Stopped here today for late lunch while shopping in Linlithgow. We got the lentil soup and an arran cheese sandwich.
It was absolutely beautiful. The bread was very nice! Soup was scrumptious. Cheese sandwich came with little pot of tomato chutney, side salad, crisps and homemade coleslaw. Couldn't finish it all, it was so generous. Also beautiful deli area at front with some lovely produce. Will be back again soon. Thank you and well done!

Service terrible, food average at best. Portion size very big.
Large menu selection but no offering of child's menu.
Coffee awful.
Not great for families at all.
High chairs were dirty. Had to clean one myself before putting my daughter in it. Not sure how covid sage it was as didn't see much cleaning I between customers in the seating area.
Wouldn't be going back in a hurry!

It's a fabulous place, the staff is super friendly, everything looks delicious and very reasonable prices. There's plenty of space to sit in and have a lovely meal or to take away. I would definitely come back! All the regulations in place, everything is spotless.

Just visited randomly for a bacon roll. Ended up buying much more as it looked amazing. Fresh meat, pickles, chili's and cheese along with an excellent latte were the picnic for the day. Shocked at the low price for all of this. Just great.
I will be back for more, very soon.
I went back and sat in. Great steak and cheese Panini with side salad. Also sampled the pulled pork. Both were excellent.

The staff were amazing; attentive and lovely. The lunch was fab, many things to choose from and very hearty. The lentil pate was quite tasty. The brownie was the best brownie I've ever had. It was moist and rich. My only hesitation with the experience was that my husband's coffee loaf was a bit dry, otherwise it would have been entirely perfect. I would go back for that brownie alone.
