Was working on a site nearby so popped in for some lunchtime grub and met the lovely lady behind the counter who was really friendly and provided fantastic service. Food was delicious and the prices were excellent! Gutted I don’t live or work nearby, just happened to be on site doing a job round the corner. I hope to be in the area again some time soon so I can pay another visit!

This is my 4th visit to Arnie's Cafe. This is a true hidden gem. I always pop in for breakfast when I bring my American vehicle in for work at a nearby Garage. The service and food quality is excellent . Great staff. So welcoming. Highly recommended!

Nice little cafe with friendly ladies serving and cooking. Had a really nice omelette. Only grumble was the low quality instant coffee, I'm not saying I should get Costa quality for £1.50 but at least Nescafé standard would be good. Will be back for sure!
