Looks a bit rough and ready when you get to the door, don't let this put you off, nice and clean inside. Not a big dining area, only has 4 tables but this is a takeaway in reality. Food is excellent, makes a lovely spam butty. Choice is excellent but the piece de resistance has to be the home made plate pies. The cheese and onion is beautiful, second to none. Apparently, the chilli is very good although I didn't sample any. If you're in the area, give them a try, plenty of room to park outside. I did not receive any favouritism for this review, I just like to tell others where good food can be bought at a reasonable price.
