"On my travels I thought I’d try this place as I’ve passed it many times and was on my route. Unfortunately they didn’t take phone orders, but understandable in this trade I guess for P&L margins for dummy orders and so on, but would have really helped me out on the day as time was pressed…and I was hungry. Also it’s cash only, which in today’s electronic transactional world is odd and I would guess catches a few people out, but that’s the businesses prerogative. Outside 1st impressions, not great to be fair. The outside dining area is right next to the car park and very loud if you’re trying to have a relaxing meal. Maybe quieter later in the day. The window boxes outside have had little love recently which hosted a variety of dead or dying plant life. There was also lots of cobwebs etc on the main entrance. Also, the designated assembly point, in case of a fire or evacuation, was interesting very close to the road and petrol station. I think the rear car park would be a safer option, but this may not be the choice of the cafe and be pre designated by the H&S team. Inside, much better. Clean and seemingly comfortable with a few patrons enjoying their meals. Guy serving was smiling and friendly. I think there was a review previously that said something along the lines of this was a transport cafe. Tbf, it is without trying to take anything away from its ambitions. The website (Which is very good) I think sells it as something else and from the reviews does some very good Sicilian courses, but the main trade here is breakfasts I’d suggest, which I’m guessing tells its own story. The cobs we had were served quickly and were of good quality, so no grumbles there. As with all dining experiences, the first bite is in the presentation, unfortunately if passing trade think the outside isn’t great there’re unlikely to be drawn in next time around. Maybe back one day."

"We used to come here quite often for breakfast pre Covid and decided to come again as it had always been nice. We’d booked a table beforehand but it took a while for anyone to notice us to show us to our table even though there was only one person being served at the till and we’d clearly been seen by other staff. Anyway while seated it took a while for anyone to take our drinks order, surprised they didn’t take this when we sat down. On first glance at the menu was how expensive it was now, £4.25 for a large cappuccino I think is madness you wouldn’t even pay that for a Starbucks and it was nearly £3 for a single espresso. I wouldn’t have minded so much if the coffee was really good, in fact it tasted like hot milk. Obviously they have limited staff as we’re all dealing in troubling times so they don’t have as much on the menu for breakfast they have a full english, vegetarian breakfast and eggy bread. I asked if I could have eggs on toast instead but due to the limited staff they couldn’t even though I thought this would be quicker?! The food took quite a while and it was ok, like the meat and eggs are fresh which I think is why we go back there even though the fruit salad the eggy bread was served with was brown, but the service is odd and long and the prices are crazy. £10.95 for eggy bread and £11.95 for a full English? I don’t really understand them and I felt quite robbed to be honest, like I never normally look at prices and understandably were going through a pandemic but this isn’t an excuse to cash in on it, it’s a good job I wasn’t vegan and wanted alternative milk otherwise I’d have had to pay £1 more so my coffee would have been £5.25 how is that right?! For that reason I don’t think I’ll be back unfortunately."

"Visited early doors, in fact there were no other customers in when we arrived. The older chap was at the counter when we arrived and we said hello to him as we came in, and confirmed our booking. The younger waiter joined him and we all said hello to him, a greeting which went unanswered. He showed us to our table without speaking to us and came back with the menus before we 'd even got our coats off. The tone for the evening was set then. He took our drinks order, answering impatiently when we asked what beer they had on. When he came to take our food order he glowered at us throughout and interrupted when we were ordering. Couldn 't bring himself to say please or thank you at all. Conversely, he was charm itself with a table of three women who had by now come into the restaurant, laughing away. I 'm not sure what his issue with us was the only thing I can think of was that he took exception to our wearing masks when we entered the place (we took them off when we sat down of course): the older waiter also seemed out of sorts, but he can be moody anyway. After he served the popadoms, which were damp but warm, as if they 'd been microwaved from frozen, the younger waiter seemed to twig that we weren 't happy with his attitude he may even have heard us say he wouldn 't be getting a tip. In any case, he managed to squeeze out a thank you . Too late, by then the evening was spoiled for us. Main course was served, OK but nothing spectacular we finished our drinks and went. I 've been coming to the Red Rose for years with family and friends and never had service like this. I won 't be coming back."
