Wow. We just discovered this gem. Our takeaways were - Plain Mince Pie, Steak Diane Pie, Vovo slice, Carrot cake and Keylime pie - ALL HOME MADE and all tasted exceptional. Everything amazing. Congrats on your back to basics staples that are simple yet exceptional. It is perfection. We’re passing through on the way home to Syd but already discussing that we should spend a weekend in Newy just to come back here.

Dined in for breakfast, I apologised for not finishing due to the portion size. Had the vegetarian breakfast and the breaky wrap. Both with delicious fresh ingredients and all perfectly cooked. The staff are always cheerful and prices are affordable, especially considering the size of the meals. Plenty of seating, and also a good selection of cakes, slices and pies.

Staff are always friendly. I like the relaxed country feel to the place but that doesn’t affect the service. Coffee is always good.
