Very busy on Fathers day. It's a shame you can book but I imagine It would be fully booked alot! Nice food, the eggs were a little over cooked and I would have preferred the waffle on the side. But over all it was a very nice breakfast. The staff were friendly, helpful and timely. The pancakes and waffles were fluffy and delicious.
So close!
First of all - love the vibe, and general design/aesthetic of the interior and the branding. It's a very fun feel. The American inspiration of places like iHOP comes in strong, and more so with the food. Love how friendly the staff are as well.
The food serving amount can only be described as colossal, bordering on comical. You'll gasp when you see the massive fluffy pancakes coming towards your table after we've been so conditioned to flat and thin pancakes in Britain. Make no mistakes - that's good! And I'm VERY pleased to say the milkshakes are THICK, as they should be. 90% of the places I order milkshakes make them far too milky and runny - not so here. Top marks for those.
That last missing star is a pretty important one. You've got great value for money here but it's missing the final 'pop'. I think that's the flavour of the food. The vanilla ice cream here - orderable in the milkshakes and with the pancakes - misses the mark sadly. The taste of it is too bland and slightly milky tasting. A switch to another brand might be helpful. I would recommend trying Five Guy's vanilla and caramel milkshakes as the gold standard in the UK or anywhere outside of Cold Stone's Creamery. The pancakes are missing something too I can't quite describe. It might be a lack of a butter topping (which is particularly nicely done at the aforementioned iHOP), or might be the maple syrup isn't potent enough. I'm not quite sure.
Otherwise - great place! I will probably come back to try their savoury food, and then again in the future to see if their sweet offerings gain that extra pop of taste.

Excellent breakfast given to us in a takeaway container in a quiet garden by the river to the back of this property. Lovely meal lovely surroundings
