Visited on a Sunday. Limited menu, just breakfasts, small and large. Busy and took nearly fifty minutes for food to arrive. It was superb however and just go with a wait expected and in mind.

Visited Thruxton for a free event. Lots of over priced food vans etc then I found this cafe. Lovely friendly staff, both indoor and outdoor seating and good selection of food too! Had the all day Jackaroo breakfast for £8.50 and it was very nice. Would recommend.

Great fry up. A bit hidden away but worth hunting out. We were visiting the area and our cooked breakfasts really sorted out our hangovers!
