Lovely experience at Corner Café! The burger was absolutely delicious. The bun was soft, the chips were crispy, and everything was served hot and nicely presented. The staff were really friendly and welcoming.

I love this place and go here often. I park in the Co Operative car park, do my shopping, then walk down for some nosh. Kinda know some of the regulars now, and always put the world to rights with them. Food is great, and fresh, cooked while you wait. Staff are brilliant and nothing is too much, you know, if you want an extra something, that is not on the set menu. A lovely experience, calm, no rush, nothing is a problem. Try it.

What a wonderful find this place is. We were in the area visiting and so pleased we chose to eat at this place. Super clean, first class service and wonderfully prepared food. It happened to be my birthday and the tuna salad I had was far superior to far more expensive establishment's, quite how they serve something this amazing for only £5.90 is beyond me. Very highly recommended and I shall definitely be going back. Well done and thank you. X
