Well-behaved dogs welcomed. Nice atmosphere. I had a hot spiced apple drink, cheese, and ham toastie. My dog had a sausage. There are bowls of water at the door and outside.

I've had a couple of lunches here now and the food is always very affordable but excellent quality. Prep and service is fast - exactly what's needed on a work lunch break. Friendly staff. The menu is quite varied and inexpensive. I'm looking forward to trying the bacon, cranberry and cheese toastie - sounds yum!
