been asked to describe the atmosphere last year, I would have said "library conditions" Now its like a little self sufficient community. Lots of regulars, all talking to each other , a real cafe atmosphere which is clearly creating loyal customers . Well done management and staff, its you guys who brought this together. Now, put the sauce sachets back on the tables, then I'll have nothing to complain about!! Vegetarian options: There's always something interesting for the veggie amongst us . And boy, he can be fussy !
