Excellent place to eat, great choice of food, large portions, decent coffee, can stay and chat awhile.Toilets a bit small.Restaurant all on one level including toilet.Parking a bit trickier, as only on the street. A couple of disabled bays.Suggest you book / reserve a table at the weekend.

Lovely little place on the main street in Alford. Love alk the little quirks, the gin bottles as vases and the tables and chairs. Great food too, very quick service and very good atmosphere.

Absolutely fantastic service & great food. Arriving as a party of 12 with 3 very hungry kids we were very quickly attended to and the kids food arrived first with ours arriving soon after. Would highly recommend (and we will be back)

Great help from staff to ensure we had the right choice for gluten free options to hand. They even brought a sample of the chilli out to ensure it wasn't too spicy for us before we ordered.
