“ This is an absolute gem of a place, I found it whilst exploring Saffron Walden afew days ago and now I'm hooked! I had a breakfast there Saturday and a Sunday roast there Sunday.... the lovely young lady on front of house was amazing, she had a beautiful smile and was so so welcoming, the other young lady made my milkshake to total perfection, service was swift and the meals so fresh and tasty and more importantly served hot, the restaurant was beautifully clean and all menus were clear on both what all meals where and their price so no confusion, in all I'd say after many years myself working in hospitality and the restaurant business myself this establishment scored 10000/10000 for me, whatever your doing guys keep doing it xxxxxxxxx ”
