The food was not bad but the seating area was dirty and the staff was smoking at the back/kitchen which filtered into the restaurant part. The presentation seemed a bit primative but the fries were good. The sausage was in batter which I did not ask for. I waited a very long time but the gentleman was pleasant enough.

Waa in swallow cafe today with bros girlfriend, and asked for French toast for both of us , the menue ssid 2 + but when it came it was only 1, 1 slice of French toast bread halved, so we both got 1 each and when I questioned it with the female trying to tell her this is not 2 this is 1 slice of bread halved and me and me and my bros gf only got 1 each not 2 each she was not kistning and asked if we want other slice I said yes do she came back with 2 1 for me and 1 other person, and instead of 5 pound which menue says, I was charged 7.50 for mine another 7.50 for my brothers gf's, for just 2 slice of French toast, each when it should have been 5 pound each and , burger 1 was 4.75 and tea and 1 cup of milk all take away containers all in cost j7st under 23 pound, total scam rip off, no way should that be almost 23 pound. I am going to demand my money back or at least half of it as the woman who served was not listning to my concern, and everywhere else you get 2 French toast actual 2 slice and when cut in half is 4 not 1 slice of bread and when cut in half makes 2, it is still only 1 square slice, and charged 7.50 a scam I will write to omnibus man about this

Read on Google MapsI don’t know if this place has changed hands but just had the worst delivery and meal experience I ordered a black pudding and chips and a single fish Iver an hour later it was delivered with a charge of over £17 When I opened it I had a black pudding supper and a large fish supper with two fish the fush was inedible as a t had been wrapped in a single piece of paper which split and the whole thing fell into the bag The batter on the fish was mushy and greasy not a hint of batter I phoned to complain but t would have needed an interpreter as he couldn’t make out what I was saying although he could hear me fine as i was ordering Won’t benusung them again and advise anyone else thinking about it not to bother
