My wife & I live in Nottingham & have been visiting this brilliant cafe most Tuesday's when we do the school run for our grandson in Langley Mill. The food is great, service is quick & the staff very friendly. It also has a great choice of menu. If you're in the Heanor area, pop in & give them a try & like us, I'm sure you'll keep going back. Davy & Sharon.

We tried this little gem today for lunch my daughter met me during her lunch hour. The lady serving us was so accommodating and understanding despite clearly being rushed off her feet she did everything with a smile and chatted away to all customers young and old I would highly recommend anyone to try here for food or even just a pit stop and a drink Friendly atmosphere fantastic food and all done with a smile
