Tuck into jacket potatoes, salads, paninis, doorstep sandwiches or their renowned cheese and ham grills. Don’t forget to leave space for a slice of cake though! Cake specials include Cookie Dough Overload, Salted Caramel Chocolate Cheesecake, Triple Chocolate Brownies, Banana and Passion Fruit Loaf, plus so much more to list.
