"I'm currently in high school and know the owners, I've been going ever since the start of my intermediate days, always going after school to grab a quick feed with my mates. The food is very nicely priced with great proportions, and they treat their regulars well with some extra pieces! I used to order 2 potato fritters and get 4 during my intermediate days as a little boy. Very honest business and honest family."
