The food and drink are cheap and they offer a range of snacks or meals. Tea/coffee at under £1 and a very reasonably priced big breakfast. I’ve never in three years been unable to find a table to ourselves. It’s homely but nice, and car parking in the area behind the store or in toys r us is cheap. |
