This place is tucked away and hard to find but definitely worth it when you get there. The service is friendly and helpful, prices are reasonable and the food is excellent. Good portions and v tasty! There was a good mix of customers from families to workmen. The cafe is dog friendly and has a small play area for kids. Absolute gem!

A terrific cafe tucked away on an industrial estate. Very nicely cooked breakfast at a great price. Staff very friendly and efficient. The seating is basic but good enough and the tables cleaned between guests. Well worth a visit if you're nearby.

Tap & Tandoor

“On February 14th, I visited Tap and Tandoor for an evening meal with my daughter and girlfriend. First and foremost, the service was exceptional. Our server, Sam, was attentive and professional, ensuring we were well looked after throughout the evening. While the food was enjoyable, it didn't quite reach the level of authenticity I typically seek in Indian cuisine. The flavors seemed somewhat subdued, catering more to a general English palate. The lamb in the curry, for instance, had a gamier taste, reminiscent of goat, which overshadowed the spices. I would have preferred a bolder, more pronounced spice profile. Additionally, the lamb chops, while flavorful, were slightly overcooked, resulting in a somewhat dry texture. My girlfriend's butter chicken, while not entirely traditional, was the more appealing dish. I particularly enjoyed the "Papu" beer I ordered. Overall, we had a pleasant experience, largely thanks to Sam's excellent service. However, the food, while acceptable, didn't quite meet my expectations, making a return visit unlikely”

Really wanted try the cheesecake as that looked good but didn't have time others didn't want one. Didn't think I would have any room for it. Would Certainly come again and Cocktails was really nice one of my favourite drink Pina Colada. Staff was Welcoming and Helpful. Thanks for having us.”

“The staff, ambience and location of Papillon is just fantastic. The rib eye steak, Papillon Burger and the fries was also really great. Only the Onion Rings were a tiny bit of a let down. They were too oily (dripping in oil and not the nicest taste either). The desserts was excellent; specifically the bread and butter pudding. The custard that goes with it was also awesome. I would’ve given it a full 5 stars if it weren’t for the onion rings. The staff are really friendly and really make the place welcoming and lovely.”

“First time at Cosmo, and I will definitely return again! So much choice and the way the place is set out with the cooks being behind the counters where food is served they won't be getting in your way and they can see quite quickly if something needs topping up or replacing. We visited at lunchtime on Saturday booked for 12:30, I thought we wouldn't have to book, but yes, we did! I recommend booking whenever you want (unsure about weekday lunch) Where else can you enjoy a lovely Gammon Roast with lovely pieces of sushi, ribs, and a slice of pizza all on one plate! Will be returning, and we live around 40 minutes away.”
