A real little gem. A "5 star" food hygiene rated cafe. This place offers value for money and the produce used to produce the food is fantastic (not surprising as it is supplied by the local Whisby butcher). The service was excellent and although there is limited space for inside dining (maximum of 12) the wait for food if a large party (we were a group of 6 and didn't have to wait long as all for is freshly cooked). A take away service is available. The menu is varied and the "mega" breakfast is amazing as quality, value and size of the breakfast definitely fits the name. For anyone who plans to visit Rand Farm then this is the place to stop.

After getting ripped off at Hemswell yesterday (£4.50 for a one rasher bacon bap!) this place was a treasure. £6.50 for a 7 item breakfast, two slices of very fresh bread and a tea. (In a box as I had my little dog in the car who I ate it with!) Very pleased. Gx

We went yesterday. Polished off a breakfast. A lovely cuppa and some toast. We stop by when on food runs for the #StaplefordFoodProject Highly recommended the place. Food is spot on, portions are good and the staff very friendly.
