What a lovely place overlooking the docks. Attentive staff, nice background music and I should not have taken extra bacon on my sandwich and two cakes! A must visit place for Gloucester Docks.

visited for the first time today, seated really quickly, food came out fast and was really nice dis not disappoint. i went for the breakfast rosti stack which was amazing and my friend had the butterscotch banana pancake stack. only criticism is the menu on the website was not the same as the menu i was given when i arrived so would hope this could be more frequently updated. male server was slightly abrupt and i didn't get to order another item before he had walked off but i can appreciate it was a bank holiday Friday so he was probably rushing around. will be back soon!!

Tried something different for breakfast today – and it did not disappoint! I had the Turkish Eggs – perfectly poached eggs served over creamy, garlicky yogurt, finished with a drizzle of spicy butter and a touch of fresh dill. It might sound unusual if you haven’t had it before, but trust me, it works beautifully. The eggs were spot on – yolks still runny – and paired with warm sourdough, it was one of those flavours that makes you stop mid-bite and go, “Wow.” My husband went for the lamb sausages with eggs on sourdough, and again – wow. The flavours were bold, warming, and full of depth. Everything on the plate just came together so well. To top it off, we both had an iced caramel coffee – smooth, refreshing, and just sweet enough. We’ll definitely be back. 10/10 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

A cute little place, with nice views of Gloucester Docks. I had a brownie, while my girls had ice cream and we all thought it was lovely!
