Family-run cafe set up by local woman who wanted to offer a place to have a drink and a chat

Owned and run by Dolly Mann, with support from her daughters, the cafe and takeaway offers an excellent selection of sandwiches and wraps, ranging from cheese and tomato to chicken tikka, breakfast menus full of egg, bacon and sausage and fluffy jacket potatoes.

The hot drinks are a treat as well, with several types of tea, coffee made from 100 per cent arabica beans and creamy and rich hot chocolate, as well as ice cream milkshakes and smoothies, plus several indulgent desserts.

Ms Mann, who has lived in the area for more than 30 years, said she had decided to open the business after noticing there was nowhere nearby to catch up with friends and have a coffee at an affordable price.

She says: "There were no other cafes around here, so I thought it would be a good idea to open something to offer people hot food and drink.

"What we've been doing since we started in November is doing breakfast items and little brunch items and it's been to start up something new in this area."

Ms Mann's daughter Simmy Kaur says the cafe has been about building a new hub in the area and said they tried to make something for everyone.

"We've tried to make it so that everyone has something they can order, such as the hot food with jacket potatoes, with the full English Breakfast and the toasties, as well as the kids menu," she explains.

"We're also dog-friendly, so we do a range of hot drinks for dog walkers, as well as drinks for dogs, and we've found the community to be really nice, with a lot of regular faces that we love to see."

Ms Kaur says the cafe has been working to become a community hub as well as a cafe, with a number of events having already taken place in the cafe.

"We've have a few tarot card reading evenings take place here and we've even planning a Peppa Pig fun day in the cafe, which is really exciting.

"We've also planned a sip and paint evening next month that we're really excited about as we know there's nothing like that around this area and we're always talking to our customers to see if there's any improvements we can do.

"The community have been so warm and welcoming to us and I think they really value something that is local, which has parking and has lovely, freshly made food available."

Ms Mann also feels the community has been very welcoming and welcombes the feedback from customers about what they like and what they think could be changed.

She continues: "I get a lot of good feedback from the people in this area and I know that we are discussed on one of the neighbourhood WhatsApp groups as we have quite a lot of regulars from the area.

"The best feedback is on the bacon and sausages as they say how fresh they are, plus we get lots of feedback on drinks where they'll tell me that certain places give them lukewarm drinks, whereas they're nice and hot from here.

"All of our food is locally sourced and that helps as people like to eat things from the local area, so I hope we can see more local families come in, chill out and enjoy themselves here."

Ms Kaur adds: "We've also gone through a change of menu and done several sizes of the full English breakfast, so people can come in and order the size they want, as well as customise it with changes and extras.

"I think what makes this place work is that you get freshly made food served with a smile."
