One of my favourite places to eat in Ashford. Don’t be fooled by initial appearances. The decor isn’t fancy or over the top, but the place is clean and tidy. Rather than fancy mirrors, fake palm trees and steam punk lamps this place delivers great food, great service and a lovely atmosphere. It reminds me of the honest decent “greasy spoon” cafes of the 1980s - but the food here certainly isn’t greasy! Much prefer places like this where the money is invested in the service and food rather than somewhere else that charges £9.99 for a poached egg on sourdough toast for the privilege of sitting on a futon and eating it off a plank of varnished wood.
I never leave here hungry. Can’t fault the food and the prices are competitive and value for the food you get. Everything is hot and cooked fresh. When it’s quiet I’ve had my meal served in well under ten minutes. The first time I didn’t believe it could be cooked fresh - but it was; every mouthful was tasty and hot, even half way through I was still burning my tongue!
The staff here are all friendly and helpful. I’ve seen cafes with more staff than this run less efficiently, but here even when busy just one or two lovely ladies are rushing around delivering and taking orders so fast they just don’t seem to stop. And despite this I’ve never had a wrong order or been forgotten.
The only downside is I don’t live close enough to visit daily. But then if I did I’d probably be 5 stone heavier by now!
