Great to see cycle stands for bicycles, easy for a group of hungry cyclist to turn up and get served pretty quickly. Plenty of seating inside and out. They take your order and with in a couple of minutes drink come to your table, the food follows reasonably quickly considering how popular the places is and we were a group of 11. The full breakfast looked good, i settled for tea and toast, light enough to continue the ride. No complaints from the other riders, who are all fussy about coffee. Worth riding to
