Visited here for the first time today, was very happy with the service and food. Cleanliness and social distancing was spot on, tables cleared and cleaned promptly after customers leaving ready for the next. Highly recommended and would definitely return. PS. I loved the sausages, very good quality. Thank you.

Lovely and friendly staff. Sausages good (don't like a cheap sausage) Clean and very well priced. Husband had 'knockout' breakfast and was very impressed.

Between me and my mother we like quieter places usually and the staff was very accommodating as my mother is in a electric wheel chair we sat outside and enjoyed a godly meal and I've eaten enough breakfast from just about everywhere but I'd never been into karens dinner as I normally pass there too late in the day but I say prices are dam good food as well and staff are happy to help with anything we needed
